Earthling,
Heck no I'm not offended <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />by [deleted] well never mind, ahem, <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> anyway we all live in different times and places and its just interesting to me when something gets one group or another all riled up. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> I think theres something in the water here, nobody cares about much but the snow condition on the mountain. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

However - quite frankly where I live the native forests are so tight the trees are stunted and they need a good fire <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />but its been so long that the damage done would be devastating <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> so instead they combine legal firewood cutting with mechanised "cleanig" to cut down 3/4 of the saplings <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />. This is the land of a billion pine trees and if I wanted to I could go 5-10 miles from here and practice all of the woodsmanship crafts I wanted to including building a lean to <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />. People wold call it a hunter camp.
