    All Dr Dendros - Cottonwoods in CO

    they say they are native cottonwoods, my guess is they are a deltoides variety. they were nursery grown, B&B i agree, about using bigger trees, but thats what was selected and im curious if they maybe just need some additonal fert from growing up in the plush nursery setting (dont get me...

    All Dr Dendros - Cottonwoods in CO

    Wondering if we cant put our heads together on determining the issues with some cottonwoods (3"Dia) that were planted ( in a riparian zone in the front range of CO in close proximity to large cottonwoods) this spring. they are in a natural area and have drywater tubes. -- decline is present...

    Driptorch fuel mix.

    i agree that its much less common that it used to be. it always seems to get away into the FS ground, gee, I wonder why that is, might have something to do with all the dead and down, but what do i know...:confused: funny, i see more deer and elk using the burned units than i ever thought...

    Driptorch fuel mix.

    there are some places that use broadcast units for site prep, as i have worked on sites in no. Idaho (mainly). however, it has been for industry in my experience. flaming helitorches rule:clap: i like the propane for piles, wet, dry, dirty, fresh, whatever. however, i cant say that its...

    Line Clearance worker attacked by drug crazed H.O.

    utility forestry can be difficult, thats for sure! we are providing a safe and reliable source of power for customers who should have listened when i said REMOVAL! thats my favorite word when discussing most trees with customers. I can be very persuasive at times :) obviously, we dont like to...

    Driptorch fuel mix.

    well, propane isnt ideal if your broadcast burning as im sure youll know, however, it is the preferred method for piles (IMO). I make, in a 5gal container, 3.5:1.5, reddye:gas

    per mile bid

    it would be similar to how the big guys bid electric and gas work. some areas you get hosed, others you make $$ it hopefully will pan out to your advantage in the end if you did it right. see if you cant talk to any line guys in your area, that may help you get an idea

    No More Logger's

    I dont disagree, but they cant really state that in the lawsuit! The ones I have experience with cited stream damage a good proportion of the time (whether it be an endangered fish or water quality...). This seems interesting seeing as how here in MT, harvesting projects in the state audit...

    No More Logger's

    This is a good thread! I have learned a ton from LOGGERS, and to add to that, enviros, scientists, professors, etc... A wise man once told me we should call clearcuts "George"! In reality its an appropriate silvicultural method for harvesting. I dont really think Im a logger, nor do...

    09 good time to start a business?

    I think it comes down to whats been mentioned already, working your ass off for not much right now. I think everyone got too greedy, thats why the whole economy is crap. Bankers, lenders, finance, dealers, everyone, including tree companys. I see all these people picking up brand new rigs...

    what equipment to buy?

    most of the newer jobs coming out in fuels redux/mitigation seem to be calling for non-conventional logging equip. depending on how much you wanna spend on a machine, you could get the supertrak, the best on the market (in my opinion). however, your looking at close to 200grand for something...
