All I can say is thank God for the Power saw the skidder the bulldozer and the long truck and the knuckle boom

How many feet under water was it?

🙂What lovely narration in the above video. Now we know the biggest 2 factors for real as to what may have most inspired the building of infrastructure for what is called now the internet. It is called - Unpredictable cycles concerning prices for paper products and wood chip product made furniture product prices for making and selling office furniture too. Something which was so very challlenging to all of the secretaries, electricians and mechanics of the day too. That or what was sometimes affectionately called by children in todays world who are being careful not to say the g word in public instead figurative language things instead like - 2 strong men daddy long legs.

How is it that a big stone dam, a town hall, an opera hall, a fire house, and a library were built at the same time when the town had only 1,000 people? Why the mention of the orange order/masonic temple? And there was a fire, like every town and city at that time.

True story: Gus is still alive. He's 87.

Thank you Tom Foley and Gordie McBride for the beautiful narration. I have shared this video to our Fort Frances Mill Alumni on Facebook. So much history of Fort Frances and also of the Papermill.

Great video. Brief history of this wonderful place. I just visited last year end. Thank you.

I grew up in Blind River Ontario not too far from Michigan and it was a logging town.

I have 0 problem working a horse and it doing its chores around the farm. But if I owned the team pulling the load of logs and he swiped at my team like that. He'd have a problem right now and that would be me! Seriously!!!

played this video so much in Marten River we literally began to tell time by the length of the video "Two more Winter Camps until we close!" we'd say, lol

Tobacco addicts! 😢

Grandpa St John took my weasel pelts and me into Fort Frances to sell to the old fur traders, still very much in business, in 1963!

Wow this is real crazy. At 17:10 are they depicting that the boy had to take the horse out and kill it with some kind of explosive. Yikes

conan obrien...ugly voice

Can’t believe he kicked him Out at least give a first time warning how’s he supposed to know if it’s his first time

I was born and raised in Fort Frances Ontario, paradise. My grandmother had the concession at the arena and my grandmpa had a garage. Father ran cncp communication s and mother worked maternity nurse at Laverandre hospital. I plan on returning back home when I am 65. My dad Don Skinner was a bartender in the evening s at the Rainy lake hotel . A beautiful town and still is today.

From northwest Michigan myself. This is a way of life for some us. The few that's left are almost gone. Soon I'll be the patriarch of the family and as of lately my two sons could seem to care less where they came from and what it took to get to where they are. The world I knew as a kid seems like we were still living with dirt floors compared to the world today. Everything you could want and need is at the tip of your fingers. Just click and it's on its way. Smh. Can't say I like where things are headed. God be with us all.

100 logs a day? It would take a fair sized crew with hand saws to get out that much in big timber. I log with horses by myself with chainsaws and If I get 2000 bd ft in a day It calls for celebration. Maybe if it was small stuff, cedar or something 100 logs might be conceivable.

My grandfather did exactly this, in northern Ontario also, up until the early 1960s, most of the time as a teamster. Even after his logging days were over, he always had work horses until he died in the '70s. He was the toughest man I've ever known.

1:04 What the hell is wrong with you? The battle of Trafalgar took place 1805/10/21 not 1086 and the French and Spanish lost the battle not the British. Just making shit up are we? Not even a distorted version of history but the opposite of what really happened. Again, what the hell is wrong with you?

None of this in Ontario. Its in NYS's Adirondack Mountains.

Gone is the replica Trading Fort, gone are the Mills, gone is the old RL Hotel. Lots of parking downtown off main street though now.

This needs a revamp

Wanna be ice road trucker.

I don't see how the cook had the right to tell anyone they couldn't talk they were growing men for god sakes I like to think I would have stayed and finished my breakfast I would have said if your man enough to move me I'll go

Wild to see just how these people managed to move that much wood from the middle of nowhere. The dangers those folks faced on a day to day basis must have been crazy. Thank you for uploading this!

Here to leave the yearly comment

My great grandpa used to be a Logger but it was in Arizona and logged in sunrise in Arizona and worked at that logging camp till the day that more industrial logging companies had made the logging camp shut down and my uncle say that they also follow rules while eating supper or breakfast.

Was such a different world. Thank you for uploading this.

When Men were Men .

4 months only make $150 bucks they would have had to paid me more than that I know that wasn't quite a bit of money in that day but still not enough today a good timber cutter can cut 10,000 feet A day make $500 a day

@07:51 I like how the momma bear & the one cub are chowing down while the other cub is very apprehensive. The scared cub then buries themself under the momma bear’s belly but decided to finally join them. It’s so cute to watch them eat their treats. 🐻❤️🐾

Your nice man

So the horse doesn't take orders anymore we'll just blow it up with dynamite??

Linn tractor of Oval Wood Dish Corp. at the Adirondack Museum in the opening credits. They built these down the street from my house, I'm sort of a fan of them.

2022 lumber shortage wonder why? Paper forgive them.

Admiral Lord Nelson beat French Admiral Villeneuve at the Battle of Trafalgar

Awesome video. 👍 Very beautiful. 🐻 ❤ 🐻 ❤ 🐻

I'm still trying to figure out where on Rainy Lake this was... 'tween Brule Narrows and Kettle Falls?... or west of the Narrows?... or N of Jackfish Bay? Can't see landmarks in this vintage video.

That food is not exactly good for them.

What a dumb ass putting the food in his mouth like that, for what, I swear people get dumber & dumber, but what do you expect from a canadian.

none of this video was filmed in ontario, its all from newyork

I was there with my dad! Brian Bowes! This is a wild memory.

Is there any way someone could fix the audio?

I hate that guy: All what he does - preparing the bears to be shot when they would com for food for somebody else< who has no idea that they used to people

Between the guys voice and the bears eating noises, this video is straight-up unintentional ASMR.

This is not a good idea. You can do it. With black bears. Because usually there not meat eaters. But grizzly bears are all together different. But even a black bear can get agitated and attack,,, its just not good for human or bear,,,

I was born here in Fort Frances, very proud

Stupid people commenting that the bears trust him and he protects them, the day some one gets mauled or killed because one of these bear gets in some else's yard and get another reaction
