"I watched the show for the first time yesterday at mom's. My first thought was these guys give rural people a bad name. My second was one of these guys is going to get killed. I guess I was right. I worked in the logging and tree care industry for 20 years. I don't see how they get away with the unsafe crap they pull for the camera. OSHA should be up thier a*s. They are lucky more haven't got killed. Gives the industry a bad name."

Well I could not disagree with you more!

I my self envy the way they live and if I had the chance I would take that type of living any day.

I grew up hunting and fishing in NW PA and except for the critters they hunt compared to what I hunt not much different just more teeth.

They don't need no stinking OSHA!!!

OH and what industry gets the bad name?

I have ate road kill before.

Really.

I used to have a bumper sticker that said “I brake for road kill” so don’t jump my ass. If you had to pay workmans comp on a logging crew you might understand. I may have the wrong show as I do live in the sticks and don’t have cable. I was spending time with mom and may have got the show title wrong. I thought it was one of the logging shows they have on discovery channel. Swamp loggers mabey? Anyway at least half the viewers of these shows are city folk who like to poke fun at country people, no matter how many teeth they have in their head.
