Where lumberjacks can't get them.... |
|
| |
Chainsaws don't kill trees, Lumberjacks do |
|
| |
RT: maybe individuals can't carry them, but you could hire an army of Scottish Caber-tossers. |
|
| |
Unfortunately, there's nowhere lumberjacks (we call 'em loggers in Oregon) can't get at them. Maybe you should concentrate your efforts on creating self-defending trees--Pinursus horribilis, the Grizzly Bear Pine, for instance. |
|
| |
Remember the film Silent Running, in which the forests were all moved to space stations? |
|
| |
Self-defending trees won't work. The lumberjacks would adapt counter-measures. |
|
| |
Maybe we should tax paper use to subsidize environmental protection of threatened forest land. |
|
| |
Radical "eco-terrorist" types add
metal spikes to trees to make them
"self-defending" (creating serious
risk of injury for the chainsaw
operator). |
|
| |
The poor trees. I certainly can't imagine having metal spikes imbedded in me to protect me from chainsaw murderers. |
|
| |
I have several metal spikes embedded in me, and so far they've worked wonderfully --- I haven't been chainsawed to pieces by a lumberjack, despite *several* visits to Oregon. |
|
| |
(My understanding was that trees were supposed to be spiked in places that the chainsaw will miss: the hope is that the spike will be carried to the sawmill, which it will destroy. It doesn't hurt the company that much if a few loggers are killed, you can always hire another one, but mills are *expensive*.) |
|
| |
Well, you can't be sure of the correlation there. Just like the fact that you've never seen an Elephant hiding in a cherry tree doesn't demonstrate that their strategy of painting their toenails red works. I've been to Oregon many times myself, spike-free, and have also managed to avoid chainsaw massacre. But if I can assume by your post that you're volunteering for sawmill destruction duty, knock yourself out. |

I misread this as "potable" forests... |
|
| |
I'm voting for it based on my poor reading skills!!! |

Baked in Scotland a long, long time ago. For didn't Great Birnam Wood eventually reach High Dunsinane? |
|
| |
I didn't really want to do it. It was was my wife, she forced me. |
|

Baked: by the Yank administration. Dubya's (and Clinton's) preference re: the Kyoto agreement was not to reduce CO2 emissions, but plant and "harvest" rapid growing forests that act like spounges for all the greenhouse gases. In this way they they could move a forest next to any high poluting area in the hope this way tubby gun toting yanks could carry on driving everywhere in 5 litre gas gusslers without harming the environment. |
|
| |
What I want to know is why Dubya didn't submit that idea to halfbakery... |
|
| |
[Gordon Comstock] obviously did. |
|
| |
I do believe that the Portable Forest main feature would in its self, defeat the point of a forest. I believe that forests are ment to stop erosion and whatnot. |
|

"Maybe you should concentrate your efforts on creating self-defending trees"
Explosive flora? Where's [AfroAssault]? |

UB exploded his lawn recently <she said trying to be helpful> |

|
| |
Run, Forest, Run!
I dunno, Homer - those Cambodia forests are pretty tough |
|
| |
Baked by Shakespeare ! Well, atleast in a story ! |
|
| |
