Probably this shit happens in planting camps all over because it happens in society all over but I got to say I never heard even a whisper of anything improper with regard to sexual misconduct in all my time. Like I said probably this shit was happening but they kept it reaaaal quiet. Probably as qu...

Hey There. I just logged in for fun after quite some time away. I'm long since retired but this crusty old low-baller still misses planting every spring. I'm working in the oil fields now, pays a bit better than trees but trades off on the smell a little. Here are some photos I thought I would share...

Lookz easier than the go-to I was taught.

240k up the Finlay, damn! We were ... 60 or 80k up that way, I forget exactly, for a couple weeks this summer. Even that felt as remote as being on the moon. Beautiful area with a weird undercurrent vibe to it ... I can't describe it precisely but it's the closest I've felt to an entire forest area...

Given what's happened recently with all the cuts to environmental programs, I wouldn't put it past him. I'm sure the mills would be glad, are any of them really thinking 40 years ahead anymore? I heard Stephen Harper eats babies and uses live rabbits for toilet paper. If we aren't careful he may pu...

4 seasons used, well worn Bushpro Bags purchased 2004. Buckles still work, chest buckle is cracked but managing... Back bag draw cover is almost gone.

I liked it but I expected (hoped?) something different.

I realize now that those web pages you posted were YOURS and have images of your operations so I guess no need for photobucket.

I still maintain that security would be an issue in the larger, shittier, cities.

Crack heads should not be under estimated!

kingjames_2nd

Please upload some images of your set up to a photobucket account so that we may see what an operation like this looks like. How do you deal with security? Do you have any crack heads stealing your cucumbers? I live in downtown Edmonton and can guarantee my veggies wouldn't make it to market if I gr...

I miss planting! I'm an office monkey now, in a suit. Yes it has its perks, but its just not the same. Tell me about the mud between yer fingers, the blisters, sun burns, animal sightings, camp fights, rumours, debauchery, break downs, near misses, highballin days, worst days, best meals, worst meal...

I had a bad case of pre-tendinitis (at least everybody said I was pretending). I aggravated it by going back too soon. It really does need to heal fully or it will just get inflamed again, and painfully worse. My case involved my shovel hand which I worked around with A Taking time off, B:Using a br...

There can only be one .... Shreddies. Although I admit that Quaker Harvest Crunch has a honey nut brand that is quite fantastic as a snack to carry in the truck, sort of like trail mix.

AVOID HAND BRUSHING AT ALL COSTS!

So southern BC equals hotter, less bugs, mostly 5on 2off and more hotel shows. What are the down sides? actually there were some great blocks around the 100 mile house region. just don't go west of williams as it gets rockier and rockier till you get to the hell that is anaheim lake. where if there...

Who was your buddy? Did it "happen" to him or he heard about it from a buddy who it happened to? I must know him as it was about 10 from my crew in it. This sounds too close not to be the crummy that I was in in this accident (aside from your dramatic retelling with not only wrong but fic...

kingjames_2nd

I have a short story to relate. This is hear-say as I was not involved, however it did happen to a buddy of mine. Also, this probably falls into both the vehicle safety and water danger categories. On the FFI about 30 min north of Mackenzie you cross the giant bridge and then a little further there ...

Re: The posting by Duncan » Thu Feb 26, 2009 2:06 pm I enjoyed your posting, Duncan. I scrolled down and saw that massive block of words, printed it, and read it on the can.

I think that he is saying he has 1050 seedlings growing and he would like to transplant them and now he wants advice? Based on my experience working at a "big tree" nursery: #1. Seedlings which are growing in the earth free of a planter pod will spread their roots out wide. When trasplanti...

I recieved the following in my email. I would like to point out that I have not applied to Outland since maybe 2005? I can only think that this email is a result of a very old email or somebody is playing tricks on me.... Or Outland is very desperate and searching all their old archives for prospect...

So this guy got fired for opting out of working for no pay? What company was this?! I agree we should be paid for duties such as camp set-up and un-loading truckloads of trees, however that is a discussion for another thread. In this case he was not opting out of doing free work in a good for every...

We had a rookie one year who thought that things like "free work" and "reefer duty" were voluntary. However nice that would be, they were not. When informed that we were as a camp, unloading the reefer he replied by saying something like "Oh no thanks, you guys go ahead with...

are bears usually a threat to camps in ontario where i'll be this spring? like will i have to not have food in the tent? (actual rookie question :P) Definitely. Don't let any food harbourers tent beside you either. Also, learn as much as you can about planting here so you will sound smarter than th...

I planted with a guy who had one. In contrast I used to go buy a nice cheap farmers straw hat. both were light, kept the sun of the head and allowed the wind to blow through your hair.

They also both did not stand up well, getting crushed and mangled very quickly.

I bring it up once a year. http://archives.cbc.ca/environment/environmental_protection/clips/3915/ I'd go with brinkman given the choice... but only because I never worked for brinkman.

hey donkey. I can suggest taking your shovel to a hardware store and finding a shovel or "spade" that has a similar shaft in width and length. See if it will be easy to take it appart so you can get at the shaft. mke sure you're not paying trillions for it too. Maybe check around the hardw...

I found designer made Giorgio Armani Gortex Rainjacket in Value Village for $30. When I wear that thing I feel like a king. Planting in it feels pretty good too.

# 4 was the last day of the season. I think it was 18 - 20 cents though I can't remember now. There were some people on nicer pieces working their asses off pulling in 5 bills+ but I was not one of them. I was slogging through neck high ferns and burning nettles. Nettles that would pierce your pants...

You can't disagree with the fact that if a quad ran over your foot you'd prefer to be wearing steel-toes. I disagree. Quads are light and the wheels small. There is almost no chance of actually getting a foot run over by a quad. You would be at a greater risk of getting you knee clipped by the fend...
