Saw the commercial last night. It looks like a spin off of the ax men show with more equipment :thumbsup
I'll have to check it out.

How big are the trees they are knocking down? What kind of equipment are they using?

I could not believe how swamppy it was and the floatation tires were something else. Pretty skilled operator to handle that track like they did, looked like it weighed 1 pound instead of 1 ton . they completed the repair in 1.5 hours, obviously must have done it many times. Pretty cool stump throwing at the end.

Was deffinetly a cool episode, notice I said episode. The show is called "Extreme Logging" so it looks like it will be a different method for each show. Next week is mule logging:beatsme and then the week after that is helicoptor logging.:eek:

I saw the show last night, thought it was pretty cool. Somewhat more infromative than Axe Men more of a business side. I've never seen southern logging before, here in Minnesota we just wait untill winter and the swamps freeze up, makes things much easier.

I thought the show was cool. I hope they have more of the swamp logging. To me watching a mule pull a tree is like watching paint dry.
