God bless HE, det cord, C4 and all those wonderful combinations of
RDX, PETN, HMX and other exotics. :)

mmmmm - 'splosions...

Chain saws are for sissies.

Det cord is the only way to remove small trees. For big ones, a shaped
charge and a little C-4 works wonders. :)

Remind me to tell you about the time I removed a tree stump, and about
two tons of rock and earth plus about six neighboring trees, by using
slightly too much AN and diesel - it's a funny story.


Friend grew up in Kansas. Bounty of 5 cents a head for crows. So they
decide to dynamite a roost tree. Toooooo much dynamite! He said they
strapped 1/2 sticks of a full case (All the farmers had a case or two for
blowing stumps and rocks) all over the tree. About 1 am they set it off.
Looked like a nuclear explosion he states. They were caught and chastised
and they could find enough of 1 bird for a bounty. Huge cottonwood made
into toothpicks. As to shaped charges, my brother used them in the Seabees
and they later was an industrial engineer for a company manufacturing them.
