h -  Iength of cable used to
haul trees from where

- they are felled to a

Oo ‘central location where
they could be trucked, or

floated, to ‘the market.

k ‘The chokerman was the

‘ man who attached the

. . ~ choker to the felled trees. °

The trees were felled

e and bucked (trimmed of

a their branches) and then

r the chokerman went to

; work. Hauling the choker

a chain from the donkey

m engine through the thick
underbrush, slipping the

_ _ cable around the log in
@ such a way that it
wouldn’t slip: off,
fastening the choker and ©
n then stepping back to let |
- . the steam engines ‘go to
9 work,
As soon as the choker
was free, he was at it

S again.

Competitions between.
chokermen developed on
a oe - the job, with overzealous
rac e new comers trying to
outdo the old hands and
the old hands racing for

the fun of it.
- ; And this grew. into the
Chokermen’s Race. If
you want to see logger’s

sweat, this is one event
you don’t want to miss.
