Ax Men, Extreme Loggers, Swamp Loggers. Entertaining “reality” shows? I guess. A real look at logging? No way!
I’ve been logging all of my life. I’m proud of what I do. Proud of how safe my operations are. Proud of how careful we are with the land and our forests. Proud of the way my crew and the crews that I know conduct themselves at work.
We protect the land because it’s our future. We go to classes to learn the newest information and issues because we are professionals. And we put safety first because none of us wants to see accidents or injuries.
So, while we might be entertained by these shows they’re not reality. At least not here in Minnesota.
