seems like everything I do involves cutting down, cutting up, limbing, bucking up, splitting up, sawing up, peeling, making stakes from, nailing into, painting wood from, chopping line through, surveying through, blazing, painting, burning up from, burning brush from, planing down, drilling holes in, sucking sap from, thinning out, and cleaning up after TREES. What do you guys do in areas without trees?
None of that. 😉
Man, you're sure hard on trees...
Go to home depot.
Geez Perry, you left out "hug".

I tried to put "Hug" just before "Cutting down" but my EDIT feature appears to be busted on Beerleg.
Run a 1 mile traverse in a straight line in 4 setups or less depending on the gun's distance.
I would be lost without trees.
Everyone turn your head and don't look.

In Point Hope, AK, the prime had to purchase kindling for the village to keep our lath in the ground overnight. A "gentleman's agreement" if you will.

Derive sub-centimeter geospatial coordinates on everything.

blazing lines is fun, in my opinion. There is something satisfying on a primal level about a line of painted blazes on the trees. My assistant is way better at it than me; his blazes are works of art. Mine look like a hacker did them.

yeah the joke is we need a napalm strike in here or chain saw down every tree within 300' so we can get a good GPS position.
When England (and the rest of Europe) was deforested they started digging up coal.
When the coal wagons rutted out the roads, they started digging up iron ore and making steels and railroads. Started substituting brick and stone and cement and iron for wood as a structural elements. Eventually switched to oil and gas and uranium for energy. Still waiting on cheap home fusion.
Not worry about ticks descending from them.
Not worry about having one or more directly on line of the essential shot.
Not worry about having a "widowmaker" do it's thing just as you go under it.
Not worry about "duff" burying a monument.
Not worry about the rodman "disappearing" into the shadows near day's end.
Not worry about strolling near a bee tree or hornets nest on a limb.
Not worry about a reference mark or item being grown over in a few years.
Not worry about tripping over downed limbs while looking somewhere else.

Living in the Great Plains for 30 years you soon get used to not living with trees. Now trees are claustrophobic. Last week I drove through Western Kansas for the first time, flat and treeless. I loved it (along with the 80 degree temperatures).
Don't get me wrong, I love the plains

beautiful!
it's true that a cleared radius makes a good defensive perimeter in a lot of ways. Helps curtail the spread of Fire. Bears. Revenooers. Good point about the ticks.
