    I wonder what kind of technologies enabled y'all to produce the authentic looking visuals like the logger surfing down a flume?  How big is (was) your production company?

    Very informative & educational.

    Interestingly informative & entertaining 🤗. Not an occupation for the faint of hearted 😵. Excellent reenactments  enabling viewers 👀 to better understand what the orator is describing 😉. Remember touring abandoned logging camps in Western Washington last century 🤗

    My best friends family owned pacific lumber...they had a great connection with there workers. If you worked for that company you had housing ,stores,banks,that you were entitled to. The murphy family are great people and very good employers.
