Electric Linemen, Tougher in Alaska - DVD

This DVD proves today's linemen still rely on their father's work practices. In remote Alaska, when you need a hole for a pole, you dig through frozen tundra by hand. To raise a pole, you use pole pikes and ropes. To go up a pole or lattice structure, you climb -- forget about bucket trucks. Watch linemen brave temperatures as low as -40 degrees F to keep the lights on.
