I almost got the wifey to climb a tree yesterday... had her all geared up and everything... but she gots week knees and couldn't get very far... no fear or nuthin just not enough strength...

Perhaps one day we can con ole Jon into something silly like that...

If he doesn't have the strength to start his own saws and needs help from the wife, how is he gonna pull his ass up into a tree?

Groundies. He has kids. But can't you just see it? They get him up in the tree, dangling from the line with no tie in yet and it's "Hey Dad, about that raise in our allowance"....

I would definitely be a ladder climber

I was reading a short article concerning the 9th circuit court reinstating the roadless rule in the tongass. Does this put a heavy thumb on logging up there? Or can heli sides keep on as normal?

Do most Timber sales require new road to be built, or is there second growth harvesting?

Hard for me to even read this . Let alone reply without exploding. froUnfortunately the way things are going everything will just get locked up ! Too many people that dont have anything better to do than bother loggers , mill men and exporters. And too much money coming in to law makers

 

[tramp bushler]

from liberals and dinks and yummies ect.ect. Too many lawyers. And liberal judges.

The 2 nd growth isnt the high value timber that the opd growth is. And its just getting big enough to be worthwhile to log. of course its all mech wood.

[1270d]

I have at least one relative cutting there now. Tramp does the heli ground still get worked or is that off limits too since you still need a sort yard etc?

Whew! I'm a yummy, and I was worried about being on TB's bad side!

 

[tramp bushler]

Log er clean , pave er flat.

 

[tramp bushler]

tell the truth , Im so disgusted with the current timber industry in Southeast that I dont pay much attention to how they are logging there. As all the loggin roads in s.e. are made from shot rock . its expensive to build a mile of road. They have been helicopter loggin in SE for decades , so I dont kmow what they still have to get

 

[tramp bushler]

Last thing I knew, Admiralty Is . is still locked up. There is some helicopter wood on Chichagof , but, someone has to have a sorting yard running.

Today is St Lawrence's day. In my country they say that Larry, he pisses on the leaves. That's why they start turning yellow from now on.

 

[tramp bushler]

most all our Fireweed is done for the year and plenty of leaves are starting to turn yellow. I think winter will be here early and HARD . I think we'll see plenty of 40 below in November this year.
