We do a lot of talking on the podcast about figuring out how thick an area is going to be or what

0:05.1

you can expect going into a certain area based on when it was cut. Well, I got just the tool for

0:09.8

you to figure that out. Onex actually has a timber cuts layer and it'll show you on a national

0:14.2

forest, the exact area that was cut and what year it was cut. So maybe you've been hunting a

0:18.8

pine thicket and you're like, how old is this pine thicket? You could pull it up on Onex

0:22.3

and look and see, hey, this was cut in 2017. This was cut in 2020. Now suddenly you have a gauge

0:28.4

for just saying, okay, okay, this is a three year old cut. So this is how thick a three year old

0:33.2

cut is in my area. Now you're going to be able to use that to kind of start building patterns

0:37.2

and stuff. It's a really awesome tool. It's under the tree crops and cover layer where you're going

0:41.6

to also find stuff like wetlands, agron producing oaks, thermal deer cover, deciduous versus

0:46.8

coniferous and a host to other things. So go check them out. If you want to get 20% off of your

I know a lot of guys out there can relate to me. This Christmas, you probably got a whole bunch

1:09.2

of underwear socks, maybe some t-shirts, stuff like that. That's all nice and good, but you know,

1:13.3

if I could have shopped for myself, I would have got myself something from Vortex apparel.

1:16.8

I've actually got a whole bunch of Vortex apparel and it is really nice stuff. I'm actually

1:20.5

wearing some of their shorts right now. Their workout shorts are really nice. They got a shirt

1:24.2
