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.
(Buzz Martin)

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.

Wow !

[@DanielBoonesloggingvideos]

That is so interesting. I have always been really intrigued by the had cutters ability to saw trees with the old misery whips.

Man needs to teach these kids work like this and why we’re all here today…hardest working men in the country…just gettin tools and to the tree would be more than half these powder puffs could bare…thanks Dan. My kinda bunch right here…

[@DanielBoonesloggingvideos]

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.

Don't repeatedly throw your saw chains onto gravel roads.
