Its a new series on the history channel. I think it is going to be kinda cool. I think it is along the same lines as Ice Road Truckers. Just about loggers.

Thx for the link Mackman...looks interesting. Even though i'm only 27, I grew up in the middle of the logging industry in WY. My family is full of former loggers. Tough bunch of guys and gals. After the industry went to crap a few years back, all of them had to find other work and now most of them work in the oilfields in and around Wamsutter, WY.

I just looked at it on TV. It is more or less the same thing as ice road truckers. Yeah they seem like a bunch of rough guys. I do have to say they work for there money. I think it will be a good series.

I watched it last night too, seems like it's going to be a good series. I worked at the other end of those logs after they are cut down. I hauled the woodchips and sawdust all over. It's cool to see what happens before they get to the mill.
