    That's right, OSHA should be enforcing the Z; don't know how I could forget. The thing is, I think the A300 should be codified into law too. Trees are more valuable than dogs, and the law prohibits you from abusing your dog. Obviously, nobody will see what happens to your dog behind closed...

    100%, but just like heavy rigging, I think it's just good prudence to err on the side of caution. One thing I have come to appreciate about my local legislators is that they like to write in this clause at the end of each codified law that states that there is no 'duty to enforce'. In other...

    While I fundamentally agree, what are your thoughts on my example regarding wiring up your lonely cabin in the woods? What happens when some asshole cheaps out on their wire, and ends up setting their house on fire, and then the forest fire burns down your house? What about the value of that...

    I hate rules regulations as much as the next guy, but you guys do understand that the rules weren't really designed with you guys in mind, right? They are written as a means of accounting for the lowest common denominators. You know... idiots. We can't let idiots build shitty houses that may...

    I think that the ISA is a bit of a racket, but I also believe that some people need to be protected from themselves, and some people need to be protected from scammers and conmen. I hate the idea of telling people what they can and can't do, but there are so many assholes that will fuck things...

    But if they don't spend the effort to protect the certs, then the certs value will fade out of existence.

    Lots of excellent advice here. all those are my favorite spots too. Rockefeller picked a good one to put his name on for sure.

    Visiting The Redwoods (Crescent City?)

    It's worth noting that Crescent City is only as big as it is because it's the city that houses the workforce for Pelican Bay State Prison, a notorious super max security facility. Also. as epic as the National/State Park is, don't miss Humboldt Redwoods State Park.

    Visiting The Redwoods (Crescent City?)

    Arcata will have the best balance of accomodations, food, walkability, centrality to the parks, walkability. I like staying Friday night at the Hotel Arcata so that you can step out the front door into the Saturday farmers market. I think it might be too early in the season, but if you are...

    Visiting The Redwoods (Crescent City?)

    So, long story short, I think Arcata is probably what you're after; very central to the different redwood areas. How long will you guys be in the area? Most of the towns aren't much to walk around in, except Arcata, but if you're into staying in a few different places during your stay, it can...

    I know this subject well, and will give you a full write up after I get some coffee going here. Let me start by asking how you will be travelling. Road trip, or flying and renting a car?

    Ban bamboo.

    If it works in good draining, sandy soil, I expect that heavier soil would work at least as well. That's a good one for sure; I'll keep it in mind.
