    Maybe it helps with finding that tool in Portugal: The German word for it is "Strauchroder" and it's available at most garden centers in Germany. One manufacturer is Terrateck, maybe those are available in Portugal too. Also, importing one from Germany may be easier than from Canada.

    Theo is truly amazing! But so are you Bee - A year ago, you couldn't have done what you did in this video - that one track / road was super steep, plus all you do to care for the animals. Awesome. It's so fun to see you explore and learn about your land; to become stewards, protecting the land for the future.

    Bea, there are backpacks that are made with built-in foldout legs that are attached to a seat on top of the pack. They do work and you don't have to lug around a stool, because you'll have one already on your back plus, you can put stuff you may need for your walk in the pack itself.

    Well done. Your task ahead is a mammoth one and as much as the mimosa and broom is a pain there is also a great amount of satisfaction trying to eliminate them. That tool Theo is amazing. Definitely an opening there in Portugal. I can’t believe how Bella has blossomed in such a short time. It will be lovely when you can walk her and the goats together. I’m sure with your patience and experience Bea you will be successful. Take care both, keep safe. 💕 Dorset, UK

    I don’t know if this is possible, but I feel like I don’t know what the land is like, or the scale, where the ponds are etc. Would it be possible to get a drone shot of the land and then put a pin each time on where you are when you’re working in the forest etc.? Love you guys and have enjoyed watching you for so many years. Xx

    Bea you are crafty get some outdoor water resistant fabric make a backpack cushion or one with sling strap that you can wear and have to sit on. Of course as time goes on you can also place log stumps in places you enjoy stopping to sit. The cushions do come in handy though.❤❤

    🇨🇦 Hi Bea and Theo. I found a Canadian product called The Extractigator. Created by a gentleman with a mechanical engineering background. They have various sizes of weed/tree pullers, plus videos to show them in action. Their larger one can fold for ease of shipping. Perhaps worth looking into. Hope this helps.

    Theo your adventure reminds me when I was a young man in my late teens early twenties. I worked on the development of a botanical park here in Canada . We built roads and trails . We harvested the trees we could use and burned the slash in winter. We built boardwalks along the boggy sections of trails. We had a big old draft horse to do the pulling of stumps and hauling logs out, to be milled into useable lumber. It was one of the most satisfying jobs I ever had. I loved being in the woods in Fall and Winter working , the smell of the forest the sounds and the tons of fresh air was intoxicating. We chipped tons of bushes and branches to use to lay down on the trails for walking. And in the Fall we burned all of the slash in the wet part of the year. I know how you feel Theo , I know why you love your property. It is a magical job. No wonder you call it Miracle Mountain.

    Wondering if you brought the broom destructor to a local metal shop and had them make one for you or even make one yourself but you said previously you didn't like to weld but am sure you could get someone to make one or even a better one. Just my thoughts. An even longer handle would make it give you more leverage as well.

    Theo Hi I'm Dave I'm from Canada and I want to come visit you and Bea. ,when I come to Portugal this coming winter for a trip. I have a similar tool for lifting logs off the ground, so you can cut the logs up for fire wood. So you don't damage the saw. If you would like to tell me the name of that tool and where you get it . I would be happy to bring it with my luggage this coming winter. Can't be more to ship, than a set of golf clubs or skis and more useful. Let me know!

    You might want to build Bella a little leg wheel chair for those really long walks. Its a platform with wheels that straps to her back.

    From the US Southeast, we have mimosa also. I ruthlessly pick every sprouted one I see and feel sorry for myself at the number I have to hand pull every year. Your property has provided some perspective; I am content with my hundreds vs your hundreds of thousands! The large tall ones we keep give a lovely fluffy pink bloom late spring/early summer. Good stewards of the land you are.

    Well done. You will need to make sure those mimosa aren't left in contact with earth, because they can regrow roots and it would get very difficult to remove them from where you stacked them. When we clean up areas from mimosa we make sure we leave the cuts on the asphalt, not on earth.
