Still water. I had one more
question and we were talking abt
this yesterday. Why the flannel?
Why is flannel such a big deal?
Yeah, it's great.
Looks great on me, I think.
But why the flannel?
I don't know.
Do you know the what are the or?
You Alright?
So put yourself in the 1800s
and you're dropping trees down.
But you don't have the machinery to do it.
You're doing it with hand equip,
like a crosscut. Sour and Axe.
We got to see each other out th.
It's winter, it's white, so reds
something that sticks out everywhere.
So when the tree starts to fall,
you can see where the other
lumberjacks are really quickly.
You got it.
Timber. The flannel is warm and probably
thicker in case it cut through it. I don't
know exactly. Yeah,
in the winter it's it's cold,
so you're working your tail off.
And the red shows up against
the white background.
So I don't know about yours.
You probably blended with the c.
You're new here. You'll figure it out.
I'll get better at this whole flannel thing,
I promise. All right,
so you guys have a what is this Hacksaw?
No, this is a crow.
Crosscut sides. I don't know.
I'm guessing, but I don't know things.
A crosscut side.
So this is one of your competit?
Yeah. So
Brad and I are gonna do the
double buck demonstration.
He's on one side, I'm on the ot.
We pull back and forth until we
cut through that block of wood,
and it's usually a race against someone
else doing the exact same thingd
when the wood falls, that's the winner.
You got it. OK, let's see it.
Let's give it a go here.
I'll count you in. Ready. Steady. Go.
There we go, there we go.
How fresh, any fingers lost,
what's, what are the keys to th?
What are some of the hidden tricks to
making sure that you do this competition
well? So usually we're anchored down a
little bit better and then we can use
the long strokes. So Brad and Ie
using the whole length of the s,
where a lot of times at first pe
want to go as fast as they possibly can.
And they're using short strokes.
So the sawdust actually gets stuck in all
these. And there's a lot of friction.
So Brad and I had the long stro.
And we're clear.
Note that sawdust in every stro.
And we're able to cut pretty quick. Wow.
OK. I love the smell of wood and lumber.
Yeah,
I'm
gonna try. Can he try or danger.
Yeah. We. You and Guy should go at it.
Me. Yeah. I would love to see t.
I'm just gonna be the now Did
that thing way more than me.
All right, guys, don't lose any limbs.
We'll try not to. Sure,
we're all limbs away from the w.
Got one more stirring cut, Okay.
One hand on top, one on bottom,
and we're actually gonna stand to the side.
If you stand in the front,
you're gonna take one in the fr.
It's not gonna feel very good.
There you go.
Are you left-handed or right-ha?
Right on that side.
All you got to do is pull back.
You've got this guy.
Look at that stance.
Look at that. Yes.
Wow,
GE,
this is the hardest part.
We're in the center there.
I'm impressed, guys.
Dason. Dason. OK, let me
tell you. I'll try again.
I'll try again, OK.
This is like the Olympics.
You guys fishing for jacks now?
Wow, that's hard. My, I didn't
even go to the gym for the next
movie. Yeah, I had a
little bit to get through.
So. Right, folks?
