Hypothetically, would literal tree-hugging (i.e. chaining myself to a tree) be an effective method of protest and prevention? Would the loggers cut me down anyways? Just a random thought.

You’re gonna get labeled a terrorist and probably shot

The way to go is in the monkey wrenching book (forgot the full name:

You take steel bars, and cut them to size

Then you remove a piece of bark

Drill a hole into the tree

Put the steel rod in

Glue the bark back on

Do it at eye level-ish, that way you’re not hurting the worker with a snapping chain, instead damaging the lumber mill. Bigger damage anyways

What do we use when they start checking the trees with metal detectors?

I don’t think cinder blocks would work as well

If anything that’s time wasted having to check every tree. Makes their big tree harvesters slow way down
Iron bars are the old fashioned way, the modern method is a granite or concrete rod, not quite as good as iron but it’ll still fuck up a saw good
That’s actually addressed in the book as well, you can get hardened ceramic rods that work even better, they’re just a bit more expensive
