Lumberjacks worked in [[lumber camp]]s and often lived a migratory life, following timber harvesting jobs as they opened.<ref>Rohe, 1986</ref> Being a lumberjack was seasonal work. Lumberjacks were exclusively men. They usually lived in [[bunkhouse]]s or tents. Common equipment included the [[axe]]<ref>{{cite web| url = https://clutchaxes.com/michigan-axe-pattern-uses-and-origin| title = Michigan Axe Pattern, Uses and Origin| work = clutchaxes.com| access-date = 2021-01-13| archive-date = 2021-02-01| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20210201202720/https://clutchaxes.com/michigan-axe-pattern-uses-and-origin/| url-status = usurped}}</ref> and [[cross-cut saw]]. Lumberjacks could be found wherever there were vast forests to be harvested and a demand for wood, most likely in Scandinavia, Canada, and parts of the United States. In the U.S., many lumberjacks were of Scandinavian ancestry, continuing the family tradition. American lumberjacks were first centred in north-eastern states such as Maine. They then followed the general [[American frontier|westward migration]] on the continent to the [[Upper Midwest]], and finally the [[Pacific Northwest]]. [[Stewart Holbrook]] documented the emergence and [[American frontier|westward migration]] of the classic American lumberjack in his first book, ''Holy Old Mackinaw: A Natural History of the American Lumberjack''. He often wrote colourfully about lumberjacks in his subsequent books, romanticizing them as hard-drinking, hard-working men. Logging camps were slowly phased out between World War II and the early 1960s as crews could by then be transported to remote logging sites in motor vehicles.<ref>Smith (1972)</ref>
