Hi Stan, I'm a fan, you should definitely post more videos. Loved the fish camp videos. My wife's mother used to travel up to Alaska every year or two and bring back native foods. My wife, when she was much younger, spent time with her grandmother at fish camp. I miss the traditional smoked salmon, herring eggs & seal grease and dry fish. I've even tried cockels once, but I couldn't develope a taste for those. Watching your fish camp videos makes me want to try it down here, just not in the same volume. Thanks for the videos, Sir.

The boat is a welded one and bridal on back is tied to heavy welded rings on back. Would not try this on a riveted on handled boat as it would rip them off. The rope is the weak link which you want. On my end if it can't pull log you feel a slow stopping of the boat and that's all. If the rope breaks near the log the whole length of the rope can end up flying into your back though

Probably too old a video to ask, but I've seen videos on making rafts in Alaska, but I've never seen exactly how you process them once there. Do you have something to pull the logs out of the water for cutting, or do you sacrifice a blade and cut them all in the water?
@stanzuray
5 жыл бұрын
Not sure what you are asking but logs for a raft are used as is without cutting except for a single cut for length . Logs I make into lumber I winch out of water up into my camp and spray down with water to get silt off and them cut up.
@jimf1964
5 жыл бұрын
Stan Zuray Yeah, that was basically the answer. You have some sort of winch to haul them out of the water so you can cut them. I was just wondering because the logs must be so darn heavy. Especially ones that have spent a week in the water. How the heck would you lift a 30ft log? Like I have a hard time imagining how you would deal with something so large,heavy, and unwieldy way up there without some heavy equipment. Maybe that would be a good video idea, is how you process and what you do with the logs once you get them home? Thanks Stan
