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

1:13.6

shot for myself, I would have got myself something from Vortex Apparel. I've actually got a whole

1:17.6

bunch of Vortex Apparel and it is really nice stuff. I'm actually wearing some of their shorts

1:21.5
