TIMBER! Real Lumberjacks Of Canada

British Colombia, Canada. Life here is all about the forest. At the heart of the economy is the wood that teams of lumberjacks cut from the immense forest. Their job is a dangerous one: if they don’t take it seriously, it could take their lives.
We join the men as they battle 6 metre wide trees, 200km an hour winds and a slippy terrain that is also home to grisly bears. They put their lives on the line but they would not want to do anything else.

  • My father in law had massive massive I mean the most massive forearms I ever saw in my life and he was a Canadian from Quebec that lumberjacked in the 1920’s and 1930’s. He work his way up the food chain to be a CAPTIN FOR THE UNITED STATES MERCHANT MARINES. He sailed ships to Cuba before it was communist government of Castro. Then he retired from service to go to the Hot Metal Overhead Cranes Operator At Ford Rouge Complex and poured 125tons of 2900 degree liquid steel for 30 more years and I never met a man like him and I’m proud he is my Father.

  • 21 year old who worked at a sort yard for a few years near Sayward (within 100 miles of the first cut site) First two summers I worked as a Bundler throwing 30 ft steel cables over logs. That was an insanely high tempo keeping up with the loaders but breaks in time while the loaders worked elsewhere kept it manageable at times. Next summer I worked as a Bucker lugging a chainsaw around cutting logs into the determined lengths for sale. After 3 close calls (log falling from a bundle 5 feet in front of me, and nearly breaking my shins twice) I decided to take the lower risk move and get into ranching/farming. I know my legs will thank me and being outside all day putting in work is what’s important to me, not the logging paycheques.

  • I grew up in BC, a small town north of Vernon. For many decades logging and sawmills was at the top of the economy. A lot of us who grew up there through the '80s and '90s either we logged or worked in a sawmill as our first jobs. Today Mills have shut down or downsized, the industry seems to not be as thriving as it used to be. My father was a mill worker all through his career who is now retired. I sure miss those days the smell of fresh cut lumber.

Our small village built next to the sea In NORTH ESSEX UK was built from Canadian Pine In pre WW2 early 1930/ Soon it will be a 100 years old but no one can know or understand how small built wooden bungalows still proudly stand, except those like me who have had modern extensions built needing the old wood walls removed in places for the extension to be added.. At 80 years old, the original Canadian Pine still smelled like Fresh new wood when cut on my home/ An Amazing wood supplied by Amazing men who cut/ moved/ sawed and delivered the wood for over a 100 years and counting./ THANK YOU ALL...

    • you see this in wooden boats also. many classics have BC pine components that need replacing at that sort of age but once the timber is re machined (to a smaller size) it still smells fresh and is basically good as new to re use for another purpose :)

    • What is odd is we don't have a lot of "pine" here in BC, we have Spruce, Coastal Douglas Fir and Western Red Cedar, the last 2 grow to the size of the California Giant Redwoods if left to become old growth trees. The other big quantity is Alder, good for cabinetry or flooring as it will rot out if exposed to weather. I suspect your pine in your house would be the Spruce tree lumber. It is a needle type tree rather than a frond ( firs / cedar ) type but the tree branches look furry with the way the needles grow on them.

I was told it was Canadian Tar Pine. If that was wrong, further help would be appreciated.

    • @@ianburit3705 That would have to be from a different area of Canada than BC and I'll have to look into where tar pine grows. With the massive size of Canada there are huge variations of the flora across the country, even just my home Province of BC is larger than the entire British Islands including Ireland as an example of area. The coastal area of BC is a temperate rain forest, the interior is a desert and Northern BC is not far from the Arctic Circle, that variety of climates alone makes it hard to know what grows all around BC, never mind the other 90% of Canada.

Deaths, fatal injuries even deaths by snakebites.

Posted it to French Polynesia, where they were able to replace it on their arrival. They had a few sleepless nights after the chain plate broke.

  • I've been through Seymour Narrows several times south bound from Alaska at the end of the fishing season. Everyone calls Vancouver Vessel Traffic on the radio and they assign vessels different priorities according to size , speed and power, as it is too narrow for many to make the turn into the tide changes at one time. The current runs at up to 8 or ten knots most of the time, even more when it is ripping. Our skipper read the charts wrong one time and we got caught at the corner by the tide rips and we were wide open on the throttle and not moving forward. Without the air moving by the exhaust stack (venturi). Next thing you know we had a stack fire in our old wood seiner. Had to stop and spin around and drop anchor to get the fire put out. Anything can happen in an instant there, especially when a skipper isn''t on top of his game!

What I must say is that the background music, the sharp editing, the story-telling narration style, all add up to delivering a somewhat confected version of what must be a slow, listless and no-so- exciting life. The issue with documentaries is that they cannot be factual record. Some of the truth get smuggle up with the way it is told. Not out of deliberate intent but due to the compulsion of making the story 'interesting' But it was great viewing. It has kindled my intrest in the subject and will keep me busy for the next few weeks researching.

It was the start of end of cutting wood in mills on the coast and the beginning of log exports. Working at Eburne at the time we did a lot to try to keep mills in bc. We were sold out by the NDP and the IWA union. They just changed the law over night and big business one.

They can turned on a dime because the propeller is encapsulated in a big tube that you can steer thus making the boat super-duper maneuverable and is just about impossible to capsize.

Bear in mind that another newly planted tree will not have the shear volume of canopy subjected to the sun's light ,that would take about 56 Newley planted trees 86 years to replace one days worth of oxygen generation.

Plus there's the uncomfortable detail that this documentary about logging pretty much completely skips over the actual logging part. There is literally over thirty times as much footage devoted to beachcombing as to actual logging. And yes I did time it. "...which has now become a trunk, also called a log." The sheer cluelessness of this beggars the imagination. This is arguably the most cringeworthy logging "documentary" ever. Oh and they censor out critical comments - watch this space. PS: Learn how to pronounce "Hecate".
