Lapadat describes hauling wood, hay, and other resources for his family's trucking business. Topics include: the stiff competition they faced in the Valley; how all the profits from the business went back into the farm; why he eventually chose to leave Smithers and make a life for himself; hauling 13 tons of hay as a teenager; an offer by Liberal politician Olof Hanson to buy wood from local suppliers; and how the family survived by relying on credit from the stores.

Lapadat discusses raising and training racehorses on the family farm, including the story of how he was the only one who was able to ride a certain horse.
