I logged up near Meziaden which is near Stewart turn right at the junction you head up to dease lake and the Alaskan highway. I logged there and lived at camp Meziaden for 6 years and made whops of money to take back to Ontario and buy my beatiful log home just east of Rossport on the north shore of Lake Superior. Im still here 50 years later,kids all grown up and my wife and I enjoy inland fishing for Pickerel and blueberry picking and awesome sunsets...Thank you for the great video and the memories cheers from Ontario.

That “beachcomber” Cat is straight up Bada---! A family too , a damn good Man .

Fantastic documentary! I'm from an Oregon logging family - all of whom moved on from logging decades ago. (RIP Dad and Grandpa.🌲🌲🌲)

I am a retired arborist from the northeast 35yrs. I’ve earned respect, these MEN ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST!!! GREAT DOCUMENTARY 👏👏👏👍👍👍

I started my logging career in 1978. I have done every job depicted in this video. Cheers to all my fellow loggers.

What a hardworking bloke Eric the log beachcomber is ,as well he has a beautiful family which he supports, a different side of logging which as an Aussie I did not imagine existed, the smaller 1 to 2 person company's work unbelievably hard yet the efforts are greatly underestimated and ignored, overall a great video, thank you very much for sharing 👍💯

As a northern British Columbian who lives in a small forestry town, I understand the importance of the forest industry. People have to make a living. But at the same time I sure hope that we're managing our forests such that we don't cut more than a 1,000th of 1,000 year old trees each year. I'm not sure that's the case. We can't get too greedy. It's a renewable resource but only if we manage it wisely.

I really enjoyed this. I love watching guys who actually work, unlike the local Walmart. I'm a construction worker, day in, day out!

This video is sooo interesting! Sorry that I am just now finding this channel! I know that logging is one of the most dangerous (if not the most dangerous) jobs there is! My respect to all who work in this industry!

I started in the woods at 9 yrs old for a life-long cutter, Frank K. Up Deadwood Cr. western Oregon and broke in as his marker. A log tape, markin axe, shirt,loggin cutoffs, suspenders, socks, boots, and hard hat. The dress code of the job for the day. I jumped in his truck at 4am. Made it to the show by daybreak. First tree i ever marked was 11 foot at the butt, and old Frank had to springboard the tree to make the undercut. Five fuel-ups and 4hrs later ,tree still standing Frank pulled his saw out shut it off and said "Lets eat lunch" I asked him, "What about the tree" He just said, " Keep your eyes on the top. It'll be coming down as soon as the wind shifts." Well 20 minutes passed before I heard the first snap of wood, 5 minutes later the second. And then all hell broke loose. It sounded like a freight train twenty feet from us going by. When that tree hit the ground i bounced a good half a foot in the air. From that day on i was hooked on cutting timber. I'm 72 now and have left cutting trees to the younger bucks. Have to say i enjoyed the video.

Now I want to watch some episodes of Beachcombers!

What incredible work by these men! Incredible documentary

Great job Andy & Crew's.

The thought of getting home ! Priceless words after a stretch of time

What a fascinating documentary. Thank you.

Eric loving his work. That’s the key. Love what you do

I love the job like a Beachcomber 👍👍👍

Awesome that the beachcomber guy makes a living salvaging wood lost from the giant log rafts.

I went to school for Forestry Management, I worked for Rough and Ready lumber company, O'Brian Oregon for 6 years as the head of the logging team. Before I went to college I routinely cut down 200 ft plus trees, I know exectly what im talking about. I taught myself, Cutting 200 ft firs and cedars in the Illinois valley, Oregon. There waas a large burn outside of takilma... also other places of 100 year old trees. I cut fire wood... Thats how I got into a retraining program for displaced forestry workers

ที่นี่มีป่าไม้มีธรรมชาติที่สวยงาม..ต้นไม้เดิบโต อาจจะใช้เวลาเกือบ100ปี ใช้เวลาในการตัดไม่กี่นาที ..ต้นไม้ มีความสำคัญใช้ในการสร้างบ้านและอุตสาหกรรม...ถ้าตัดต้นไม้แล้วมีการปลูกต้นไม้ขึ้นมาทดแทนจะได้มีต้นไม้และไม่หมดไปจากป่า 🏞️🌲⛰️✨🤗..I don't like man Asia .. Thank you for sharing VDO safe and healthy 🤗✨💪

I am deeply saddened every time a thousand year old tree is felled. It is a symbol of our lack of creativity as humans. We no longer steward the earth- call me a "tree hugger" but the effort it took to grow those giants will not come again. Sustainable commercial foresting is a necessary task for humanity to develop and we ignore it at our peril.

