Part 6/11:
A core feature of the day involves managing the land’s stubborn tree stumps. The host demonstrates a controlled burning approach using diesel to soak into the stumps, followed by ignition. Cedar and pine stumps are tested, with cedar burning more readily due to its properties.
The process involves multiple rounds of burning, with the goal of smoldering the stumps from the inside out, ensuring they burn for extended periods—sometimes weeks—to fully decompose or be safe to remove later. They also talk about fire safety measures, such as setting up fire rings around unburned stumps and monitoring the burn process carefully.
