Nice looking firewood, dried with no bark. Strong men who work hard and deserve to be warm on long winter nights with their Swedish lady. Much respect.
About the first one : It is typically Vosges (Alsace, Black Forest), the sleds/ sleighs are "schlittes". This way of transporting wood is called "schlittage" and people are "schlitteurs". "Man has always been dependent on nature and among others on the forest to provide for his needs in firewood, energy supply for industry and timber for construction. In our region, where the forest is steep, and before the advent of mechanical means and the creation of forest roads, the transport of wood to the road was carried out by human force. Loggers and foresters unloaded the logs by throwing (sliding) and firewood by means of sledges called “SCHLITT”. For the skidding of large woods (logs) a short sled was used at the front (le “bouc”, male goat) and a simple sleigh at the back (la “chèvre”, female goat). The drainage channels specially built for the sledding were made of beech quarters fixed by stakes. The sledding was a hard and tiring work; the ascent of the Schlitt was done by men, and the descent was full of dangers. Many accidents with often dramatic and sometimes fatal consequences. The Vosges massif and the village of Breitenbach are still marked by traces of this activity which continues to be occasionally practiced for the skidding of the affouages (firewood). The Alsatian nickname of the inhabitants of the village is also the best witness: «beilargretscherr», the gliders of the coat, from the name of the mountain overlooking the village.
This is a perfect example of "old time tough..." These men will put young men to shame! I do like how they designed the sleds to be tall enough to slide over them if they fall in front of them. Very cool design! They could just let them slide over them if they get out of control. Great video!
Those are some fairly time intensive plates. But you can't hate on it working! I love watching these videos. Gives me ideas on how to make things better from techniques I am not normally subjected too.

It's a mini version of "Skid Road". Where giant logs were pulled down roads across half buried logs. Of course they were using teams of horses. Also were shanty towns of bars and houses of prostitutes would pop up. Hence the term Skid Road, though most people use Skid Row.

Wow! I envy those guys' stamina, strong hands, strong bones, courage and true grit, not to mention their ingenuity. I thought the old redwood forest loggers, in old photos, were amazing - tiny little figures with their tiny little saws next to the behemoth trees they cut down (300+ feet tall; 7-8 ft around!). They used cattle, partial railroads and sometimes, unfortunately, streams and rivers (destroying the fisheries) to get the logs off the mountains. Still, it was a slow, laborious process and they couldn't get every last ancient redwood - not until later when gas-powered mechanization came in and the redwood forest was decimated. If they had to do what the loggers in this vid are doing - ingenious carts and wood slat roads - they wouldn't have done such damage. But they were certainly as amazingly strong and true gritty as these clever men.

You don't cut down living trees to burn for firewood. You'll have an awfully cold winter if you try burning green wood. You gotta find the good standing dead stuff. Try not being so dumb.
It's obvious you know nothing of forest management. Trees are selected for cutting, either because they have reached the right, or because they show signs of disease, or for some other practical reasons, NOT because of proximity to a road! These guys could have been my grand-father and some of his pals. That's precisely how it was done then in my native Swiss alpine valley. Even my mother's family name relate to the local word for the "chutes" cut through the forrest to "sleigh" down the logs during the winter.

12:38 Чёрная соль (кала намак) добывается в индийских Гималаях. Сырьё для её производства берут из солёных озёр Северной Индии - Самбхар или Дидвана. Для добычи чёрной соли используют самодельную печь, разогретую до 1000 градусов С. В неё составляют круглые горшки, наполненные сырой солью, смешанной с измельчёнными растениями и фруктами. Одна партия чёрной соли готовится 24 часа. После обжига, обожжённая соль плавится, происходит химическая реакция, после чего соль охлаждается, хранится и выдерживается перед продажей.

You think you know hard work, these mature gentlemen would say move aside “man-by” I’ve got stuff to do.
I should imagine that it’s done this way to preserve the forest and wildlife, protecting it from huge machines ripping up the countryside. Plus I would also think that it is pretty inaccessible to machinery.
@@peterstratten3087 Perhaps these people should be given a course regarding investments; Affordable machinery can handle heavy workload faster and more efficiently which in turn generated more income.

It is the old ways from before machines. Too steep for horses too when there is a cart behind. I bet it was used for big stones too. Put two pieces of wood under the stone and let it glide over wood too. With some extra grease if needed.
@@nevadaboy9769 No. Just Tradition. And it might be a protective forest that protects the farms from avalanches. Often the ground is sensitive to heavy equipment. Any damage of the ground might bring a danger to the farms in the long term.

This is great. Simple is always better. Only a city person from some liberal area would say such dumb things about this process. Shocked by some of the dumb comments but hey someone had to have voted for Biden and harris😮
They could order some firewood by truck from a less steep area. But these people like the traditional ways and dont want to spend money for it. A truckload would probably cost them 1000 Dollars.
There is virtue in soil for farmers. There is virtue in wood. Cutting firewood was the hardest job I ever loved to do. Much like harvesting a deer in the forest and processing everything yourself, there is virtue to be found working in the natural world that GOD gave us.
NOT- this is how they did it back then in the alps of north Italy, Austria and Switzerland. I still know Mountain-Farmers who carry their Hey this way down the Hill.