Thank you for sharing this great documentary!

My hope 💜 is that Canada & B.C. think of the future for our children & grandchildren who will have the need for lumber as well 🤠

Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent photography job enabling viewers to better understand what the orator is describing. Special thanks to veteran lumber jack guest speakers. Sharing personal knowledge/experiences pertaining to the tree 🌲🌲 harvesting industry. Making this documentary more authentic and possible -!!!😉. Not an occupation for the faint of hearted -!!!.😲

Thanks for those straight boards all perfect 👌 only i e ever seen so perfect 💯

Imagine the world without trees?😊

Brave Men 👍🏼🪵 Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹

The Lumber is worth gold now days.

Amazing mirrored piece! I enjoy seeing your work develop into nice pieces.

Looks a fabulous life. I would have loved that before I became disabled.

Going back to the 1800s, these are the guys who have stories of Sasquatch, along with indigenous peoples and their Totem poles. A thousand year old tree, I could not cut down.

Itu benar-benar pekerjaan yang sangat berharga, senang rasanya saya dapat melihat beberapa pekerjaan di berbagai belahan dunia diluar sana, semoga anak cucu kita kelak dapat mewarisi pekerjaan yang lebih baik lagi❤❤❤

Amazing Documentary loved it.

Your a hard working man keep it work always for yourself you the man great famley

Perhaps Eric could make some moves to add value to what he salvages and remain self employed. Maybe his own milling set up, sell seasoned wood, make stuff etc

Wonderful documentary, well done. Learned quite a bit about logging and moving them via the river.

Looks like a demanding job but well worth the effort and what a beautiful place to work and live your life.

What a great documentary B.C. Is so beautiful

cool vid..been there done it all...lol..sad so much goes to china from mahatta,,west coast actually. now so few flat booms now pretty hard to make a livin beachcombing..good video though..74 years young born and raised british columbia west coast..many of us started logging very young...lol..

👍👌👏 A really well done documentation/documentary! Best regards luck and health to all involved people.

Casino's yes I get it... My Grandmother was Mic Mac just tred lightly !!! 🤔

Interesting and super pro production.. thank you.

Fantastic watch very educational.

Relic!!!!! Jessie!!!!! Nick!!!!!!!!

Would have been interesting to see how the logs are skidded off the mountains. Otherwise an excellent documentary. Thanks.

Stay safe Eric .

All those Guitars.

thanks and love this video,,,,❤❤From Sri lanka,,,

There was this Dirty Cop, thank God it was my Mother & a Few Eagle Members that have kept me grounded. 🤔

Lumber is the other product that other countries want ! Even those they have there own supply of lumber but rather use the lumber from say another country remember it takes say 25 to 50 years to regrow the supply of lumber you cut down in your own country ! True the cut lumber can be sold for a profit But remember that you can’t regrow the old growth lumber that you sold to say China or Europe can’t be replaced in a few years ! Use it at home ! Not miles or days away !

It must be the patriarchy I don’t see any women doing this job. Much respect for these men.

Great Video Sidewinder different from a boom boat

Such seamless automation, impressive!

Excellent. I have mixed feelings about industries like these which are shadows of their former selves. I understand the reality of "progress" but lately it seems we're losing more than we're gaining. I want to live in an analog world.

These guys are amazing subjects of the queen. work hard and don't forget.. pay your taxes..

Jangan biarkan hutan sampai gundul , sebaiknya tanam kembali bibit baru supaya alam tetap terjaga dengan baik 🌲🌲🌲

When I worked off Vancouver Island on a salmon fishing boat we had to look out for 'dead heads' logs that floated vertically. I always wondered where they went at night...

