We spent the day with Gerald Schmidt and crew while they felled a large white pine with a rare vintage two-man chain saw, bucked it to 8.5-foot lengths, loaded it on a sled and hauled it out of the woods to the landing, navigating a hill that proved to be no problem for Gerald's powerful and well-trained Belgian horses. Watch for the full episode on Rural Heritage on RFD-TV in May. | Rural Heritage Magazine

Several years ago, Gerald Schmidt of Rice Lake, Wis., and his son, Josh, invited me up to watch them log with Gerald's big Belgian team. This clip begins with Gerald calling to his team to come to him using only voice commands. They cross-haul load the logs and pull them out of the woods, including up a fairly long grade, to the road where they will be loaded on a truck. They use an antique two-man chain saw to bring down the tree they are harvesting. You can see the entire episode on our youtub

Jason Julian, two of his sons, and a bunch of his friends got together and did a little logging as a group. Part of the morning was to serve as a lesson for a couple young horses, part to provide instruction to a couple beginning horseloggers, and part to just get together and tell stories and jokes. Here is a little footage from the day. The full episode will be on our RFD-TV program in May and on our YouTube channel a few days later. www.youtube.com/ruralheritage | Rural Heritage Magazine
