Hi Folks,
Has anyone caught the Extreme Loggers on Discovery? I hope this isn't what is being made instead of continuing AxMen...I would be very upset if it was!!!

I've not seen it. Like you, I hope they will continue the Axmen Show. Isn't EXTREME worn out yet? Are'nt there enough EXTREME participants in wheelchairs or early graves to satisfy TV watchers. Today's extreme are the 70's and 80's Supers. Is it any wonder that the rest of the planet sees people in the U.S. as a collection of exhorbedent stroker jagoffs? How about getting up in the morning and putting in a hard day's work, then putting your earnings into U.S.-made products. Why do we insist on giving away everything that the WWI and WWII generations gave us. This has become the lawsuit, gov't job, lottery reliant, overtaxed, over-regulated, racist opportunity, Ghetto Nation. Thankfully, in the woods, my chainsaw song drowns out the hip hop. It's nice to come home and watch Axmen and see some other hard working individuauls that provide the essential sweat that keeps our economy running. No thanks to the idiot politicians who think that the money trees are there only to line their pockets. Stop letting the news people drive the economy downward. Get to work. Buy american goods. The U.S. car companies re-tooled to provide the material to stop the attacking Japanese Army. If we let them go down now, do you think Toyota will save us from the next war? Pardon me for a second while I throw up... Invest in Timber and the Big 3. Support the coal industry. Support domestic steel production. Write your senator and congressman and push for less EPA regulation. It's up to the citizens to save their country or give it away. Work hard. Raise your family to do the same. Watch Axmen.

Hello all. I watched the one on swamp logging and mule logging. Didn't see the one on helicopter logging yet. I liked the mule logging the best. It was neat to see how it was done before machinery and hydraulics. Looked like pretty hard work for both the mules and the men.

I saw both of them too, and they were pretty neat. Except that guy with the mules couldn't fall trees to save his life.
I miss my AXMEN!!!

Settle for Extreme logging and you non history reality show fans get lost and take your moddern loggers with you. This is the History Channel. Can you get that through your heads that Ax Men is nothing to do with history. The only logging show that needs to be on this channel is a history of logging

Stand up and get reality shows off History including Extreme Trains

Unbelievable behavior! How tragically sad that the almightly value of a log takes precedence over how men treat each other...sons and fathers, brothers, friends....all whipped unmercifully by media-driven testosterone.
I work with loggers every day who are hard-working men and women. I have tremendous respect for what they do for work, and even more for who they are for people.
You may be accomplishing your objective by showing the extreme techniques of logging, but you paint a profile of loggers that is inaccurate, unjustified, and shameful. This is NOT what the History Channel is supposed to be about, and the real shame is yours.

Are you sure you're posting on the right forum for complaints about "Extreme Logging"
We have our own group of complainers about these shows and it hasn't done them a bit of good to do it so far.
As long as people keep watching and the shows keep getting ratings and people keep talking about them....you will see more of them until it becomes overkill or if enough people boycott them by not watching.
This of course is not an overnight process. but it has happened before to the "History" channel. It was the laughingstock of TV being called "the Hitler channel and other such derogatory names. So it changed. One could argue of course that it has gone from bad to worse, but I will leave that argument to our resident crowd of naysayers,
The people I've made friends with from both I.R.T and Ax Men groups are all hardworking, family oriented, intelligent people. who if not for these TV Shows I never would have had the opportunity to meet in my everyday life.
Unfortunately this world today is filled with mean-spirited greedy individuals who only care about themselves, but there are also many people who do care about one another,
Negativity sells. The only thing that bothers me is people make value judgments about people based on a few minutes of edited TV. I think that's unfair. Don't you?