Love it , grew up in the logging industry

Stop selling to foreign companies.. sell only to North American Companies, & locally owned sawmills inland...

😮 It's pretty intense to think that that one tree saw you be born and die over 1200 life times. Pretty incredible. It's done its job. Now it needs to be removed to thin out the Forrest and let new light in areas that haven't seen the sun for hundreds of years. This will start a whole new echo system in this area now.. Pretty cool to see what happens in the Forrest.

Kudos to the logers for their hsrd work😊

Thats a big tree holy cow

I here the Paper work is telling...

An interesting clip. The overseas market must pay top dollar.

awesome view like from Cambodia

Draft away with chopped lumbers along clean river streams from heavy mountain forests. Big guys works building temples and fresh scented lumber timber houses.

I hope They replant new trees after felling is done otherwise its a waste of time, much respect to these guys dam hard and dangerous job

At 28:40 the captain caught a Ling cod which despite its creepy mug is a delicious fish.

Важка та не вельми безпечна робота, це треба любити.

A shame the saw mills are disappearing and logs are sawn overseas

Very hardworking people 👍💪

These jobs are not for everybody. Takes a certain kind of person to do these jobs.

Amazing

V V Heard job indeed and v expensive log in the world 🌎🌎🌎 thanx laley. Lala Pakistani

cutting trees and plant more trees after several years you can cutting again ang plant 💯🇵🇭

what a shame that 90% of that wood goes somewhere else

I enjoyed logging.. I tried it all.. Tree planting too Carpentry.. Too bad the industry was shut down..

My grandpa and great grandpa were B.C. lumbermen in late 1800’s-early 1900’s.

I just want to say, I miss the woods. i was in a motorcycle accident in 2003, ended my forestry career...

I'm a lumberjack, and I'm ok, I sleep all night and I work all day ......

And to think... Up until about the early/mid Middle Ages (500A.D. - 1000A.D.) most of the upper Northern hemisphere was nothing but unbroken forest pretty much! the Romans and Vikings managed to change most of that apparently(?)... With their building of homes, carts and ships, as well as the need for fuel too. Unbroken forests and woodlands until the planting of crops and grass for modern agriculture...

good work...nice video

What a mistake in reporting. You skipped the biggest step. Are we to think the trees are felled into the back of a logging truck ? There is an entire process called 'Yarding and loading" aka Logging . In my day a Madill yarder crew was 6 men, with up to 5 machines/crew going hi ball. Then logs were loaded into trucks by grapple loader, an a nother 2 crew to a landing, so 8 guys now. We seldom had a full crew on the rigging, so 7 men normal. The rigging was where we choke to logs an send them to the Yarder. Thumbs down to skipping the yarding and loading. More research is needed about actual logging when you go do a balanced docu. .

They skipped over the bucking & yarding steps, both of which are interesting & dangerous.

I use to be a logger in the Sahara forest !

Sad they cut down a nice tree….

Very interesting

Sissies. My older sister would teach these guys something… she’s a chiropractor. Lol😂

Amazing😱

I envy the job satisfaction.

People should make farms were the trees are cut down.

Well done. I enjoyed this

Gosto muito desse tipo de vídeo mais gostaria que fosse dublado em português ou legendado em português ok parabéns pelo vídeo ficou ótimo manda um salve pra mim alv Uberaba MG Brasil ok

I live right here in B.C. . I search for wood that can be made into a guitar or cello, instrument building materials of suitable age. Dammed shame the good stuff if always overlooked then exported 😢.

Anyway, I love you guys and Gals Savages....

Story of Oregon. logging gone and the towns they rode in on.

This guy should take some of his logs, cut them up and make custom furniture and sell them for a ton of money to these rich people in the big mansions me myself that’s what I would do that would compensate for the loss money and I’ll guarantee you you won’t be wanting to sell the wood. Specially, if it’s seasoned wood a lot of people like the grain of that wood it’s been sitting in the water.
