I thought some would get a kick out of this one about California tree guys.

Here's some more looks at the past tree industry. It would be nice if you have some more vids or pics about you're area in the world if you have it handy.

They probably saw a lot of guys pass away on the job back in those days. In that respect going to work in many cases was essentially soldiering. I doubt many people around anymore can imagine how tough gentry was back then.

Something else... That's a good video. Thanks for it. I'll check out the others sometime.

I heard somewhere that when the guys finished chopping off the tops of those trees, they'd do the jig or a handstand on the top of their kills. If those fellas survived their first few years back then, they were most likely something else.
