They're saying the same thing that -- is.

Ain't that the truth. Using two ply rolls made of recycled paper is pretty cool, though. Recycled paper is cheaper than regular.

I worked with a guy in the bush once who never packed any paper so when you saw him come into the landing with a sleeve missing you knew you had to watch your step.
The faller used to give him hell for not "flagging" the tree where he took his dump.

The hell if I'd ruin a good shirt when there are perfectly good leaves and moss around.

Our ancestors had to use something and yet they still survived. lol
The faller had no sense of smell?

Maybe the pine odour masked the smell.

Most fallers I have watched are usually looking up at the next tree before the last one hits the ground so he wasnt allways looking hard at the ground.
Didnt help when the guy brushed pine needles over it.
This was mostly intended for the boss who also did lots of falling.
The guy was allways eating our lunch so it was constant payback time.

Once I ran one over with my skidder and the damn thing lodged in my chains which were on the front.I could see it was getting ready to fly off soon so i slowed down to a crawl as i pulled my next drag of logs in,the boss was swamping on the landing and standing there waiting to help unhook my chokers.
I pinned it the last 60 feet and cut a hard right into the landing when that turd went flying off and hit the boss in the gut.

That was a classic.

I believe they used cat tail down (the soft seed cluster) as well. I know that they packed babies bottoms with the stuff. It's very soft and fluffy and never chafes. You can also mix it with mud and build a house.

The Vikings and the Chinese sailed arround Greenland nobody was worried about CO2 or global warming then and it's daffy to worry about it now. Adjusting the sun will be expensive, we will be in a deep freeze in less than two years. I have a very good weather beetle.

No global warming?

Republican governor Arnold Schwarzenegger appeared in the Copenhagen conference. He was joined by the Prince of Wales who is so admired by that big proponent of GW in Republican Bush.

Therefore, GW must be for real!

Since climate change is cyclical, an ice age might be beginning, even as a short term warming trend is starting up, or winding down. The change is constant. One thing for sure, we will have another, Probably won't be for a few thousand years.

But, I don't think we have to worry about it, neither our childrens' childrens' great grandchildren.

A near future meteor strike would be just as, or even more, likely. In which case, it's probably all over for us anyway. Hey, the second coming might happen too. Follow the money and see who's benefiting from the BS and fear mongering.

Screw global warming. The world should reduce noxious emissions just because...........they're noxious, and kill people.....ya not think? Again, follow the money.

Have a beer. Relax. We ain't getting out of here alive, none of us.

Trade ya some carbon for a 24 of Canadian.

The last camp I ran was just north of Rankin inlet and a year ago they were still calling for civil disobediance in all the village newspapers.
The Innuit have not had good access to the internet and media untill just a few years ago and they do like the "attention" they get from the world.

Yes they jumped on the bad khabuna(white man) bandwagon and then it backfired on them as polar quota's were cut.
So now they tell villagers to say it was a "defense" killing and they have been.
Kind of ironic.
