We were sharing video clips on the Forestry Forum to compliment posts and topics years before youtube existed, Internet videos were rare in the early years due to high bandwidth costs and slow connection speeds so quality could be low. They were mostly tucked into topics and hosted on our servers. I had to be careful, because in the early years if a video got popular, it could cost you. I had to take a log exploding video down once because it cost us a $1000 bandwidth bill.   That clip is included in this compilation of many other clips from our Forestry Forum's first 7 of our 25 years on the web.

Lots of stuff you may or may not have seen in this. If you see something you recognise, let us know in the comments there and here too!

Remember, you will have no idea wht each clip may be. You will find interest somewhere. :) Newer members, we had a lotta fun here over the years!

I can change my profile okay. No errors. If you can,t remove all the extra info in other fields and try.

Anything someone can design, I can sure figure out how to fix!
If I say it\\\\\\\'s going to take so long, multiply that by at least 3!
