Probably not. That's the market like it or not. LMAO you got the bleep machine in working order? Apr 13, Jay Browning is the man, talent and experience was beyond compare. The episodes with him falling timber were awesome. I also have respect for him taking a permanently disabled worker and putting him in the repair shop to fix saws. That shows character and compassion to me. I think that's why Mr Browning no longer participates could well be he saw the way it was going first hand I mean the show and got out I guess other reasons too.
My husband is the "stud greenhorn" from Big Gun that has been edited and voiced over to be some kind of maniac. This show is as fake as any sitcom. My husband was not fired, but quit. Ryan, the other greenhorn, did not stay at a camp site but shared a motel with us. My husband quit after 6 days of filming and was hired by a reputable logging company that would never be caught dead working with this show.
No company wold get hired or stay open for more than 5 minutes if the problems that happen on every episode actually happened.
Yes, lines snap and people get hurt, but everything that happens on this show is created by the producer, at least at Big Gun. The producer was Arem and nearly got the entire thing shut down by creating such dangerous events Guess you no like the producers then Apr 14, McCulloch ArboristSite Guru.
Some People might get offended by cutting down trees may of something to do with it. You must log in or register to reply here. The series followed several logging companies in forests and swamps. While that might not sound like the most exciting premise on paper, it soon became clear that actually performing this job requires the contributions of quite a few talented people with colorful personalities.
By that, we mean that people with a record, people with fewer career options, and people who are just looking to embrace the wilderness usually seem to be the ones that choose that life. Before that, he was a fairly notorious poacher who was caught hunting without a license on six different occasions.
That tends to suggest a passion for poaching rather than a simple misunderstanding. Ax Men star Shelby Stang really became the icon of the entire series in many ways. What makes her contributions all the more impressive is her long-standing battle cystic fibrosis.
Jimmy Smith was another Ax Men castmember who really helped set the tone for the show. As a veteran of the industry, Smith had seen and done it all. He often served as a calming presence on screen. He was a leader who seemed to know exactly what to make of every situation. Basically, the problem was that Smith was logging certain areas without a license by claiming that natural events had made them legal to access.
Look, by now everyone knows that many reality shows are embellished in some way. Thank you, like Kevin said I am updating daily, check back often! Here's the latest press release on the show From History and Original Productions, the same team responsible for the mega hit, Ice Road Truckers, this series looks at the legacy that the pioneers of our country laid for the present and future generations of loggers.
Their mission: to retrieve timber perched on mountainsides too steep to access with machines. But this is no easy task. Over the course of thirteen episodes, Ax Men follows four logging crews through a season in the remote forests of northwest Oregon. Plagued by mechanical failures, relentless weather-including a hurricane that ripped through the area- and violent and unpredictable terrain, these brave men risk their lives retrieving the very timber we depend upon to build our country.
Snapped cables, runaway logs and treacherous machinery are among the many dangers that threaten the lives and safety everyday. Anything and everything can go wrong on these sites and the price of even the simplest mistake can mean death. Almost everyone in town - all 2, of them - knows someone who relies on company owner Mike Pihl to keep their family fed.
Pihl Logging is comprised of a group of men who like to trade jibes with each other almost as much as they like to cut timber. Mike's son-in-law Kelly is being groomed to take over the business one day, but the real heart of the operation is year veteran timber cutter Dwayne Dethlefs. Rounding out the crew is Dwayne's son Dustin, greenhorn Cody Davis, site boss Todd Cutright, and a host of other colorful characters.
Logging is one of the most dangerous jobs on the planet, and Jay Browning knows it. He lost his hand in a logging accident and now wears a prosthetic, but prides himself on not accepting any of the workers comp checks that followed the ordeal.
Taking handouts isn't Jay Browning's style. Browning has the most powerful equipment, the most skilled workers and secures the biggest jobs in town. Jay is idolized by his employees, including son Jesse. Jesse's been sweating away in the woods for seven years in hopes that he will earn the right to take over his father's business one day.
He's been in the business for more than a decade, but recently landed a monstrous job that could be his big break - if it doesn't break him in the process. Melvin's equipment is the logger's beginner set - a collection of rusted hunks of metal that stop at a moment's notice and shut down production without warning. Melvin has always succeeded where others have failed, though, and he's hoping his luck will hold out on this job.
Part of his success depends on greenhorn Michael, who's been on the job only one month. Michael is working alongside his childhood buddies at Stump Branch, but lifelong friendship won't get him anywhere when it comes to learning the logging business. Michael is catching on quickly, but this business doesn't cut anyone a break.
By day, he oversees multiple job sites for one of the biggest companies in Astoria, Oregon. By night, Darrell coaches pee-wee football, counsels underprivileged youth, and is a devoted family man. Since the accident occurred on private property, the police filed no DUI charges, but they did charge Pihl with felony assault.
Hopefully, that was the wake-up call he needed. While some loggers have been accused of cashing in on injuries they don't have, Katelyn Sims is the exact opposite. The young logger has battled cystic fibrosis , a terminal illness, since she was four, but she doesn't let that stop her from felling and moving trees, making some of her male counterparts look like wimps in the process. To fight the disease's attacks on her lungs, kidneys, pancreas and other organs, Sims undergoes regular treatments, allowing her to continue working, as keeping active gives her a better chance of survival.
Sims also uses her fame to help spread CF awareness. This is one tough lady. Master diver Roger Gunter, who works for Chapman Logging, has been caught hunting without a license. Before he gained fame through Ax Men , Gunter was already well-known as a monkey fisher in Florida. For the uninitiated, "monkey fishing" refers to fishing using electricity—not fishing for actual monkeys, as some Slate writers would have you believe. During the "good old days," as Gunter calls them , he was only caught six times, which isn't bad over a to year span.
Since then, he has apparently mended his ways.
