I have been reading a book on adirondack guides and people from the 1800's and these guys (loggers) used to chop down 3ft round trees for a living, getting around 50-75 a day!! After reading this I sharpend my axe and went down into the property, picked a large enough tree that I have wanted out for a while and began to chop, Took me an hour to take it down and I'm a big guy...needless to say there was no way i was going to do even 20 in a day!!
I was wondering if anyone still does manual labor anymore, maybe for work (plowing w/animal power, hand cut beams, etc..) or just the appreciation for those who have come before and to gain respect for the way things used to be...world might be better off if we were all forced to see how good we have it now!
