Thanks for the movie Timbertramp, I grew up logging the Island, camp brat as a school kid until family moved to Richmond in 58 so My Brother and I could get a High School education. I spent summer breaks back in camps setting chokers and chasing/second loading. Got My education and used it to fulfill My goal of pulling leavers on Heel Boom Line Loaders. I lasted until 1977 and the industry changed, I moved on and built a career to retirement in the construction industry both residential and commercial. This movie is how I remember Logging, Steel Towers Butt Rigging, Heel Booms, full brim Tin Hats and Boots on the ground.

Great old footage,lucky to have it!!................Thanks for posting!!

If they only had sound back then. Ahhh! Marvelous footage!

Very cool 💪 greetings from Austria 💪

Fantastic stuff thankyou for sharing

No one even thought about ear or eye protection back then..boots were handmade...the operators and timberfallers were the best...

hello. Dennis wilson was my great uncle and unfortunatley he died in 2019 april I think.

That area is being harvested again today

I see tin hard hats. This has to pretty old. Good old WCB haven't allowed these for a long time. But they are ok South of the border.

I see they were using the stihl contra/lightning. 1106 model.
