Watched this last night. Not a bad show, but these guys think they have the most important jobs in the world. Cool program, just to see how that job is done, but it's no more dangerous that a worker in a Steel mill or a welder or a fisherman or anthing else.
But I liked the show.

Well, the weather is still nice. Just you wait until they show the storm that hit this winter. I guess you have never been up a logging road the Northwest,
I haven't see many 1000Lb bears in a steel mill. http://www.oregoncoastre.com/assets/images/Bear.jpg

Better than I thought it would be, but what does this have to do with History?

Fishing comes closest but the danger isn't exaggerated; I've worked in mills and as a heavy equipment mechanic and while there are dangers associated with those jobs they are nothing compared to falling timber and high-lead logging in the Pacific NW.

Logging is PNW history. This series is recording now what will be our future history.

...The Pueblo is history. If what these guys do for a living is history then so is "Dog The Bounty Hunter".
