Product Description
Description
Forget Paul Bunyan, these are the real American Originals! Logging in the Pacific Northwest is the most hazardous job in America, twenty-six times riskier than the average U.S. job and over 50% more dangerous than #2, commercial fisher. Working the most remote, least accessible tracts under every condition imaginable, their bottom line is measured in trees felled and days survived.
In this thrilling, all-new series, THE HISTORY CHANNEL® brings you the day-to-day lives of dedicated Oregon loggers in intimate and thrilling detail. Modeled after the blockbuster Ice Road Truckers show, this new series takes you deeper into the lives of the men who lay it all on the line for their jobs. Filmed on location (at great risk to the film crew itself) entirely in High Definition, AX MEN breaks new ground in getting close to the action. You'll be ducking your head as logs swing by and wincing as entire trees crash onto the cameras!
Through the experiences of the veteran bosses and their crews, you'll know the ceaseless exhaustion, thrilling triumph and relief of living another day that can only be felt after a stretch "pulling wood" out of the hills. You'll learn the innumerable risks and great rewards awaiting the AX MEN.

Could you do it?,
By Christopher Southworth "Chris Southworth" (Regina, Saskatchewan Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ax Men S1 (DVD)
Visceral and simple, yet immediately relevant, Ax Men delves into the lives and work of some of the toughest men on earth. Facing difficult deadlines in an industry where carelessness means death, these men face and tame nature on a daily basis. Beautifully shot and frequently funny, Ax Men should be considered a must for completists of History Channel-style documentaries about hard living and heavy industry.Sit back, relax, and let the perceived realities of your job slip away when you see how hard some people work to earn a living.

Get it!!,
By Axebite - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Ax Men S1 (DVD)
Let me put it this way - my wife has been asking me if she can watch it!! The show is great, as are the DVDs. Beyond the cool machines and the near death experiences, this awesome testosterone fest manages to draw the viewers into the lives of the people in the stories. By the end of the series it is hard not to feel connected with them. Whether or not you are familiar with the industry, you will definitely be entertained by the "colorful" cast. If you are a lumberjack you'll swear you've worked with these guys, or you have worked with someone just like them. If you are not familiar with logging, this is a great introduction. It doesn't get over-technical. You will come away with an appreciation of process as well as the people involved.

Ax Men: logging in northwestern Oregon,
By Ransom Park "ranger keith" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Ax Men S1 (DVD)
This 4-disk set follows several logging companies working in northwestern Oregon. There are 14 episodes plus a bonus feature. The loggers are tough, profane folks, so there's a lot of bleeped out dialog. But their day to day operations and methods are very interesting. And dangerous. The possibility of losing hands, arms, legs or your life is high. It's interesting, informative, and entertaining. I really enjoyed it.
