I have the Chene solid cypress color waders for several months now and they have been good so far. Great quality and good fit.

I use mine all the time at my camp, even outside of hunting season due to sketchy areas around our boat lunch.

How do y'all pronounce Chene? It sounds like most people say "shin" which I do not think is correct for oak in french.

Maybe ask if they need help, instead of being an axxhole.

If you are looking for aluminum, I suggest Seaark.

Husky 14" chainsaw and 10" pole saw. No issues. Both have been good. They use the same battery.

Yes its real. Our newer work truck wont shift unless your seat belt is on.

What happens if the seat belt malfunctions? I just cant drive the truck

2026 F250 here. You can disable the seatbelt warning with a simple trick.
Also, FORScan allows you to change a lot of settings on the truck.

We stayed at Marriott Lexington Griffin Gate just north of downtown Lexington. Booked a tour with a small group through Central Kentucky Tours. The guide picked us up at the hotel. The tour went to Woodford, Four Roses, and ended at Buffalo Trace. The next day on the way back to Tennessee, we stopped at Maker's Mark.

The night before the tour we had a great dinner at Dudley's On Short in Lexington.

ETA: I have been to Louisville several times and not a fan. Lexington is nice.

[embed]Yep. It's a high-end, master-planned neighborhood off Crockett Road near Wilson Pike.[/embed]

I live less than a mile from there. Bunch of transplants in that neighborhood. I suspect most are from California. They all come speeding in and out of the roundabout on Crockett Road.

Do you mind telling me the timber consultants names? The one I heard back from is Jonathon Boggs.

I have also been contacted by the Tennessee White Oak initiative to do a free management plan, but I think they are more interested in landowners setting up a land trust.

FYI - my property is between Parsons and I-40.

I am in a similar situation and also in TN (property in Decatur Co). I contacted Pete Moditz with the state. He said they are short on foresters and he was working 5 counties. He did provide a list of private foresters and timber consultants.

I reached out to 4 foresters and only heard back from one who was booked up. He gave me this for an estimate: average cost of an appraisal is $12-$15/forested acre and if you want a detailed plan to apply for cost share practices another 5 dollars/acre.

I can send you the list if you want to provide your email. Also, interested in what you fine out.
