[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1427197, member: 18945"] Jo, Pulp wood cutters that worked here on this place in mid 60s had a bow saw, a couple gallons of gas, a gallon of water, a couple biscuits and sausage wrapped in a paper towel, a truck with a jib boom and winch & about 100 yards of 1/2 line on it and that's it. He'd drive as close as he could get to the tops and scrub and go to cutting, tie the line on and drag it over to his truck and load it. No log hog tractor or skidder. Some days, I thought that truck was going to turn over when he was dragging the cut sticks to the truck. Looked just like this painting, except the guy that cut ours when I was a kid worked alone unless he had his cute young wife with him.
