C'mon you guys! I'm in the land of the tall cedar. Why would I want
to
mess with reeds, branches, etc. I'll just chop me a big old cedar,
hollow it out, and go for a quick paddle... with 10 or 12 buddlies.

I assume your buddies are not tree-huggers?

Now if the tree is in the public forest, you have to also look out for
public servants with thick ticket pads that they issue for cutting down
trees.

So if you insist, you will probably want to restrict yourself to
cutting down one of your own trees on your own acreage up there. Then
you only have to worry about it landing on you, your car, your house,
your neighbors... Anyway you get my drift, you might want to stick with
reeds!

Besides, for some one that is power-tool challenged, can you say chain
saw? TnT
