Is it open to all? Is an invitation required?

You are invited. It is open to all but we like to know an approximate head count about a month early to plan. So rsvp in October or so.

This will probably be a good year for that…

That'll do nicely!

Stuck!

Stuck!

I know we ask this every year but is there any way to change to thread title to current year? The prep for this year might be a little more than years past. I hope the weather is suitable for our work I.e. no redflag warning. We have a significant number of standing dead and dying firs, most will likely be tagged by state forester for removal. Rigging equipment we have a little bit of. Bring what you can. Most trees tagged will have valuable targets. Anything you all won’t do, I won’t, we can contract climbers after the event for those extra sketch sticks. Safety first.

I might be able to get a climber to come. He was at our GTG at Bob’s.

Turns out yes, there have been software and policy changes that I am just now finding out about.

Bob95065, 11/11-11/14. I’ll work on getting campsites up the hill away from road noise. The horse stables will still be home base and anyone can camp down there too.

 

[Bob95065]

Thanks Tyler! It's on the calendar at home.

Will we get to see what we're whackin' or is it a surprise?

Too early to tell. State forester needs to assess trees in October and we will have the list of tagged trees then. I’ll find a couple tomorrow that I am sure will be on the list and try to get a good picture.

That guys a kook! But he does love him so fir murderin! Will climb for roached 084? Looks like Im in for the lock! I better finish my silvey jack rebuild by then. Ive got wedges, drivers, line launchers, a hobbs, some bullrope, and a ms661 jb torque build pulling a 47" .404. And a few others. Ill bring climbing and basic woodland fire gear, piss pump, mccloud, etc. I have a fair bit of experience dumping dead firs around facilities, power lines etc.

I'll buy Cody an Akimbo before then. Hoping you can teach him how to use it.

 

[madhatte]

About time you bring Cody to one of these things! He's been an honorary attendee long enough!
