Up on the Delta/Hirz Fires that we’re on I-5 doing medical out on the Hazard Falling and Repair areas.
Would be fun, just depends on Fires

can we get a head count? its doesn't have to be exact and of course anyone can join last minute. I just want a ball park for food amounts, I will over estimate. 2dogs, can you do your usual tailgate safety stuff again this year? would you please add safe practices around chippers? ppe specific to chippers? I will have a chipper rented for the weekend and the new boss asked for a thorough tailgate emphasizing the dangers of chipper use.
I'm looking forward to it. It will be nice to be able to rub against a tree without getting turning charcoal black.

Yup, ive been felling burnt pines out at a friends property in franz vally little by little. My chaps not orange anymore. Need new air filters on most my saws now. It seems that charred bark dulls chain quickly too, am i right charlie?
Yeah, tho I often manage to find a rock before the charred bark can do its worst. Good thing I try to have at least 3 spare chains with me.

Tyler,
That is a big Manzanita ! _ _ _ and the area of northwest Redding that got scorched by the Carr Fire looked like what you are climbing in.
There was no stopping the advance of the intense heat of that 20-foot tall Manzanita. Probably scared the Firefighters, because the engines looked pretty insignificant compared to the 100-foot (or higher) wall of flame.
Randy,
This years supply of firewood came from a burn. i'm now black. Last year, the wife and I burned bark the first month of the burn-season.
Earlier this year I went out to make a cut through a fork of a large round laying on the ground. I knocked off the duff and dirt, and Boom _ _ _ first tag with the saw was major sparks !! just under a pitch ball was an embedded Rock. Never fails, right out of the starting-gate too. _ _ where is that spare chain ?
I won't be making the Gathering, but just may have to set aside for next year.

Okay, it really and truly sucks, worse when it rains.
Yeah, I'd forgotton about the rain. Black slime, falling down a lot, and boots that never quite dried out.
Not this year but if things keep going the way they have been I should make it next year. Give everybody my best.
I should arrive around noon on Friday.
