  The book notes: "We don't recommend it if you're looking for authenticity, but the Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show is a 60-minute lumberjack contest providing a Disneyesque taste of old-time woodsman skills, including ax throwing, buck-sawing, springboard chopping, log-rolling duels, and a 50-foot tree climb that ends in a free fall."
