Trees of that size don't exist anymore. All gone. 🌎

Back when men were men....this is one of the best video ever made...guy narrating is awesome...today everyone looking down at there cell phone...

Disgusting. Nothing but greed !

I’m thinking this film was narrated quite some time ago if the narrator was a young adult in the mid 1930’s.

I'm currently employed for the Log Scaling Bureau. I'm also from Grays Harbor. Truly an impressive video. Thanks for sharing

Steak and eggs and sharp chain and well tuned Saw.the best smell ever.

Has this footage been digitally upgraded? It looks too pristine? Looks better than rare WWII color or some 60's footage.

Thanks for sharing 👍👍🙏

Awesome hard working souls !!!!

Killing a living thing that is over a 1000 years old is just plain wrong.

My grandfather, Arthur Shellgren, worked for Hobi and my father dated one of the Hobi girls. Thank you. This was a pleasant find this morning. I have a couple of pictures hanging in my hall.

My grandfather Wetzel logged the same Woods around that time. Wonder if you knew him. Very cool 🌲💪 They don’t make them like they used to.

You must have been logging for careful cutters😂

Thank you so much, truly enjoyed learning this history

I could listen to this guy all day

35 loads a day....GULP! That's working your ass off! Awesome stories! I can't believe the details he remembers. Very very impressive ❤👍

👍👍 One of the best documentaries ever ! Thanks .

Thank you for leaving behind so many abandoned roads to hike and explore! I’ve hiked more than 3,000 miles in the Olympics…and those old roads have allowed me to get to some amazing places.

This is the time and place my great grandfather did this.

Describing the video in the beginning as "a moving picture" makes me yearn for the days of an honest day of work and the simplicity of everyday life in a forgone world.

My grandpa was a whistle punk!

Beautiful red/black IHC C-MODEL TRUCK SHOWN 😊. I HAD A IHC '49 KB-6 GRAIN TRUCK as late as 2011...

The men back there were as tuff as there axe handles

I grew up in the redwoods in Humbolt County in the 1950's. My dad sold mill supplies to all of the area mills large and small. I got to travel with him and tour most of the mills and logging sites. Amazing work both in and out of the mills. Things have certainly changed over the years 🙂.

Fantastic History and a testament to the men, know how and machines. Today I mill timber for my own purposes using a way down size scale method but can mill logs big enough for my purposes working on my own if necessary - the Australian designed "Lucas Mill" makes this possible. For $20K (Australian) you can own the largest Lucas Mill they sell (10inch with a 30HP Kohler petrol engine) by taking it to the log if you want to - rather than the other way around. This means you don't need all the heavy machinery. I have tractors and Excavators so I still drag the logs to the Mill (because I can) but the point is you don't have to - you can take the mill to the log.

I was born (1950) and raised in Everett, WA. My dad was a planer operator at Weyerhaeuser’s Mill (B) planing mill. Constant logging truck loads of these huge old growth trucked through Everett to all the huge mills in Everett. I loved watching those huge loads as a little boy. When we had company Dad would take us all on tours of Mill B. My favorite part was the high-water-pressure bark remover…tossed these huge Doug Firs around like toothpicks. As a little boy it wasn’t unusual to see guys downtown and around town with a hook in place of his hand. Working at Weyerhaeuser was dangerous. My dad and those guys were real men. That’s all gone now. Everett is now Boeing, etc. No more mills.

incredible footage. Wont ever see trees like that again.

Couldn’t imagine spending 9 hours up in a spar tree with no water or food, 30 minutes is about all I can handle before my knees start giving out. These men just ignored pain, I feel like a little weak person compared to these superhuman’s!

The riggin back in the day was truly impressive!

Well done

The steam powered machine at the end of the video is fucking insane. How much torque is that thing putting out??? infinity?! 😅

Grays Harbor Washington State.

Yes they took the logs and all the women.. and built this country!! You forget them grown men fought all the wars and gave us our freedoms!!!

Wow those were real men! Not some fake shit

The most remarkable old logging film I've ever seen for sure. I really appreciate the narration. My grandpa, Charlie F. Sihlis (1913-2002) was a logger on Vancouer Island in the late 30s. My Nana and Papa moved to Cherryville in 1952 and he logged there until 1980. This would be the logging he would have been familiar with. I miss my grandpa for sure. Wish I appreciated him more when he was around.

Johnnie lang,it to me

Did he mention they took every last one of them.

Awesome old footage

An osha representative is going to stumble accross this at some point and crap a brick....blow a gasket and raise his blood pressure with all the stuff he wants to write up and fine. Slamming his hand on the table and yelling at the screen.

Sad to see all those big trees gone

What a shame they cut these bug old trees.

My relatives and they are still at it

Amazing 🎉🎉🎉

Incredible story. Thank you for sharing. Do you know what year this was recorded?

All the respect to the men who did this work, we sure are spoiled now, glad they filmed this to remind us...

Excellent ❤

excellent historical footage!!!!!!

Those were the days.

Those guys were made of steel and ate like hungry bears. No weightwatchers needed.

I'm glad you put up these old films. Excellent stuff.
