Oldirty North American Tour 08

[Burvol]

Old Dirty, I spent quite a bit if not the whole summer of 06' in the Bush in Griz country, you'll be fine...unless there is little or no fish. I would go 12 gauge
3" mag slug, buckshot, slug, etc, and a good .44. Both of these weapons can be carried on your person while out and about with little hassle. I got chased by a Grizzly in a river, I was in a raft floating by him...Kinda hard to turn around or stop in that current!

 

[ropensaddle]

True! true!, but old dirty is right about the blk bears being unpredictable the 600lb blk bear I got in british columbia was eating another 150lb blk bear when I shot it. No rules just instinct they have.

Which is why I said fight, if he and it is the boar not the sow
that is the worst no matter what you have heard, because
if he makes eye contact with you and starts to charge he is
meaning to have you for supper. The sow will most time bluff
charge pop her teeth etc, she just wants you to leave her be
as most do. I have seen around fifteen bears here in Ar and
jumped close to that many on my way to stand in darkness.
I always tell my buddies if I don't show up a week or two have
them check the scat. I have only been super nervous one twice,
once a huge boar 600 to 700 lbs was running my way. I knocked
an arrow and yelled and shook my bow and he finally saw me
and turned off and stopped and huffed two or three times.
He was spooked by another hunter and ran and I was in his path.
Another time, it was dark on my way out and had one huffing and
popping teeth right where I had to go, this went on for quite some
time and stunk! I hollered and picked up a big stick and slammed
it against trees and slowly proceeded only to hear it again and
again. I finally just started walking and yelling toward it and I
heard brush crashing as it ran off!

That sucks, New guy? I hope.

 

[oldirty]

no he's been around. he's got his moments though. hustles like a mofo though so i cant be too pissed, just not gonna do much roping with him any more.

So he got you twice? Let me ask if you saw it coming? I can usualy tell when the guys need a break. But I am also always ready to run, jump or hold the hell on.

yup, he got me twice. i did see the second one coming, thats why i was doing my best to get away but he never let it get below me so it chased me around the tree and got me.



on our way to Seward tonight for a bunch of cottonwoods tomw and into saturday. nothing like a 2 and a half hour ride in the work truck. might stay sunday and do some fishing or check out the kenia. not sure, we'll see.

We, who talk as though we are The Almighty, are only at the mercy of how much thought and energy the rope guy uses.
Don't get me wrong, its alot of work... but it still needs to be done right.
I took Jamie, "my guy", along to the last few big takedowns I did as a sub. I can work with low end people but when you got trees that you don't want to #### around with I NEED a very quick and thoughtful rope man.
I was kinda of pissy with the guys today but I can give you their names and addresses and you can ask them" Who do you love?" They will say" Treemandan!"
I told them today that you make a leap to professional when your lunch HOUR is paid, ours was. hell I actually came out of one tree to take a break, went back up and finished it . Had my saddle and spurs off, boss shows up right then- We were sitting around a 80% down tree all he said was, well he didn't really say much at all and not in a bad way either.
Anytime a boss rips into a groundy for something stupid I take the groundy's side. Anytime a groundy hits me twice in the same week I bounce a beener of his head whether he has his hat on or not.
I busted a move today that saved their asses from dragging that crap out of the pool area. Swung the whole tree down right by the chipper; its the least they could do to look up and figure how many wraps they need.
We have to search the world for a guy to help out Ropes.

 

[ropensaddle]

The best rope men are older experienced climbers, they know exactly
what is needed and expected on the ground. A great ropeman is in
charge of ground work while I am aloft and when I get down we
are a team. I have a sub friend that climbs with me on the bad ones,
he is as good as me but 12 years younger. I am his ropetician and
he is mine as breaks are sometimes needed in the tricky trees.
I have been balls to the wall before but it causes mistakes and
a steady planned out approach is best. Balls to the wall is when
it is down and we are getting it up but even then, don't let me
catch you dragging the brush through flowers etc. It is the little
things that impress customers, blowing the roof and you are there,
so; blow the gutter it wont hurt too bad! Don't leave that cigarette
butt laying there use your noggin, I always have to tell them.

Enjoy those Cottonwoods OD. They smell like fresh Copenhagen.

I just got in from removing dying 36"er. I had my friend Chaz climb it to put a rope in it since he is just starting out. It was a rough climb with all the bark falling off and the soft spots. He got the rope up there and I let him use my figure 8 to rappel down the line. I cut it and he pulled it over with the truck. We had to clean it all up, it took just over 3 hours.

Aside from the smell, cottonwoods suck.
