Trust me, I've wasted a lot of time this life by not having the right tool for the job.
I was never really a "tool guy." I didn't work on my own vehicles. I didn't build things at home. When I did build or fix things for work, I always used someone else's tools. All of the time that I wasted not having the right tool for the job is forever gone, and I'll never get it back.
A lot of times my "go to" tool was a hatchet. It can chop, it can hammer, it can pry. These days, though, I am trying to move away from that type of lifestyle. Thankfully, things are progressing at a pretty good rate too!
The other day I was heading down to our land when I heard a noise. I figured that I knew exactly what it was, but I wanted to see it for myself. Soon, I was standing at the property line that divides the 
As I walked the property line, soon something was seen moving up ahead. It looked like some heavy machinery and some people were farther up ahead, so I continued to investigate.
We had discussed this possibility earlier, and now it was happening. Many months ago, I began to chainsaw some of the trees on our property line. Recently, though, a neighbor got a good deal on a bulldozer and picked it up. Like so many people that I know, the man is generous, and had let 
THAT WAS QUICK!
Now, less than a day later,
Since we all try to avoid unnecessary expenses, this was a fantastic opportunity. To get to use a free dozer from our friend and neighbor instead of renting one was a huge enough benefit, but to have an experienced operator like
Personally, I was amazed at the brute force of the machine. In mere moments it did what would take me hours to even attempt. Time and time again trees that would defiantly stand in the way of lesser machines were uprooted and moved out of the way.
@Jaguarlife was even able to basically "stack" the downed trees too. When we get the chance to chainsaw them and cut them up for firewood or lumber, they will be ready and waiting. This was an amazing process to witness, as I had never seen anything like it.
From these photos it may be hard to believe that within the past 25 years this entire forest was clear-cut. All of the trees that you see in these photos are only a few decades old.
We chose to get rid of these trees to put up a fence between our properties. This will help keep certain animals where they should be and help us to avoid creating unnecessary problems for one another. We are not "destroying the forest" by doing so, but rather crafting and forming it. Actually, I plan on removing a lot of the existing trees and plants and replacing them with more beneficial ones.
It was witnessing things like this process that made me further appreciate the day and age that we live in. Trust me, I'd have no problem just using an ax and a hatchet to get the job done if I had to. However, to get the job done in a few minutes is much more expedient for all of us.
