Makes you realise how easy it is today compared to then..

Axes, crosscut saws and chain harnesses...

Very cool, my old man has just retired from the family sawmill and often goes on about 'back in the day'

 

No chainsaws, no hiabs, cross cuts and snedding with small axes...

 

Years later the first chainsaw came along and needed two people on it....but it was a lot better than a crosscut..

 

He still threatens me with 'I'll put some new handles on one of the cross cuts,give it a tickle up and see how tough you are son'

 

Love the old school...

 

I always think when a road team takes 5hours to re open a road after 2 small conifers go down on a country road after a storm...what would the 'Old school' be thinking, perhaps laughing or perhaps shaking there heads in disgust.....
