Log salvage Powell river in HD

A sample of a short i'm doing on log salvage in the Straight of Georgia. A rare sight indeed these days, the log salvager is all but disappeared on the coast of British Columbia. A glimpse back into the giant logging industry that once was.

Give us a few more close ups of what your doing. Used to live here. Have a love for all things PR.

Texada Island in the back ground, looks like this was shot at Brew Bay... aka Douglas Bay.use to see lots of beachcombers back when I was a kid in the 60s and 70s.

I had understood that those logs catch thousands of $'s, even today in 2011. Is that still true? Did I see correctly? Did the boat stern completely submerge on the initial pull? I also would have liked to have seen the equipment (hooks, etc.) used to attach to the log. I bet that it takes several hours from start to finish.

I wish your sound on this video wasnt coming through all patchy like it is here.

He should have put a dog with the end of a chain in the middle of the log, then taken a few turns around the log then shackled the chain to the tow line and a few girl guides in a canoe could have rolled it into the water. Trying to make a buck by operating a boat in that manner explains at lot.

That log isn't worth twenty bucks. It a 'pulp' log. Only prime D. fir logs or maybe the odd old growth yellow cedar log is worth any real money and you'd never find any of those near P. R. The log booms that end up at P.R. are only intended for the pulp mill. There isn't a saw mill there. No his boat's stern did not come close to "completely" submerging. If this fool had operated a salvage or any boat I owned that way I'd fire him.
