How'd you like to try falling a tree while standing in a boat?

No kidding... I didn't even know they logged in the swamps, but it makes a lot of sence. One guy can manage a huge log pretty well.

I'd hardly call that a boat. After that video I linked to one called "The Last Log Drive". Really good, check out the ramp log launcher. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMixnGRrMjE These videos link to a pile of classics. Thanks Jim.

hahahha, those guys are crazy on those "boats." Seems to me, that a fair amount of em probably got smacked by falling trees when things didnt go as planned. No where to really go except dive in, not really the options I would want to have to choose from.
