harry hill a thousand year old oak tree would of been useless for shipbuilding! rotted from the inside and hollow!

harry hilland thats if you could find a thousand year old oak tree..

finnplanb3 But they would be that age now if they had not been cut down in their prime.

finnplanb3 They do exist, most are on the lands of manor houses where they had protection.

harry hill they would of never been cut down for shipbuilding have you seen a thousand year old oak?no good for building use. shipbuilding they would of used purpose grown trees, these purpose grown trees still exist today seeing as the company i work for uses them (im a traditional timber framer). aincient woodland where old oaks will be wouldnt have been used.

well, its a tragic thing....

+Mr Swifte Take a picture and post it on your channel Mr Swiftus! :)

+Mr Swifte You have the right idea there. I have planted as many trees in my yard as there is space for. I may even plant more. They really help shade my house in the summer, and slow the wind in the winter. They also help use up some of the CO2 that people worry so much about these days. Just doing my part, in a small way, to save our planet. ;)

How short sighted you fools were. There is a day when they will all be gone. Ever think of that idiot? May you starve then for sure!

@@mikeravenelle7073 You missed the whole point of this comment and choose to call me an idiot...Well done Einstein...You do realize how old these pics and videos are, right ??? Don't knock on Loggers unless you wipe your butt with your hand, because toilet paper isn't grown in a garden...

@@MadDogXJ Leave the rest of the old growth alone MORON. Unless it's dying. Your kind would cut down the rest of the old growth and then whine to the rest of us about your dilemma. Read books, get educated fool.For some reason I noticed in your comments an interesting preoccupation with the human anus. You might want to look into that obsession?????

@@MadDogXJ I reread your comment, painful as it was to do, and have a question for you: did you go to school past the 4th grade? Just saying...Educate yourself and I may consider thinking about your ideas. Don't hold your breath LOL!

To bcci324 - If you're living in a wood house, using toilet paper, own books, pencils, notebook paper, etc. etc. etc. - you are a consumer same as all the rest of us. When European area peoples started invading this landscape, this entire piece of turf of the 48 contiguous states we now call the U.S. - the humans we call (Indians), they - (back then), only consisted of a population size estimated to be 20,million, And, that population size - and life-style was completely in harmony with nature’s paradigm - not out of balance with, nor incompatible with - natures healthy functioning operation.. They hunted Bison, Elk, Deer, and Bear; foraged for roots and berries; set fire to the forests and prairies to improve the hunting; and in some places, grew crops. But the wilderness was huge and diverse, and all life - [including human] - was sub-subservient to the overwhelming, natural forces of nature. Now there are 380 million sloppy, self-centered, stupid, irresponsible, wasteful, humans, - who created a program called the ECONOMY - which is based on consuming nature’s products- products needed fuel the opeerations of this economic pardigm. And that paradigm needs to operate with steady growth in it's healthy functioning. The economy is the HUMAN web of life - laid out over, and on top of, Nature’s web of life. If the economic web of life isn’t operating fully and correctly, people don’t have jobs. Without money - they don’t have food, can’t have their own shelters, have computers, internet service, Tvs, cell phones, cars, etc etc etc. And people without necessities - die, and then others get very unhappy about their destitute financial situation, So they riot, lute, burn, and kill each other, to get what they can’t buy, so they go out to get their needs met..Humans are a continually growing, consuming horde - who cannot govern themselves - to not be smart about their behvior, they are a self-destructive, nature destructive, sea of problems And the first issue of their self-inflicted mess is - they can’t control their own population number of - their growing added numbers of more and more oftheir kin d .... more wasteful consuming polluters. Well - there you go. Have a pleasant day.

bcci324 -- I didn't mean to try and be sarastic or put you down for your intelligent concern about leaving Old Growth Forests be, exist undisturbed - that's the only intelligent way to operate - protecting such important pieces of our ecosystem. I'm with you about that. I only wanted to bring to your attention that - our economic-program that's in place to make it possible for [too many] of us -to coexist with each other - and do business with each other - make money to use as the means of exchange to aquire (purchase) all the things needed, (or want) for survival, and for entertainment. - comes first - no one wants to go hungry, or their family go hungry, if they need to cut down a forest to insure their survival and wellbeing needs.are gained by doing that.. This economic system would operate almost perfectly - [if-if-if ] humans were perfect in their actions. If you want to really understand about how this world operates, why things are done the way they are - it's all understandable via knowing about how the economy operates - will explain most of the reasons.

chiparoo222 Man, you nailed it that time. Now we add "drug addicted and couldn't care less about anything" to the list of human weaknesses. Hurray for God's highest creation.

bcci324 The images are from colonial times and you judge these people for wanting to build a future for themselves and generations to come? Timber from trees was used in those times for the building of log cabins, furniture and every day essentials. Your use of grammar and spelling suggest you have had poor education so maybe a trip to your local Library might be a good call and you can read up on your countries history and see a time when men were men and not the limp wristed softcocks that roam your neighborhood.

We hopefully learn.

+Nikola Romanos There are still large trees like that in our nations forest here in the U.S. They will never be cut down by the lumber industry. If you want to see a lot of large untouched forest just take a look at northern California, Oregon, and Washington state. There are trees there that can't be reached by the lumber industry. www.nps.gov/seki/index.htm
