'How America Works’: Lumber

[@TacoStacks]

Mike Rowe is amazing!

[@523FILMS]

Time for some paid likes !

[@firstlast476]

why?

[@stevenm3141]

These are some of the people that live in not so good conditions to make other peoples lives better. No college degree here just trying to get by from day to day. They are the unseen heroes of the country!

[@hapticgaming]

pretty sure the pay is good thought.

[@jamelpatterson4789]

So... Fun fact Trevor has a BS Degree in Forestry and the other men interviewed each had 20+ years of experience. They devote their lives to this seasonal high paying job. Without a degree or lots of experience or connections this is not the job for the average American hopeful.

[@firstlast476]

loggers ? they make good money . they drink it away though. lol

[@LucidDreamer54321]

I worked in the lumber business for a couple years cutting trees. I had one tree that split and fell the wrong way. I tripped and fell when I tried to run. I just happened to land where there was a low spot on the ground. So I didn’t get crushed and was able to crawl out from under the tree.

[@cheems5643]

Did you quit after

[@LucidDreamer54321]

@Cheems Not until a few months later. I didn't even take the rest of that day off.

[@ugaas3074]

How much you make working there?

[@LucidDreamer54321]

@Ugaas Not much, but that was about 30 years ago. I don't know how much they get paid now.

[@TheWizardGamez]

Must’ve sucked. Hope you had some spare parts

[@unitedcanada4886]

America and Canada are United. Get rid of tariffs. Support each other.

[@bighands69]

Tariffs can sometime be good thing because it means the US still has an industry and it means both countries can function industrially. What Canada needs to do is to use its own raw materials to build its own industries that then exports that value to the US and vice versa.

[@koori3085]

Thank you fellas, we couldn't live without you!

[@iloveadventures6710]

Where does Oxygen come from??? If they don't replant, WE WON'T LIVE!

[@AnhDinh-s4u]

I loved Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe. So glad I found his new series.

[@carlsmith5545]

I dont know about othe states but i say to you all who work in Pennsylvania. Please work safely. If something really bad happens to you and you become disabled, you will struggle to live for the rest of your life. If your injuries are due to the falts of your employer, the state protects the employer because it's against the law to sue your employer for negligence. Just one of many reasons as to why i dont vote, for no one. So all you hard working people in Pennsylvania and the rest of the country please, be safe.....

[@joycethomas632]

Good job Mike Rowe as always keeping it real🇺🇸👍

[@L337KidKuso]

There is a certain dignity that I, myself, take from work. It's a gratification that, although delayed, always puts me ahead of where I was, day-to-day.

[@Expandacraftboats]

[@kresimirmilisa5560]

this guys are amazing workers.

[@michaelmaas5544]

Lifelong carpenter here, I have seen lumber from Brazil, New Zealand and Chile just seems crazy to me.

[@dertythegrower]

Mike Rowe 2024

[@vaughnslavin9784]

I worked in a S.W. Oregon "big log" mill for just shy of 18 years. All but 3 months of that with a peg leg due to an equipment failure. People have little idea how much labor goes into producing a simple 2X4. There is no forgiveness of mistakes when working with machines and raw materials that weigh tons. To see a head rig slicing up a 4' log with a 20' tall bandsaw is amazing. The closure of the mill in 2003 was devastating to the local economy. Thanks Bill Clinton for regulating the industry out of business.

[@stephenhunter6507]

at 7:00 I could hear the "Shake Hands With Danger" guitar riff in my mind.

[@ccfd1996]

Mike Rowe videos are the best.

[@robertwilliams2623]

I worked for 30 years cutting tree and loved ever day of it .I got hurt one time a top of a tree came out and hit my hard hat was in the hospital for two week never seen it coming

[@brucewelty7684]

All that wonderful board beet of lumber and all you can get at the big box stores is JUNK!

[@morrisl7]

They forgot the part where most of it goes overseas in exchange for cheap Chinese junk that breaks all the time.

[@sminthian]

I used to live in Kodiak AK and worked with the surrounding islands sometimes. They're in the process of clearing out all of the spruce trees on the islands...and sending all of it directly to China.

[@TheSmartLawyer]

We need to boycott all Chinese products and slap tariffs on it.

[@bighands69]

Most of it does not go overseas it is used in US construction and industry. There is a significant number that does go to China.

[@baddriversofthenorcalarea500]

I hate to say it, but I’ve had more “Made In America” items break than made in China ones.

[@johnward5890]

I have piled green lumber on the boardways here in Canada's north in the cold winter months with iciles hanging off my beard at night in -60 below. you want to keep moving in that tempature just to stay warm in your steel toed boots. Boardways are outside off the heated saw mill where the lumbers are run throught the bulledger and resaws. worked on those job too. Loved pushing full size cants throught the bulledger and seeing 10x 12 inch planks come of the other side or swinging 6x6 hearts on the board way 16 feet long.

[@zachary7656]

Mike rowe is an American hero for what he did with dirty jobs!

[@tedmurphy63]

I can’t believe that with the supply chain issues, we are putting tariffs on lumber when we can’t meet domestic demand. The US Lumber Coalition is ridiculous. Hope you’re happy guys.

