Oh so i get thumbs down for speaking truth..shit you all look like real nice people , but those were some poorly planted trees sorry.. What happened to inspections and digging for j roots..oh well you probably dont get paid much.. I'd burn one with you any time but you planting thats another thing
Planting has changed a lot since the 80's and 90' s - the massive screefs, have been replaced with duff planting trees whose plugs have enough fertalizer to sustain them for an entire year. As a 10 year vet, I have seen the change, from bigger screefs my first year to pretty much none now a days. It used to be just on the interior plateaus at the high elevation but this style has been adopted by pretty much all foresters and logging companies now. It's faster and more cost effective.
Fair enough .. but when I planted, it wasn't just about scalping, either it was about HAVING to have the roots absolutely straight, plots were thrown, roots were dug, etc.. I also inspected plots for the US forest service and planted well over a million and half trees from 2-1's to plugs, plugs , sure you can sometimes just "stick 'em in" , so ok planting has changed a lot , I'll buy that..it was changing by the time i "got out" . I meant offense but we could never plant like that..
Quality is always checked and scored by Ministry (canadian government) trained officials, and company trained/hired quality techs. Payment to planting companies is based on a quality percentile - with a REQUIREMENT of 95% quality in most cases for full payment. Straight plugs can be planted more quickly now, with better equipment, and more land clearing. Things done in another geo-climatic zone, in another country, two decades ago, are not comparable.
Hey; anthonypi, I've planted on the BC coast for 20 years and have planted well over 2 million myself. Including a lot of 2-1 plugs and big gnarly 2-0 bareroots but those were years ago. I would love see some online stuff about planting in the States are you aware of any.
Here you have to pass the quality inspected by the licensee at one plot/Hectare straight roots too or fines will occur. Where I plant survival is in the 90% range, and our crew has only seen a couple of small fines in 18 years.
20 years your insane ; ) , I remember Weyerhaeuser "super trees", 2-1 bare roots 100 per bag up, with root wads a foot long.I planted for contractors as well as Hoedads out of Eugene, I've found very little stuff from the 70s-80's, Hey I hear you about inspections, really..I've worked jobs where they literally laid down and dug roots with toothpicks, seriously,Hoedads has a site ,but not much "video" from those days,I'll put up what i find, it's been a long time since the tent,rain, & food runs
I've read some of the other comments you've left on other planting videos over the last 2 years. Kind of sounds like the same stuff over and over again. I understand that there was a lot of bare-root planting in the past, but that is almost completely finished except on the coast. As a planter who has planted way over a million trees, I find it hard to believe your claim that you planted so many only bagging 100 trees at a time in only a 10 year period????
bro.. on the coast we planted 100 at a BAG UP we still did 1000 a day, thats TEN bag ups on the Oregon Wash coast range... , I've planted in OR,WA,AZ,CA ,MT,ID, and Nevada, everywhere in OR and WA, including Mt St Helens 4 years in a row, where we did about 1500 plugs before 11:00am .. estimate of 1.5 million is probably low..I planted at least 1000 a day, every day, every year, your point?... some people just plant slow, some sloppy, some fast, some good, some fast&good, slow &sloppy, whatever
@anthonypi ...hey friend...Im trying to get the best info possible on working this season as a tree planter..I am a rookie, but really want it...I'm presantly in Puerto Rico surfing and strength training...I would deeply appreciate any information or contacts. I was raised in NJ, but went to school at PSU n Cal Polytech, SLO... I am ready to travel anywhere needed for the job...thanks again ,Mike Morris
Hey any word on the full thing? it looks awesome. i'm headin out in like 8 days. Only thing is i gotta fly over from ireland first. I uploaded a video i made last summer; search for "milo planting" and you'll find it. awesome
I'm wondering if you give Ram's Cap a fair treatment in the full length movie... perhaps in explaining the reason why so many people were crying at our camp. His jokes were funny.
rather .. I meant NO offense but we could never plant like that..

Dang, I really want to bond with nature Albertan style, yet if that includes bonding with that many black flies...
the little black flies, always the black flies no matter where I go, I'll die with the black flies picking my bones...
My boundries seem violated with 3 of them, or or just take 1 determined blud succa, trying to nest in my ears.
But, I suppose it's a case of imersing oneself completely; whence-for you either adapt, or retract.
I'm going to need a steady pair...uh, of boots I mean.
