Yes they are. The Golden Spruce is the book.

Nice. Thanks for the reply. The Haida? Are they the people that the logger felled their sacred tree as a protest to logging? He then disappeared and remains of his canoe found but never a body. Pete Mctree lent me a book about it a few years back now.

Good question Rich. The coastal tribes here are mostly Tlingit and Haida and they have a long tradition of using both Western redceadar and Alaska yellow cedar for totem poles around their villages. Our local tribe here in Wrangell is in the process of re establishing and developing new master...

Thing is with Norway. You can go to work in the morning and it might be just undr freezing or just above. So you wear wool undergarments. Then by 12 it can be close to 15c and you sweating your whatsits off. Then a few days later you leave the wools at home and it doesn’t get up past 7c. I...

It sounds like it has been warmer in Norway than it has been here.

Esmeralda has decided she loves this one...

They found a dugout not that long ago in Madison Lake Mendota (I think) dated to 1200 years old.

Been back to the range a couple of times to do my practice shots and large game test ready for this season. Had a bad back recently so shooting prone has not been the easiest. Only allowed to use a sling but no rest or bipod allowed. 5 shots in the vitals at 100m and it’s a pass. Might head...

Sorry If I missed it. You mention totem trees and dugout canoe. I assume they are from the native tribes up there in Alaska? So getting back to the totem tree, is it just a generic term for a tree that would make a good totem pole or it it actually going to to a res or a tribe to be carved...

Here in Norway we have had it in the low 20c’s for a couple of weeks. Pretty nice working temps but it will get hotter.

I actually didn't find it but an engineering road location crew did. They relocated the the road to avoid it. Pretty cool... you can walk buy it and it looks like a rotten log, but a closer look reveals charcoal etc

A dugout canoe would be a sweet find!

Something that is historically interesting is that there is a culturally modified tree in that video we protected. Many years ago someone had chopped into a tree with an adze to check out the base. I've found many of these over the years, even an abandoned dug out canoe tree. At this site we...

The irony!

We shovel logged the last Totem tree today. All are stacked and ready for trucking on Monday.

I have one of those. When using on hard surfaces I tie a cord from the leg to a step and adjust with a taut line hitch. Back in the day, one of my guys was using one on flag stone and he went down like a ton of bricks when the leg slipped out. Miraculously he wasn't hurt tho the force generated...

the 10' Stokes that I have is an aluminum orchard ladder. Very handy. But yeah, not the best for tree access.

We had 86 here a couple weeks ago. It had been uncommonly cool up to then. Straight from the fridge to the oven.
