Thanks! Being a flyfisher also, I really enjoyed the reading/viewing. Agree
w/Gavin that a book should b written.

The faller appears to be using a PM Canadien, the bucker may be using one of the first Jonsereds or a late Mall. Other saws in the PNW B.C logging operations in the early & mid 1960s were Skil [the sucessor to PM Canadien] and Remington. Many of these powerheads were very tough and reliable,but just went the wayside with good old corporate mergers. Some of these old powerheads are still used today driving waterpumps for forest firefighting.