A lot more efficient than wheels!😊❤
Works surprisingly well 👍💯
What grown men will do to get away from his wife and kids.
LMAO!!!
What grown men will do to put food on the table for their wife and kids.
Yep! So true 😂😂
What grown men will do to heat the house for a winter so the wife and kids don't bitch about how cold it is for 5 months straight.
Derp.
Опасная, тяжёлая мужская работа. Моё безграничное уважение, судари ❤
I should imagine that it’s done this way to preserve the forest and wildlife, protecting it from huge machines ripping up the countryside. Plus I would also think that it is pretty inaccessible to machinery.
@@peterstratten3087 Perhaps these people should be given a course regarding investments; Affordable machinery can handle heavy workload faster and more efficiently which in turn generated more income. It also saves a lot of time for other tasks which could also means more income.. The quicker money is earned, the more time one has 'cuz time is money. 🤑🤑🤑
It is the old ways from before machines. Too steep for horses too when there is a cart behind. I bet it was used for big stones too. Put two pieces of wood under the stone and let it glide over wood too. With some extra grease if needed.
I would guess it's because of there religion like Amish or something!
@@nevadaboy9769 No. Just Tradition. And it might be a protective forest that protects the farms from avalanches. Often the ground is sensitive to heavy equipment. Any damage of the ground might bring a danger to the farms in the long term.
Like a wagon with wheels?
Amazing, amazing, amazing!!!❤
They don't need a gym.
How resourceful!what a brilliant yet practical idea! I didnt expect this from a Caucasian of highly developed country where technologically advanced implements abound.
Technique ancestrale du schlittage dans les Vosges, qui avait été remise en lumière dans le film "Les grandes gueules", dans les années 1960 (Lino Ventura, Bourvil,...)
Les grandes gueules
My mom talked about her grandpa's generation logging in the winter in northern Canada using sleds.
wow this is awesome
I'm not sure which is the most fantastic challenge... sliding down with all that weight or carrying those sleds ALL THE WAY back up... and how many trips do they do in one day?
You wouldn’t know from watching this, that Switzerland has one of the highest per capita income in the world.
ONCE SWITZERLAND OPENS ITS BORDERS FOR A FREE FOR ALL , SHE WILL TURN INTO A 4TH WORLD SHIT HOLE JUST LIKE USA !!
absolutely scary but truly amazing
Work harder not smarter.
一个谁不知道如何工作得很好，工作了很多。
He who does not know how to work well works hard.
Que grande es el ser humano. Da lastima pensar que muchos oficios como estos, probablemente, se perdererán. Saludos desde Asturias.
what was that red stuff in the Pots
Cristal,vidrio.😊
They are making salt
@@vnnd919 Fascinating. Thank you for giving a direction. The lack of video segment descriptors was a bit of an annoyance. It's Himalayan black salt, if anyone is further interested.
"Would you like staples with your rice?"
"Yes, please."
At least we now know they are still waiting for the wheel to be invented in Switzerland. Should we tell them?
😂😂😂
NO
Schlitte in french Vosges. In Mountain, more efficient and safety than wheels.
I pray HEAVENLY BLESSINGS ON ALL THESE HARD WORKING MEMS.
I PRAY NO WEAPONS FORMED AGAINST THEM WILL PROSPER, AND NO EVIL SPOKING AGAINST THEM WILL HURT THEM, BUT I PRAY OUR HEAVENLY FATHER FAVOR 🙏 ON THEM FOR EVER AND EVER. I PRAY IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST AMEN 🙏 AMEN 🙏
One tool for both winter and summer,
Basically, just a smaller version of what a horse was used for. I’m impressed.
This is great. Simple is always better. Only a city person from some liberal area would say such dumb things about this process. Shocked by some of the dumb comments but hey someone had to have voted for Biden and harris😮
They could order some firewood by truck from a less steep area. But these people like the traditional ways and dont want to spend money for it. A truckload would probably cost them 1000 Dollars.
Are you sure they are liberals? We like to read about history, not burn it.
Here we go again a Trumper whining about getting wood🤡😭🦤💨
There is virtue in soil for farmers. There is virtue in wood. Cutting firewood was the hardest job I ever loved to do. Much like harvesting a deer in the forest and processing everything yourself, there is virtue to be found working in the natural world that GOD gave us.
Amazing work. Teamwork makes the dream work.
And thats how the BK Whopper gets its flame broil taste around the world!
Wahnsinn 👀 👍 Hut ab, mein Respekt habt ihr😁🤗
Amish bobsled team
NOT- this is how they did it back then in the alps of north Italy, Austria and Switzerland. I still know Mountain-Farmers who carry their Hey this way down the Hill.
11:40 That wood thingy leaning on the pillar is probably a critical part of the buildings stability.
Why do they still use primitive tools for such heavy work? There are many mining and transport machines for such work.
No entiende que ancianos pobres, razona por favor, en vez de orar por ellos no critiques a hombres ejemplares.
Mezquindad de persona.
Maybe we Americans wouldn't be so fat and unhealthy and all our land and water polluted if we all stuck with the old ways
Dios los siga bendiciendo 🙏🙏😘
Amazing. No gloves, and so well dressed!
