    A show about loggers, kinda like the show about the crabbers. Another job I am not sure you could pay me enough to do. Also, it looks dangerous enough with no distractions that I've no idea why they let a camera crew in.

    A guy in our area was killed this winter while logging. One of my patient's has a husband disabled after being hit by a "widow-maker".

    I have also taken care of 2 patients who had their feet crushed as they were walking away from what they thought were routine tree fellings.

    It is a dangerous business. Even the pros can't control everything, and in a careless moment they can be killed or maimed.

      I am enjoying the show. those guys certainly don't get paid enough for how dangerous their work is. I do like that guy's home made claw that replaced his hand.

        Fascinating show. I never knew what went into logging. More respect now for these guys!
