Call me old fashion. . . But I just push the little button thing with my finger, and paint comes out. :dunno:

A paint gun gets more distance, so you don't have to get up so close, and you don't inhale the paint spray so much. It also causes paint gun envy from the poor chaser, who has to brand and paint the log ends.

I'm'ah invent one that work from 25' away like bee spray.

You should have been there to see the nurses face! :hmm3grin2orange:

Hey, I just realized Jameson hasn't posted in a while? . . Wonder what's up? :msp_confused:

 

[redprospector]

Don't know.

With a favorable wind, and elevation, a Treecoder could put a bit on a tree from a long distance. That is a good thing when you are wading through fell and buck to paint a tree.

Seriously, what needs to be invented is a log end branding painting combination that can be poked into the loads on log trucks to get them all done. Don't know why, but so many outfits here wait til the logs are on the trucks to paint and brand.

Oh, and because it would be handled by loggers, it needs to be unbreakable and simple. :msp_smile:

paint balls might work. nail a lott of trees from one spot.

He was kidnapped by Pearl divers. He's living in Saipan, tending Oyster beds.

Check the Nelson website... they sell paintball guns.

Also, I'll be pre-marking a unit that way this next spring, if all goes well. I'll let you know how that works.

THEY would not let us get paintball guns. THEY figured (and were probably correct) that we would also be painting chipmonks, deer, cows, rocks, and each other if we had the paintball guns.

I would imagine it would take a week long training session to learn the proper use of such things, if THEY ever allowed the guns to be used.

I saw him in Texas in July. He was hammering hard on the school thing and plans on finishing but I think he still wants to go logging.

Good kid, If I had enough work to keep him busy I'd hire him.

He wishes! :hmm3grin2orange:

That might be true but if it's designed to be used by foresters it won't work early in the morning, late in the afternoon, if the wind is blowing, or in the rain. It will probably want a new pickup to haul it around, too.

Pffffffft. :msp_rolleyes:

The new black nozzles took care of the clogging issue, and the dual check valve setup keeps it primed. I could probably be convinced to bring one of each to a to-be-determined duelling place to prove once and for all that the Nelson is the One True Paint gun!

This midwestern plow jockey would very much like to see video of an honest to god wild west shootout!

I feel the same way. He'd probably grow weary of cutting the pecker poles we have to though.

Knowing those two it just might become a regular event at the GTGs. For the sake of us innocent spectators I hope they use water base paint.

 

[slowp]

But I do not own a paint gun. I had to turn in my faithful Treecoder. :msp_sad:
