Come along on another Alaskan adventure as we profile amazingly hard workers in the timber industry. Loggers are hearty and hardy, and the ones I know are true conservationists. I can’t wait for you to meet these lumberjacks!
During this Christmas season, do you ever wonder where you get many of your Christmas trees, firewood, packing boxes… shoot, just look around at everything timber touches and ask yourself who begins the production of these wood products? You’ll meet them on an exciting trip to an Afognak Island logging camp where our daughter learns even more about our family’s #1 lesson: tough work ethic and character will fulfill and sustain you.
Learn how the logging families live in such a remote part of God’s country and how they cherish the land that provides their livelihood. You’ll see how their reforestation efforts allow the forest regrowth rate to repeat a life cycle of new forest nearly every 20 years. These loggers actually care more about the sustainability of their forests than most anyone because they love their livelihood, they know America relies on our domestic timber industry for good jobs and economic security, they are inspired in the great outdoors, and many of them want their kids to get to grow up to be loggers. Basically, the good folks you’ll meet want to be allowed to do what they love to do and what anyone who lives among lumber and wood products rely on them to do for us.
In addition, come see Willow’s eyes open to a new rugged and rustic lifestyle. Her driving skills improve (?) before she undertakes a family’s rite of passage with an upcoming driver’s license test. Any parent can relate.
With only a couple more episodes to share, I promise you a fun and informative episode of “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” this Sunday night at 9pm ET/8c on TLC. Follow me there!
You can watch a preview of the episode

TROLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
More chicks should work with chainsaws; it’s character building. My hubby introduced me to a Poulan; we have two woodburning stoves; no forced air heating, a/c, etc. I bought him a Husqvarna Rancher.
We’re in upstate NY and wondering when the DEC will ban our very awesome sources of heat!!! It’s 14 degrees F and windchil of minus 5 but inside it’s a toasty 76. Oh and we live on a swamp, errr “wetland” so DEC is always looking over our shoulder when harvesting our heatsource.
Kate represents your MODERN woman(20-30 somethings); very much like the one my younger than me hubby DIVORCED!!! All prissy and expecting the world to worship her golden uterus.
Try on-line at www.finishline.com. I bought my son a VA Tech Hoodie (nice quality with embroidered logo) for $35 and free shipping. They also have NFL apparel...pretty good prices.
Thank you and a belated Merry Christmas!

Bristol paid 172K for her home. Cash.
The others can’t even get out of the gate and onto the track. A belated Merry Christmas!

requires shutting down a while, going get a drink of water and reflecting on what the hell you are doing
Amen.
It looked like she finished her back cut too soon. The hinge pulled.
Another great episode. I learn something every time. I have some serious respect for loggers now. Tough work!
Excuse me, but do you know how hard it is run to a family when you’re in politics? And guess what? Not every family raises their kids the same way. Palin deserves our support because she’s willing to hold nothing back going after the left.
What a Lady! I’ve come to the conclusion this Nation isn’t worthy enough to have her as President. Not only did she drop and buck a tree she also operated the loader. Now that might not seem like much but there’s only room in the cab for one person so it’s not like the operator was ready to take over if there was a problem.
Worse thing I ever did was get Mrs. GBC a Dewalt cordless drill. I'd come home from work only to find various parts of the house dismantled with instructions as to where they were supposed to go now...
Kate sucks -—pretty good LOLOL!!
If you continue to bash Palin you will leave here sad and beaten,so bring it on or GTFO.
Shooting caribou and climbing rocks, that's not what reality TV is supposed to be. I want to see the antics of real Washington people that make Celebrity Rehab look tame. /sarc
Stop holding back Ad guy!!
my new resolution.....bite em and kick em when they are down......I’m a B A D man
