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.
 
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?
 
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.
 
Greaser, hope to see you next year, we would all like to here some logging stories from your past. After hazard tree removal at the gtg we all sit around the campfire and share knowledge and tell stories, sure you'd fit right in. We are a fun eclectic group of tree people.
