Hi, I'm writing in from Portland Oregon. I was part of the Eagle Creek Campaign before duing and after Horehound fell out of the Truth treesit and died this last spring.

Something I've learned from Horehound's death was that there are certain groundrules for tree sits, basically that people have got to be trained both medically and in at least medium level rigging, there should always be enabled comm devices and there should never be less than two people in a tree sit. And if those requirements can't be met you'd best switch to other tactics.

That kid lay dying for over twenty four hours until he was discovered by loggers. That ain't right. And I'm only airing it on a public forum because a lesson has got to be learned here, by everyone. Rigging training, Medical training. No less than two people. Or no tree sit. Any one of those conditions would've saved his life. Or at least not have left him dying all alone.

Our blessings and support and all the love we can manifest from the north. Please learn from this.
