Comments: - - Very interesting watching the horses work. My dad started working in the woods in North Idaho about 1923, first as a helper in the lumber camp and later he bought a Model T Ford and added a rack to haul logs. With the trailer he could haul 12 foot logs till they got high enough to clear the cab and then he hauled 16 foot logs. All the part in the woods was done by horses including loading the truck as they did not use stakes on the trucks then, just chains to hold the logs on the truck and trailer.

Good day Jim Boy interesting video. I remember back in 60's when dad was farming full time , he came home at night red face from cold. Boy o boy those horses torn in pulling that log at 15-00 mins. U would have thought they were a t horse pull. I felt sorry for them when log jammed in wheel . Anyways thanks for now

Jims horses are so strong compared to alot of other horses on youtube. Wether its their in great shape from always working i see jim drag huge 50' logs. Most teams you see pulling 8' i do like the horse draw forwarde i seen a few horse logers use

Jim you are working the camera beautifully grabbing all the different trial shots. 1set of scene shots took about 4 different spots. The horses must be familiar with your stop and starting all the time. Anyway you certainly captured the the trail scene very well. I hope viewers can see the extra yards and extra time you put into your videos. Actually as I remember in my early days going out bush to cut down trees to split into fence post we had to clear the bush away to get to trees because there was no tractor or dozer to clear a track to the trees. You video took me back to those days instantly. Where hard yards too! Cheers for a great video. The only difference is you have snow but we don’t have snow in winter
