Grew up in Lewiston 1990’s, watched this in 4 or 5th grade. Perfect

This should be required viewing in grade school: "This is what your granddads and great-grandads used to do for lumber. " Such a great video!

I have fished, hunted and floated this river. Wish I could have seen it before the damned dam. If you like this movie, go watch Disney's Charlie the Lonesome Cougar.

I think that's a multitasking machine I'm thinking that's where you're going with it slasher limmer loading trucks 👍

being in the valley next to the river the lewiston mill sits in. nothing like it in the world.

Now everyone carries assault rifles and side arms whilst having face tattoos

that's incredible

Brings a tear to my eye...the best of times we'll never see again.

People don't realize how the US was de-forrested. In California alone, 95% of redwoods gone. The entire US landscape was transformed.

So very cool! I grew up in Enumclaw, Washington in the 70’s and 80’s when it was a logging/dairy farm town. Kinda makes me sad seeing the end of that era.

Was there a significance with the different colored Crusher hats???

I'm a 69 and did construction all my life, mostly on the East coast. This is about the wildest job I've seen. I mean WILD. All those guys probably ate 6,000 calories a day to keep up. Didn't see any that were overweight. I MIGHT have been able to hang with those guys in my prime. Not sure, though. Cheers from South Carolina!

❤❤❤❤absolutely love this video..grew up in this country...nothing like it anywhere..too bad all them old giants are gone

Best

There used to be a large book in the reception area at Potlatch in Lewiston that was a photo and prose telling of the last log drive. It was a fascinating record and made waiting for an appointment worthwhile. Growing up on the Columbia River almost underneath the Broughton Lumber Co. slough (see Disney’s Charlie the Lonesome Cougar) we would watch mile long log rafts being towed downriver almost hourly. Who knew in the 1960’s the timber would be gone by the 1980’s?

cool history. i just subscribed.

Great video .

In the 1950's I lived a small community west of Orofino, ID. Peck, ID was my home and each year we got to see the log drive down the Clearwater. I thank who ever posted this video, it was great to see the way it was done then.

Thanks for posting this great content.

Almost no Americans know what hard work means.

Nobody today knows what a peavey is 🤔 remember using dads when we’d cut firewood

Awesome. Simply Awesome. Thanks for the video!

Thanks for this view into history

They will never see the likes of this again, that's for sure they striped all the old growth out every corridor in the state.

cool vid . here is a link to a short vignette called the log drivers waltz czcams.com/video/upsZZ2s3xv8/video.html

*- When the 18 year old's were at work on that last drive, I was on top of Mt. Washington using a propane torch to cutting H-Beams with flanges 3 inch thick to disassemble the Jet Engine Testing Laboratory at the end of WW2.* *- I suspect that I would have been on the river if I lived out there.*

Nice video. I lived my first 10 yrs in Lewiston and my relatives were some of the first settlers in the valley owning and farming the land where the mill sits today. My grandpa and his dad were part of the crew leveling the site for the mill using horses with drag boxes dropping the dirt down through an overhead trestle into Model TT trucks parked underneath. My other grandpa was a log scaler in the woods, a few cousins and an uncle worked at the mill.

The video is awful

saw sensor is not working properly. while youre sawing the screen didnt turn red as if your saw is out. so if the computer didnt saw the saw going out it cant reset and count the volume.

I suspect the loggers were NOT candy asses……..

I remember watching the log drives when I was a kid and grew up in a timber family!

Are u from bemidji

This is so interesting to me.

I have logged most of my life and have seen this or anything quite like it. I came on here to see if anyone had a video a Siiro buzz box like mine and stumbled on this. What a fascinating piece of machinery. Your numbers seem off to me. are you saying it can only do 40 cords a day if it goes well? So in 10 hr shift with one for greasing fueling and a break that is 2.78 cords an hour at 25 cords. That seems extremely low to me based on how quickly I was seeing this produce wood. Even older processors can do an average of 5 an hour and that includes falling the tree. Maybe the excessive cleanout time hurt production too much. But boy does it ever do a great job limbing. Thanks for uploading this.

Thanks for sharing.

Very large and did its job

Possibly a photo recon ship, judging by the window in aft fuselage.

The usaaf striped rudder is completely historically out of place and looks stupid

Seen her first hand at the EAA. Beautiful aircraft.

It did, friend of mine is a judge and told me all about it. Showed me pictures of everything. Unbelievable restoration.

What a ship 😮

Beautiful aircraft

Stunning early razorback. Wonder what her history is.

What a beautiful old razorback!!!!!!!!!!! FANTASTICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This jug will win first place ,no doubt

Complete perfection

The fighter of the century!!!!!!! BEAUTIFUL,BEAUTIFUL BIRD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jezis ... what a beast ... I got wood
