The look on your face was so adorable. That's that love honey, when he can tell you what to do, respectfully, and you gone head and comply cuz you know he's right. 😜

    Travelling Sista I love your videos, I but was just little concerned 😟 about cutting down the trees, I just thought it would have been great 👍 if you planted 2 trees for every tree you cut down. If you keep cutting down soon won't have trees to cut down. Also the animals that live in bushes won't have a home . I'm not against cutting down trees but if you plant new one I think it okey. FOR A EVERY TREE YOU CUT PLANT 2, for the animals and wildlife that live there.

      (Disclaimer: I'm also NOT aganist timber Businesses)...but I agree with this comment and I'm genuinely intrigued, what obligations do you guys have as a company to compensate for the trees that you cut down and is there a limit to the amount of wood that you can harvest at any given period in that particular area. What measures are in place to ensure the forest is restored? Otherwise i really enjoy your content too. Apologies if I asked about this prematurely, but I would have loved to know your role/views on deforestation from the perspective of a timber company.

      @@lisalee5541 The fact that the video wasn't very clear, they will be alot of people looking at this video and seeing the opportunity too for business. Imagine having 100 people doing the same thing at the same time you can imagine the damage that will be done after 1 year of cutting down trees 🌳.

    You are not an everyday content creator but each comes with a lesson. Today’s lesson is the communal way and symbiotic ways Africans naturally coexist. I was going to suggest why not gat a crane to do the lifting of the logs to the truck which might be cost effective and that in the long run but the connections your family and these guys build could lead to something s greater. When I was a kid, if someone gives birth and there would be a naming ceremony, the ladies in the community will come together to cook the meals for the ceremony. It is a thing of the past now and that’s why we are losing our africanness

The climate there is very arid, and that tree looks like it comes from an alien planet, but the "blood" looks almost identical. It would be interesting to find out.
