Replant.ca - Tree Planting Canada

Good info ya'll. Thanks a lot for the input. It doesn't seem like a simple operation so I might just opt to buy a new shovel.

I want to shorten the shaft length of my shovel, but I'm not sure of the correct way (or if there is a correct way) to open up my Workwizer for length adjustment. I have two ideas: Idea 1: I need to bust open the holes near the handle which may be hiding some screws. Idea 2: I need to separate the y...

I consider ambi planting the one major reason why my body hasn't blown up after 6 seasons and still feels like it has a few more left in it. Working in both feet for closing holes is just as key as using both hands. I only began to learn to plant ambi during the last few shifts of my first season so...

Size yourself up and order a shovel of appropriate length from Workwizer. Bushpro shovels are shit.

I haven't had to use the T2200 for quite a while, been doing the RWA thing, which for me has always worked better. Anyways, have a couple of questions for those of you who do file this way. Do you fill out a t777 and put camp costs and motel down as lodging, then just add meals as a food expense, a...

Here's a recent review posted about Outland's 807 contract: http://www.replant.ca/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=64292&start=50#p85376 A few years back Outland's Tolko contract in Manitoba was a high production, vet heavy environment with a great social atmosphere. Last year it began to drift to...

A previous topic briefly brought up the possibility that using a staff, and the resulting "box cut" motion, produces trees with hidden air pockets. Can anyone speak to this? Is it possible to c-cut with a staff, or is there a technique that reduces the likelihood or carving out air pockets...

I may be interested in that staff. I'm in Vancouver too.

Is that a Workwizer blade or a Bushpro blade?

What would a 4m x 4m spacing create in a plot? A 3 I'm guessing? Sounds like your numbers are bang on. If you take your 100m X 100m hectare and make a perfect 4X4 grid, you get 625 trees in a hectare. With a standard plot cord of 3.99m you get a 50 square metres per plot, which makes 200 plots in a...

Yesterday I had my appointment at the hand clinic (btw, it seems like a great physio joint to go to if you happen to be in Vancouver). My guess was correct and I do have trigger finger on my left hand pinkie. Basically it's a build up of scar tissue on the tendon near the bottom joint of my finger. ...

My left pinky finger has had a serious case of "the claw" syndrome since sometime in late-June. My symptoms have not improved appreciably since my last tree at the end of July. I wake up in the morning and my pinkie is stiff as hell. It snaps down every time I close a fist and snaps up eve...

Sounds like Dragons Dens Former Tree Planter Bruce Croxon is full of shit.

Hey sghy it's Funk. This stuff looks great. I'll have to find some time to poke through it soon.

Catch you later, buddy.

Does anyone have information specific to silviculture workers for any provinces other than BC? I have just spent the last hour or so looking for silviculture specific info for Manitoba and have come up empty handed. As a planter who has planted in six provinces over five years (not in BC, however) I...

Howdy, Last summer was my rookie season of planting in Manitoba (Outland) and Ontario (Redbridge). Now that all of my T4's have arrived, I'm hoping to get a little extra from the tax man in the way of travel reimbursement. Some vets told me to squirrel away all of my flight and bus tickets and recei...