[@powerbeast5691]

Mafias dont run casinos anymore. They bribe politicians instead. Here in Las Vegas there was basically just one Internet operator up until recently when 5G arrived - the crooked politicians cant stop radio transmission!

[@tedmurphy63]

For those who don’t know, US timber mills take advantage of our trade laws that end in duties on softwood lumber. We depend on like 25-30% of Canadian softwood because we can’t produce enough. Those duties artificially keep the price of lumber high, especially when demand is up. Only hurts end users like first time homebuyers and middle class homeowners trying to renovate. But hey, timber mills are making bank so all is good!!

[@tianxiangxiong8223]

@@tedmurphy63 You'd rather foreign mills make 💵 off American consumers than support production & jobs here? That doesn't sound very America First.

[@taylorc2542]

The Canadians were flooding the market because they are more subsidized than the US market. The USFS doesn't subsidize timber like they did in the 80s.

[@tedmurphy63]

@@taylorc2542 these are talking points from the timber mills. 100% false that dumping occurs here. The overwhelming majority of our timber is domestically sourced. You can’t dump material if the majority of it is from that particular country.

[@jolyonwelsh9834]

By being homeless, I can conserve these natural resources.

[@bighands69]

The US has no shortage of those resources and the same goes for Canada. The US has over 300 billion trees and also has a planting program to keep it cycling. Canada has a similar number of trees.

[@hankkima624]

I’ve been interested in how the large systems in our civilization work. This is it!

[@derekbaker777]

There should be workers to go in after the loggers have clear cut a forest and plant more trees than they cut down to insure plentiful wood for future generations to come, and just keep planting trees every time a big area gets cut down. And we should keep in mind the length of time it takes for a tree to grow, and become strong, which I'm sure is 3+ years, so trees should be planted immediately after a clear cut to keep the cycle going and avoid running into shortage issues. Conservation type of work it should fall to, and it would create more jobs at the same time. This type of work may already exist, and I hope it does otherwise it would lead to us having a wood shortage and that's not good and could hurt us in many ways.

[@Mike-bs5xi]

Lol that’s manly work stay safe men

[@patrickskelly7520]

Lumber is so expensive now, I've decided to use gold bricks for building. It's cheaper.

[@bighands69]

That is what happens when economies are restricted.

[@timw4369]

most lumber comes from Canada in raw logs being shipped to the US. They bought the canadian mills then shut them down. Supply and demand.

[@blz480]

[@sprucesoldier]

Canada is the Number 1 Producer!💪🏻👌🏻🌲🇨🇦

No the US is the world's largest lumber producer with over 16 billion cubic feet of production.

[@sprucesoldier]

[@rawbacon]

@@sprucesoldier "Forests cover about one-third of the land area of the U.S.A., and though Canada has a much larger area of forests, the U.S.A. produces about three times as much timber."

[@yuvegotmale]

I could not imagine doing that for a living....glad someone can.........................

[@JJJheimerschmidt]

It's funny how hard it is to see the actual percentage of wood imported into the u.s. They tell you it's up in the overseas import and down from Canadian import but never-this is how much wood is imported in total. I bet it's more than 50%. That means this video should start with Canadians cutting there trees and providing them to u.s. markets.

[@bighands69]

Nope the figure is not 50%. There are certain types of wood that have to be imported because of their specific nature. The vast majority of cedar that is used in the US is felled in the US. And the same applies to pine.

[@billharth7974]

I like how they say that America is the largest lumber industry. Then the next sentence they say there in prince Edward Island logging. That's in Canada 🇨🇦 brother. We are one of the largest lumber producers who supplies America. You guys buy vast amounts of our lumber. Leave it to Americans to say there the best at everything lol.

[@bighands69]

US lumber production is in excess of 16 billion cubic feet per year making it the world's largest. Canada has the world's second largest lumber industry which is very impressive considering its population of 38 million.

[@JCarter3000]

This looks relatively pleasant compared to logging in swampy Louisiana summertime. It is so hot and worst of all humid here, we can barely think about how we want to cut and haul the wood. Considering putting next years' payroll allocations into R&D for a solar-powered weather-proof robotic system for these 100+ degree/100% humidity months (jk.) Sadly, I understand 2022 is a lot hotter all over the US/West Coast (and world) but comments about the future of Earth and its forests may be unwelcome since it's FOX and it's not a popular topic with Lobbyists for natural resources...

[@CrowCreekOutdoors]

[@marlenevideos8666]

How many trees they plant as a "policy" for each tree they cut down? Please Mr. Rowe please answer or Trevor who's a, tree cutter.

[@delwinfielder3323]

Generally they are planted in 8x8 rows.maybe up to 8to1.

Lowest number is about 3 to 1. So for every tree that is felled 3 are planted.

Why do you need a degree to cut a tree?

[@bighands69]

So as to be involved in the management of the forests. He probably did that degree while working on the job. He will more than likely move on from felling as he gets older and move into management. Those are the sorts of people that you want in industry that have the hands on experience and education. You do not want those that have gone to college and then get into management with zero experience as they will probably give the trees pronouns and start protesting their own jobs.
