The Real Truth

Oh and add a clinometer to that list.

 

As far as I know the only foresters on the forum are me and Hokie?

 

Isn't that a lady parts doctor?

 

Hehe

 

Were not allowed to wear those suspenders only "real loggers" get that privelidge.

And if your a faller you get to wear the little shoulder pillow thing to rest your saw on when walking.

And if your a southern logger and you wear those suspenders you will get laughed at and never hear the end of it!

 

I do.

 

Foresters

Dang auto correct putting in random stuff?

#130!!!

 

I had some time earlier and I almost typed up a start. But then realized I had no pics. But I guess I could of give a brief synopsis of what we do. The field is wildly varied. Have foresters that work for banks that sit behind a computer and manage money for timber tracts and we have guys that work in the woods in all aspects of the field.

 

I'm a forester too, but I'm new around here, so I wouldn't expect folks to know.
I'd bet there are a few more of us lurking around, though.

 

Unless twin dad or Hokie beat me too it I will try and get a post out about it in the next day or two.

Twindad and hokie94 feel free to start a post or join in on the one I start.

 

I remember bigbarf48 told me he was either enrolled or going to be enrolled in Athens to major in forestry. So we have another coming up through the ranks.

Twindad where did you go to school. I will assume where hokie went

 

Wow! A saw porting thread has transformed into a forestry forum. If you will get it started Clemson I'm sure we can come up with some pics.

 

Yep check your address bar and make sure your not on the forestryforum.com

 

YEP. Gone to me!

Ive had 27 saws ported by Randy. There is no end for me in sight. No I dont use them every day. No I will never wear one of them out. Who cares? Folks feel it's a waste, but if I have the money and want to spend it that way.... that is my business.
I can't for the life of me, understand why someone would waste their money on cigarettes or alcohol? Hell, at a pack a day... a person could have 6 saws ported in a year. Id rather spend my "play" money on saws, then on something that is going to shorten my life. But to each their own.

 

I agree brian I dont drink or smoke. That cash is redirected

 

had an Aunt die at age 47 of "liver poisoning" (drank every day). All of my Uncle's on my Mom's side are "functioning alcoholics" that drink daily. My deceased FIL drank, my BIL drinks alot. I chose years ago, that there would be no alcohol allowed in my home bc Kari used to have to get between her Mom and Dad when he drank, (My MIL doesnt), and bc of the inherited propensity in my family to drink. As far as smoking goes, not going to pay and give something the "power to kill" me. You pay financially and w/ your life in the long run. Your "remaining" family really pays the ultimate price however in "their loss of you."
