- West Coast Logging 1970's
This is an edited version of the film titled "The Incredible Forest" which was produced by MacMillan Bloedel in the late 1960's-1970's. The film would have been used to educate the general public on the history of West Coast Logging and Forest Management Practices.
This clip illustrates forest management practices in the 1970's and describes the uses of wood and wood by products.
To see photos of logging in Pemberton check out our photo archive - use the search term "logging".

The film was originally recorded to VHS and donated by George Henry.
Created by the Pemberton Museum,Celebrating BC Forest Service 100th Anniversary.
I created this video with the TH-cam Video Editor ( / editor )
wish the world was still like this i might have a place in it
Nothing quite like running a chain saw all day with no hearing protection.
I was just sent this link by my uncle steve, he told me the first faller in the video is my grandfather, Nick Lacusta. Which is pretty awesome because I never met him, only seen pictures. This would be the only footage of him I am aware of. I'm Kreg Lamirand and own KL Tree on the south coast of BC.
KL Tree Services That's Pretty cool to see family when they were young and what they did to provide for their family.. Even though you never met him just seeing what he was apart of and helped create!
Man that's cool, the internet isn't ALL bad after all.
Thanks for the video. I'm one of the old timers. We were logging old growth Redwoods in northern California back in the late 60's and early 70's. I wish I had taken more photos.
Me too... Except I was a little later than you... I worked for PL in the early nineties... We got some of the last old growth before it all fell apart
In
Memory of Ernie Sprenger... a great logger, man , and friend. RIP
Awesome footage. My father was a foreman for his logging crew in the late 70s in woodland Washington. Beautiful to watch
Great footage that alot of people dont see. I was raised on the north end of the Island in Holberg through late 60s 70s and early 80s. I work 2 days a week on the log booms in Holberg doing everything from painting and stamping to drilling logs and sorting. Dads best friend in Holberg was a Bull Bucker. I still have some old footage of Kenworth hauling 3 logs of one tree on a truck
awesome video, thank you.
Not a chain break to be found on those old saws ! Love it! haha I wonder how many of those guys still have faces left.... lol
Nice views of an off road log truck too. Big time loads.
I used to come across Large old MacCoula chainsaws on the ranches....they were huge, and heavy, not no stihls...
Homelite McCullough Poulan. . These are the names that changed the woods
Sadly now they are the names of Chinese junk
Homelite 925. The ultimate falling saw....
Love those ear muffs.
That's back when men were men and women were dam lucky cause of it.
Very awsome vid!!!
This clip isn't from "The Incredible Forest". I have an original 16mm copy of that film, which is from the mid 70's. This footage dates from the mid 60's and was all taken at MacMillan, Bloedel, and Powell River's Juskatla Division. I believe it was taken in 1963.
That makes more sense - not too many cable driven loaders in the woods by the 70s
@@jeremiahwarren2603 they were using line machines right to the end at Juskatla, lots of big wood. The shiny new KW is one of only two 849's they had, they were brand new in '63 or '64.
This is one of the saws from MB&PR's Juskatla division, might even have been in this film.

They don't make trees like that anymore
Hello there, I am student from University Utara Malaysia, can i use this video for my assignment project?
1:33 drop throttle like a boss
Is that mighty Pacific P16? Snowrunner brought me here;)
Where was this filmed? I had a friend who was logging in Washing around then. We are losing the old timers and with them too much history.
My guess is this is Canadian - British Columbia footage. Looks more like late 60's than 70's. Those oversized haul trucks - private land for sure.
This was at MacMillan, Bloedel, and Powell River's Juskatla Division, around 1963.
Were the saws as powerful as now ?
Not far away but much heavier.
Those saws were tough as nails. That's it saws now perform better and way less
Where is there eye protection and their ear protection? We didn't have the regulations on safety backup because government had his big nose out of our business. Now myself I would wear eye protection always have and ear protection back in the fifties when I was just squirt. Because my parents and my boss had common sense. We did not need a union we did not need OSHA because we used common sense to protect ourselves and our fellow employees.
Do you have any other videos?
I can certainly look into it for you. This was two years ago. I will post more if I find them.
Ok. I appreciate it.
Pemberton Museum Thanks. I was about asking the same.
2:39 Did he kickstart using the chain?
Looks like it ahha
Big trees
Like 530🤝🤝🔔
Not even ear plugs ?
These are men. Back before man buns and bitches
Poor quality image.
Rich Fairbanks Its from 1963...what do you expect?
Lol do you think these were filmed yesterday?
