Timber industry suffers as loggers blame federal regs for lost jobs | Fox News

Same old deal. You guys read about. We live it. Every day. Thanks for posting.

Ran across this today, figure more people need to see at least the first part. Note the bit where federal land butts against private land.

Now to figure a way to subvert vids like these into "green" forums...

Yupp same ole same ole. Been that way since the spotted owl. If they get anything done then it's great and may set a precedent but I'm not holding my breath. The thing the eco freaks are saying is that were going to go log old-growth. While there may be a few patches that would get logged that's not the case. They want to manage already harvested areas for continued timber production. So if you turn the argument around we've already screwed it up so there is no new damage to an ecosystem especially with following the forest practices.

I might post it in a semi-tree hugger place but in addition to the logging of all the remaining old growth, they will bring up that salvage logging is bad because it disturbs the soil, and logging such places is bad because the timber is sold at a low price and taxpayers are then subsidizing logging.

Love part 2 where the lightning flashes.

When I was on a marking crew, we were marking in an area where dead lodgpole was jackstrawed waist high all over. Our boss told us to get the heck out of there if we ever saw just a puff of smoke, because it would go up fast. That area burned a few years ago and was the Tripod Fire.

I do miss the lightning storms of WY and MT... very loud!

Not sure I could handle myself on a green forum, so go get em miss P. I know I'll spout off and say something stupid...

I simply put it with very few comments and none that would be controversial, here.

It is a hiking forum but I would say that the majority of folks are Seattlelites and anti-logging. Funny, a few are really griping about roads being decommissioned or not maintained. They call logging, extraction, which kind of riles me. Oh well.

I quit that website for a while. I got called some pretty bad names, and accused of being on welfare all my life. That member got kicked off.
He insisted that anybody who lived in a small town out of Pugettropolis was a welfare recipient because they subsidized the rest of the state.
The guy moved here from Massachusetts. :msp_sad:

Such is the mindset of some city folk.

might also interest some folks here, I did a CList search for logging, timber jobs... of course nothing came up for actual logging but there was about 120 ads for Greenpeace hiring people to boost membership, paid really well to, full benefits and I think there was a sign on bonus. Makes me wonder how many of these greenpeace idiots are paid to stand around picketing logging and such. I thought about calling em and getting paid by greenpeace to tell people the truth and still cut timber in my off time... of course they would try to run me over with a skidoo while protecting my endangered Sasquatch status:wink2:

we are encouraged to disturb the soil on some tracts to promote natural regeneration. not ruts but just a couple inches moved around. saplings seem to come up first in the skid roads.
