Can you grow mango there?

This is some great footage, I learned how they would lift a big log with 2 cant hookers opposed to each other. They worked fast , safe , efficient and so did the horses. I have used my body hard but now I have to let the horses do the work. Great 8mm video, great time , Great Men. Love it.. Forward. .

I love that people have done so much work on the background of my family. I do think that it is hysterical that in 2022 we still look at the male line as the important way to know about our history. In my memory of my grandmother, she ruled the roost the town, and whatever world she wanted to be in. When I started looking at the Pelletier side, now THAT was definitely amazing. Just one note that I learned recently. The Pelletiers come from a part of France known as the "land of the tall trees". When Notre Dame burned, there was one place they could go to find the trees tall enough and lithe enough to bend to form the original arches. That was "The Land of the Tall Trees".

Finally the mercs with their FALs had to come in !!

Wow, Kurtistown is actually a real place? Cool!

Hey David I wondered if you would mind if I used a few clips off of your video for an intro to a video I am doing. Thanks

Those guys worked......

That's called "Working in the Woods"

This could be my dad...Donald Tibbetts worked for Chet Chase back in the late 40's

This old film of early logging is of real historical value, really tough job logging in winter.

Of course they were dancing. Jane and I had been born in 1948. Ha!! I love this. It's terrific. Thank you for all your hard work.

In case anyones wondering, what the men were working on was a stub that hung the sled up. Back in the day that job was called "swamping" and a guy could spend several years doing that type of work before he got promoted up to a bucker or faller. Lots of jobs for hard workers back in the day. I caught the very tail end of that period.

butthurt?

What a fine video with great music...

How did you get all the firewood down there?

catchy tune

I'm coming next year...

Amazing ...thanks for the treat....

The way they swing their partners shows unbelievable respect....

No one had to tell these guys to Man Up ....

yes it is the white man's fault. (Malcom X)

My father did that in the late 40's and 50's he sold his last team in 1958 I sure hated to see those horses go. We lived in New Hampshire but dad logged in Maine too. at one time he had eight team of horses.

there you go.. forever blaming the white man. it's people like you that help keep africa down.

omfg..shut your ass up,.. you can't even spell..(re read your comment dummy, are you smart enough to find the error?).. maybe if your father stuck around for you growing up, he would have influenced you to finish grade school.. yours truly.. "whitey"..

RE: "a lot of the congolese people still want the belgians to come back." I agree. They want the Belgians to come back and return all the riches and resources they STOLE from Africa, and to make reparations for their CRIMES against humanity

Thank you for your comment, and for the opportunity to present the story of King Leopold, as told by WHITE HISTORIANS: Black Death in the Congo (King Leopold II of Belgium) /watch?v=Pw9ZTHP5Rfo THANKS AGAIN. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

you weren't enslaved lol

thats half the story - Mr Dick Choy then offers me a ride to my home in oceanview, and then offers me Lunch to take home! He made me the best sandwich ive had in a long time and a bundle of grapes. then took me home. Dick Choy is one of the nicest people I've ever met. -Dustin Millington

wall of the elevator with my foot on the way out to hitch hike home, when Mr Dick Choy noticed my apparent frustration. He asked about my problems and I told him everything. he listened to everything. He then spoke with the govenor of hawaii (I'm not sure who was in office at the time) I had the pleasure of briefly speaking with the govenor as well. In short - I was able to work out a way to get my ID card with the documents I did have.

Hello Dick! I wanted to say hello again, and thank you for helping me out when I was in need. I was jobless and hitch hiking into kona from oceanview every day for almost a week, only to get refused my hawaiian state ID. the last trip and attempt to get my ID after hitch hiking into kona, was the same, denied again. Inwardly upset, and a little outward ;) I was tapping the

I used to live in Puna, and this really captures the eclectic spirit of the market and the Pahoa area :-) Can you add some Hawaiian or Jawaiian music? That would complete a cool slideshow!

Yeah, I'll deny it. The Congo was a colony with a few whites living a life of luxury with a black population living in squalor...it's still a shithole, but not a racist shit hole.

That is in January - highs of 80 lows of 65 - day to night. No, chirping frogs in January are music to the ears of New England.

What was the weather like their,was it warm in the day and cold at night..... Did you have a hard time sleeping with all the frogs chirping?

You notice there are no over weight guys here. Also, no one had a large "I" tatooed on his forehead. It was called team work and that's not just the horses.

These guys have more ambition in their pinkys then todays people. Also ever notice there was less health problems then, maybe because they got plenty of exercize and they didnt eat food! Thanks for the kick a** video tho!

I was there as a young child in the former Belgian Congo from December 1964 through August 1966 because my father was in the air force assigned to the U.S. embassy. Thanks for the video

when the congo stopped being civilized

@Karbouchard yeah and most of it was caused by colonization, capitilism,imperialism all that shit. I know a lot you don't have to tell me nothing.......love is my religion.

@jumpingonglass Really? Shall I start reciting African on African violence in Africa? Talk shit elsewhere.

@wastedwasted3 The Congo was most certainly not better off, watch white king red rubber black death. Maybe Rhodesia. South africa was also not better off for its native population.

@bogrdstoner420 Like I said, our parade is comprised mostly of true Patriots - people who honor the principles of free speech . Just because someone wraps themselves in the flag or wears any kind of "uniform" (get it ?) doesn't automatically mean they honor our country - sometimes they are honoring their own private version -which is often bigotry, homophobia, xenophobia, terrorism and general intolerance . I suspect they would also disagree with the words on our Statue of Liberty.

ok

we wanted to enjoy life naturally using gods creations.... we dont need material man made things when there is earth.....your things destroy the earth,now you wanna save the earth.....melanin does more than give us color it makes us godly and spiritual

@ehunter2 thats not cool at all...... i'm black and will never hurt another soul. i'ts all wrong

@ehunter2 shu the fuk up murder, you dont kill people and help them

@wastedwasted3 better off for the white africans...hahahahaha...dont try to hide your criminal history u son of a bitch....hahahahahahaha

Love this tune!

Great video David! Thanks for sharing! That trip was amazing!
