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
~ Sarah Palin
BUMP what you said! She’s gained new fans and won over some people along the way. Heck, I even know of one person who thought she was Tina Fey dumb, but has changed her mind about Sarah after watching *this* series...lol. I just *sighed* - some people are really that easily swayed.
Those two are community agitators. That’s the only way they *dirty their hands* - NEVER with real work.
I said earlier in the thread that the college age kids at my family dinner love this show. Love it. Most are apolitical, too. This is a win win
Lots of logging in this area. Know several who have either lost their life or been permanently injured.
I went back in this guys posting history, and you’ve
had words with this person last Feb. 2010
He seems to be a rabble rouser.
And unlike the Kenyan,, when someone suggests policies to stop logging, drilling, mining, snowmobiling, commercial fishing, etc,,, she will know that it destroys real lives. That d@mned communist thinks the only jobs come from a government grant, distributed by an acorn lawyer.
I have been waiting for this part!
Willow driving the stock car .... and crashing...
Arrg! Love it! Go Baby go!
I learned a lot from this logging episode. I always learn from her series!
Sorry onyx but I never watch hardly anything live except the news, I have her show recording on my Dish PVR, I’ll be seeing it later, and then I can dissect the show.
What fun! I’d love to attend one of those racing schools.
man oh man, is she OK or not???
the suspense is too much.. come on commercial
OH THE DRAMA... Willow, are you OK ... oh gosh...
LOL, Ok enough of that.
zot
Willow did pretty good. The screaming was typical teenage girl, though. lol
Thank you and good night!

going
gone....
LOL. I had previous words with the troll? LOL.
I checked his page, and he seemed sort of familiar. Just a typical and very biased Sarah Palin hater/detractor that rarely posts. We’ve been fortunate to have ‘troll free’ threads.
zut alors!
HA!
Woo-Hoo!
Good shot!
