for coastal work i would say NO. for the price buy 2 pairs of blue lightning non steel toe with neoprene liners and a good footbed. will always have a dry pair and can rotate, plus they are light. and you will not need to apply leather treatment all the time if wet conditions. i wore vibergs for yea...

Western Forest Products is considering requiring all planters to wear steel toed boots. I don't think this really sunk in when I read this earlier. This doesn't entirely make sense to me, since all coastal planters by necessity are required to wear caulks, which inevitably are steel-toe and steel-s...

OK. now i cannot take your pie talk seriously after this post.

Live in Salmon Arm, and I am sorry but their pies are substandard. No butter crust, but lard crusts and tastes are not perfected. You obviously still have not had a good pie if you think their pies are great.

its great work. but does the info really want to be shared? thats what happened planting. more and more people with no experience start. crappy low bid contractors come in, and it starts to ruin it for the experienced people. its already bad enough, i saw sh.tty planting companies subcontracting las...

I can get where your coming from. My training is in forestry, but don't use the degree as i hate hourly rate jobs and what the forest industry has become. But I have been planting for over 20 years now, and did development/silviculture work prior to that for several years. There has been a huge chan...

workwizer in the past for shovels. didn't get a last years blade or this year yet. bush pros are slightly heavier blades, i like the lighter weight of workwizers. workwizer plastic handles (not last years metal shaft/blade ones) are by far and away the best. lighter weight and the plastic shaft abso...

Rainforest is only on boats for short contracts/periods of time, and not much at that. Do not do camps.

chronic

Do not buy used ones. Thats just cheap. I Know a person that did that and got a weird staff infection. Can't say for sure it was from used shin pads, but shortly after a friend got some used ones, got a slight rub, then staff infection shortly after. Who wants someone else's sweat when the things on...

chronic

do it. you won't regret it. i wear soccer shin pads and won't plant without them. can smash and lean into shit. for 25.00 best money you will spend.

chronic

they both offer shit wages. if rpf, most likely you will sit in an office signing more paperwork than being in the field. tech you will travel lots, and lot of time working under an rpf who was a city kid who decided he wanted to be a forester. sorry, been there, done that. went to school for forest...

Yes, but smaller program this year. Spots even more limited this year. Unless your a very regular, regular not much chance of work.

chronic

To plant trees. Wow you can tell who's old school and new school these days.

chronic

the tri-folds are better. although that being said. just more shit in your kit to pack around. usually fall out in truck so you have to dig for them. also when sharing a cache, usually some douche sitting in your chair since they don't have one. f.ck off. don't bother bringing anymore. collapse a bo...

Option #1 won't work for you, as its solid one piece plastic to the bottom, no rivets or screws like the old wooden shaft handles. You would need to go option #2. Get the handle and blade apart and you will see the metal sleeve in the bottom of plastic shaft. This metal would need to come out and th...

However the flip side to that, having done tons of surveys is that there can be sporadic densities throughout blocks with NSR areas that have to be planted later on anyways, often in tough to reach places driving up costs because of access issues, walk in areas, ect... A lot of times direct seed blo...

I don't care so long as its priced right. Thats all cream is; a good price, not land. Hell I'll take steep and slashy if its priced right.

still a different colour than blue ribbon. have planted through fields of these with blue ribbon. no problems. every company i've worked for blue is the first to go or run out. and every year theres a bin of shitty old rolls of other colours carried over. as with everything in planting though, techn...

chronic

pah. blue blue blue. its the only colour you need. its the only colour that stands out. all light conditions. lupins are purple not blue. fck. teal. its only a backup. yes I've used them all. 20 yrs plus. give me blue or fuck off and try and find my trees.

Wouldn't give him any problems and he could destroy 98% of the people on this forum planting. It's all technique.

I have my own system, but the best line I had from a long time coastal planter was. Do you want cancer of your nuts or ass. He chose ass, and always back bagged his fert.

What is up with these low bid contractors charging for flagging tape. WAgner and all-stars. Rediculous. Passing on the cost to planters so they can bid even lower on contracts. WTF. Planters should boycott these companies on principle so the industry can try and improve. It's already bad enough you ...

I know people that have well over ten years experience, working for the BEST try these guys out last year. Needless to say, they won't be going back. Nuff said.

chronic

Not sure on shipping or the like. I used to go into their shop in Vernon directly. But the guy was always good to deal with. If they don't show online give them a call.

chronic

Really. As a long time planter and avid reader, I thought this book sucked. Maybe 15 pages of interesting planting anecdotes, but the rest was BORING. Waste of money.

chronic

contact bushpro. they do sell spair pouches as I used to buy them to modify. they were cheap and shipping shouldn't be much.

chronic

Whatever. I know many people that plant in caulked scarpa invernos and love them. Shells last forever. They always have dry boots since the liner can be taken out and dried. You can also buy spair liners. I will only use sportiva nepals that have been caulked. And they do not slow me down at all. I'...

So have things gotten better in Northern Alberta. That snow set up at all, or still tough going?

chronic

Buy them directly from viberg victoria. excellent service, and then you are on file if anything goes wrong with boots. they have exceptional service. reasonable shipping. and you can get any boot you want. some stores only stock certain models.

Have two brand new sets of Bushwacker bags that I know I don't need to hold onto. You who know these bags know how hard they are to find since they aren't made anymore. No padding as usual. 125 a set. Bags are in BC

I am amazed no nobody seems to mention that wearing these stupid things in the heat create a safety concern itself. I have been on numerous coastal fall shows where temps are disgustingly warm.

Have for sale a like new pair of black scarpa inverno hiking boots that I had custom caulk (corks). I am a gear snob, so these have a professional resole for corks. I bought these boots brand new, and did the change right away. I wore them maybe three times. I prefer my custom corked leather sportiv...
