'''Lumberjacks''' are mostly [[North America]]n workers in the [[logging]] industry who perform the initial harvesting and transport of trees for ultimate processing into [[forest product]]s. The term usually refers to loggers in the era (before 1945 in the United States) when trees were felled using hand tools and dragged by oxen to rivers. The work was difficult, dangerous, intermittent, low-paying, and involved living in primitive conditions. However, the men built a traditional culture that celebrated strength, [[masculinity]], confrontation with danger, and resistance to modernization.<ref>{{ |

Lumberjacks worked in lumber camps and often lived a migratory life, following timber harvesting jobs as they opened.<ref>Rohe, 1986</ref> Being a lumberjack was seasonal work. Lumberjacks were exclusively men. They usually lived in [[bunkhouse]]s or tents. Common equipment included the [[axe]] and [[cross-cut saw]]. Lumberjacks could be found wherever there were vast forests to be harvested and a demand for wood, most likely in Scandinavia, Canada, and parts of the United States. In the U.S., many lumberjacks were of Scandinavian ancestry, continuing the family tradition. American lumberjacks were first centred in north-eastern states such as Maine. They then followed the general [[American frontier|westward migration]] on the continent to the [[Upper Midwest]], and finally the [[Pacific Northwest]]. [[Stewart Holbrook]] documented the emergence and [[American frontier|westward migration]] of the classic American lumberjack in his first book, ''Holy Old Mackinaw: A Natural History of the American Lumberjack''. He often wrote colourfully about lumberjacks in his subsequent books, romanticizing them as hard-drinking, hard-working men. Logging camps were slowly phased out between World War II and the early 1960s as crews could by then be transported to remote logging sites in motor vehicles.<ref>Smith (1972)</ref> |

A specialty form of logging involving the felling of trees for the production of [[railroad tie]]s was known as tie hacking. These lumberjacks, called tie hacks, used saws to fell trees and cut to length, and a [[broad-axe]] to flatten two or all four sides of the log to create railroad ties. Later, portable saw mills were used to cut and shape ties. Tie hacking was an important form of logging in Wyoming and northern Colorado and the remains of tie hacking camps can be found on National Forest land. The remains of flumes can be seen near [[Dubois, Wyoming]],<ref>{{cite book | title=Knights of the Broadax; the Story of the Wyoming Tie Hack | author=Pinkerton, Joan | year=1981 | |

In addition, a decaying splash dam exists near the Old Roach site as well. There, tie hacks attempted to float logs down to the Laramie River for the annual spring tie drives, and the splash dam was used to collect winter snow-melt to increase the water flow for the tie drive.<ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?isbn=1502768496 |title=History of Jelm, Wyoming |volume=1 |first=Keith |last=Jones |page=17}}</ref> |

Chainsaws, [[harvester (forestry)|harvesters]], and feller bunchers are now used to cut or fell trees. The tree is turned into logs by removing the limbs (delimbing) and cutting it into logs of optimal length (bucking). The felled tree or logs are moved from the stump to the landing. Ground vehicles such as a [[skidder]] or [[forwarder]] can pull, carry, or shovel the logs. Cable systems "cars" can pull logs to the landing. Logs can also be flown to the landing by helicopter. Logs are commonly transported to the sawmill using trucks. Harvesting methods may include [[clear cutting]] or [[selective cutting]]. Concerns over the environmental impact have led to controversy about modern logging practices. In certain areas of forest loggers re-plant their crop for future generations. |

Lumberjacks and loggers have one of the most dangerous jobs in the United States. The constant danger of being around heavy equipment and chainsaws in unsafe areas maximizes the danger. Proper PPE for those in this field consist of eye protection, head protection, [[ear protection]], long sleeves, chaps (if working with a chainsaw), and lastly steel toe boots. When entering this profession, it is emphasized to be on one's toes because individuals are responsible for their own safety to guard against many uncontrollable hazards in the timber. For example, the weather can cause a dangerous situation quicker than one may realize. Additionally, logs and trees often plummet down a mountainside with no regard for what is in its way. In the United States, the [[Occupational Safety and Health Administration]] (OSHA) has resources dedicated for logging safety,<ref>{{Cite web|title=Logging - Overview {{!}} Occupational Safety and Health Administration|url=https://www.osha.gov/logging|access-date=2020-11-19|website=www.osha.gov}}</ref> and the [[National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health]] (NIOSH) has identified logging as a priority area of safety research under the [[National Occupational Research Agenda]].<ref>{{Cite web|date=2019-02-11|title=CDC - NIOSH - NORA Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing Sector Council|url=https://www.cdc.gov/nora/councils/agff/research.html|access-date=2020-12-09|website=www.cdc.gov|language=en-us}}</ref> |
