Boomboat assembling a lograft at Jordan River on Vancouver Island.

[@gumboot65]

Thank you for putting this vid up. I was a boom man in Southeast Alaska. . I Really enjoyed watching this!

[@williamrgrant]

Thanks for taking the time to film and post this. Fascinating to watch.

[@ianrkav]

Not exactly sure what he's doing, but he seems to be extremely good at it:-) Very agile running across those logs too.

[@gregruddell9936]

Totally awesome boom man. The "floating winch" is for securing the swifter wires among other uses.

[@januszcan-pol6067]

This man,knows his job He is amazing

[@gabeross515]

RIP Glen. The best to ever do it

[@noodlam]

Nice zoom in on that BBQ. Wow nice zoom.

[@tomservo5007]

2:41, uh, wtf was she doing ?

[@geekwithabs]

He made her ovaries hurt a lil for him when he started to run across the logs 😂

[@Thewhistleblows]

First time to see this and im 49

[@jsmcguireIII]

I wonder if he is also sorting while moving logs into the booms. I see they are debarked so that must have happened before they were dumped. These booms are then floated downriver to the mill? Thanks for posting.

[@LANDSEAAIRCANADA]

Nice, that location is great for photography TY

[@csmaster65]

Did she just come a little when he started running across the logs?

[@crispyglove]

Yes.

[@wendyponsford7428]

My dad used to do all that with a pike pole, by himself!

[@caseylimbert266]

Nice, the guy on the boat is busting his ass while the others are up by the camp fire drinkin beer... I'd be pissed off too!

[@manitobaman5588]

He is a log cowboy rounding up his herd. Each of the big logs can weigh tons, see they are very valauble.

[@I8ITSK8N]

Bet you he used to be a bad ass bumper car driver as a child lol (Excuse me Bumper boats) lol

[@AwkwardlyYou]

I had a job doing this in vancouver

[@securethebag1613]

Mans an amphibian

[@franzotto448]

was hat der nun gearbeitet oder geschafft mit dem Baumboot, keine Ahnung was dieses Spiel bringt. In Deutschland ein absolutes nogo what did he do or what did he do with the Boom Boat? No idea what this game brings. In Germany an absolute nogo

[@RoadartamFluss]

wower than wow

[@Mahalo_83]

Boat is steadier than the camera

[@gittesilberglarsen1262]

Hard to get Any sense of what he actually achieves. Kind of all over the place

[@thameswater2561]

great film, but it seems a lot of messing about for what.

[@seikibrian8641]

He assembles the individual logs that have been felled by the loggers into a raft, and the raft is then taken downriver to a mill. Just sending individual logs downriver would be time consuming (and time is money) and a hazard to navigation if any got past the mill and out into navigable waters. You can see the next phase of that kind of operation here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/paK2oqGega16qtE

[@colingough4566]

I dont get it, surely the cost of fuel and maintanance on that boat plus wages etc must out way the cost of the timber.

[@BurlingtonNorthernModeler]

Uh, definitely not

[@mack8488]

I bet he sleeps like a log......!!!😊
