Ah freedom is hard to come by hey. I have a DJI Mini 4 Pro but I've hardly used it.
We are always looking for wood just to keep warm tbh. When there's high winds we hope a few branches have fallen locally. There's lots of regs here too but it's a bigger country and you can get away with some things, sometimes.
Good luck with your wood.
Freedom is increasingly an illusion. And certainly, in the Netherlands, it feels like all your rights are being restricted more and more. I also understand very well that some things are not possible, but other things are unnecessarily regulated in my eyes.
Unfortunately, it is what it is, so it remains a search for possibilities among all the impossibilities. By the way, I have not given up on the drone dream yet. It will be a long-term plan, first income must be created, and that has priority because spending what you do not have is also an impossibility. To create that income, we will first have to find that wood without having to empty our wallets.
It will work ... eventually, but some creativity is required here. Thank you for your visit!
