I was a logger also and I like the power saws . That had to be much harder than how I did it.

I've mentioned before that I watched my Dad and Grandpap build our house and barn in the 50's with handsaws and only hand tools. My Grandfather was about 85 at the time and he would cut a tree down in the morning by himself and by dinner it would be a stack of firewood. We have really gotten soft.
If you look at those pictures Michael posted you won't see one overweight guy in the bunch.

I spent my share of time in the woods too but never anything bigger than about 4-5 feet at the stump. Very few of those old growth trees survived that era, sad.

Living back then would have one good advantage. You would now be in the ground and not have to see what has happened to this country in the past 20 years.

Mom and pops heat their house with wood. All I can say is that is a lot of fire wood!!! I used to cut with dad to heat the house, and with the ammount of work that was involved doing that I want nothing to do with what those guys are doing!!!
