(early on on our property, I cut a number of trees around the house and up on the neighbors place. No shortage of old nails and wire and so on)

At any rate, spikers tell cutters that the trees are spiked; that's kind of the whole point, is saving the trees. So it's an act of theft, really, in my book.

If someone is hurt/killed by a spike, [bleep] throw the book at the bastard who spiked it. I just can't see it as "terrorism". That word is toxic. It [bleep] up what it touches. smile



Enjoy making wood.
