I believe he's in Finland, but that's all right.
Most of the loggers in the UP were Finns. Got imported for their logging skills, clear cut the land, then built farms.

There is a song about the girls at the county fair all wanting to dance with a guy who could ride the logs, they had the best footwork.

In Michigan's Upper Peninsula, the rivers were too shallow to float logs down to the mills. They would dam these creeks till they flooded with spring run off, put the logs they had cut all winter (frozen ground is hard, easier to work on) in the water, then blow the dam up. This in theory would carry the logs down stream to the mill. To keep the logs from jamming up, there were guys like him that road the logs down stream and kept them moving.

Looks like a bottle of Makers Mark in the back ground at the .40 time stamp.

That’s a good idea. Set it up as a wet vac. Put some water in the collection tub and turn it on.

Yeah, I wish I'd have thought of Pat Riots idea, couple gallons water some Dawn. Turns out being sucked up a ribbed hose is hard on bees, some still moving , most were dead. I thought about spraying bee killer in the hose, but could only imagine that spray hitting a spark in the motor.
