Axe Man returns

[Cat_Driver]

Makes we wonder how people don稚 get killed on every episode.

Logs rolling down hill at 50mph, cables breaking left and right, heat exhaustion carrying 100 pounds of cable up hills in 115 degree temps. They put on å*µreen horns without a bit of training then wonder why they walk under a log about to be dropped. Their idea of training is if a green horn almost kills himself THEN they come over and tell what to watch out for.

Felling some of those trees and the way they kick back, and the worst of the worst is when they cut the 努idow maker? This guy gets under a tree with a dead limb 50 ft. in the air that can come down at any time. No thanks.

They run their equipment likes it痴 new and it sure isn稚.

If it weren't for the machines, I wouldn't even watch these people because it certainly has a smell of "reality TV" to it. I think "Swamp Loggers" is much better only because they show more of the machines.

Yeah it's all a bit staged for my liking.....Got to make it interesting havent they..???

According to Melvin in a radio interview at the end of Dec, there's no staging. Last year, he and his Stump ranch crew were initially very aware of the camera crew then concluded they couldn't work like that and decided, for all intents and purposes, to ignore them.

The aqua logger needs a brain worse than the scare crow on The Wizard of Oz. I debated about not watching itbut the swamp logger looks the best and I really like to watch Jay browning being a great logger. I didnt much care for his sons fit throwing. The aqua logger showed how big a fool he was Last year with the TD9 and winching the log up the bank. He should have backed up to the slope and winched in a direct line or put a header log to let the cable run up and not digthe log in.
And the father and son with te greenhorns the way he cusses everyone would probably be horrifically injured by a chainsaw operator. Ill have to catch last weeks episode this comming week I had to work in the shop when it was on. I caught that stump branch had another man running his outfit while he was away. Hands down the swamp logger looks to be the real theing with the old B&E crane on the barge and the pontoon skidder. Jay browning is also the favorite to because he knows what hes doing and doesnt make a scene.

If I didn't have the History channel I would probably sell my TV.

I could get by with the History Channel, Discovery, RFDTV, Speed, Food Network and the channel that shows Cops and Operation Repo.

The problem with all those shows is the whiny complaining between employees ... or it's about the rookie, greenhorn etc...not going to cut it...etc.et.al.
...doesn't matter if they are crabbing on the Bearing Sea or drilling for oil or hauling logs off a mountain...it's all the same...just "office politics" (in the field though)...
