Thread: WA - Collecting Firewood?

And when we go to Dwellingup next weekend Im giving Andy the match that will light the fire that will keep us all warm while we drink a lot of beer and sing fire songs and dance around the fire and we can sit around the fire and tell campfire stories and the fire up the boombox and heat up the dancefloor with somme fired up tunes and then when its time too fire up the landrovers the sparkplugs will create a spark that will create a fire in the bore that will create horsepower that brings to life the very reason we are here to fire off a few rounds about land rovers
READY AIM FIRE

This thread makes me want to buy a wood heater (would have to just burn **** outside with it cause its to friggin hot here to use), buy an old cadillac with no emission controls and an unusually large engine, run my airconditioner with the windows in my house open and play the dennis leary song Im an ******** at full volume.

Tank, you say you hate people using fire places at home because of the smell, thats a fair comment, but what about the people you are camping near that cant stand the smell of your fire. There is always someone that will get cranky with what someone else does, we understand what you are saying but it is not worth having a spit over because quite frankly what you see in your urban areas is nothing. Check out how much diesel a 797B rear dumper burns an hour and look at how many bits of gear that size run in a mine 24 hours a day 7 days a week whilst wondering what emision controls they use. Have a look at how many cars sit in a traffic jam in any major city and think about the fact that while they are sitting there ideling the catalayic converters are not running hot enough to burn the poisons effectivley so all of the vehicles are pumping out an absolute cocktail of poison for you to breath in, most of which cause cancer.

At the end of the day I prefer the smell of burning wood to exhaust fumes, none of its good for you as a matter of fact just breathing the air causes cancer so such is life .

So Frank I guess you don't want to buy my 85cc chainsaw. One thing that is worth considering is when there is a new subdivision they windrow the wood and burn it, one has to wonder about the sense in that. Why doesnt the Gov make the developers use wood merchants and mulcher operators to dispose of the wood.

Anyone got any seal pup eyes I can use as hub caps.

Frank, you obvioulsy know what your talking about and I thank you for your spirited opposition to the whole thing.

However, fire is mans greatest achievment and will always remain that way. Have you ever put your marshmellows in front of the LPG, have you ever sat romanticly staring into the dancing orange flame of the reverse cycle air conditioner?

Frank and any one agree's with you, YOU ARE RIGHT! but once again, NO ONE CARES!

Jeeeessss If I've got orange dancing flames coming outta my reverse cycle airconditioner (Just had two put in) Its time to evacuate and fire up the old pot belly.

Yet Frank is still yet to put his defence up, for all the emmission unfriendly vehicles he has owned

Its all about choice, I burn wood, I work in a sawmill, and every vehicle I own is a V8 .........That's my choice

Yet when I feel passionate about things like litter, I wont ATTACK someone, in such a manner, that is overbearing and intimidating......or repetative

Yea, ALL understand your point of view, yet you too, make choices that otheres aren't happy with.....You drive a 4x4.....uneconomical 4x4's, there is plenty of spastics who will try and bully YOU into believing their opinion and I'm sure you will think.......well that would be upto you
