Default History Channel's Ax Men

Anybody watch it tonight? Jimmy Smith died this year, what an abrasive man. Not sure why I even watch the show anymore, it was the equipment that first got me watching the show but the drama on the show has just gotten way to stupid and staged.

I don't have Discovery channel anymore....or any other networks besides the regular TV channels, but I agree. All the shows are over the top with the drama. I stopped watching TV altogether. Now I surf the internet instead.

I too was watching Ax Men for the equiment, and stopped after the first season.
I much preferred the Pelletier's show from Maine. American Loggers I think was the name.

Roger that on liking American Logger better than Ax Men, even better yet and my favorite of all is Swamp Loggers. Quite a bit more attention is payed to the equipment, which is what I'm there for!

I think American Loggers is over.

I just read that Swamp Loggers is now done after this yr.. an episode I was watching last night with Bobby & Justin (and wives) went to Con Expo in Vegas, I swear I saw a Vario track hoe, painted in red & black?! I haven't found the episode yet online.. anybody else notice the RC's on the program?

Ax Men only aired maybe one season on cdn History ch, I liked the old man w/the crippled hand, he was pretty cool to listening too.. the rest of them, what a bunch of _____? Was Jimmy Smith the skinny foul mouth yarder with thick glasses?

The Pelletier's was good too, but Bonecrusher, for such a big guy he sure was a crybaby! get rid of him.

Joe, Jimmy Smith was a diver, He and His son called themselves S+S Aqua Logging. Him and His son spent the whole time on the show swearing at each other and making fools of them selves. They were recovering logs that had sunk in rivers years ago when they floated logs to the saw mills, Jimmy got him self in hot water in Washington when He did not have permits to taking these logs and disturbing the environment.

This one was at the Gate's hose booth for a contest. The next pair were at the Rexroth both. Third one had an unbilical cord, Neat shovel to operate!
Kinda funny, I went to the show and the first picture's were RC stuff, LOL!
Cheer's, Neil.
