Logging The Blast Zone

[chris_girard]

Came across this old US Logger video from 1983 that I haven't seen in years. It's about working in the blast zone of Mt. St. Helens after it erupted in 1980 and how the loggers spent 3 years daily trying to salvage the wood. They did a hell of a job too, if you ask me.

I'll look forward to watching, later.

My neighbor Charlie said that there was a lot of filing involved. Forget square grind.

I've seen that one. I'll re watch it later. My daughter really likes old documentaries, especially if they involve any kind of timber work.

Pumice and carbon is real hard on chain and moving parts. And filters.....

Old documentary... I think I'm offended. Old documentaries are from the 30s-50s :^D

I was thinking exactly the same thing, John .

I was living in MA when St Helen's blew out. Watching from afar and remembering a family vacation to St Helens and Lassen when I was a young boy. Blew my mind.

I have these DVDs somewhere. Thanks for posting!

Not VHS?

No vhs.

I had the VHS tapes back in the '90's but lost them in a move.

We were only 30 miles from St. Helens when it blew. Luckily, we were on the opposite side of the eruption. Still had ash everywhere and the cleanup was a mess.
