My grandpa and uncle owned a logging camp in the 1930s until 1962 in northerner Itasca County. Dad has many great stories of life in the camp. They had a sawmill there too. I've tried to capture some of it on my channel. Great job on the video. I've been to the center a few times.
Very interesting, 👌 keeping these knowledges for generations to come, is a duty that history will benefit all of ours, for respect and wisdom from heritage of ancestors...thanks for your inspiring efforts to bring to us such historical practice of a not long time ago... still perhaps, adaptable, after a needed "reset" 👏 🧙♂️
Great way of doing things. Just would have being great if you would have shown how to fix the wire cable to roll the log on the wagon. That way the know how would have been pass. I'm wondering how it was all attach, I think I know but I'm not 100% sure ? I would have pass the cables fix to the wagon under the log and the ones to the horses over the log so it could have make a torque on the periphery of the log and make it roll on the angle lifter log, but maybe I'm wrong ?
The cook could keep the cook stove going all night just throw a log on every so often hear and their keep a small fire going you dont need to load it all night. In are house wee have a big stove and we never load it are house would be 120 so we just throw a log on hear and their .
