Fantastic! I thrive on logging history. This is one of the best videos I've seen on UA-cam and it's from right here in my home state!
Thanks Dillon for putting this on for us to watch
@michaelwhiteoldtimer7648 It's my pleasure, Michael! I'm glad you all enjoy it as well 👍🙏
This was great. I’m from the upper penninsula. My Dads family came from jolliette Quebec. To the Keweenaw penninsula. My grand father was born in lake linden. For unknown reason they moved back to the eastern part and became farmers .
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I really liked it too. Sounds like you have some very interesting family history 👍🙏
Thanks Bud. Pretty common amongst the people of up there.
That's when men really worked cutting trees. That's why I really appreciate lumberjacks. If it wasn't for lumberjacks. People wouldn't have homes, paper and other things that comes from wood
They really did a lot indeed! I believe so many people today, including myself at times, take things for granted. They really had to work hard for a living back then!
@@bluegrassoutdoors right. That's why when I see a logger. Or any one that works at a sawmill. I respect. I use to work at a sawmill for a long time. And done logging. Nether one is easy.
Thanks for sharing
@@nevertoopoortotour.3033 It's my pleasure 🙏
Absolutely brilliant men , those were men back then,unlike the wimps today with warm handlebars on their saws, 35hr. Week n lazy attitudes 😌
@gunterbecker8528 They were very hard workers indeed! It's very interesting to hear the old stories about them 🙏
Did you leave xpress, or are you still with them? Haven’t seen many updates about them in the last few months
I’m looking at going into that account, I have 3 years of food service delivery humping 45,000lbs on average 4 days a week, and I’m seeing the pay at US average 1700-2350/wk so thinking about coming.
I never got anywhere near $2350, but the minimum is $1700, as long as you are on time. I'm no longer with them. The home time is what made me leave. You never have a set schedule there. I enjoyed the job and the pay, though.
@@bluegrassoutdoors I totally understand that, home just for a reset is tough and basically takes your entire life away. My wife’s a nurse thank god and earns $2,000/wk, so together we’d be at about $3,700 or $7,400 bi-weekly. Might do it for a run
Great video DILLON. MAKES YOU APPRECIATE A GOOD CUTTING CHAIN SAW. WATCHING THIS MAKES CUTTING FIREWOOD SEEM LIKE A WALK IN THE PARK.
@garry9296 I'm glad you enjoyed it, Garry! I thought you would if you saw it. I really liked it too. You are very right! Those men worked hard! It's so much easier nowadays, thankfully. But it's very interesting to see how they did it then. It's good to hear from you, my friend, and I hope you have been well 🙏
