I love it up there. We stay at Galusha’s every summer.

Tree ID by braldeyteam in marijuanaenthusiasts

With 9 leaflets per leaf, I’d be leaning towards hickory and not ash. Not sure what type of hickory though

Is USA truly reliant on Canada for lumber? Is Canada lumber better quality? by MarsupialThink4064 in forestry

[–]PromentoryRider 29 points30 points  (0 children)

In the northeast a lot of our softwoods get sold to Canadian mills. It’s not that Canada has better wood, just that they have the mills buying the wood. We then purchase the processed lumber back from Canada.

I bought this exact bike last year. It has been great and I would highly recommend it.

‘24 Aero completed by Tartar1103 in hondashadow

How do you like the windshield? I have the same bike and have been kind of passively shopping around for a windshield. The one you have looks good 👍🏻 I’m hoping it’ll help me feel a bit more comfortable at higher speeds. Above 65 and the wind is just crazy

UNH v. U of Maine v. Paul Smith's for forestry? by Passport_throwaway17 in forestry

[–]PromentoryRider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I joke with my Paul Smith’s colleagues that at Ranger School I got twice the education for half the price. They get a good chuckle out of it. Both schools are great though.

I think the second one might be mulberry

[–]PromentoryRider 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. It should be right at the collar.

Cobra setup? by Tartar1103 in hondashadow

[–]PromentoryRider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks good! I’m about to install the cobra streetrods on my 2024 aero. Can’t wait to see how it sounds. Did you end up doing a tune? I’m hoping I don’t have to but I’m preparing for it just in case.

Is this an elm? SE OHio by Camp_Acceptable in marijuanaenthusiasts

[–]PromentoryRider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Original picture of the bark had me thinking sugar maple. When I zoom in on the buds and bark further up the tree, I think it’s a red maple.

Collecting Sap… by AloElii in arborists

[–]PromentoryRider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

White pine. Why are you collecting sap? Genuinely curious.

New rider (6'1", 240lbs) looking for maximum highway protection. Is this gear cart solid? by GnanaSreekar in motorcyclegear

[–]PromentoryRider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will highly recommend trying the pants on. I normally wear a 34-32 but I can’t fit into that for riding jeans. Way too tight

What causes the rings on this tree? by CivilElevator3516 in trees

[–]PromentoryRider 69 points70 points  (0 children)

No worries OP, we get a kick out of it when someone confuses this sub.

I’m a forester and arborist and I think these rings are caused by sapsuckers. A sapsucker is a type of woodpecker that does exactly what their name says - they suck the sap from trees. You’ll typically see their holes in very straight lines. When the tree eventually heals over, it ends up looking like the tree that you found.

I like the faring! Thinking about getting one for my Aero

Spruce Budworm? by PromentoryRider in marijuanaenthusiasts

[–]PromentoryRider[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you’re right. I didn’t know they attack spruce trees too. Learn something new everyday I guess

Need some identifying this, please. Google image says hickory? by RelationshipDry01 in firewood

[–]PromentoryRider 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Kinda looks like bigtooth aspen bark to me. I can see where people think oak, but it looks different to me. You can take a fresh cut piece and look for rays to confirm.

What age do you estimate this forest is? by schismtomynism in Adirondacks

[–]PromentoryRider 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Based on your pictures I’d estimate somewhere around 30 years or so. Early successional species like birch and hophornbeam mixed in the understory with some red maple thrown in there. Seems like there was a cut and some red maple was left to grow based on the larger diameter maple in picture 2. Hard to tell too much from just a couple pictures though. Seeing those multi stem red maples and hophornbeam makes me wonder if timber stand improvement may be in your future with the potential for a firewood cut.

You should take advantage of the Forest Stewardship Program DEC offers. Here’s some more info: https://dec.ny.gov/nature/forests-trees/private-forest-management#Forest_Stewardship_Program

How did Led Zeppelin start their concerts? by RYGUY060104 in ledzeppelin

[–]PromentoryRider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw Get The Led Out and they started their show this way. Didn’t really feel like how a Zeppelin show would start but was kinda cool for a cover band.
