Forums - Website Topics - I'm off to the bush for two months of blissful hell!

I, Stof, am a tree planter.

 For my second time, I will be spending two months in northern Ontario. I will spend that time planting trees 6 days a week, 10 hours a day. I will sleep in a tent at a bush camp, wake up at 5 A.M. each day and shower maybe, MAYBE once a week. Why so few showers? A few reasons. 

 

Reason 1. We get dirty so often that if we showered every time we weren't clean we'd wash our skin off

Reason 2. We all stink, so who'll notice?

Reason 3. So little time in a day

And finally, the most important reason of all: The more you shower, the more the bugs are attracted to you.

 Black flies, Mosquitoes, Dear flies, Horse flies and those crazy beetles that will sometimes accidentally fly in to you and take a bite out of you the size of a Vespa.

So why would I subject myself to this torture that a lot of people end up quitting after just a week or two?

Because it's the greatest experience of my life. 2 months of bonfires, swimming in lakes (I swam in 7 seperate lakes and a river last time), meeting awesome people, getting drunk, getting high, eating amazing food and just hanging out. There's nothing like it. There's also no internet.

 I'm leaving sometime thursday night/friday morning. And for the next two months I might MIGHT visit this site during my day off in town. But I make no promises.

 So this is my farewell thread. Why is it in website discussion instead of off topics you ask? Because I'm a mod, and I'm in a rather power abusing mood right now. 



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Have you forgotten about Lost? Are you going to manage not to spoil things for youself over that time? Especially as the last few episodes have really been increasing in brilliance



We have to go two months without Stof!

but who will deliver our post?



So what are the details for planting these trees. Are they all in the same general area or do you travel all over?

Have fun while your there, I personally wouldn't do it for 2 months, but it sounds like you'll have a good time.

 I've thought about that. Hopefully I'll be able to catch this weeks episode. I'm putting my mom on taping duty while I'm gone and it's not like any one up there is going to spoil anything because they're all in the exact same situation.

 

@TWRoo. I've been training my black and white cat to drive the red van. Things will go fine.
