i've seen it before but it's well worth watching again. it's funny, i consider myself to be a hard working guy but compared to those guys i'm an absolute baby. there's just something about watchin a guy tie a rope around his waist climb 200' up a tree and cut off the top 100' with an axe that'll humble ya.

oh, he also probably made like 10 cents that day. very humbling to say the least...

Two things stand out for me. The surveyor in the beginning (matches the last three letters of my login)
And I want a pair of trousers like the fellow has at 1min 58 sec in the movie!!

Great stuff Lance T

i want that steam powered cross cut saw ! . i like how they used the standing redwood tree and made it into a boom for moving the logs.

An aweson example of what it took to build our nation. Also a good reason for all of us to document our logging adventures and some of the other can do things that we do everyday. Someone some day is going to look at this and say much the same we are saying now.

I have taken a camera with me all my life and have been able to keep a record of what we as a family have accomplished so for in our life time.

Stay safe guys.

thanks for posting

Great video!

One of the first things I noticed after the cutter got up the tree and started chopping the top off was "how close to the rope that axe was coming"!

After all, that's his lifeline!
