    DAMN! Oh well, I tried. [laf] Had to throw it out there to see all the spray develop though.....

    AAAHHH, I won't come up there and buy up your land if I'm not supposed to. (although I would love to cuz it is gorgeous up there) I really wouldn't make too much of an impact, just a small homemade cabin near a lake in a prime hunting area where you can only fly or hike into.....oh yah, with plenty of granite boulders around too [Wink] ....

     

    I could become a resident if you marry me though, so how about it? [big Grin] No obligations necessary, you'll never have to see me again-heehee....

Plus, in a lot of dry forests, just letting fires burn in their current fuel-heavy state is not an option that will lead to what most people consider a healthy forest (because they will burn up completely, whereas historically they only had low-severity underburns

    I agree wholeheartedly with what you say. Sometimes I am quick to judge those making the final decisions. I do feel sorry for the poor bastards cuz they do get sued for practically anything these days. I think that the public (uneducated public) has somewhat of a stranglehold on what the FS does and doesn't do and I truly believe that that might be where shit is fucked up. They cater to what the public wants (very conflicting at times), whether it be right or not. After all it is our tax dollars that pay them to make those decisions (so they all say) but none of us can agree. We can't please everyone, someone will lose while another will benefit...maybe there are too many of us humans running around......

     

    We all want what's best to keep the forests healthy and still be able to utilize it. Playing God with this planet is a tough job...maybe we do need another vision!

    Misplaced???? Accounting Mishap? Why doesn't that even surprise me? Someone elses petty mistake in the office ends up a disasterous turn of events for the people on the ground....early lay offs I presume. What's new? Forest Circus....don't get me started. Granted fighting fire is good money and the life style is great, I appreciate that I can work in the woods but I am getting so disallusioned with it because of all the politics. I am even feeling (has been coming on for years) that fire suppression is wrong in a lot of cases and now I feel I am working for something I don't even believe in. It has made me so jaded to the point of throwing up my hands and walking away. They should be spending money on education of defensable space for home owners in the urban interface and acceptance that fire is beautiful and a good thing. LET IT BURN! If you decide to build your house in the woods, you assume the risk. Mr. Fire Insurance had a good invention...

     

    WE don't have to extinguish fires and put lives at risk for the sake of something as stupid as merchantable timber but rather corral it around and defend those communities that live in the woods. Mother nature can't be reckoned with....we are at her mercy and the hills will burn up whether we are there or not. We really don't have any real influence...can you say weather, fuels, topography? That is what controls fire, not helicopters dumping 50 gallons at $1,500 pop on a 400,000 acre fire! Fires die down when moisture develops, winds change, or the fuels become lighter but the FEDS like to take all the credit. I suppose political bullshit happens in every line of work but man, the FS takes the cake. It would make your head spin if I were to tell you some of the shit they spend, or shall I say waste, money on. O.K I will get off my soapbox now. I hope this is my last year doin this shit though.....
