Dude, I've watched some of your vids and I can't quite understand what you're doing out there in the boonies, hacking away at the bushes. I hate to say it, but you dont seem to be making much headway.

tell me about it!
there's an unending supply of bushes it seems...(great for testing knives tho)
but it's all going to a good cause! I have a trail in the making that I've been working on for two years now, and it's finally nearing completion. Another 40-60 hours worth of work and it will be good to go. Then I'll put up some videos of 'forward progress'

It must be awesome to live so close to untouched wilderness. Got many critters running around in that?

lots of critters indeed.
I don't go out of my way to disturb the bears, but it's pretty impressive watching them climb a tree at speed. Cougars are out there too, but I've only seen them once in a blue moon. I'm convinced I can sometimes feel their presence- all my hairs stand on end. I routinely sneak up on deer. Hunting them is fun, sometimes you can get pretty close.
It's always a relief to find deer scat when I'm exploring new areas. It's freaky when you travel a game trail that's worn in, and you stumble across cougar scat...
The forest animals around here are pretty timid still. There are wolves and elk further up in the hills- the area I work in is bounded by a road and a growing amount of development, so neither wolves nor elk.
I see more animals like deer and bears hanging out in the burbs than I do in the woods. Sooke is a rapidly developing town in a rainforest environment and lots of animals are being displaced. It's quite sad, in many ways.
