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
It’s another GOOD show! Logging... I can almost smeel the freshly cut wood. No kidding!
Did she just get boosted up by her tushie? LOL
Do you have any kids of your own?

Great minds, Dr.

......on a side note...............
.....yesterday, Christmas day.........ole Ted Kennedy hit his 16th month clean and sober
way to go Ted !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Picking up that log! I wonder if it is anything like trying to grab that toy in that vending maching outside Wal Mart. Y’all know the one, where there is always that one toy your kid really wants but you drop it just before you get it to the chute. LOL!
Where are those knuckleheads who don’t like seeing Sarah doing men’s work? LOL
LOL. Hi there, concern troll. Has it occurred to you that Sarah Palin could edit the series to present an unrealitic view of her children and family?
Thanks very much for watching Sarah Palin’s Alaska. Too bad you have missed the greater messagees and viewed the series through DU eyes. Your loss.
LOL!
So, you're a masochist who regularly wears 'kick me' signs on their rear?
Strange fetish, but don't worry. Folks around here will oblige....with relish!
LOL! The concept seems similar, but, I was SO nervous for her. Unlike the claw thing where I KNOW I will drop it.
That’s almost like a small tug boat.
Your first post in five months and this is the best you can do?
LOL. I think so!
hattend, this is another beautiful area of beautiful Alaska!
You know, this woman is good for business.
Get lost, troll.
Somehow, I just don’t picture President and Mrs Obama doing anything remotely close to any of this. How can people not love this family?
A drive by Trolling? LOL!
