N they climb trees and live in tents there and stuff. Seems like a massive waste of time to me.

    With that said, tree spiking injures working class sawmill workers cuz the lumber companies care about as much about employee safety as they do natural resources

      idk how to square that.

      if the jacks collaborated and refused to work when spiking is disclosed or something?

        Looks like one guy got hurt badly by it once (which is also the only reported injury), and that was used to justify making it a federal felony. So maybe just put up warning signs if you're interested in doing this, I guess? I wouldn't want to hurt a worker while trying to prevent resource extraction.

          Why wouldn't you put up signs? The whole point is to stop the trees from being logged

            :shrug-outta-hecks: You'd think it'd be obvious. You don't have to spike every tree to convince them to move on that way.

              Hell, you might not even have to spike any trees. You could just bluff em if all you need to do is buy time.

      it does, but like a little eco terrorism ain't exactly there to play nice. once people get hurt, they're going to stop the logging pretty fast. I'd say tell them you're gonna do it, but if they continue I mean this is a fight not a polite discussion
