That show was on cable televsion here quite a while ago, with occassional repeats.

 

It was filmed, maybe, 50 minutes west of us.

 

It's between the city we are in, and the ocean which is less than an hour and a half drive away.

 

There is a big log restaurant / logging museum about 20 miles from the coast that I like to eat at. To the side of their parking lot, is old machinery, including the big band saw below. That saw is about 16' tall, maybe taller.

 

The other photo is from a helicopter I rode in near Seaside, looking southward over the town of Cannon Beach. The green hills in view look very similar to the area being logged in AXMEN, about 30 miles east.

It got pulled off, sort of pulled through a big pulley type thing. He keeps it in his office. The thing that is responsible that is, not is severed hand.

30% landscape and 60% tree and shrub care. I teamed up with a local arborist for high climbing. He does the high stuff, and I do the low stuff.

 

Every now and then, when the logging operations get closer to a highway, I'll pull over and watch them work of a while. The ones I've seen, really do seem to be moving at a fairly industrious pace.
