‘Sister Wives’ Real Reason Kody Brown’s Chopping Down Trees

Kody and Robyn Brown - Sister Wives

During the latest episode of Sister Wives, Kody Brown can’t resist taking the opportunity to cut down a tree. While his monogamous wife was concerned, Kody faced his fears and took down the tree. However, fans see the real reason Kody was chopping down trees while Robyn Brown stood by questioning his moves.

Kody Brown’s Chainsaw Therapy

In the latest episode of Sister Wives, Kody Brown needed a little chainsaw therapy as Christine Brown Woolley and David Woolley were happily skipping down the aisle. Although Kody admits he didn’t feel great while cutting down the trees, he proceeded to clear some space for Robyn. Even though he had cut down “a thousand” trees, his nerves were shot and he had an eerie feeling something would go wrong. When Robyn was “helping” she stated her “monogamous” rule that he had to promise to clean up the tree and not just let it set for six months.

Likewise, Robyn revealed she has some trust issues with his tree cutting since he landed one on their house previously. Seemingly, Kody needed a distraction from thinking about Christine moving on and he thought hard labor was the answer. However, during Season 18, many fans made the connection that trees are very symbolic in the Brown family. When he chose to chop trees while discussing Christine’s wedding it appeared to be a message. But other fans pinpoint a different reason they think Kody was removing trees. According to Brown’s book Becoming Sister Wives Kody had a logging job for a short time. Maybe this bit of experience and 3 wives leaving pushed him into the money-making direction like chopping down trees.

Real Reason Kody Brown Is Chopping Down Trees

Although Kody Brown has talked about how much more valuable “wooded areas” on Coyote Pass are, he still chops trees like a maniac. On Reddit, Sister Wives fans discuss Robyn and Kody cutting down trees and the motive for doing so. First, a user says, “Kody & Robyn are thieves they do it with a straight face.” Then, they add, “Oh Kody is cutting down trees making big money replacing the OG3 money they lost. He and Robyn are straight-up thieves…” Since Meri, Janelle, and Christine Brown have moved on, their TLC show money has too. Someone speculates they are turning a profit from selling the trees.

  • However, another viewer clarifies it was on Robyn’s old mansion property. They add, “This is on their own property (not Coyote Pass) and it was because the trees were obstructing their view from their house. You can see that when they stand back at the end of the day.”

Kody Brown Show What Not To Do

Although Kody Brown wasn’t on Coyote Pass, fans still think the scene was absurd. Whether he was turning a profit or just appeasing Robyn by clearing the deck view, people think he was acting dumb with the equipment.

  • In another Reddit, fans mention how strange the scene was altogether. “What a manic idiot running around cutting down the tree. And Robyn showing Kody’s true nature telling him that he can only cut down one tree at a time and clean it up so 6months later it’s not still laying there. Like the broken deck pictures in the real estate photos, we can see he doesn’t take care of things.”
  • “What an idiotic scene. In fact, this entire ‘tree cutting’ segment. Just stupid.”
  • “What he did was hella dangerous. Pounding a wedge into a tree with a running chain saw that is stuck? He’s a lunatic.”
  • “If that chainsaw had flown back at him, he’d be lucky if it hadn’t killed him. I think that’s why he was shaken, he realized how close he came to disaster.”
  • “That was pretty horrifying. TLC really should have posted a ‘never ever do this’ message on the screen.”

Too Much Work

But other Sister Wives fans discuss the idea of Kody Brown selling the trees.

  • Someone else points out Kody might not be smart enough to make money off the trees. “He is what my family calls an incompetent man child….he wants to be a grown-up but lacks the skills to actually adult. So he likes to cut down trees but he doesn’t know what to do after he cuts them down. What an idiot. Does he not know there are people who buy those big old trees to make lumber…we have ten acres and about eight is trees and when we need to clear a few out, we have a guy who does it and he buys the trees. It’s economics…pay them and sell them the trees and you make money.”
  • But another fan thinks Kody “eventually” gets around to selling, “I think he does sell them after he peels them.”
  • Notably, another user says, “Burls are hugely valuable. If you do sell them, make sure you get a good price.”
