"they don't use power tools to cut down any of the trees, only hand tools. Why? Well, if you have to use your hands, you'll pause and think carefully about which tree you cut down before you expend all that effort"

Love this slowness/intentionality. This whole post is making me miss the UK! Hope you have a great trip. I may put on my dirndl in solidarity.
