Trees in the quake

Human design and engineering will never be a patch on nature and that what the good lord designed:icon14:

Excelent idea, but if a country such as Burma wont even allow western food aid in, they certainly wont let a team of chainsaw guys in!!

 

Never say never..

i responed to "I still find it quite amazing how far we are from achieving design akin to that found in the natural world" by lancs tree on this thread - we will never match the natural world:wave:

Burma was a different story, trees every where, if I had the resources i'd have liked to help the poor sods out..

 

A small team of skilled tree cutters, able to go out to disaster zones at short notice, has always been on my mind..

 

do you think there would be away of doing it through an existing aid source i.e. the Red Cross? Would be a great way of opening transport systems to open access for further aid. Also i saw a clip of some locals using a huge chainsaw surrounded by a crowd! It was bouncing about and the operator looked terrified. maybe even in a training capacity so such scenes are'nt repeated. Any ideas ?

The Seattle quake of about year 2001 was about a 6.5, I think.

 

Appx 25 miles from the epicenter, I removed a douglas fir that was at the top of a slope, and had taken on a 5-8 degree lean....found out it had core decay....
