You guys must have broken keyboards. Either that or your typing is just really bad.

Not in the Eastern US. I can truthfully say you best have a tent plus food for several weeks. Unless the cable(telephone) is cut it can lay on the ground for years. Telephone maintenance splicers NEVER go in the woods out of sight of their truck.:phone:

The pole you would be hacking down would probably be a transmission pole and the voltage would be at least 34Kv but more likely 115 Kv or 345Kv or higher. That voltage going to ground looks like a bomb going off, whats more, the step voltage could be deadly out for quite a distance. It gets better because dispatch will "shoot" the line after it shows a fault and if you are still in the area you could take another shock. Yeah, you might get found but it might not be in the condition you would like to be found.

Pretty much my thoughts also. Not to mention the fact that many line crews can be on the unsympathetic side when they find out that you cut the line down. Nothing says they have to give you a ride home. I would more likely to just point you in the right direction and tell you to scram. (Sorry sir, I am not allowed to take noncompany personnel in my vehicle. If you walk that way about 50 miles, you should find the road). ;)

I wonder how long it would take to cut through a pole with a SAK?

I have a friend that owns a telephone pole in town.She hit it with her car and the pole snapped.The broken piece just stuck in the ground supported by the wires.The electric company billed her insurance for its replacement.I tell Kate she should charge people for putting up yard sale signs on her pole.

Yard sale signs and the people that nail them on utility poles should be fined and
beaten severely about the head. I always enjoyed picking my way with hooks, not to mention a good chance of falling:smash::smash::smash:

Did this "wilderness survival instructor" tell you how you were supposed to fell the power "pole"?

C'mon. That's a no-brainer. :innocent:

Hint: You can do it with a length of paracord and two sticks.

Unless it's to pick mushrooms or blackberries. And if you see a splicer headed to the woods with this month's issue of the IBEW Journal.....don't ask.

Wow! 50 posts and only one serious response. Is that a record?

I think if the pole was wooden it might serve many purposes. Besides catchin the forest on fire, no need for a bowdrill here, and bringing water, eventually, from the fire dept/ forest service.. Maybe it has ceramic insulators that could be chipped into arrowheads/ spearheads. etc. The wire and/ or insulation might make excellent cordage too. Any metal pieces could possibly be ground to a point or used as hooks/ sinkers for fishing. The pole itself could be split and small pieces/ splinters would make great shafts for spears. Maybe the preserving pitch could be heated/ scraped out of the pole and used as glue, etc....

Not to mention all the critters that would be making haste to get out of the burning forest. You could set up snares and probably just club em as they ran for their lives confused by the smoke and flames.

I agree. Always seemed the worse ones were on the corner of the lot, over a durned picket fence.:sneaky2:

That has a pitbull that, of course, never bites.

Everyone that puts a nail in a wooden pole should be forced to climb it. They'd gain a new found respect in no time.
