Land clearing is serious business in Portugal due to the prevalence of wild fires and forest fires. When we bought our 1 acre plot in 2020 the grass was 2m tall, the trees hadn’t been pruned in years and we could barely see the four corners of the property. Over time we’ve strimmed, pruned, chipped and mowed our way to something much more visually pleasing and much more useful.
Join us for a Flashback Friday episode and see how our land clearing and brush cutting process (and tools) evolved over the last 18 months. Plus discover what we did (and didn’t) find as a result of our efforts.

It seems be the channel moto: "More digging required…" Well done, by the way.
I think that 50 years ago that was paradise.
Coming on great,i see you have not found a bit of lead for barky,hehe.
LOVE u guys.
Bravo to you both. Hard work , lots and lots of it.
Please remember to protect your skin from the sun! It is really dangerous to exposed like that without protection! All the love from Brazil
portugal looks so nice , are there jobs there
Gorgeous piece of land mate hard work plays off
I just had this done on our property in Viseu, it's 45000 square meters so no way I was tackling THAT alone! You guys need to invest in protective clothing when you're clearing land!
They have plastic pants that will help but there are also leather chaps (my favorite) that you can wear so the brambles don't tear your legs apart. By the way, if you get an infection from the ferns of brambles they are very, very hard to cure…
Continued good luck on your journey!
OK question….. on that flail brush mulcher thingy…. can you change the front device to a plough?
After chipping put it through a shredder. And Turning it into mulch and use it for rustic pathways/bare earth cover. You can use it for crop mulching 1ft deep to suppress weeds. it will will help trap water, increasing moisture which helps lower fire risk.
Just an FYI, in Bermuda we use our roofs to catch water and store it underground. We regularly add a small amount (~1 cup per 10,000 gallons) of pure bleach to help sanitise the water and kill off any larvae. Not sure if this is something that can help with your storage.
A trimmer is surely not agreeable with insects, living in the meadow, isn't it?
Great video! Really enjoy seeing your progress, congrats!

👏👏👏🥰
Thanks for posting and sharing.
Well…healthy leaving!
I think you guys should get a blade for your weed cutter. It would save you a lot of time. Love your videos and how the project is coming along.

Perfectly cleared fields sure doesn't look like an abandoned farm
Can you barter?
What’s the goal, be independent or make profit?
Can you rent animals? Can someone bring “Hurd” to eat your weeds?
Does everyone get animals to eat down weeds? Are there no records there with maps? Can you rent machines? Do people come and do that for a price? Isn’t there a list of order for Managment of land?…
