Matakohe kauri - Roadside Stories

[@YounGDRIZZY92]

Sad that all those trees are gone. Respect to those hard men that were out there just doing their job and trying to survive. Wish they hadn't cut down so many is all. Great video

Awesome storytelling . Thank you.

So sad our trees got cut down. ☹️☹️

[@RyokanDaigu]

The deforestation of New Zealand is a true ecological distaster. These men probably had no idea of the consequences.

May those who cut these trees never rest in peace.

This was a fairly long time ago. These men did not get paid much and worked very hard. They faced death every week with many casualties resulting from dangerous conditions in the bush and on the rail road. Quite a few men died from improperly built and unstable train tracks, and if the locomotive’s engine malfunctioned. But the dangers didn’t stop at civilisation, in the bush as well countless men died and suffered life altering injuries usually from blunt force trauma from trees falling on them. All of the men who worked felling trees or mill working, firemen, and brakemen were pardoned from fighting in WW2 as this line of work was MANDATORY to the war efforts as the timber that these men made was used to make barracks and other temporary buildings. It was these men who helped fight for YOUR freedom so Hitler and his nazi’s wouldn’t take over the world. Would you rather let some men cut down some big trees, or, be controlled by an extremely suppressive communist government who wanted to exterminate all Jews, people of colour, gay people, and disabled people.

The stupid narrator is sayings this like they took down the tree like its an act of greatness.
