If some of you don't like the show why do you watch it ?

I don't. Checked it out this season because i thought they were going a new direction with Buckin' and Logger Wade on there. Nope, still same old crap. Ill just stick to YouTube for my BBR fix.

Well it’s axmen reborn, I guess peeps are just giving a honest review of the new show.

I’ve not seen it before, I only whatched it because it was talked about on one of bbr youtube vids.

I can say the format that I watch it the ads are taken out and a bit of the repeated stuff. Which makes it better. And I can fast forward it.
As to will I watch many more episodes, probably only will if someone says it’s good.

I do like Buckin' he seems like a really good person. And very good at what he does.

That said I find it hard to watch the show. I've never been around a large commercial logging operation but compared to the heavy highway work I have been around there seems to be a lot of stuff flying around. A lot of equipment being yanked one way and then snatched the other. Stuff breaking free and crashing down.

Looks dangerous and makes me nervous just watching it. :)

I am around logging all the time. I am a professional Forester and logging is my main area of emphasis. There is not heavy things blindly being slung around, people rarely and I mean rarely get into slug feats or shouting matches....not any more often than you may see out in public anywhere else. They happen but rarely, not weekly. I personally have never seen employees tackling or punching each other. Never seen a log trailer thrown off a mountain by the loader operator, and not because we don't have moutains near where I live but because it just doesn't happen!!!

It's a dangerous profession but most of the accidents are like many in the heavy equipment industry, they are entering and exiting equipment. Probably second most would be crushing it cutting injuries? But that is just a guess.

Looks like the switch was in the correct position. :rolleyes:

Didn't that saw have some odd chain too?
I dont recall, maybe it was Archer chain... stock out of the box I do know. I tell ya though, that piece of Hickory was hard chit. Nothing felt fast in that and he definitely ain't use to cutting something that hard so every chain was dull to him that day lol.

Honestly, the switch seemed backwards to me. All my Hooskies are flip towards the throttle trigger to kill, that saw was backwards from that... my 7900 is like my Huskies and opposite that saw lol.

7900’s are backwards from huskies. I probably switched your 7900 around. I’ve made the same mistake before.

As far as Billy Ray I enjoy him ,if it's true reviving older saws .As far as axe men or any other so called reality shows ,if we don't know we should they are all highly scripted .It really isn't like that in the real world .If they are on the money it's from an alternate universe I don't live in .

To make a half hour axemen episode they edit condense tens of hours of footage even 100's of hours. If it were to be 'real life' it would be like watching grass grow...nobody would watch it, the entertainment factor would be gone. Yes most of the sounds of saws, trucks and other things are samples laid in during editing. This is how the TV business works, trust me you wouldn't want it any other way. Reality shows are far from 'reality' its just the way it is. Don't let it ruin your day, take it all with a grain of salt and if you view with a close eye you will see the tricks of the trade....like a 2stroke bike riding by & they use the sounds of a 4stroke etc. They MAKE mistakes, I find them funny.

Or the sound of a processor head with a bar and chain on a machine , but they play the sound of an actual chainsaw.

Regarding how non authentic "axe men " a few years back a feller from I think Idaho blew through Ohio and attended one of our many GTG's .I can't remember his name but I sent him a bunch of tooling for a mini lathe .He later was seriously injured from a flip back of a limb and has since left the timber industry .Fact he gave me an antique Lombard chainsaw with a float carb which I got running .
That aside we had a conversation about so called reality shows concerning the timber industry and his opinion and mine where exactly the same ,mine based on the construction industry .If people acted the way on those shows as in real life they would have to have a doctor and a dentist on retainer because neither industry would accept that type of behavior towards other workers .Somebody will go to duke city .Count on it .
