With people wanting to go back in time, This would be more like it. Good old fashioned wholesome
americana gathering the necessities for winter living, the proper upstanding values built by hours
of labor toiling about in the fresh clean mountain air.

My grandfather did that. The last Friday of every month, Their dog would lay at the side of the road waiting for him to come home. They said if the dog ran down the road, they knew he was bringing his horses

Wow, I didn't know they had Photoshop back then

They didn't, but everybody now sure does. I have stacked enough logs to take one look at that and say it's not possible outside a digital realm. Logs just don't do that. The first three tiers of logs are stacked directly on top of one another!

Dad came home from the Korean Conflict, went to work for Bellows Falls Ice Company. At some point he drove log truck. The "teamster" boss wanted no injuries. In a time when trucks weren't big, the boss wouldn't allow stakes on a truck. A layer of logs were loaded, chained down. Second layer rolled on top, chained down.........third & fourth.
This looks to be three chains over the whole load. I don't think that's possible.
Two horses gonna pull that?
