when the Man finds you fatwooding.....

[d_filgate]

ROTFLMAO!!! wouldn't surprise me in the least Brother Dawson, they been after wood burning stoves for some time now. Campfires are a step away......:grumpy:

They've almost got wood burning stoves and fireplaces here in Kamloops.
They got a new fire chief who has an issue with open pit fires in yards,
fireplaces and wood burning stoves. He got the ok from the city to pass
a bylaw that says you can't have an open fire unless you own more than
2.5 acres. $500 fine for that if you get caught. Includes fire pits.
He's going after the wood stoves, so that now you can only have a certain
type of pellet stove that's 4 times the cost of an ordinary wood stove, and
it has to be installed by a certified installer, so you can't do it yourself, has
to be inspected by the fire inspector both of which adds extra $$ to the cost
so much so that you have to be very rich just to have one.
He's also trying to get fires in a fireplace inside your own home banned.

How did he do it? First he tried to claim that it was bad for asthma sufferers,
but the fact that we have a pulp mill inside town limits kinda shot that one
down, so he came back with the excuse that it was very dangerous for his
firefighters to have to fight fires caused by open pit and wood stoves.

WTF???? Isn't that their job?????

Anyway, the greenies at city council gave in to him....
No more open pit fires inside city limits unless you own a lot of land, which
translates into having lots of money
No wood stove unless you can pay for all the installation and inspection which
also translates into having lots of money
Can't even use my Kelly Kettle as it's classed as "open pit" for some stupid
reason.

I don't know if it applies being Canada and all but haven't some of you folks heard of "leave no trace" or down here respect what the parks are are all about?

Taking some fatwood from a stump is disrespectful?

Yeah, I've heard of it but I was raised to "leave it better than I found it." I live between the Everglades National Park and Key Biscayne National Park and I have removed a lot of stuff from these areas, beer cans, trash, plastic bags, abandoned fishing line, I'll pick up a walking stick or a branch for a fire now and then but have never harmed a living thing.

One of the local rangers knowing as well as I do that it is not legal to carry a loaded fire arm into the park has told me "but keep it handy". These parks are mine they are my church.

As long as you don't cut down any major living plants or leave any trash around you're generally not going to make any significant impact. Also if you're going to make a fire make it on a stone outcropping or similar so you don't burn any topsoil.

Lol, you have to pick and choose what you tell whom...some people that I "read" as being into the knowledge, once I talk to them for a few, I'll impart some knowledge to them. At other times I have simply told people it is a piece of debris that I am using for some class study....both are still truthful statements, one just doesn't come close to telling the whole story. Sometimes it's just best not to let people know that you can find something useful in it. I have seen cases where people have learned what it was and decided to try to completely clear the local state park of any and try to sell it. I see that as a bit too much work when it is so cheap at the local store... I can get 5 pounds already processed at the local grocery store for $4.00. No way will I try to compete with that, I just collect for myself and grab some extra now and then for friends who live where there isn't any to play with....oh, and of course stock my brother's hearth

sure you can, its "an alcohol stove" just use a catfood tin with methyl hydrate (marine stove alky) in it. Or use BBQ briquittes, or catfood tin full of dry sand and kerosene,,,,,,,

you get the idea

 

[dawsonbob]

Al Gore and I have unfinished business. The day we meet I will be doing the WORLD a favor, when i am done with him.

yea i know,,,,,,I;m on a list now for threatening al gore.......

bring it on.



^ burning a pile of fatwood to bait the "climate change" sociopaths......

Oh, you've done it now, Brother Bushy: you're on THE LIST. Now hoards of rabid Gorester's will be tracking you down.

Since you called it first, I'll hold your coat while you do your thing.

 

[dawsonbob]

These parks are mine they are my church.

I really like that, hushnel. I think that most of us around here feel the same way.

thanks buddy! lemme get my khukuri and BK9 ready for the onslaught of hypocritical mentally ill Gore enviro/climate change/global warming fanatic nutjobs!

wonder how much carbon will be released by burning the dead? the ultimate insult to the above mentioned fanatics..........

I'll even throw in a BK-2 for the up-close work. I have a feeling that — being zombie like — those nut jobs would burn just fine, since all the human blood of common sense has been drained out of them, and they're dry as a bone inside.

They'll tax you on the emitted carbon, though.

Animals leave traces, Beavers leave HUGE traces. I think that we should leave reasonable traces, whatever is better for nature and us.

Huge fire rings that make you use massive amounts of wood to get any heat - rather than simply clearing a patch of dirt is just silly. We should be allowed, and encouraged, to work with nature - not override or not touch it.

That reminds me of a story that's far too big to cut and paste.

We have woods Nazis here, too. We call them the Possum Police. They are always around to harrass us going in and coming out of the WMAs. Never down in the bush. They're afraid of the woods.

I make most my fires down on the beach, that way the tide comes in and removes all traces of me ever being there !
That being said a small controlled fire with a ring of rocks etc and put out properly when ya finished is hardly anything to worry about either.

 

[Bushman5]

Mother Nature will consume all traces of mankind. Mankind, despite his attempts at world destruction, is nothing but an insignificant speck of dust on her skin. There will come a time when mama nature will destroy us all and there will be no trace we ever existed.

we are but on this Earth for a very short time.

Log it, mine it, burn it, pave it, consume it, RACE IT! because when the time comes.........we will be wiped off mother earths face like a bit of ketchup on her lips.

i have my moments......

 

[99f250]

Not trying to step on any toes, but i do believe in global warming ...... but after a news story I saw after Inconvenient Truth came out I figure Al Gore puts more carbon in the atmosphere heating his HUGE house than survival types like us do with a lifetime of campfires.

And flying from place to place giving lectures.
