Be advised, you won't get kicked off but the site is full of easily offended, folks who live in the Seattle area.
Many feel the forests should be untouched, except by roads or trails.

Now, they've cheered as logging was shut down in the woods, but now are upset because the roads are not maintained and are being closed.

It's a difficult forum for me to deal with. I am labeled a brown conservative there. I wish I had the wit of Randymac.

Wastral enters the picture on the second page, I think.

Patty...post that video of me and the bear trap at Napa on NWH and let's see what kind of comments Wastral has. Might be interesting

I'm trying to register over there but I have to look up what the highest peak in Warshington is.:msp_confused:

Well, it isn't Shasta.:msp_smile: Mt Rainier will get you in.
 
Not Shasta? Dammit. Lassen didn't work either. Thanks for the tip. My first post is already up.

Those guys are sincere, but man are they boring. We need to send the brain trust of Thomas1, DSS and Jon2112 to help them lighten up a little. While we're at it, we could loan them Sledrat, Zombiechopper, and Moody. That would make them spew their mochafrappachino's all over their birkenstocks

slowp, what is a brown conservative? don't let them nuts get ya down.
 
I'm thinking I would get banned from that site rather quickly...

Its great that there are people that want to take care of the trails though... Been a long time since I was in the woods just to go hiking... many of the trails I remember where starting to look abandoned... last I knew most where unreachable until they finally opened up some of the MT loop and sauk suiatle roads... the trails can sometimes be hard to find now

They think I am against a nice environment, which I am not, because I live here. But most think that all logging is detrimental and a form of extraction--like mining. That's the brown part--they consider themselves to be green, yet drive a lot of miles using gas, to go for a walk. Go figure. The conservative part is self explanatory, cept on this forum, I'm considered to be an evil left winger--"west coast woman".:msp_scared: Hmmm, perhaps that would be good to have above the avatar. I am a West Coast Woman!
There seems to be no middle ground anywhere...enough of politics.

I don't think you would. While the posters would probably be asking for you to be banned, you have to be pretty bad to get banned. I think the only one that I know who got banned was in trouble for posting that a moderator was having marriage problems. Give it a go and see. They'd probably really like having somebody who is close to the Suiattle area. Unlike me, you live in their playground.

why can't they understand that wood is THE renewable resource. people that want to live "green" sure don't know much.

I think that is part of what bugs me about most of em... they generally live in Bothel Seattle, or Bellevue... all drive up on the weekends and break out there $400. "hiking pants" and rei hiking boots... Then have the gall to look down on me and mine in our jeans and work boots, meanwhile at one time me and mine where the ones keeping the trails open... just bothers me... So much traffic out here on the weekends and its all day tripping hikers...

Not like it used to be 10-15 years ago when I would hike a different trail every other day all summer and never run into more then 3 people a week. I'll stop ranting no good at hiking since I got hurt anyway... at least someone is playing in the woods still.
 
Anybody who is that certain about a situation full of inherent uncertainty is probably wrong. I was moving small blowdown with a tractor once. The #### hit the fan so fast I couldn't believe it. Smashed the hood, but could have easily been me. Anybody who has shot a recurve bow has respect for the amount of power which can be stored in even small wood

How do you think my kids got here? LOL. :msp_unsure:
 
That, uh. Errr. That's an awfully "green" place to visit, isn't it? I didn't realize there were structured groups that do trail cleaning. We just usually get some guys together and get to it. Pretty cool to see that there are dedicated volunteers who do this.

It's a pretty neat place though.



Owl.
 
As far as chicks go- slowp- You r kool.:rock: But that's not that far under certain variances!!!!L.O.L. All those posts or not, :msp_tongue:
 
Pine, open up a face with a block on say a 32" top bound.face less than half diameter, and didn't close up more than 3 kerfs,(like its not under that much tension..) touch the other side, I mean rub it with your pocket knife and POW! I get a kick out of stuff like that. Clean break too.

Trivia. Which does pine like better?
spanning a draw or centering a hump?

Hint, Fir is the opposite...
 
Busy, yea. Also I was tired of giving Verizon so much $$ for the 4g. I have WiFi now but I have to be plastered to a window doe it to work. Typing on a phone is terrible as my spelling shows.
