    GRCS: some criticism by a non-owner

    Whats behind the Name

    One lick is a method of cutting fire line: You take one lick(with your pulaski), then you take one step, you take one lick, then you take one step. If 20 people in a crew do this, by the time everyone takes one lick, the line is done down to mineral soil. Real name's Bob.
