A lot of what is still being harvested is being shipped overseas while intentional scarcity is maintained within the US to both extract a higher premium on the lumber itself, and hedge against intrinsic lockdown risks which would threaten to age said lumber past it's expiry. Believe it or not, wood is an expirable product, and no one wants to see millions of dollars in inventory loss two years in a row, so the wood they have had to sit on for the past year has higher carrying costs due to it occupying warehousing space for a longer period of time than what had been the "normal" precovid, and the hiking of price is used to offset those increased carrying costs.

As they say: "there is no free lunch" and no one is selling product for below cost; price being a function of cost, of course.

Everyone should've just told the government to fuck themselves when the can was kicked past "flattening the curve" to outright "elimination" to "until the vaccine" to "until 90% have taken the vaccine".

All the shut it all down "if you would just wear the mask" and vote in a geriatric retard enthusiasts deserve this. Wait till the fed has to announce the inflation numbers by the end of year ;)

To circle back onto the forest fires debacle, it's a well known fact that a forest fire is necessary to activate the germination of the sitka spruce seed bank, in a few years when the forests recover from your antics, they'll have more suitable lumber than they had before, and at a lesser cost, because setting up a controlled burn in PNW is helluva lot more expensive then wantonly burning the forest down in an uncontrolled manner

I literally couldn't read this thread. And never think about lumber. I just think it's cool wood can be bleached in hydrogen peroxide with sunlight.

A lot of people on here are in denial about the fact that I was a lumberjack up until the pandemic. I did more climbing than tree-felling because climbers are more rare, so you might have 3 climbers, and 15 regular loggers, so I spent less time actually on the ground so to speak.

But I used to love custom painting the company chainsaws to keep other crews from stealing them off of our trucks. I got pretty good at it too NGL.

(the name on this one was actually inspired by EverQuest, but at this time I didn't even know about P99, the game was something that I still always thought about even after 16+ years of not playing it.)
