Before the era of modern diesel or gasoline powered equipment, the existing machinery was steam powered. Animal or steam-powered [[skidder]]s could be used to haul harvested logs to nearby rail roads for shipment to [[sawmill]]s. Horse driven [[Michigan logging wheels|logging wheels]] were a means used for moving logs out of the woods. Another way for transporting logs to sawmills was to float them down a body of water or a specially-constructed [[log flume]]. [[Log rolling]], the art of staying on top of a floating log while "rolling" the log by walking, was another skill much in demand among lumberjacks. Spiked boots known as [[caulk boots|"caulks" or "corks"]] were used for log rolling and often worn by lumberjacks as their regular footwear.

The term "[[skid row]]", which today means a poor city neighbourhood frequented by [[homeless]] people, derives from a way harvested logs were once transported. Logs would be "skidded" down hills or along a [[corduroy road]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=skid row {{!}} Etymology of phrase skid row by etymonline |url=https://www.etymonline.com/word/skid%20row |access-date=2025-02-09 |website=www.etymonline.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Yates |first=Chris |date=2021-03-15 |title=Why Do They Call It Skid Row? {{!}} Conner Industries |url=https://www.connerindustries.com/why-do-they-call-it-skid-row/ |access-date=2025-02-09 |language=en-US}}</ref> One such street in [[Seattle]] was named Skid Road. This street later became frequented by people down on their luck, and both the name and its meaning morphed into the modern term.<ref>{{Cite web |last=issue |first=Hannelore Sudermann {{!}} June 2023 |title=Professor’s book walks readers through history of Seattle’s ‘Skid Road’ |url=https://magazine.washington.edu/feature/professors-book-walks-readers-through-history-of-seattles-skid-road/ |access-date=2025-02-09 |website=UW Magazine — University of Washington Magazine}}</ref>
