Ive got a brand new husky 372 xp, Sthil ms440, 141 and a 136 the 141 . The 136 I climbed with a couple years but it lacks power IVe dropped it for the 141.

I figure a cooler, lantern, plenty of gas,oil, chains, bars.
Ive thought of a tent also and will probably bring one.

Along with Insurance cerification, ISA membership card, invoice-got to give the customer a reciept with name address on it.

Some insurance work may take months to pay. Im fine with that no problems there.


Maybe start about Cape Canaveral and just head on south.

Check in with tree compaines here and there for crane work when I get tired of the people crying on my shoulder about the tree on their house.

Being a 1 man operation it's tuff. Would help to team up.

Hey Rocky, let me know whats going on with you guys when this thing finally blows past, I am not sure if I can get out there in the next 7 days, but if you guys can make an assesment and need the extra man power give me a call. I can bring all my gear saws and a groundie. I might even be able to bring in a few extra saws from colorado, knowing how short in supply they are gonna be out there. Just give me the word and we will be there in 48 hrs.

[treeslayer]

well, I'm running around like crazy finishing up some jobs to make trip money.
Looks like we are headed to Jacksonville as a starting point, meet up with greg and decide on a plan. its only 12 hours from leesburg, va. we want plan the trip so we are rolling into fla @ around 2-3 a.m. to beat as much traffic as possible.

all those evacuees are gonna clog the roads for sure. plus the bucket truck convoys.

 

[Dadatwins]

Stay safe all those that are in it or heading to that mess and working in it. They call storm work 'Blood Money' hopefully it will not be any of yours. Good luck.

Just a precautionary thought.

Went out around noon to have a look around. Most stores are closed today. A few convenience stores open, but they're pretty much sold out of basic essentials, including gasoline. Winds now are gusting around 30-40 mph. Some rain, not much yet. The worst is still to come later.

Widespread anticipated power outages will mean no fuel available at most stations. They're telling us, "when the poer goes out, it will stay out for a while." Utilities have pulled crews off the roads until this thing passes.

Hey guys, had to take the family camping this weekend, so I could leave for a couple of weeks. I go into the fire station today to try and get my vaction moved to now. I've got 4 guys committed to coming with me. We'll be leaving tuesday afternoon. 9 hours from pensecola. We'll be self contained, don't need hotels or electricity. Any suggestions where to go first. Don't want to spend the whole weed driving. Plans are to stay until the 20th.

Stay safe and good luck
