Axmen
Biggest thing I'm wondering is why in the heck they called it AXMEN. Most likely it was created by some yuppie puke that was high when he thought of it. I doubt a single one of those guys use an Axe for anything at all. I think most of the guys in here said it right when they said they don't even really use a saw anymore. It's all harvesters and big machines. They were logging a small patch, like 4 or 500 acres that I went to check out last summer, I think I saw one little chainsaw, and that was for some small slash and occasional use trimming and whatnot... Sadly enough, none of those guys are what you'd really consider a logger by old-timey standards, and that's west or east... As far as big wood goes, if anyone has seen the lumberjack sky pilot or a couple other films, then you'd have seen the 10 and 15' dbh logs they used to drag out of here all the time. There's a ton of pics of logs that size if you look around. Here's a site below of what some REAL old-timey loggers did. They did this out west also. I don't know if they floated logs down rivers out west though??? Anybody know about that??? I'm interested in what the differences were like back in the 20's and that era. I know my great grandfather used to use teams of horses to pull out logs to load on RR cars. Paths were made to slide the sleds full of logs... Really interesting stuff. I've never seen the cable stuff like they are showing, so I think that's VERY interesting also...
