   No, it wouldn't be viable given the millions of acres of forests. In some   
   cases it can be combined with commercial thinning but the problem is   
   having enough merchantable timber to sweeten the deal when the FS puts the   
   sale up.   
      
   It's also a two step process since they have to return to burn the slash   
   piles when conditions are suitable.
