Trees and choppers.
Today Molly and I rode past a place that was using helicopters to move Christmas trees.
I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
A Bell 212 uses about 2gals/min flying in a straight line, so you'd have to assume more than that when flying around a farm and using a ground hover and picking up small trees.
I'm surprised they can still make a profit by the time you add the trucking, labor, 'choppers, etc...
Who knew?

yeah, xmas really sucks
Reminds me of the Nam. That LZ is hot! Charlie everywhere!
Who knew, indeed. That's just nonsense.
My tree is plastic and was made in China. I put it in a box every year and re-use it. I can't decide if that's any better or not but I know one thing for sure: Burl Ives is king.
I do not know which has the greatest environmental / social justics impact: plastic fabricated by seven year olds and shipped all the way to your local tienda or local trees produced my immigrant labor? I do know that helis are used to protect wet clay based soils from compaction. there is option 3: go to the woods, enjoy a little whiskey with people you love and help reduce ladder fuels. All which can be composted after the holidays.
Nicole FTW!

Full Throttle Washington?
Fun Through Whistles?
Frightfully Tall Willie?
I was always under the impression that FTW only meant one thing:
FTW=Frank the Welder
For The Win! Gotta love the smell of dead xmas trees in the morning...or not.
FTW=For the Win...thanks Mike. I live and learn.
i like fun through whistles ~ or to stay on theme ~ whiskey. am always keen to provide forester/wildlife bio./bike geek perspective.
Thar's gold in them thar trees.
I doubt helicopter-harvested trees are meant for Oregon homes -- think southern California, not Newberg.
