A large number of Minnesota's Civilian Conservation Corps camps were in state and national forests, making a timber grappler like this one a standard tool. Because of its long handles, as many as four CCC workers could lift heavy logs using a single grappler. Two grapplers, one on either end, were required for particularly long logs.
