Cosa tratta questo video
Garrett and Ruth harvest three Douglas fir trees from a forest grove to serve as potential masts for their boat.0:41 The team uses a chainsaw to fell the trees, noting that the process is significantly faster than their previous attempt a year ago, when they spent two days felling a single white fir using only an axe, ropes, and a two-wheel drive truck.10:24 This year, the crew utilizes a tractor and chains to move the timber, reducing the extraction time to two hours.10:35 The transport involves navigating six 90-degree turns through the forest, with the crew using spacers to protect the wood from road rash during the haul.13:44 While the team experiences technical failures with their cameras and phones during the felling, they successfully retrieve the logs for future boat construction.8:47 The project highlights the transition from manual hand-tool labor to mechanized forestry equipment for sourcing boat-building materials.10:28
