re: #127 albusteve

you are such a nice person…I won’t even reply to such a stupid post

Nothing stupid about his post, bitterman.

It’s true. The problem isn’t the trees, but the brush/tinder on the
forest floor. That’s what initially spreads fire. “Maintenance Logging”
has little to do with preventing fires. It’s logging pushed through under the guise of fire prevention.

To really clean up forested areas to prevent fires, you’d be spending
90% of your times clearing brush, undergrowth, and dead snags….not anything worthy of commercial logging.

I’m no fire behaviour expert, but I’ve taken the training. I’ve fought fires on type 2 wildland crews.
