they go out into the forest and chop it down...

Do you all live far from a forest, 'thul?

Also, when you say 'forest' what do you mean exactly? I have a picture of a forest in my mind but imagine it doesn't match at all with what you are intending to convey. Do you call 'forest' what we in Australia (or, at least, me, knowing Nuytsia and others may call it something different! ) would call 'scrub'...any small or large area of land simply covered with trees and undergrowth etc?'

A true 'forest' in Australia, to my way of thinking, is something I would find only on the coast somewhere, in the form of a rainforest. Even a structured planting of trees, like is seen around Beerwah down near the Sunshine Coast, I personally would probably term as a tree plantation or such. Aside from a rainforest, I picture a forest as something found entirely overseas, unassociated with Australia at all, and forested, mountainous regions of the US and Canada come to mind.

Sorry...everyone who reads this is probably going to go ...a forest is a forest, Farseer!

ps 'thul, with your new measurements, your walking stick is my exact height (yes, I think I mentioned in my 100 questions that I need a step-ladder for everything!).
