x 2---pretty interesting to see what these guys endure every day as far as danger is concerned.

very interesting to see the real lumberjacks at work

i'd be careful calling any west coaster a lumberjack... liable to get your head knocked off

 

[sredlin]

what do they call themselves?

Apparently 'Ax Men'

 

[sredlin]

Anyone know if it will be repeated this week? I had to miss it but for a very good reason!

We generally call them loggers. Sometimes specific as young guys are choker setters, then fellers, some operators. Known for their muddy but decently nice pickups in town. Lumberjack might be a regional name? Ax men isn't used.

I watched it too. Wasn't really what I had hoped for. I thought maybe there would be more technical demonstrations or challenges with solutions.

Never stand next to a big pile of wire rope when it is very quickly unwinding being pulled by something beyond your control!!

I watched it in HD, pretty cool.... Was amazed at how much cabling and machinery were used... and working in the Northwest would be so hard with all the rain. The photographer for Stump-Branch Logging (Melvin's crew) is a member here at AS, she posted a 'head up' and a link to their site about a month ago.

I watched it too with a lot of anticipation and I really enjoyed it. Here in West Virginia logging is big business, but there are definite differences in terrain and forest size. Some of the equipment is different too.

Re: axe-men. I had never heard that term used to describe loggers. Do they really do it? I grew up in N Idaho back when the big stick virgin timber was coming out 2 or 3 logs making a load.

That idiot playing around witht that wire being uncoiled needs a brain transplant.

The whole episode is on mininova. It's about 360 MB. Need a torrent client to download it. I missed it and watched this way.

Cheers!
