Yea watch at auctions you can find good deals on chains and flea markets are a good place to! I use sec 70 1/4 inch transport chain its light but is as strong as 3/8 regular chain! Lancek

I agree 100 % and that is what I am getting at go to the organizations that are ready established and see if they can cooperate with our fledgling group !

Well that is also why I think we should set up regional or state wide groups so that we can start going after some of these things. I am sure most of this kind of work will have to be on a state by state basis I also think that since we are in our infancy we may be able to work with some of the environmental groups that may have more clout at the state house! and no I am not going tree hugger!!!!! 🙂

Many people with disability can do many things just in a different way! It is pretty small minded to think that a disabled person couldnt take on a task like this ! Your only limited by the limits that you set for yourself !Lancek

The courts and insurance company’s can not regulate you into having insurance and wavers are a good idea but not a fail safe! The only way to protect your assets and this is going to sound very bad but is what most company’s do and that is to hide all your assets! You either have to pay the insurance guys or the lawyers and as far as the big saw mills are concerned a well placed law suit can solve a lot of problems there. See you go after them in court and make a big media problem for them IE large company trying to stiffel small guy and dont say it cant be done I have done it with GP !
And that is why I still say we need some kind of lobbying branch to see if we can get some of these things changed Lancek

I agree with Jason, I have never carried insurance other than health insurance to operate I did when I had a tree service and that was only way to get liability insurance was to take out a wc I to use a 1099 and require the worker to supply his own tools and do not regulate his hours and I pay piece rate so they is no confusion as to the employ and employer relationship! In most states this is exceptibal but you would have to check your local regulations!
I to try to follow all the safety rules but sometimes things happen just like the other day it started out quite calm but this storm blew up on us unexpected we had no warning it was like we seen the clouds on the horizon but they came down on us like a ton of bricks! And as I have posted before as the organization grows maybe we can look into some sort of self insurance but I feel that may be quite a few years down the road Lancek

Hey Taylor,
I think you have a good idea there but it may be a hard road to hoe! Its been my experience that trying to train the public on how to market timber can be a difficult task, most land owners or at least the ones I have dealt with do not want to make that extra effort! But I could be wrong [ My wife trys to remind me of that all the time] and the folks up there may be more interested than what they are here. So give it a try and see and let us know what your findings are this may be very beneficial in the end Lanck

[lancek]

ehy it looks good Carl, maybe what we need to do is try to diswade floks from asking dumb questions insted of just deleteing them that way we dont shrug any body off that might be serious but just dont no how to be! I no the bumpas rants has gottien on everybodys nerves but there agian we are trying to build membership!I was just thinking maybe we should limit conversation on this form to forestry and animal draft power
