Dull chains cause accidents.  Accidents cause shorter life spans.
You don't sharpen a chain when it gets dull.  You sharpen a chain to keep it from getting dull.

Shown are Pirogues.  A Pirogue is a flat bottom canoe designed to turn over (been there done that).  These guys are cutting cypress trees while standing in the Pirogue.

Very interesting after watching that a fellow can understand why we have rules about the environment. But they worked hard to get the job done thanks for scharing.

I'm a little confused. At the start of the clip, they show someone taking a load of Spanish Moss to gin. I've put tonic water in gin, I've put tomato juice, horseradish, woo sauce, celery etc in gin, I've even put grapefruit juice in gin.

When we were kids, my sister got the bright idea to gather Spanish Moss, pile it in the back of my Grandfather's wagon, and let him pull us around for a hayride. The red bugs et us alive. So what was it they were using Spanish Moss for back in the day?

I'm sure they all had a handful of coal dust in their soup too.  Labor and life were cheap then.
It's the going that counts not the distance!

WHEW I cannot imagine the irreversible effects of erosion those men caused on the banks of that river.  But they knew no better.  I am glad we do it different now.  Well some of us do.  Thanks for sharing

You got that right.  Spanish moss is a Red Bug Hotel.

Must of been a regional thing. Around these parts, dipping turpentine was the big industry.

Pretty neat video.  The remains of a similar "train dump" are at the edge of Big Eagle Lake along the Allagash river in Maine.  I have seen the tramway, tracks and locomotives, what is still there, pretty neat to see how it actually worked.  Imagine what OSHA would say about that set up today!!!
