Vintage logging – skidding

Each Saturday morning I review 10 vintage logging, forestry and saw milling photos. This week’s review of vintage logging is about skidding logs out of the forest and a few of the different ways that job was accomplished.

Click on the images to view larger pictures. If the pictures are not larger, I don’t have an explanation as to why it might not be showing for you. Some people can see them, others cannot.
