Tapinarii Working in Winter

A "tapinar" is a specialized forest worker that handles the logs with "tapina" (special tool for logs handling, a special beak metal head with a wood stock). These forestry lumber workers are up in the forest no matter the season or weather. Last film presented was about the same activity but in autumn, this one is about their job in winter time. Cutting down the trees, caring them down to the train and loading the wagons by hand are activities that are no longer used in Romania. For many years now the logs transportation activity is made entirely by machines and tractors. The only place to see these manual activities still happen is in Maramures, on the last active forestry narrow gauge steam railroad: CFF Viseu de Sus. On this line mocanita is still carrying down loaded wagons and in this film you can see the old process of manually loading wagons. This is an an exclusive video material about these forestry activities. Film (c) Daniel Secarescu | www.mocanita.ro
