Is that legal?
Depends, if you’re defending your homeland from foreign invaders that have abandoned peace agreements then you’re golden. On the other hand if you’re a lazy lumberjack then you might want to call a lawyer.
You know how mining is largely done with explosives these days? There is a timeline in which the same happened with logging. Imagine lumberjacks lugging around pounds and pounds of c4, retreating to a safe bunker a mile away, and clearing a whole forest at once
Given how dangerous felling trees can be, I’m surprised this isn’t more common.
I imagine this method produces a metric fuckton of unusable waste lumber.
You’re surprised that blowing trees up is probably a less safe and convenient way to fell them than using a chainsaw?
See, the thing about explosives is you can set them off from a long way away.
Which is terrific because it’ll get you out of the range of all the wooden shrapnel that the tree-turned-frag-bomb is going to be throwing around. Guess what projectiles mean? Exclusion zones, baby! I sure do hope you love calculating and drawing those on maps, you’ll be doing a lot of it. And don’t think you can just draw it and not cordon it somehow, nu-uh.
Apart from the extremely time-consuming nature of explosives work (because splody shit is dangerous), the waste of a lot of wood per tree, and the cost of all of this, it’s definitely a very convenient method. Would be super fun though, if not for all the zone-drawing bullshit and safety-schmafety
