Another take on planters

Mark and Calum are eternal opponents on OLN Canada's Road Hockey Rumble. In the second episode, in Prince George BC, Mark recruited some loggers for his team, while Calum, who spent many years in town, went the treeplanter way. Here's what Mark thinks of planters:



And here's Calum reply:



For your information, Team Planter destroyed Team Chopper 13-2! But I'll concede that Calum had the recruiting advantage as he knew people in town...Whatever, planters are better!

Ed's back at camp...

Here's some unseen footage from Ed Robertson's treeplanting experience for his OLN TV show, Ed's Up.

After a hard day pounding trees to reach his PB (personal best), Ed enjoys the rewards of a bush camp, a nice swim, some music and chilling around a campfire...and his cameraman enjoys a few shots at some almost barenaked ladies! (Okay, bad one)



Nope, they didn't kick him out right after...

Enjoy!

Ed's Up: Tree-planting

Here's Barenaked Ladies' Ed Robertson planting trees for a day for his OLN TV show "Ed's Up". He went to a Outland camp in Northern Manitoba, Tolco, under Jamie Nicholls supervision. My good friend Laura Preston (or LKP) will be the tree quality assessor (or checker) there next year.

It sums up "Eastern and Central Canada" (i.e. Non-British-Columbia) planting pretty well. But it remains a TV show, and a few things were scripted (confirmed by LKP). Mostly the way rookies feel during their first days on the block, having no idea what they are doing and why they are here. Listen to what planter Cian McMahon has to say. Pretty much sums up your mental state up there.
