Joe first talks with our tour guide Ed Nelson about the history of the center itself which is a replica of an old logging camp. We visit the Company Office where Ed tells us about all the different jobs at the camp and the pay that goes with them. then it is on to the bunk house where he tells us about the daily schedule of the camp workers and the three big rules:
No gambling
No women
No alcohol
As all three of these activities cause fighting.
We then visit the "dingle" or cook supply storage room off the kitchen. Then on to the kitchen where the camp cook tells us everything we want to know about the meals, preparation, cookstoves and implements. The cook and her helpers need to provide 4000-5000 calories per day per man. We also get a glimpse of the women's bunk room right next to the kitchen.
We hear from about current programming at the center which includes:
Naturalist, Folk School, Wildlife, Kayaking and Biking Naturalist, all geared to connecting people to the forest and the forestry history of Northern Minnesota. He also talks about upcoming developments a the center.
He also describes all of the activities that bring people to recreate in the area: ice fishing, snow mobiling, snow shoeing, skiing, dog sledding and more.
Lastly we watch teams of draft horses and teamsters skidding logs, loading logging carts and building a giant log pyramid.

My grandpa and uncle owned a logging camp in the 1930s until 1962 in northerner Itasca County. Dad has many great stories of life in the camp. They had a sawmill there too. I've tried to capture some of it on my channel. Great job on the video. I've been to the center a few times.
Fascinating - makes me want to visit Minnesota 👍
Go for it!
0:59 _"The Minnesota _*_Hysterical_*_ Society"_ ... I agree brother, sometimes they are hysterical! haha ha!
Very interesting, 👌 keeping these knowledges for generations to come, is a duty that history will benefit all of ours, for respect and wisdom from heritage of ancestors...thanks for your inspiring efforts to bring to us such historical practice of a not long time ago... still perhaps, adaptable, after a needed "reset" 👏 🧙♂️
The current paradigm is so predatory and consumptive that it can not go in forever
I visited this place a couple of times now. It's worth it. Probably the way it would have made my living back in the day.
Great way of doing things. Just would have being great if you would have shown how to fix the wire cable to roll the log on the wagon. That way the know how would have been pass. I'm wondering how it was all attach, I think I know but I'm not 100% sure ? I would have pass the cables fix to the wagon under the log and the ones to the horses over the log so it could have make a torque on the periphery of the log and make it roll on the angle lifter log, but maybe I'm wrong ?
I agree with you, they should hooked the cable over the log to roll it onto the wagon.
that was fantastic thank you
My uncle was a camp cook before the Second World War and after he spoke of life in camps when I was a boy
I enjoyed listening to that lady talk, she has a cool accent
We love that place
We would skid logs out of river bottoms in the winter with a horse.
Those Greys at 21:30 are BIG or Ed is not so big?? Nice!
Alot of dingles where rafts and the would be pulled ashore
Forget bike trails. Give me living history and horse trails.
Some nice teams
Good job ur
The cook could keep the cook stove going all night just throw a log on every so often hear and their keep a small fire going you dont need to load it all night. In are house wee have a big stove and we never load it are house would be 120 so we just throw a log on hear and their .
Cook made good money and depending on the camp the cook was rule maker sead what went
Have the worst name for food prunes are horable but they are realy good for you
Love this channel, but camera work is literally making me nauseous.
YEP..Now nobody wants to work like that.....unless they get paid....nobody wants to do anything out of kindness.. way too greedy...and selfish..
