      I agree, the soft parenting of today is gonna leave kids with no work ethic. I appreciate seeing hard work like this, makes me really thankful for how far the industry has come.

    We're the Northwest's unsung heroes,
    the backbone of this land...
    where there walks a timber faller
    we claim 'there walks a man' ...
    the riggin' crew and the sawmill boys
    are always puttin' us down,
    but they can't log 'em and they can't saw 'em
    if we don't cut 'em down.

    I have a friend whose dad started in the hand camps as a young man, and the average age was around 70. Shortly after powersaws showed up and many of the older cutters couldn’t adapt. After working their whole life and then suddenly stopping most passed away in the first year after stopping. What else is interesting is he was part of developing the techniques used today, such as Dutchman and other ways to manipulate the tree on the stump.

      Interesting about them dying soon after stopping. There is an interesting statistic about full-time career soldiers also. A majority die within the first five years after retirement.

    Not very realistic without a single cuss word in the whole movie.
    -It's hard to tell how old the workers were. Thry likely asked a few old timers to demonstrate the hand saw.
    A career in logging lasted about as long as a career in boxing for most.
