Where the Wild Things Are
Yes, I'm an environmentalist. I'm a country boy and I don't like concrete and steel and asphalt and foul air. I burn wood to avoid using fossil fuels, to save money and because I like it. Wood smoke is not stink - I like the smell - and my stoves don't smoke much. The small amount of fuel I use in the chainsaws lets me avoid using many many gallons of heating oil.this is about like the wally world bar oil thread...if your concerned about the stink...why do u cut wood...if your an environmentalist....why cut wood? Are u a tree cuttin hippie or what folks? if u burn wood your whole house will stink..its part of it. Now quit bein sissies!!! Now we're worried about bar oil stinkin too much...and the saw stinkin too much....thats a disgrace to real men everywhere...some of you guys are ate up with it...i tell ya!!
I figured the real man/sissy/tough guy thing would come up eventually. All my life there have been plenty of guys who were tougher "real-men" than scrawny ol' me. At 48 few of them can keep up with me if they even had any desire to do any physical work. I've seen what happens when injury or illness hits someone that was in apparently good health; how quickly they get laid low and what happens to their families trying to pay the bills. So I won't breathe any more of the junk than I have to, but you're welcome to.
I guess that makes me a sissy environmentalist who can swing axes and mauls all day and runs muffler modded chainsaws. Whatever.
