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
We thought about shoveling a spot for the Westie but couldn’t get the door open. Wind coming from every direction, around 28 mph.
Lovin’ this show.
That is exactly the type of person we need in DC. Someone who wants to fulfill their service,committed to helping their country and getting the heck out.
We have enough politicians who like DC just a bit too much. They’ve made a career out of it.
As far as I know, all the episodes were filmed during this past summer.
Er, that sign should be “less than.”
Enjoy the show. Comes on here in about 3 hours. Can’t wait!!
< = less than
you’re correct, aren’t you?
I got the feeling that the guy who asked her to sign his chainsaw must be a fan:)
Sarah Palin is a dingbat... She is so egotistical that her daughters are all sleeping around and blowing her off as a parent. I watched Sarah Palin’s Alaska. Her kids lie to her face and she let’s them get away with it. They blow her off when she tells them to do stuff, and she let’s them get away with it. Boys go running upstairs to her daughter’s room and Sarah and Todd do nothing. D-I-N-G-B-A-T. She can’t run her house, how do we expect her to run our country? Forget-about-it.
Bear spray? We know what happens to people that use ‘bear spray’...
They're wearing jackets again. I guess when we have the FR summertime cruise to Alaska, we'll need warm clothes...:)
It was around when Sarah type “refudiate”.
Yep, church on Fri & Sat threw me off, too. I did want to comment during the commercial that all of the college age youth at our Christmas dinner love this show. Love it. They are apolitical for the most part, but, they connect with this show. I was gobsmacked when THEY brought it up.
TLC has had the series for sale at the linked site for several weeks, but it’s $29.95. amazone.com will have it available and likely at a much lower prices. I have TIVO’d the episodes, but I plan to buy the DVD’s when they’re available on amazon or at Walmart etc.
Hi, how you doing up there?
Hope wife is safe in CA!
I agree. Wasn’t that great?? He was cool,, but you could tell he was pumped about it.
What a brave woman this lady is, to go on TV with her family, especially young people who may or may not respond as expected....
I love her, Todd’s a lucky man, and a patient one as well...
At this time of night, I’m not sure. I put in the html for “less than.”
Why exactly, may I ask, are you in this thread?
We can smell your fear. lol
