I caught the first 2 episodes on iPlayer last night and am left wanting more! As someone who spends their week behind a keyboard and my weekends cutting firewood for my log boiler I can really associate with the quote "this is my prozac".

 

Question for the professionals though - how rose tinted is the filter they used when filming this?

I don't think it's at bad, well not from the average man on the streets Point of view. It shows snippets of how it is, very small snippets at that. Comparing it to the US hit series Ax-men, well we Brits are a little more reserved, not really YEE-HAAAA like theyre portrayed. I should imagine it's difficult to make a programme that catches the best from woodland management, perhaps the scenery? Sitting by a fire ruminating the worlds problems? Seeing from the angle of someone getting away from it, it looks idyllic, the realism is that to turn a wood around to make a living from it will take more than a year, and a living.... Well if you're a hermit and happy to live in a bender and eat berries and roots you may call it living, I don't.
