My dad was a logger out in California in the mid to late 1950 and logged redwood on the coast. Had a shake and shingle mill. These old films sure got me teared up missing him! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome video !...........hard working men, a lost time for sure. With this so goes the country. The loss of these type of folks and their mindset of hard work, family and country is showing up in the rot of society that plagues us today. Thanks for sharing this .
Just think of the balance they had standing up and working in them little boats. I have a hard time standing up and moving around in a 16/48 aluminum jon boat!!
I really enjoyed this history and swamp logging. It was fascinating, thanks for putting this together!

My family was heavy into the cypress business around White Caste/Plaquemine about 1900 or so…
When the men were made of steel, and boats were made of wood.
Very moving.

That’s back when men were men!!
Is it legal to do that? Just wondering cause I'm thinking about doing it. 😊
I think nowadays you would have to do it on private land
