So your work are happy to give you two months off every year to go plant trees?! Glad you're having fun!
| stof said: In the past three weeks I've planted in snow 4 days and freezing rain and hail for another 2. Within 3 days I've shivered like crazy and blistered from sun burn. I've fired flares at bears and even chased one up a tree. I've pooped outside more times than I can count (fallen over birch trees are the perfect toilet, and have gotten completely plastered in town and was ejected from the internet cafe (fortunately they let me back in). I've caught garter snakes, been eaten alive by bugs got high, laid and drank a five litre gas can full of beer. Oh yes, and I've only showered twice so far. I just hit my new best yesterday. 2,220 trees at .08 a tree. You guys can do the math on that one. And I hope to hit that again tomorrow. I'm in absolute hell right now and loving every second of it. Just thought I'd drop by and give you an update. Later people, I'll see you in another week or two. |
You're crazy stof... and we miss you. Glad you're having fun and behalf of myself and other Ontarians - thank you for planted all those trees!! Keep it up! Then get back here and give us more of your amusing quips ASAP.

No need to thank me. Actually you probably shouldn't thank me. It's not exactly restoring the forest. It's more like turning the clear cut in to a giant block of farmland with a monoculture of specific trees that will be cut down again 50 to 60 years down the line. It's like farm labour, just on crown land instead of farmers fields.
Oh yeah, and yesterday during dinner my shovel hand started to sieze up on me while I held my spoon. Then my planting hand siezed up on me an hour later. I'm also on the verge of leg cramps (they were hell last season). So it looks like my body is beginning to fall apart. Fuck I love it up here.
I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.
Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.
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.
Each of those trees in 50 years can be expected to weigh an average of 505 kg (1 113pounds) when dry. Since 45% of the dry mass of trees is carbon according to the link below, that each tree will have removed 227kg (500 pounds) of atmospheric carbon.
Unless they are allowed to decay, or are burned, they will not release that carbon (say if they are used for construction). Either way, forest where there was no forest is a great thing. I admire the altruism of what you are doing. Getting financially compensated does not take away from the altruism.

!!:O:O!!
It's stof!
Your little anecdotes on your trip are hilarious.
177.60 in one day!? Awesome. Now you can get high 17 times (depending on exchange rates, and weak american dollar)!!!!!
Of course, during those snow days, I planted absolute shit. The second week was a hell where one or two days I only made about 40 bucks. I'm really looking forward to catching up now that the cold weather looks like it's finally going away. Seriously, May 27th we awoke to 2 cm of snow.
of course, it's still cold when we wake up, but that's because we get up at 5 in the morning!

Canada is a Canabis exporter, so exchange rates have nothing to do with the price he pays.

Oh, shows how little I know about illegal substances (in America at least).
2 CM!
Holy crap! In may!?!?
That is 2/2.5 inches of snow!
Wow, 0.8 inches. I bake in the heat at 80 Degrees F. Or 23 Degrees C. Or 296 Degrees K.
