[bitzer]

It sounded like a bunch of yankee blather.

Don't worry, cool cat.

 

[Gologit]

Rabble. Good choice of words.

Lol. Know what would really kink the GOL followers hose? Presenting them with a big old monster OG tree. the face cut would start 30 feet in the air.

 

[bitzer]

Way down yonder in the land of cotton.......

 

[RVALUE]

I sense some air of mockery here... I don't understand the funny part of this. A Swedish Sören comes to your place telling you that through all these years you have felled a lot of timber on the wrong way.

Am I missing something?

You know in Europe they 'fall' from the other side of the tree.

In sum for you Gumps out in NeverLand: there is no one way. Repeat: there is no one way to do anything. Logging, life, combat, sex,......Get it ?:bang::bang:

That is exactly the problem we have with GOL out here in NeverLand. They are the ones preaching that their way is the only safe way to fell a tree, and that it will guarantee your tree falls correctly every time.

We are all about sharing information/opinions on new techniques. But when a group of people (GOL) keeps saying there way is the only way, we have a problem.

Especially when GOL has some serious flaws in the way they teach. Anyone who tells you that a boring back-cut is needed on every tree to be safe is an idiot, plain and simple.

The boring back-cut is a great tool for the right situation, just not every situation. And yes we use the boring back-cut out here in NeverLand, just not on every tree.

... They are the ones preaching that their way is the only safe way to fell a tree, and that it will guarantee your tree falls correctly every time.

Yup. It would be great if they were right. But they're not. And never will be.

 

[056kid]

I just think it is funny that people wanna argue technique with folks that cut the biggest, most valuable timber in the world.

Umm yea, chances are they know exactly what they are doing, and they probably don't need tricks for falling 18" pines. . .

18" pines? That's not logging. That's...I don't know...gardening maybe?

Hey! Easy now. I prefer being called a "thinning contractor".
We were de-motet from logging around here a long time ago.

[slowp]

Ahh, nobody has informed us whether they got a $325 hat or if they had to pay extra for said hat.

Inquiring minds wish to know. Or am I enquiring? Where is an English Major when you need one?

 

[bitzer]

Ok so could this be considered a coon's ####? Its a Cedar. Where the hell is Burvol when you need him?

Uh oh. Does this mean my New Mexico passport is no longer valid?

Hey Andy...you're excluded from the "gardening" description. Now can I come back?

 

[Gologit]

Probably working at Burger King with the rest of his graduating class.

Ok, I guess you can come back. I'd rather be called a has been, or even a never was than a gardener.
The State Forestry told us that they wanted us to quit calling ourselves "damned old loggers" and start calling ourselves "forest restoration experts". Seems the yuppies like that better. In my opinion an expert is someone who thinks they know everything, and can't be taught anything.
As far as your passport.............They're getting pretty strict on anyone trying to get south of the Colorado border, but if you'll let me know when you're coming I think I can sneak you in.

Don't tell that to the arborist forum! I got involved in a thread a day or so ago. about sums it up. .

 

[logbutcher]

The Tinklebells are attacking the straw dog with those straws again.

Ah yes, "that's the only way". Old dogs, old tricks = one way.

Fine and dandy. Do not confuse me with facts. :hmm3grin2orange:

....and to all a good night.

 

[056kid]

You know, when you sound like a moron on paper, you are likely a moron in real life. .

 

[ChrisF]

Called "setting up Straw Dogs".

Oh man, not this again...
