i agree about that. life time warranty only warrants material and intended purpose. everything at one point has an expiration date. life time sentence even ends at one point (isn't it like 25 years?) 1st .. dont tell MEC ur life story second, don't tell any 'life warranty' company your life story in...

Catherine

another for the MEC http://www.replant.ca/board/viewtopic.php?t=44281 Wool is definitely the way to go. It's warm when wet and doesn't get stinky like polypro or soggy like fleece. Cotton takes forever to dry, and doesn't insulate well, so it's pretty useless in the rain. My combo on cold rainy days...

Lemons: I liked to put lemon pieces in my water bottle- they give a fresh flavour and help cut the thirst feelings. bite into a lemon before each bag up and try to bag out before the flavour does. good source of vitamin C. Drink as much water as you can after work and before going to bed; drink when...

looks good, but i dont know...

someone recommended a helly hanson rain jacket in this forum though:

The bottle of wine analogy is a bad one. just for the sake of replying, the bottle of wine 'analogy' is suppose to be a metaphor. it's not a matter of comparing 10$ to 1000$- it was a matter of quality. not offending anything but your taste buds? That is the whole point of wine! If we compare accor...

If there were ppl representing our views, then there would naturally be the opposite group of people who want things to stay the same and who would need to oppose our views unless our views are "we love treeplanting the way it is". And if that was our view, then why do we need anyone repre...

Catherine

What type of association do you think would best suit the needs of the workers while accommodating the constantly changing and transitory nature of the workforce? Treeplanter's Fair Share Association- economic analysis of the forestry industry in relation to the planter, unbiased by what the forest...

Catherine

what i find interesting is the big difference between the oil and forestry industry camps, between rigger and treeplanter. i don't know enough to actually make a point to complain we should get what riggers get, but it would definitely be something to look into. it kind of leads me to think treeplan...

oh hemp seeds and flax seeds are not the same thing. i know ppl eat flax seeds for their omega content.. i don't know much about them other then they do not have the right Omega 6 VS Omega 3 ratio (too much omega 6) and these two omegas need to be consumed at the right ratio or else there is an unba...

Catherine

i think theres more skepticarians then vegetarians here

Catherine

thats cuz you buy the ones that still have shells

(thats like saying you need to put sunflowers through a grinder)

Catherine

interesting.. thank you! did you plant for them before?

Catherine

I'm a Quebec resident uh huh uh huh!

i wonder if quebec seperates i would be an immigrant here or in canada. i think ill avoid that question for now.

Catherine

Cool, thanks :> I didn't think I'd find anything! You know a lot about it too, lucky me :D I sent an email to the foret expert adresses they had up on canadian treeplanting, I'm not sure if they are still valid they seem to be for the 2006 season... did you see the size of those trees? :shock: shees...

Catherine

I can't find any, does it exist?

i need to live and work in Quebec full-time for one year in order to become a Resident of Quebec (cheaper tuition), so i can't leave the province.

Just thought they'd be good ice breakers for people trying out the veggie meats and tofu the first time.

What's the average recommended calories for breakfast, lunch or supper? I never counted my calories...

Catherine

HEMP SEEDS.... 1) 1 tbl spoon = 1 portion of meat or fish = 4.6 grams of protein. Contains the highest or 2nd highest (im not sure, but definitely one or the other) plant protein on record. 2) Contains the highest amounts of Essentital Fatty Acids (EFAs) from any plant in the entire plant kingdom. 3...

Does someone have Stephane's (Levesque from folklore) vegetarian curry receipe of last season?
I think a website of his treeplanting receipes would be good.

Catherine

Meatless alternatives : Note: Anything veggie meat is generally better when it's "spicy" instead of "original", don't be afraid that it is going to be hot it just has a better taste. :idea: Tofurky: :arrow: http://www.tofurky.com/products.htm :?: best veggie slices ever, you'd g...

Catherine

espeicially that is was on the internet- I didn't think anyone really monitored it to that extent or that it would even be considered credible. there's all kinds of worst things then a moose running in a picture. if you want to see stuff to turn you off animal cruelty check this out (pick a media pl...

Catherine

wow someones bored, not enough tim hortons in the wild or something.

Catherine

uh... good point :roll: well, still a good question then i guess but a medium company that can own up to its mediocrity may not be too crappy for rookies because they would maybe be more inclined to teaching/trainning their rookies cuz they are in desperate need for quality trees or quality planters...

Catherine

What to look for in a company/ ask at an interview or by email: What percentage of the vets came back last season? This season? What percentage of rookies came back last season? This season? What percentage completed the season? Left? What percentage left due to injury/ tendonitis? How much did the ...

road riding is a strange one. well it gives you a good endurance base, the musles you work are all wrong for walking. hell most roadies couldn't jump an inch off the ground. I do loaded touring- it's a little more intense over distance then road bicycling can be- fully equipped with tent, out of se...

Catherine

interesting... makes sense since most of the treeplanters I planted with were in post secondary education and that's probably definitely/generally why they didn't coastal plant. good luck krahn, alberta and inland bc is better for your knees i think. planting like your climbing stairs wouldn't be go...

Why is there 4 to 7 + year old "inland" highballers that never attempt BC coastal/island work? Is the money easier inland, on the long run, even though you get paid less per tree? Can't teach old dogs new tricks or something? I thought it would be easier on the wrists, etc. Maybe people do...

I'm planting for Folklore. I'm pretty glad, for my first season anyway! I don't think there is any hitler style yelling and digusting food in this camp (I hear this happens sometimes..) ahhh, beer.. Euh, is rah to the vibram good or bad? Never heard "rah" before. Pardonez, I'm a little fre...

Sounds good- I'm gonna find me a tent they'll replace if it breaks :twisted: muhaha I know some companies rate their sleeping bags inappropriately: ex: says its good for -10 but thats only if you wear warm clothing and its not really -10 out. I don't know why, but someone told me once. We should fin...

I have camping gear but I might need to make some changes since I bought it mostly for the purpose of loaded bicycle touring. Does anyone have any suggestions? Tent size and style?

some things i wonder about........... :roll: Do you just LOVE wool? espeicially the 250$ merino wool? Do you just LOVE larger boots so you can fit layers of socks and insoles so you don't get blistures? even if your boots are the BEST leather boots made for 'your' feet EVER? Do you SWEAR by items th...
