Do You Watch The Ax Men on History?

chrisingham · 22nd April 2010, 07:25 AM

I will admit I had never watched Ax Men before but man I got my dose on Sunday. This Sunday they had the ax men marathon and I ended up watching all day. My favorite group has to be the Rygard team, not sure but for some reason I am quite fond of the way they get things done. Ohh and the swamp man is a crazy one. The way he talks is hilarious haha.

Anyone else watch Axmen? Just wanted to see if there are other axmen fans here cause I truly enjoyed the show this Sunday (ended up on couch with chips and watched it all day, what an awesome Sunday)

Yeah dont mind watching it when I get some spare time. Unfortunately I am stuck watching in on the net so it can get a bit slow to watch sometimes.

I think ax men is staged. No one is going to tear up their equipement like that for the convenience of a t.v. crew without getting paid for it. When I worked high lead in the Oregon Cascades, we wouldn't have thought to let a t.v. crew monkey around the unit whilst we were logging. I think it is all staged drama/bull#$%@!

I hear they got prosecuted by OSHA for the crap they did.

Apocalypse, I know the Oregon Associated Loggers and Washington Contract Loggers Association have both come out stating that Axemen T.V. series does not represent the professional logging industry in the Pacific Northwest of North America.
