: Hi Tig & Tink;

: Wood is a renewable resource that has been used by humankind for 10's of
: thousands of years . . . Please consider perhaps devoting your energy to
: containing the reproductive rate of the inhabitants here, or seeking new
: frontiers and human accomodations - - The natural resources are for our
: collective use, and I consider it very regrettable that you would attack
: (however gently) a poster who is simply harvesting wood for a legitimate
: use.

: It is regrettable that the present "politicaly correct" atmosphere
: would cause people to have such responses. I'm sure my fireplaces over the
: last 30 years have burned hundreds of times what the poster might even
: consider harvesting. Also, the internal combustion engine is not that bad
: either . . . ;-)

: I enjoy your commentary, I hope we can remain friends, but I think you are a
: wee bit off base here. (As if I have never been there . . . [g])

Since we’re talking about deforestation and such… I’m planning on building a boat from lumber I will cut myself. The lumber will be blown down trees on my parents place. This canoe or kayak is destined to be a piece of family nostalgia since all the wood will come from the family homestead.
