Nice to see someone here in 2024.

He would have had to have fought me it was not up to him to say you couldn't talk he wasn't the boss he was just a cook

My grandma Oien raised the turkeys for the Xmas and New Years Rainy Lake Hotel...for decades!!! The only photos I do NOT have are of the turkeys, and grandma, when she picked up an AXE. you knew someone/something was going to be dumplings by nightfall. We all bailed: barn cats, the dog, me, the turkeys.!!

@@Joe-qv6jh sad but true

Yeah my granddad worked in the logging woods. I never asked him but is that true about not being allowed to talk at breakfast or meals I mean what right did they cook have to tell them they could' not talk I mean it wasn't like there was some kind of top government secret mission good god

@@JohnWest-zq5gs it's absolutely true, and they brought the habit home. My grandfather had that rule at home and my father had this tradition in our family. Only this new generation is talking at mealtime in my family. The reason, originally was so the men didn't grumble their way into a fistfight and ruin everyone's meal, because eating well was essential to keep the men working hard.

@@sid7088 yeah that's true eat and go to work but did the guy know he was not supposed to talk if he knows that then the cook was right

@@sid7088 yeah and by night time they were too tired to talk lol

@@sid7088 yeah logging separated the men from the boys

@@Joe-qv6jh maybe maybe not

@@Joe-qv6jh I wouldn't have worked there anyway because I would have had a better job making way more money we got lots of land with lots of timber on it they would have probably work for us and I will probably fired the cook and say you don't send a man out without eating it dangerous

I didn't know but I got from an old guy that I transferred from film

they didn't want you talking your purpose for being there was get to work I guess if they were allowed to talk at breakfast they would do more talking than eating they want them to eat and get to work no BS they didn't play in those days I'm a logger I cut timber sometimes I'll cut up on the landing but nowadays they pay a timber cutter pretty good money Logging has sure changed from those days but they would never get away with that now not letting a man finish his meal they would be slept with so many lawsuits they would bankrupt the company another interesting point this guy the other day was saying there's going to be a civil War in this country I said you're full of it I said are you kidding me this generation fight a civil war they couldn't put their iPhones down long enough or they're Nintendo games or get their lazy butts off the couch very weak generation he said well they fought a revolution in 1776 I said there's a hell of a big difference then and now I said those men have bought in the revolutionary War were tough as nails today they're just little rubbermen lol

Scott I just shot and posted for info if u don't like thats fine but try not to be a liberal with name calling Canadians are fine people but we will check with u in future as u seem to have all the answers

@@trmn348 He does it for profit holy shit.

This was film in New York Adirondack mountains. From footage Rev Reed took of many logging operations. He also recalls many names of the men.

It was the film it was old and missing little spots on audio track
