Click on the cover image above to read some pages of this book! A forester's fascinating stories backed by the latest scientific research illustrate how trees nurture and talk to each other. In this international bestseller - which has sold more than 320,000 copies in Germany alone ? forester and author Peter Wohlleben draws on groundbreaking scientific discoveries to reveal the ways in which trees are like human families and communities: tree parents live together with their children, communicate with them, support them as they grow, share nutrients with those who are sick or struggling, and even warn each other of impending dangers. Wohlleben describes how these discoveries have informed his own practices in his forestry work: a happy forest is a healthy forest, and we need to recognise and nurture these relationships to support sustainable development. With their newfound understanding of the delightfully complex life of trees, readers will never be able to look at a walk in the woods the same way again. With a foreword by Tim Flannery About the Author Peter Wohlleben spent over twenty years working for the forestry commission in before leaving to put his ideas of ecology into practice. He now runs an environmentally friendly woodland in Germany, where he is working for the return of primeval forests. He is the author of numerous books about trees.

All of Your Favorite American-Made LogOX Forestry Gear in One Portable CarryOX Gear Bag! The newest in the line-up with five big improvements to the best-selling LogOX 3-in-1 Forestry MultiTool, which the Forester Package is built around. Containing all of the best LogOX accessories as well, this package is designed to go with you everywhere you’re working with a chainsaw, log splitter, or portable sawmill. The LogOX Forester Package Includes: 1. LogOX 3-IN-1 FORESTRY MULTITOOL - three essential firewood processing tools, bundled into one modular, compact, and portable tool design that quickly assembles with three Swing-Lock connection pins. This tool is made up of the following parts: 21” HAULER- Lift, drag, and roll logs, without bending over. Scientifically proven to reduce the painful arm and back strain of repetitive motions like loading log rounds onto a log splitter by up to 93% vs lifting by hand.Its ergonomic design delivers an undeniable mechanical advantage, but unlike flimsy timber tongs, you can lift or drag as large of a log round with the LogOX Hauler as you’re physically capable of doing by hand. The LogOX Hauler now features a ½” longer hardwood cross handle to comfortably accommodate larger hands and/or heavy work gloves. The Hauler, with its ergonomic wooden cross handle and outstanding hook design, is also a superior cant hook to use for rolling smaller diameter logs. Especially on portable sawmill and firewood processor decks. Three “Swing-Lock Connection Pins” allow you to quickly add the cant handle and timberjack attachments to the Hauler and transition between tools, providing you with a smooth workflow and the right tool when you need it. 40” CANT HOOK – Add the Cant Handle Extension to the Hauler, for more leverage & easier log handling. The laser-sharp hook & chiseled toe, originally designed to lift log rounds, provide a secure grip you can trust while rolling heavy logs.40" TIMBERJACK – Elevate logs to quickly, safely, & easily buck firewood rounds. This prevents chain damage from accidental ground strikes and bar pinch. New Hi-Vis orange hook contrasts with log to improve chainsaw safety.The new redesigned and patent-pending “BigFoot Timberjack” has 3.5X more ground contact than other timberjacks, providing a more stable elevated cutting platform. The curved front edge makes it easier to drag logs out of your way.The LogOX was designed in the woods of Vermont by an engineer and seasoned woodsman to be the most ergonomic, portable, and versatile forestry hand tool in the world. Its lightweight and modular design eliminates the need for multiple long-handled tools and easily travels wherever you do. With a LogOX and a chainsaw, you have everything you need to process a downed tree from roots to leaves. 2. HAULER HOLSTER - custom-designed premium leather and powder-coated US steel holster attach to a standard 2” work belt. This allows you to place the LogOX Hauler conveniently on your belt while keeping your hands free to operate a log splitter in between loading log rounds. This must-have LogOX accessory prevents the self-defeating need to continually bend over to pick the Hauler up off the ground while operating the controls of machinery. Not intended to be used to transport the Hauler while walking. 3. PICKOX PICKAROON ATTACHMENT - When attached to the included Cant Handle Extension with the same Swing-Lock connection pin, this pocket-sized picaroon attachment turns your LogOX into a 4-in-1 Forestry MultiTool.The versatile PickOX is perfect for picking up log rounds or split wood pieces, without bending over, safely dislodging stuck wood debris from a firewood processor, separating bucked rounds from a log pile, or unloading firewood from a truck bed or wagon. Features a replaceable hardened steel tip with a “keyhole” design that both smoothly bites into the wood for a secure hold and quickly releases it whenever the user chooses to. 4. CARRYOX GEAR BAG - This heavy-duty, American-made, 18oz natural canvas gear bag is easy to spot in hi-vis orange. Its compact design makes storage and transportation a breeze, while still having plenty of room to carry all of your LogOX gear, PPE, and then some with 1,300 cubic inches of internal space. Custom designed for LogOX tools, it has two large internal Velcro-secured pockets to store smaller items, a rugged double-layered bottom, double YKK zippers, and two long straps, which can either be carried by hand or worn like a backpack. Keep the Forester Package in your vehicle, alongside your chainsaw, and never worry about downed trees blocking your path ever again.

A billhook is a type of cutting tool with a curved blade that is commonly used for trimming and pruning in gardening and forestry work. It typically has a short handle with a hooked end that provides leverage for pulling and cutting. The billhooks blade is usually made of steel and has a sharp inner edge and a hooked outer edge that allows for a range of cutting and pulling actions. The tool can be used for a variety of tasks such as cutting branches, vines, and bushes, trimming hedges, and even chopping wood. Billhooks have been used for centuries and are still used today in many parts of the world, particularly in rural areas. They are particularly useful in situations where a saw or larger cutting tool would be too unwieldy or cumbersome. The design and size of the billhook can vary depending on its intended use, with some models being larger and heavier for chopping wood, while others are smaller and more compact for fine pruning work.
