.Those Perries look good I know a guy who has them . They do take a little remembering , like when you have a #2 nature call .......have to get everything re adjusted when completed :hmm3grin2orange:.......I will sometimes sew buttond on pants .They gouge ya alot less ..
.Ya Joe . what do you think about keeping a Big revolver with your fallers pack .. Do you Like Rain ??????? Are you married .. If not what do you think about no chicks being around ??? Devils Club ???? And lastly but most important , BRUSH .. Can you get around in Brush ... I mean head high huckle and blue berry brush with devils club and salmon berry thrown in , and rain .........No , it would be great having you up here .. But I'm deadly serious about the big pistol ....
I like big revolvers. I have always wanted a Ruger Bisley custom set up with a 5 shot cylinder in .45 long colt with magnum pressures. With all the rain stainless steel would probably be the way to go.
Rain makes the trees grow!
No wife......... I am 39 now so I can stand no chicks for periods of time without as much difficulty as when I was younger. Actually in the military there where a few times when I didn't even see a female for weeks or even a couple of months at a time. I wont claim I like it but it does make working seem a lot more effecient.
Never even seen Devils Club but I have heard it sucks.
Brush I don't like but have delt with. I was working on the same Mountian with some Colombia fallers who had worked on Dall Island. The where cussing it and it was not the worst I had worked in. Some jobs where so bad that the trees would not hit the ground. I would cut a trail to a tree then cut it towards the next, then climb up the brush walk out the tree then throw my ax and saw down and climb down and work my way to the next. I resorted to laying on my belly and worming through for a little while but got to thinking about coming across a rattle snake or getting on top of a meat bee nest. The place was infested with both. So I went back to cutting a trail.
On that job I was getting $12 per dead and dieing tree and I could only leave one per acre and they where widely scattered over steep and brush clogged mountian. My worst day I got low thirty something and my best I got fifty.
It was manzinita brush up to twenty feet tall, it is very stiff and brittle and full of sharp breaks that stab and cut. And mountain mahogany and buck brush, very wirey and full of sharp thorns.
It was so thick that usually you had to climb up or find a clearing just to locate the next tree.
It was on that job that I got bit by the Alaska bug. The other faller on that job had worked in Alaska for about 20 years and the stories he told got me wanting to go.
Then hangin with the Colombia fallers some got me wantin to more. They gave me a little crap, but also gave me the number for the guy that was hiring their fallers, but with the industry slowing down he was just trying to keep the ones he had working.
Enough rambling. I just want to get up there and see the country and cut some good timber. And shoot some big bears and catch some big salmon and halibut.
That is the worst hands down. If you don't know what gorst is it looks somewhat like a scotchbroom. In the place of any kind of leaves it has very long sharp thorns. An introduced specie, curses on the person that imported it.
