I'm sure they'd carry files and whetstones with them.

I hope to go the The Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake again this coming summer. If I do, I'll take photos of their logging history exhibit. Those guys were insane. Animal.

I remember reading about how much a logger would eat at each meal, it seemed unbelievable, something like a dozen eggs, a couple of pounds of bacon or sausage, a dozen pancakes, Probably 10,000 calories if that's possible. Meals were eaten in silence and the loggers were serious about that. Probably got an ass kicking if you talked.

I wouldn't be surprised if they had guys on the crew who just sharpened shit all day long.
