Thanks for the upload. As I have said in other videos like this, it mades more sence to do this by hand, there is hardly any 'investment' in machinery and a man can cut enough for a small comunity instead of clearing as far as you can see and selling all over the place. This way it is only used locally. Take care. mrbluenun
He is cutting peat or turf as it is called in Ireland ‘ peat or turf is cut in late spring on the bog ‘ after it is cut into sods it is spread out on top of the bog and left to dry out ‘ when it is dry it is loaded on a trailer and brought home to his home ‘ when the winter comes it is used as fuel to heat the house and keep the fire burning ‘ or used in a cooker to cook food ‘ this has been done in Ireland for centuries ‘ there is little or no bogs left in Europe ‘ but are plentiful in Ireland ‘ hope u find this helpful
Thank you brings back memories.
Thanks for this video. I'm exhausted just watching. Can't imagine you doing this day after day.
Beautiful!
Thank-you!
I don't know what it is about cutting dirt that's so fascinating, but it's fascinating, indeed.

Brown Banks Not Great Turf
А чет это такое?
КритКхох самому интересно, но чтото похоже на торф.
Наверное торф для топки выдобывает?
