So tell me this smarty pants. Why is it you like slamming loggers? Sounds to me like you have an inferority complex. Those guys do more physical work in a year than you have your whole life. Jealousy will get you no where.

Just the loggers that feel entitled to harvest public timber without having to follow environmental laws.

How many of these do you actually know or have conversation with? I know quite a few fallers, gippo loggers, and I can't say I head them complain about regulations.
Its more about not get the timber they got out of the sale compared to what was surveyed. Or the cost of having to truck it so far to get it to the mill.

IDK -- but this guy seems to believe the USFS isn't selling as much timber as he thinks they should.

You have to consider the source from that one.

Hiking isn't extracting anything from public land and making it unavailable to others. I don't have to pay to walk around a Safeway either but they want money if I plan to eat anything I find there.
I do pay for a NWFP and Sno Park Pass, so it's not really accurate to say I'm lucky to get what I paid for.

Over crowding of hiking areas can and has led to limiting others ability to hike in areas. Where permits are required to stay in some areas. So that statement is false in some areas. I can see more areas going to that in our state but it is what it is.

Are you really comparing having to day hike the Enchantments instead of being able to camp there to taking a thing that belongs to everybody and then selling it?

Taking a thing and selling it what are you talking about? Your really reaching if your insinuating timber. Renewable resource.

I've been doing something more productive with my time including some forum enhancements and things that actually add value here rather than bother to engage the thread vultures.

no attitude there at all...
Please define "an honest day's work".
I've been working since I turned 15. I've had 2 6 month breaks - one was my honeymoon in 1990 the other was when the economy crashed in 2008 and I got to collect a few of the unemployment $$$ I had been paying in for the prior 35 years. I've been at work throughout this pandemic. I've changed career paths 3 times in the last 20 years - as the situation and my "honest" assessment of the economy dictated. We are humans, we can adapt to the situations at hand. I don't think I've ever put in a dishonest days work, but who knows how that is defined by the honest workers of the world.
Since I have no expectations of forgiveness, I don't do it in the first place. That loop hole needs to be closed to everyone.

Quite the contrary, you’ve made all the difference in changing my mind. 3 thousand some odd acres of Fed logging out of 9 million some odd total acres of national forest in WA definitely constitutes and demonstrates a sweeping, comprehensive management plan; effortlessly instituted by the powers that be. Not controversial at all, nothing to see here or discuss further, we are all witnesses to the resource management perfection that Randito has so beneficially provided proof positive evidence for.

former Forest Service Chief Dale Bosworth wrote: | Americans must decide - We can remove some of the trees and lower the risk of catastrophic fire; or we can do nothing and watch them burn. I think the choice is obvious - In a good part of the West—where forests are overgrown—we must return forests to the way they were historically, then get fire back into the ecosystem when it’s safe. |
