@@deancj1 Safety makes for complacency. I can't tell you how many chap wearers are constantly knicking their chaps & replacing them every 6 months.

I almost like this film as it is almost romantic (contemporary music). The clearcutting of forests a clue as to what the unconscious consumption of material needs looks like. To those brave men and women who worked the earth to it's bones: mining, whaling, fishing, crabbing, warring, hunting, birthing, sailing, shipping, trucking, using the strength of the human body to wrestle, pull, prod, poke, explode, cut, chop, tear, capture and sneer at, may you know the perfection of God before, during and after said extraction of God's work. Amen (my sincere apology for dampening the mood for the pure joy of work, for which a man must not merely endure, but be grateful for). Be careful out there.
Feel Blessed and Privileged to have been able to work with my Grandad who was born in 1915 The Work Ethic And Skills that we learned from the old timers is not being passed on so much anymore this new generation don’t know what they’re missing out on 😎🍻
Your Grandfathers Grandfather said the same thing about him and his generation. You can read old newspapers dating back from the early-mid 1800s saying the same thing about the Edwardian generation, the silent generation, the boomers, etc. Every generation has always said the younger generation was entitled and lazy.
Done choking and A frame choking in Gold River in the 50's. This film brings back memories . Fred
oh man that would have been awesome to see.

I logged 25yrs ago in south Carolina. It was swampy land so I drove a huge skidder pulling logs. Still the most fun job I've ever had

"Not all logging is done in the sunshine" that made me laugh a little.
Ahhh! To be a sunshine logger. 🌞
Men are not made like this any more, very cool footage Boone! Too cool
Huh?
yes we are, just less of us
Great admiration for the men who did this hard work especially with all the dangers involved. Very good documentary on logging during this period.
Yes, it really shows how much the industry has evolved.
Just how many of us are left who remember rigging trees, moving sled rigs and only flying two 1-1/4 x 60 chokers?
I had a taste. Cold deck and swing. Also A-framed on the coast.

@@knotbumper I have some footage on VHS tapes. Gonna have to get it digitized.
Depending on how much footage you have on VHS it might be worth buying a DVDirect to convert them over to DVD

That knot on the climbing rope is called a cats paw.
