Equipment, Logging Scenes

Unloading the trucks
into Northwest Bay
near Cowichan Bay

Logging Spar
used in High Lead Logging
notice all the guy wires used to hold it vertical
2 metal cables were used.
Main Line for winching logs in,
and lighter Haulback line
to return the chokers to the chokermen.
Height was required to lift the butt end
of the logs out of the bush.
the wood poles were replaced with metal,
then replaced with Sherman tanks
modified for the job.

I think these are the winches for the spar above
on a low bed moving to a new site.
2 winches. One for main line and one for haulline
complete with engine to run them.

Boss paying the Logging Show a visit

Crummy
Actually just a truck with
closed box on the back,
with seats like a bus.
Used to transport the workers into the bush,
from the Logging camps.
Cab separate from the bus part.
