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
LOL. That’s Kate.
See ThreePuttinDude’s tagline....LOL.
You got a lot more than we did so far. Only about an inch here in N.Baltimore County.
Piper’s death stare. LOL
Refudiate instead of repudiate. HAHA Turned out to a real new word with meaning.
So they are near Kodiak Island this week?
Less than 100 air miles from my house...WooHoo!
JFK is also closed. The Giants are stuck in Green Bay.... and they lost to the Packers, too.
No children at the logging site. Too dangerous.
Thanks for the ping. I, too, had kind of lost track that today was Sunday. Hard to believe this is week 7.
Todd is so good looking. Thudd!
Never been there or to Kodiak, I have however been to Unalaska. Not many trees there.
Yes! Love that Piper!
Do you happen to know when this episode was filmed?
Number one new word for 2010!
We had a dusting of snow early this morning and you only have an inch!
You’re nearby, huh?
WOO-HOO!
I did a search for the island and found that map I posted so we would sort of know where she went in tonight’s episode.
A new word from a typo. The power of Palin! lol
The Learning Channel was an appropriate venue for the show.
There is no way that Todd Palin could live in Washington. There is no way their children could happily live under the microscope, if living in Washington. The Palin's life is Alaska in exchange for living in the White House would be like taking fish out of water--I don't care how good the parenting skills.
I would not wish the presidency on such an out doorsy-active, close & loving family!! The ugliness that NOW surrounds the presidency from within supported by their teeth bared media dingos calls for a tough Hatcher or Meir type..no more Mr/Ms Nice with a family that can end up as collateral damage!! It's an Ugly world in Washington even for an Alaskan.
Really enjoy the show and understand the episodes/documentaries will be or are for sale?
Football games on TV reminded me today is Sunday. Church yesterday through me off, and we didn’t attend to today.
Maybe in inch so far and I’m good with that after last year. It looks like the Eastern Shore is getting dumped on though.
He wanted Sarah to sign his chain-saw and of course she did!
I love it!
She’s my girl. Look at her with that chainsaw,,,. I’d like to see someone ask her what she thinks about a “jobless recovery”.
