  • see that guy riding in on a turn? crazy fuckers! god bless the good ol boys. we don't know shit compared to what they've seen.

  • wow, mental. I look at the huge old growth stumps with the springboard notches, the realize they used hand saws and clearcut the entire area by hand. I see pictures of the old loggers and they weren't huge muscle men, just ordinary looking guys who must have worked their asses off.

  • wow, total respect :D

  • That's nothing. A headstand on top of their spar pole 150 ft. up, however...

  • Listen to the bloke at the end...' Fucken 'Ell' in hushed tones.

  • Good footage they where much tuffer and stronger

  • Tao PaiPai fly with a tree ! :))

  • haha unreal that guy riding in on a drag like that no wonder lots of loggers used to die crazy old fuckers anyway! cool footage tho

  • OSHA would have loved seeing that guy rideing on that log, not only that it just is'nt too smart I worked in the woods using cables bigger than those and seen them snap like rubber bands or a cable clamp came loose or broke no wonder we need a outfit like osha people can't think on there own.

  • oh, and we don't ride rigging into the landing anymore.. we walk.

  • @woody88able blocks and straps still weigh what they used to.. the same with 100 feet of strawline.. the hills are steeper, the setting are smaller and the yarders are faster.. any old time hooker think they know what busting a gut is please,, come hook on a grapple yarder for the day.. we'll set your fantasy about the tough old guy straight.. buttons?? ya, I have 5 on my rain jacket..

  • Nice old footage' them ol'boys knew how to tackle a tree, buck'n up
