Most definitely! There all the way to the Rockies! I grew up hunting the Klamath NWR and had family friends in K-falls and Lakeview. Also chased Chuckar out around Denio. Great country, but YOU must be ready to Self Rescue.

Where I grew up, they were called a wigwam burner. They were used to burn waste products left over from the manufacture of wood products in the lumber and plywood manufacturing industries.

The by products of lumber and plywood production are too valuable to burn now even if you could. Back in the late 80's when I was working for Weyerhaeuser we would send 1x4's to the chipper because they were worth more as chips for paper pulp than finished lumber. Now with oriented strand boards (OSB) the demand is even higher for wood chips now.

Spent many an hour helping my father pull lily pads (1x12x24) off green chain before they went to the Hog. SPI has most of their mills running Co-generation plants using the waste to make their own electricity. Back then my father was given permission to pull Trim Ends for use in his High School classroom. I’m glad to know that I could do the labor but along with irrigating it focused me on expanding my potential into engineering. I’m still thankful for the work experience, so I try to avoid doing the designs that “book engineers“ are infamous for.

This style of chipper was used at the Willamette industries Lebanon Oregon plywood plant.

Dayum! That thing STILL gives me the Heebee Jeebees! Almost lost my thumb to one in a plastic plant after college. We used it for grinding up old HDPE pipe for recycling. A big batch of heavy duty razors making little pieces from big pieces.
Im thankfully for a full bin and a fantastic Orthopedic Surgeon.

Willamette industries had a stud mill on Highway 20 between Lebanon and Sweet Home.
It had a chipper that would grind whole cull logs just as they came off the log truck.
Utilized a 1000 hp electric motor built by the Japanese company Mitutoyo.

Trenten Montero Passes Away After Injuries Suffered While Competing at Rodeo in Homedale, Idaho - News

Is there any video of the wreck? I looked and couldn't find anything but tributes etc.

"According to Trenten’s wife, Maria, who’s by his side with their brand new baby boy, Noah, who was just born a few days before this happened, Trenten’s injuries from the wreck included three fractured ribs, a fractured sternum, collapsed lung, bilateral pelvic fractures, a lacerated pancreas and spleen, and aortic aneurysm," Kendra added. She said he'd already been through several rounds of surgery, as well.”

I looked and no video I can find. Horse rolled on him and I‘m thinking when that happened the rigging broke his sternum and punctured the lung and possibly damaged the aorta?

Sad deal I remember him winning a round at the NFR I believe it was in 2019.

I think he was over here in Oregon at St. Paul in 2019. Damn! What a shame!

Not true of animals, though.

They are 'every male for itself' when the lions are chasing them or the hunters are moving in.

So that should get people asking themselves... "What kinds of refugees are we letting into the West?"

Because they are either coming here to wage war, or they are mere animals. Either way, this is why we need secure borders. Or a population ready to deal with a giant 5th column... or a lot of feral animals.

Just 'sayin.

every western country is being invaded and people fucked with. people too afraid to take matters into their own hands in case of repercussions from the pieces of shit that were selected to be in grubberment. one day the people will grow some, it will only happen when it affects them personally.

i personally want to restore my late fathers cement mixer. will come in handy i think knowing we have a river on the property.

I think about this from time to time. I have seen references and documents that suggest that speed limits are set "to what a reasonable person would consider safe". I find that idea odd given how many people seem to ignore speed limits. (Yes, I know some of you are going to say revenue but that's not my point).

There's actually engineering methods to survey and set speed limits. The 85th percentile rule is one of them and the most common.

There isn't a single speed limit in the US set that way which explains the massive disobedience.

That's what I've read. Also read the majority of drivers travel at whatever speed they feel comfortable. That is usually 5 - 10 over the posted...rarely at or less. I'm one of the majority. Ten over on tolls and interstates. Other roads it depends of traffic, population, etc. Small towns...the posted. Not one MPH over.

It's been my theory all along that speed limits are set for dysfunctional drivers that mirror Joe Biden's mental capabilities, while driving a vintage Datsun motorhome towing a 43' enclosed trailer full of Hunter's dead hookers and the full 10% of Ukrainian kickbacks in $20 bills.... with no trailer brakes.

Same here

Most interstates where I live are posted at 70, with a few 65s around major metro areas. The highway patrol will not even bother with less than 10 over unless they want you for some other reason.

I've driven by troopers at 75 and watched them literally track my car with a lidar, with no consequence. I've seen others do same at closer to 80 in a 70, same result.

I don't speed in town unless the limit is ridiculously low (35 on a 4 lane divided highway), and never in residential areas.

Today, based on my informal survey of a road I drive very often, the 85th percentile speed on I-75 between Dayton and Toledo, OH is 80 mph. That doesn't mean that 85% of the traffic is moving that fast. It means that 85% of the traffic is moving at 80 mph or less.

The posted on I4 from Orlando to Tampa is 55 to 70. Sometimes you can actually drive the posted...buy never fails, moderate to heavy traffic around rat world some azzhat in a Prius, Range Rover or BMW will pass in the breakdown or an exit lane at 80 plus.
