The spectacular competition has been traditionally organized by a family of loggers from Kaslo for 49 years.
“It started out as a traditional way for the loggers in the bush to have a little bit of fun. We’ve turned it into a sport,” participant Andrea Hand said.
For some of the participants, logging is a hobby, for others, it’s a job.
Over the years, the sport has been internationally recognised and promoted by the saw brand Stihl.
