Grandfather. Part I. Winter - Horse Logging

This is the first part of short documentary series about Grandfather. The movie uncovers one day in his life that has been shown in 15 minutes. It talks about his daily routine and dedication to his down to earth lifestyle his fathers lived. His passion and love is horses. He is an old and experienced horse logger and is doing all the farm work all year round using only horse power. He is a hard worker and fully self-sufficient and independent. He has been living off the grid, before there even was a grid. More series about him will come in Spring, Summer and Autumn. Honour the elders! Stay tuned.

My grandfather farmed till he was 74, and is by far the manliest man I've ever met. But my grandpa fell to the temptations of technology. Your grandfather is a true man in every respect. Not only has he earned my respect, but also my love.

Someone said we may needs these skills again one day. But we need them again right now today, for our spirit and for our future.

It's in the heart of a true logger, to always be doing something .never meet a lazy logger. We are a special kind of people it usually is breed into ya.. My whole family and most of our kin all work in the woods.my grandfather raised 11 kids on cutting firewood, he had a contract to supply the school all 240 cords of wood per year. It's how they cooked and heated the school back then ..They actually heated water for showers with the wood. Every day they fell dead trees in the forest and horse logged it to a landing where they cut split and loaded a old truck that held 5 cords when it was full it went to town to the school, re stock and back to the woods. The big old flat bed was the family car also, only rig he had for a while . He moved his family here for the work. Came from Colorado. To a hole in the wall called paisley ore. This is a great video brought back loads of memories. Thanks

Dear Sir,
This was just wonderful to watch Honourable Grandfather doing everything independently. There is a certain serenity & even a spiritual feeling about his lifestyle. Sometimes I wonder if humanity has truly made any progress with all this new technology that seems to rob us of our own humane side. Kind regards.

His life calls to my heart...I was made for more than the life I'm living.

So strange that what we would consider as so little (what this man has) would be so much more than what we have...

My utmost respect for this man! He truly lives a life worth living.

4:56 - There's nothing more relaxing that looking into a warm fire. I used to sit with my grandad many Sundays beside the range (stove) just watching the fire

What an immense joy it was to watch this video! Just to see the routine of an old farmer of the Northland is amazing, if you could PLEASE make more videos just like this, I will watch them over and over again...

I lived in a small village in Ukraine when I was a child. Now I live in a big city in another country far away from my family. All these sounds bring me the best memories I've got. That snow cracking, the breath of a horse, pigs eating, the man milking the cow.. This is really nostalgic and is just wonderful to remember where do I come from and why I must stay humble as I always was

[therandom]

Have to love and respect the old ways. Wish I'd learned a few more. You never know we may need them again

[scholeksterthijs]

I wish I would have filmed my grandparents when they were still alive. There is great wisdom in living with the land, and it is getting lost in this generation if we don't stop it. Keep it up, and thank you for sharing this.
