# The World Lumber Jack Championships - Link: https://mywalkabout.net/the-world-lumber-jack-championships/ - Published: 2017-11-04T06:38:03-07:00 - Author: My Walkabout ## After hours of driving through the forested roads of Wisconsin, I arrive in the little community of Hayward. ## Home of the 󠀁[World Lumberjack Championships](http://www.lumberjackworldchampionships.com/lumberjack-history.php)󠁿 since 1960. Hayward used to be a giant holding pond for logs of the Weyerhaeuser North Wisconsin Lumber Company, and now the people of this town rich in lumber history proudly host this annual event. ## I couldn’t have been more excited to be a part of it.⏎  **The natural beauty of the area** was only surpassed by the lovely people. It was pure Americana if ever there is such a place. ## _“Where beer and faith go hand in hand”._ ## The strength and skill of both the men and women will surprise and amaze you.⏎  **From the log rolling**, speed climbing, the springboard and the under hand chop, I was entertained as well and informed about the tradition of generations of families that have made their livelihood out of lumber jacking. ## And please understand that the competitions are fierce, these people are true athletes in every respect with what they do. ## I could ramble on and on, but perhaps you would rather see highlights for yourself. ## I enjoyed the 2017 World Lumberjack championships in all of it’s glory. ## Yo Ho!!! ### Share this: * [ Email ](https://mywalkabout.net/the-world-lumber-jack-championships/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20The%20World%20Lumber%20Jack%20Championships&body=https%3A%2F%2Fmywalkabout.net%2Fthe-world-lumber-jack-championships%2F&share=email) * [Post](https://x.com/share) * [Share on Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/share) * [ WhatsApp ](https://mywalkabout.net/the-world-lumber-jack-championships/?share=jetpack-whatsapp) * [ Nextdoor ](https://mywalkabout.net/the-world-lumber-jack-championships/?share=nextdoor) * [ Threads ](https://mywalkabout.net/the-world-lumber-jack-championships/?share=threads) * [[ * [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) * [ Reddit ](https://mywalkabout.net/the-world-lumber-jack-championships/?share=reddit) ### Like this: Like Loading…
