Jameson,
Just out of curiosity, did you go to Oklahoma State for Forestry? If so, what degree did you get there?
The reason I ask is because I am working towards a Forest Engineering/Civil Engineering degree and was wondering if you had gone through some similar curriculum that I will be...

Monkey Puzzle = hardship !! we get some big examples over here and in fact they grow far better outside of Chile in a damper climate, they only get to about 45' in Chile
Im still wading through some storm damage in between sun/showers/hot/cold weather we have at the moment just like you fella's that side of the Atlantic.

Are you going to OSU?

Flat & small
Can't get much flatter than this, can it? Clearcutting a field left alone for a few years. The wood will go into a chipper.

Almost like sitting behind the desk.

Oh man, what's that thing you have mounted your saw to? Looks awesome for work like that. Never seen anything like it, would love to see some pics of it.

Not right now. That is the plan though... I have already been accepted, but there are still more engineering and physics courses available to me at the junior college ($) so I won't be up there til the '12-'13 year.

Item No.: ATKKKM
Price: 265.00 EUR
Apuri® Felling Handle, tall model
is an auxiliary handle for chainsaws, which is intended for directed felling of energy timber, trimmed tall slender trees, and small trees.
It is not necessary to crouch or bend over to grab the saw when harvesting the energy wood. When sawing, the left hand is free to guide the falling tree or to hold it up for potential vertical transport.
An additional handle makes forest management tasks easier and more diverse:
● felling and use of chainsaw without having to bend over,
● two squats are avoided with every tree
● whole tree felling without pruning,
● controlled tree felling using the left hand for providing support.
Suitable also for clearing and sapling management, such as clearing along ditches, sapling trimming, and felling fibre trees.
Is secured to the saw using quick-release locking mechanisms, which allows installation and removal to be quick and easy.
Two models (tall model is 70mm taller):
● regular model for users that are less than 185 cm in height and
● tall model for users that are taller than 185 cm. If uncertain of which model to take, it is safer to select the regular model.
The felling handle has diverse adjustment options.
The unit fits most common chainsaw brands and models.
Tested by the Finnish Work Efficiency Institute.
If your saw is a Stihl MS 200, MS 192, or MS 260, be sure to also order the MS fitting (throttle lever).

That's good, get all your basic courses out of the way before transferring.
That's what I did. I got a tech degree in forestry then went and got a bachelors. It was a lot cheaper for me even being on the GI bill and the quality of instruction was light years better at the two year school. I will say I have heard a lot of good things about that school. Funny though cause now I sling rigging.

Haha it's funny because I feel like a lot of people that go to school for Forestry actually have a logging/woodproducts mindset. They would just as soon work for a logging outfit as they would the Forest Service etc... But having that degree gives you a little bit to fall back on if times get real tight and you end up getting squeezed out of a job.
At least that is my primary reason for going after the "Double Degree". Civil Engineering work seems to be fairly readily available around these parts. Plus the work is also outside (off and on). Not to mention one extra year of school for a second bachelors in engineering seems a pretty fair trade-off in my eyes.

Yeah, I quickly found that out. That and I thought it was crazy to be supervising a logging job having never logged. I look at forestry as my retirement plan now.
