Logging,the best job ever!

[NSTartan]

What do you guys do with your tops? Are they limbed and forwarded out too, or are they left behind? Your tops are bigger than out entire trees! (near halifax)

[101MrMatty]

massive respect for these guys. You gotta love the job!

[LordSirpiko]

@NSTartan more than likely the limbs are stripped and used for firewood/mulch and the beam for 'knotty cheap wood' maybe even paper.

In fact, just because someone works in a profession where they cut, fell, lop, prune, etc, trees doesn’t mean they don’t like trees, and it doesn’t mean they couldn’t give a crap about nature. My best wishes-

open up space for more or new growth. Altered the flow of water, rain absorption and some area is suffering because of it? It is highly likely that another area is now getting saturated and benefiting from the new flow/absorption direction. Believe me I can go on and on. Is there a business somewhere totally shitting on nature? You bet there is, but somewhere right now there is a doctor violating a patient, does that mean all doctors are evil?

Yeah I have a passion for trees. When I first saw this video I knew tree lovers would describe it as satan’s work. But there’s a respectful healthy way to harvest trees. We understand the many cycles of a forest, logs/remains left on the floor certainly do have new uses by other organisms including other plants. We don’t usually cut juvenile trees. Most trees properly assessed for harvest will lessen the competition for resources,

@crawlFace

but being vegetarian because you simply don’t like the idea of killing animals is a bit strange since it is widely accepted that plants are organisms too. So what makes someone choose one over the other? “Well, animals have eyes and that’s just way more than I can handle, plus some may fight back, but plants are much easier to kill, so I’ll just eat plants and feel like I am righteous”. That sounds like a child’s reasoning.

Going for a walk along the coast, maybe to a favourite perch overlooking a valley or a simple walk through the woods: you’re killing thousands of insects, as well as damaging plants. Oh so now we’re choosing? Insects are kind of creepy and disgusting but plants are pretty, so sorry but too bad insects?

Got another great one: being vegetarian because you don’t want to support some crappy conditions of the industry is definitely fair and sensible,
