Very brave and manly men and their excellent machines is what I saw, logging my property last summer.

They are so skilled and brave, our property is great forest property, thus very steep north face mountain. The machine would crawl up the hill grabbing the tree at the base, cut it and lay it down gently in a pile, for the next machine to strip the branches and cut them in 20' lengths. They would balance the 100'+ tree with their boom so they don't tip backward or roll down the hill, what a feat!! Had to shake their hand when all done, they were amazing.

at least they had machines so they didn’t have to go all Paul Bunyan with an axe.....

jk, always amazed at what a few good men can accomplish!

And to be candid, I am a “modern male” who is more at home behind a desk than with most types of manual labor. Most men and nearly all women in modern life depend greatly upon the brave hard-working men who do all the really tough and dangerous jobs in the world.

Great story. I love that.

Two very good documentaries on the history of logging to modern times for those that like to watch such things.
