Tree Huggers The Worst

Wolf · May 7, 2008

What's the worst thing you've ever done to **** off the tree huggers?

They can be a royal pain in the A.

I know there are some good stories out there . . . do tell.

I was not involved with this, but in high school some buddies of mine rammed some tree sitters car off the side of the road with a truck. It tumbled down the hill and got pretty messed up. The guy in the tree had a camera and filmed the whole thing.........There was trouble as you could guess.

One of our ex-employees came down a mountain from a residential building site with the D6 and flattened the make shift "camp" and covered up the stop work order signs and went back up the hill. He did the same thing again the following morning.

And he did not want to do it, but he felt better about doing it the next morning.

well, I have not done much to p off the tree huggers, but once I was working up in the Rosiele hills, which is hardcore hippy country. I was clearing bush for farming..... well anyways, I got back up there early one monday morning and noticed a beer bottle or 20 laying around my D8. got looking around... all my gauge glass was smashed out. and i notice lots of foot prints around the rear end..... $%&holes put a bunch of sand in my final drives!!!!

on another note, i was working for an outfit many years ago in northern alberta building oil leases in the middle of nowhere. we were having coffee one morning with the cats all in a circle. we happened to notice a long bone sticking out of the ground.,..... we started looking around and found alot more bones...... then one of the fellows found something that might resemble the top of someones skull.... seems we stumbled apoun an old indianburial site we all just shrugged it off and vowed not to tell anybody. or our whole sector would have been shut down. not really a tree hugger story but just the same.

I'm not real big on the death deal or memories of those who leave this earth. I mean when I die I'll be burnt to a crisp and I won't even have a head stone because it means nothing to me. Did you guys add more dirt to the site to cover up the bones?

You guys will love/hate this....I was searching Google, looking for equipment pics, and came across this tree hugger Nazi site. Page after page of how to destroy heavy equipment. Fiqures, it's from California....what you guys out there have to deal with.
It's so well illustrated, it makes a good guide for maintenance too.
What a world.

Nutty website for treehuggers

I looked at that site. It is nuts. I'm surprised that they identify themselves because the cops would love to get their hands on these guys (as would we). This is pretty violent, not to mention illegal.

Development is an attack on life. Yours and the ones you love. It pollutes the water you drink, poisons the food you eat and the air you breath ("Every cancer is a homicide" - The Coup). Cancer and many other diseases are a by-product of development/civilization. Therefore the destruction of bulldozers (and other heavy machinery), the burning of track "homes" under construction, smashing windows at a construction companies offices are all acts of self-defense. They are acts to protect the wild and free. Acts that protect an ecologically balanced future, where we can live happy healthy lives. If we fail to act we are surely doomed. So gather your strength and courage, we've got a world at stake and the fate of all.

I don't know if I would want to disturb graves. Everybody should rest in peace. If they have to move graves that's alright but they should be reburied somewhere else.

Idiots, they think they are saving the planet by burning vehicles and equipment, when in reality, those toxic gases and smoke are creating even more harm to mother nature!!!!!! :lmao

alan627b · May 8, 2008

I found the main part I was referring to...reading all that other crap will just give you a headache...I sometimes feel bad, trandforming a nice farm into another neighborhood I can't afford to and wouldn't want to live in...but it's what we do.
But the kind of BS these people believe in, the sort of the "end working, stop progress, destroy civilization and go back to living in caves" mentality just infuriates me.
I don't believe the "Earth First, We'll Stripmine the Other Planets Later" mentality either, but come on...
Anyhow, here's the main section I was referring to.

Long Winded Diatribe....

:Banghead It's interesting to think these nuts want to destroy the one country you can live in that gives you the freedom to print this sort of xxxxxxxx without unfair prosecution from the law....:usa
I'm betting that most of these nuts are offspring of fairly well off upper class priveledged people, who didn't really like working for a living or even knowing the satisfaction of creating or doing anything constuctive.
Saving the Earth must be sort of a religion to these people, and anything they do is OK as long as it's for the cause...notice I said religion, not faith!
I ponder, the website they have is on a computer (gasp!) that uses electricity (horrors!) that was generated by either coal burning or nuclear energy (for shame)......so that makes them guilty of harming the environment too! Hypocrites.
And I'll bet they drive a Chevy Suburban or some SUV that get's 6 mpg, alone, to their club meetings to get exhalted together.....
I think I'll stop now.

Probably the best thing to do if you get confronted by environmental protesters is to ignore them and go about your business. Unless they break the law then let the cops handle it. If you go after them you can get in trouble and give them free publicity, which is exactly what they want. Most people I know around here who criticize us for building things also are quick to criticize you if you become unemployed, don't they understand if there is nothing to build that is exactly where we will be?

Deere9670 · May 8, 2008

I bet they ride in a hudge bus that gets 5mpgs as well!! I read the part about the tree sitting on there, and if I was doing a land clearing project, running a D8, well I guess I just might not have seen them up there with the d8 smoking thick black diesel smoke all over!!

Sorry about the BS word, Steve....

A couple months ago I was leaving Victoria on my way to Nanaimo with my fifth wheel in tow behind my diesel. There was group protesting a new development project that was just getting started and they were clearing the trees next to the highway. The traffic was backed up and I ended up stopping right next to the protesters. They had all the usual signs trying to get it shut down. Most were glaring at me, my truck was an obvious construction work truck with the slip tank in the back and all. I was sitting there thinking...where do you guys think YOU live? How was your subdivision built? How many of you will buy a house here when it's finished? Or your kids later? What makes it ok for you to have a home but no one else? Well one sign right next to me read "Honk if you love oxygen!" The temptation was to much...I reved my truck up and gave em a nice big shot of black smoke

There was not one person except the protesters of course that didn't bust out laughing

its funny they never once mention how crazy some of the owner/operators are...if we leave equipment in a "shady" area over a weekend or something, i will drive by it whenever i am in the area...we do some jobs in town where the crime is higher, so when i pass through town i go a little out of the way to make sure it is still ok and christ help someone if they are "monkey wrenching"

i particularly liked this line "Large machines, in the form of earth moving and logging equipment and haul trucks, are the most pervasive tools of land rape." I almost spit the soup i'm eating all over the keyboard when i read that

bobcat ron · May 8, 2008

Most of the protesters around the Lower Mainland are just a bunch of street bums and welfare idiots, they smell and look like hell and obviously are in their dire situation due to the over priced education they paid for.

humboldt deere · May 8, 2008

I would like to see a certain amount forests conserved for future mankind just like I'm sure most of you guys do. When I see people standing up for responsible land stewardship I think that is fine because without anybody caring I guarantee some timber companys would cut all their forests and subdivide for development. If you guys are following the pacific lumber bankruptcy deal you will know what I am talking about. With that said when I read literature about how to destroy somebodys machinery or vandalize real estate it makes me furious. When you hear about one of these protesters having a tree fell on them or a log truck run them over I just don't care, because as I see it their the biggest threat to mankind.

treeman · May 8, 2008

I agree with you totally humboldt deere. My Dad and I aren't by any means a major tree hugger. We love trees and all of that. (One part is because that's how we make our money, installing and pruning them!!) But we also like to see our trees and other tree live. Often too many times we see toped tree around here, which is illegal to do here on city owned land, so many times we have to report it.

And as far as stories go, I don't have anything major. Dad might have seen some crazy stuff, but so far nothing from me.
