For some reason I had this urge to write a bit so put up a reply in the Stewardship under New Wilderness area in NE Washington (I think). Somebody was saying that as far as he was concerned, if loggers, miners, ski areas, and developers were put out of work, it would be a good thing. So, I wrote an essay about newcomers to our state. I used a crude example and my mom would be shocked...don't tell her.

Most of the people in that forum are not from here, but are immigrants. The annoying guy is from the east coast.

Very few, who are natives of here, are complimentary. I believe I am on a lot of IGNORE lists, have been labeled (oh the horrors) a brown and accused of wanting to destroy the earth. Oh well.

Meanwhile, they decry the state that the forest roads are in and complain about trees across the trails. They don't want to see any logging, even where it is on private ground, because it wrecks their view.

They want wolves to return to our areas, but if you talk about sending a pack to live in Seattle, they get all huffy...they are metrosexuals. EEEEK.

Hey slowp! We've got extra wolves if you guys are hankering for some. . . We never wanted them anyway. One of my cousins friends was run off his elk kill by a pack this year. He shot one, and the rest of the pack followed them in their retreat.

Lest the Greenies forget, wolves are super cuddly and soft -- just like on the cartoons. :dizzy:

I love the sound of those old 2100's when they are Idling. I wish I would have hung on to mine...It was my backup when I was 18...backup for a 288, and I would dread my saw breaking down when I was cutting in a #### patch! Which was quite often because I was "the kid".

That video is a great example of why you carry a falling axe to the woods and not a sissy hammer!

I was not too impressed with his axe...especially for being in that big a wood!

Here is what I carry...6 pound council with 36" handle:

You can move some wedges in some big wood with one of those...they really move in smaller timber :)
