    There doesn’t appear to be any chains around those logs???
    It is always interesting to see how other folks get the work done.

    There is a hook at the end of the chain (like a big,big,strong nail) which they beat/strike(?) into the logs. When the log is at the place where it should be transported to, they pull out the “nail” with a hook.

    We use a log grab, which is a sort of hook, driven into the log with a large hammer or, or grab driver. We take it out with a grab skiper.
    In the day of the CPL a man could work full time just snipping logs and driving grabs. A good grab driver could drive the grabs so they would stay on top of the log when they skid them.

    But we mean the same.
