Emanate Downfall due to Inner Urban Sloth!

It saddens me to sit back and watch the inner urban sloth consume. In the last few years I have watched as huge slots of natural flat lands with patches of woods were slaughtered and reduced to a concrete urban dead zone. No More Mushrooms! I have watched as acre's of lush Forest lands have been reduced to unsightly business parks full of Dollar Stores and Home Depot's. No More Mushrooms! I have watched as lands around me become the inner urban sloth that I have so desperately avoided. No More Mushrooms!
It just kills me to sit back and watch as the lands that we need to protect and respect are vanishing before our eyes. Do you remember when you were young and life seemed to move by so slowly and you were in aw with all the Natural Beauty? I have been so fortunate in my life to see the lands I have seen and to go to the places I have gone.
The point I'm trying to make here is ....
Its getting awfully damn hard to Hunt for Hunting spots!

I was dwelling on this very subject an hour ago driving down the highway heading back to the house. Looking at all the cars and roads and fences almost made me queezy. I'm not old enough to remember that slow life style but I got a taste of it when I went to school way back in the hills and hollers. I kinda got used to the Cullowhee life and now Raleigh makes me sick. I began to think of the myans (I think it was them) and how they saw the devastation they caused to their environment and just decided to decivilize and revert to a primative life style. Makes me wish we could do the same.

I know where you're coming from YESSUP.
In my area they have signs up on my hunting grounds, with notices about them cutting down trees, bulldozing, etc. I feel like hiding in the woods, which are my home, and blowing up some tractors. The bastards 
Kill them all I say!

I feel you on this one Yessup. I also live in the Houston area. About 2 years ago I had five active fields to go to but now ALL of them have been leveled and made into neighborhoods. Katy(where I grew up) used to be lush country side, but now greedy land owners have sold their property and turn it into a concrete hell

My favorite hunting spot for Matsutake was clear cut a few years ago to make a fucking parking lot for a ski area. Out of thousands of acres of possible forest area they somehow managed to find the most productive 3 or 4 acres and destroy it.
Happy mushrooming!

Something that would be functionally similar to tree spiking is gravely needed to provide a tactical method of guerilla resistance to land development. Both to slow the onslaught and more importantly spark conscious examination of the matter among the sheople. Monkey wrenching is risky but a little C12H22O1 in the blood of leviathans’ machines of destruction is fun and inexpensive. georgem
