Thanks Jerry Have another trip planned for this week.....a truly magnificent forest of giant spruce, cedar and hemlock. Weaving it over and through tree canopies is somewhat unnerving....but worth it when you get the end result.

Sub Contract work was my thimg at the time....so you head for the places with the most companies. I wanted to be as far west as possible, so it seemed like the right destination. No mistaking it's a beautiful place to live, but theres also a superficial, pretentious arrogance to it also....like...

Thanks. I flew it towards the tree and left it there hovering. Then ran like frig to catch up and bring it down before it ran out if battery....which is why theres a slight break in the footage before it decends. Gary's actually a hunting guy, he told me....which is his main connection to the...

Not picking and choosing mate....thats just typical of the news here. I can pick alot more of the same bullshit too if you want. Maybe youre onto something with the Victoria thing, though They are all for maintaining an image and keeping up appearances for the hundreds of thousands of cruise...

The areas surrounding the Big Douglas fir is Crown land, public land without being an actual Park. But a logging company can manage/harvest the forested areas with a tree farm licence. There are provincial parks scattered around that area too, but mainly they are directly adjoining the coast. Im...

Here's some examples of what I mean about telling the people the truth. Take Chek News, which is a local news mainly but who do also feature National and Global stories too. A few months back there was several incidents of people (including kids) being pricked by used needles downtown. One such...

I cant say I feel any kind of National pride, no attachment....part of the reason I have no issue moving countries. But I'm glad I grew up where I did, because they mostly told us the truth, good and bad. The bad stuff was never hidden or silver lined. Whilst here in Canada it seems quite the...

Justin, question for you. I dont know if theres a definite answer that you can offer, and if not no worries, but here goes. What is it to be a Canadian ? What do stand for. What do you value. Youve just summerized that money is much more important than the land you live on and the air you and...

Thanks Burnham. For some reason i thought replanting had to be undertaken within 2 years. I read it somewhere but cant now find the document. But thats either way off, or simply being ignored.....because theres whole hilsides of 10-15 year old cuts, which has neither been replanted nor...

We're not in control of mother nature, Mario. But we are in control of the chainsaws, yarders, and helicopters....and above all else, our minds and bodies. Those pics that your post, of the redwood groves etc.....same or similar areas that was in Jerrys most recent book. What would you say if...

Chill out Stig. I didnt attack you or anything :) I did read your previous posts, as well as factoring in you being a f_____g rec climber. With that said I still would rather avoid categorizing you or anyone else as being definitively on one side or another, like black or white, because more...

No Idea what your stance is mate. But we may differ in our opinion of what makes a weirdo, thats all

Its pethaps one of the most relevant topics between anyone whi has an interest in trees, if you ask me. I find it very difficult to muster the enthusiasm to speak of throwlines, pulleys and hitch chords these days. No winners or losers, just perspectives....which includes what you refer to as...

Sorry Justin, i need to head out the house mate

Quite a telling Insite into the ethics and motivation of McMillan Boedel, in their attempt and tactics to log Carmanah Walbran. Their argument that the area could be logged, simply because they were logging similar sized trees elsewhere in BC speaks volumes. You have download to open. Its...

theres 2 ways of looking at that Burnham. Is it not more egocentric of the current generation, at this moment in time, to assume the right to remove thousand year old live forrest, denying the next 10 generations of people and wildlife inhabitants to witness, appreciate or live off ?....and...

Im not dead against it Eric....so long as it proportionate, and sustainable. Unfortunately, not so much the case where that pic was taken. Huge areas of clearcuts, 10 maybe 20 years old. Looks like a bombs gone off. Nothings grown back, nor had been re planted. Just abandoned. You got to really...

Good one Eric. Glad to see its not sitting horizontal
