I'm off grid in the woods this time showing you a bushcraft skill that is over 6,000 years old and is still done in woodlands to this day. Coppicing trees to make a renewable resource has been done for thousands of years. It made a decline in the 20th century due to the rise in popularity of fossil fuels but it is now making a comeback. In simple terms, coppicing is cutting down an area of trees, to allow new growth and to create more diversity in the woodland habitat. Not only do you get the resources from the cut trees to craft items like hazel hurdles, basket weaving, coracles and more. But you can also make fence posts and charcoal as well as stock up on firewood. The possibilities are endless, and when done correctly, you can create a sustainable and renewable resource that will last generations.
