Come along on another Alaskan adventure as we profile amazingly hard workers in the timber industry. Loggers are hearty and hardy, and the ones I know are true conservationists. I can’t wait for you to meet these lumberjacks!
During this Christmas season, do you ever wonder where you get many of your Christmas trees, firewood, packing boxes… shoot, just look around at everything timber touches and ask yourself who begins the production of these wood products? You’ll meet them on an exciting trip to an Afognak Island logging camp where our daughter learns even more about our family’s #1 lesson: tough work ethic and character will fulfill and sustain you.
Learn how the logging families live in such a remote part of God’s country and how they cherish the land that provides their livelihood. You’ll see how their reforestation efforts allow the forest regrowth rate to repeat a life cycle of new forest nearly every 20 years. These loggers actually care more about the sustainability of their forests than most anyone because they love their livelihood, they know America relies on our domestic timber industry for good jobs and economic security, they are inspired in the great outdoors, and many of them want their kids to get to grow up to be loggers. Basically, the good folks you’ll meet want to be allowed to do what they love to do and what anyone who lives among lumber and wood products rely on them to do for us.
In addition, come see Willow’s eyes open to a new rugged and rustic lifestyle. Her driving skills improve (?) before she undertakes a family’s rite of passage with an upcoming driver’s license test. Any parent can relate.
With only a couple more episodes to share, I promise you a fun and informative episode of “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” this Sunday night at 9pm ET/8c on TLC. Follow me there!
You can watch a preview of the episode
~ Sarah Palin
Well, it is almost as good as “refudiate.”
ROFLOL!
Yes I heard him say that and loved his positive thinking:)
It just seemed to me like he really enjoyed getting to meet her and work with her.
Sooo Sad for Willow!
Poor thing...
You sound like a D-I-N-G-B-A-T-!
She beat her Dad’s best laop by 3 sec :)
Final episode a two hour special, think it’s Jan 9, not Jan 2, wasn’t really listening right then.

OH WOW! Thanks very much!
You’re almost in spittin distance!
Me thinks dad, the snow machine champ, may have pulled an iddy biddy bit.
Yikes. Expensive! We will be watching your game against Oregon, you betcha.
ROFL @ the good-by ceremonies... you *are* so funny. I hope to watch the replay at the top of this hour.
You mean it's not a real word? LOLOLOLOLOL. I'm going to watch the replay. I hope I didn't make-up the word.
...”Her daughters are ALL sleeping around?” Oh really? would that include her youngest, you perverted thinking P.O.T.?
...”Boys go RUNNING upstairs to her daughter’s room”...?
Gee, they don’t even stop to get a condom at the zer0bama clinic first?
She can’t run her house?
David Letterman, is that you, you repugnant, bitter old has-been/never was bastard?
I think I speak for many of the (far more intelligent and well-reasoned) FReepers on this thread - many with more seniority than you - when I say:
Keep such tasteless, baseless, useless, pejorative Demo/RINO-tripe “fakedowns” (fake takedowns) to yourself.
We don’t want or need them.
Or you, with your east coast elitist ways.
What are you anyway, a Romney-Bot?
You don’t seem to run anything except your mouth.
Verbal diarrhea, par putridity.
M-O-O-N-B-A-T
Pay attention to ‘FloridaBattleGround’ from this point?
Hmphhh! Fuggedaboudit

Yeah, but Willow was hooting and hollering. She had a good time... up until the end. Think maybe she blew her chances for a car from her parents any time soon LOL.
LOL. I wasn’t listening either... I promise to listen during the replay. I think it’s January 8....lol.
He was absolutely smitten.
I found it interesting that she defended cutting the trees and told how they reseed or plant saplings. I didn’t realize that those large trees were 20 years old, and the seedlings would be their size in 20-30 years.
The Left will use the rhetoric she "quite her other job". Even though no one thinks to quote her speech the day she left saying she had done in 2 years what she had promised to do in 4, plus the ongoing law suits brought by the Left to bog her down fighting them in bulk form..to win in bulk after all as said and done. Time spent on fighting bogus law suits was time taken away from Alaskan taxpayers who had hired her to work for them.
Palin may be a logger for a day and operate a timber moving John Deere, sled the glaciers, gut a fish and shoot down an elk; does not a President make.
"Princess Elizabeth" was a member of the ATS and a mechanic in the War and enjoyed the beauty of the outdoors.
You MUST be able to command authority like Meir commanded Mossad. Your enemies need to fear you, not caricature you.
Maybe Palin is America's version of Queen Victoria perhaps "graciously playing the hand that fate has dealt her."
I just know we have to get back to being a force to be dealt with, we have been severely damaged in the present/past administrations.
I LOVE Sarah and Todd (got my copy of “Going Rogue” autographed by her in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, and Sarah’s aunt from Tri-Cities gave me her own “going rogue with Sarah” red wristband) and agree with all of you good folks.
Check my posted response at #193 on this thread. Feedback welcome...was I too harsh or unseemly, perhaps?

The Obamas are the Kadashians of the White House...attracted to sports heros and soaking up the good life. Not to be taken seriously.
