  • This is a piece I shot in December 1988 for an NBC News Today Show feature called America Works. It's called The Logger. My soundman Stan Ouse and I spent a week in Forks, Washington on the Olympic Peninsula covering this logging family.

      Great man K, so glad and honored I had the chance to know him. He was my neighbor for many years growing up.

    Awesome video. Reminds me of many friends that have logging in their blood. For me, I gave it up after college for a corporate career but still admire the toughness of those that made logging their career. Thanks for sharing.

    Back in the old days, "Nobody would take the bad logs".. Yeah, I remember going to the lumber store with my dad in the 60's and any 2X4 that had one little knot or ANY knot he would throw it back. All construction wood back the had to be KD fir and perfectly clear and TRUE dimensions. The mills today are not set up that way like this awesome film had mentioned.

    Some of the Washington professional loggers that I knew were bigger environmentalists then the "tree huggers" ever thought about being!! There isn't any loggers around (if there ever was) that would want to be the one that cuts down that last tree any more then there's fisherman that don't want to catch that last fish either!! Both are honorable professions...

      A real woods is a tangled mess of down trees brush. Not much difference here. Animals will migrate around as needed. New trees will come and the cycle of life will continue with a little different variety of animals as the woods matures. Soon the debris will decay and the forest will mature again. Life is not static and neither is nature.

      I have literally logged off a 20 acre patch and gone and hand piled limbs cleaning up after and it looks amazing.. not reasonable or prudent but aesthetically amazing
