This page serves as a online resource for myself and other foresters and forest engineers.
As much as we like to pride ourselves in our professional ability to prepare for a long distance, long-term project, I am willing to bet that there are other foresters who have found themselves lacking something at the field or the ‘satellite” office.
Besides simply forgetting something (which is bound to happen occasionally since there are so many things to remember to bring at times), planning reasonable contingencies sometimes might not be enough. For example, your paint gun tip might be jammed up 6 miles from the truck, yet you forgot to pack or are out of tips - or - you might have just accidentally broken off your external GPS antenna in a URX connector of a sealed unit - or - how about you notice a bubble in your compass that wasn’t there the last time you used it! - These things happen to all of us at times, as much as we try to forecast likelihood of events and prepare accordingly. The only way to prevent error is to prevent the activity in which an error is possible. Problem is, doing nothing is not an option.
So far I have been unsuccessful in the application of using a virtual resource to supply tangible goods logistically using virtual means. It maybe possible one day, but so far I am not aware of anyone else’s success at this either, so tools and tips I cannot supply here. However, below I have included some potentially useful conversions, rules, short-cut calculations and other information that may be difficult to find anywhere else outside of your office library.
If you find this handy, shoot me an e-mail!
