There are several Amish families near Mio, Michigan who still farm this way. The closest I got to this was 5 years throwing hay with 2 farmers with drop bailers. 400 bails per hour was my record.
It's priceless when Malcom rides to the top of the hill climb and back down on stock bike and said "Well that was great fun"
Back when I was 14 and got a job at a tree service…was handed a Mac 1010 chainsaw and told to get in the back of the big truck and lay down all the branches. These days they need an app to figure which way to do the LEAST amount of physical effort to do anything. Physical work these days is for the stupid people or those people not enlightened.

There’s no shame in trying. I’ve gotten my butt handed to me as often as not. Whether I’m likely to win or not doesn’t keep me from trying like hell. But I’m a bit stubborn like that. A good challenge is good, win, lose or draw.

Things were different in those days! Maybe that is why we often say there is no common sense any more. Common sense is learned, and it's learned from making choices and evaluating that decision to continue or discontinue doing that.
We have a govt. that does all that for us now, so their is a limit to taking chances which limits the results of something we might learn.

I’d love to have seen how they got those logs stacked without an overhead crane.
Those were the days where if you did not work (and work hard) you did not eat..
Now we live in the welfare age where being "sad" means you get a monthly cheque.
