Living in a logging camp in the past was difficult, with crowded and unsanitary conditions including a lack of privacy and hygiene. Workers lived in poorly insulated log cabins and had to endure smoke, lice, and little opportunity to clean themselves. However, they found ways to bond as a community through dancing, singing, card games, and visiting priests on Sundays to take a break from their challenging six-day work weeks in the forest.
