AX MEN coming to the History Channel

On Sunday, March 9, at 10:00pm, the History Channel will launch a new program from the creators of Ice Road Truckers. The idea of the show, AX MEN, is to examine the lives of loggers in the Pacific Northwest.

I had an opportunity to see an early screening of the first episode. It looks like it's going to be an interesting, and even exciting, TV show. As is the case with all shows of this nature, they certainly dramatized a few things. I also think a few of the guys on the logging crews did some things in front of the camera that they might not otherwise have done.

There is also a large focus on how dangerous logging can be. I think that, on the whole, that's a good things, as long as they don't end up painting the profession as too dangerous. I noticed that the program even mentioned that the area these loggers were in was practicing sustainable forestry and replanting after a cut. (And one of the crews is even moving felled trees out of a wind damaged area.)

On the whole, I think this will be a fairly positive show. If you want to see a short preview of AX MEN, follow this link.

I don;t think it is positive at all. Does everyone not realize this is one reason we have such outrageous insurance premiums? We are classified with them. Logging in the south is nothing like what this show portrays.

Jimmy Smith, the aqua logger, has been illegally taking logs from the Hoquiam River. Under Washington State law these logs are public property. Yesterday, March 13, was an unlucky day for Jimmy. The State came in and seized his logs.
