lumberjacks
Axe-wielding timber workers
Lumberjacks are workers who fell trees and prepare logs for transport, traditionally associated with North American timber camps of the 19th and early 20th centuries.
The term evokes a rugged image: flannel shirts, axes, and life in remote forests.
Modern logging uses machinery, but lumberjack persists for competitive wood-chopping and as a cultural archetype: He ordered the lumberjack breakfast—eggs, bacon, and a stack of pancakes.
