1. He’s shome man to cut an auld sod boyo.

2. What is this?

3. Why do they slap the top before each next slice

4. You burn this to heat your home, right?

5. That’s a lot of hash

6. I was at the bog today doing the footing, its vividly in my nose at the moment

7. Black turf is the best.

8. What percentage of turf that’s burnt in homes is actually cut in this method these days? A very small amount.

   The proposed ban on turf cutting wouldn’t affect this man and this practice. Once he is cutting on his own land for his own use.

9. Born and bred Dub here. We used to cut it in the Dublin mountains. He is cutting very long sods.

10. That’s not Ireland or is it? I saw this vid earlier on r/oddlysatisfying

11. That is glorious

12. sure is satisfying to watch tho

13. Backbreaking work – done it once in the ‘ringdong bog’ and didnt last long

14. Why do people keep posting this shite. Over privileged country dwellers destroying millennia of carbon deposits. Give me a break.
