i am seriously addicted to this series. i have so much respect for Kevin, Sarah and the whole team - their problem solving, hard work and tenacity...never seen anything like it

[excalibur]

Netflix on even days- infinite number of documentaries with David Attenborough...
Netflix on odd days- let's make tree cutting cool...

[Rapd]

I really don’t know how could I enjoy this, if every time a tree gets cut down, I will have an anxiety attack

[Bombadillio]

These are rare and pristine ancient ecosystems being destroyed. BC has plenty of second and third growth forests, though they are basically tree farms and are also often sprayed with toxic glyphosate to reduce competition from other plants. There is little biodiversity and it disrupts the watershed so we lose endangered species and healthy waterways and set off a trophic cascade. Keep the remaining old growth ecosystems intact, log the second growth.

Love this show and the family. It's unreal the machines that Eric repairs! Wow that guy sure knows his stuff.

[jonwalker]

Public *protesting the cutting down of old growth forests in Canada.
Netflix *I got a great idea for a new show!

[lesgeotrouvetout]

Really! These guys remind me Colonel Miles Quaritch, the main antagonist of Avatar movie. Big tree logging should be illegal, only 2.7% of old-growth forests remain on Vancouver Island.

It was a blast to work on this show as a video logger! glad to see so much positivity towards the show and the people involved- amazing crew in post, and incredible characters in the show to watch and see grow!!!

"we have something you find nowhere else so let's cut it down and sell it" - losing faith in mankind by the second..

[leannepelosi]

As a British Columbian living on Vancouver island, this is atrocious to see. At the same time, its a nice insight to seeing how these loggers really feel about approaching logging with a sustainable attitude. brutal Netflix! Second hand embarrassment to say the least.

[maxfinger]

It was 115° last week here in Portland, OR and 122 people died in the state from the heat and we're currently in a drought. I'm glad this show can make the environmental destruction and affect on climate change logging has look fun and hip!

Having grown up in the PNW (Pacific Northwest) right next to the Canadian border logging is a major industry aka jobs, it impacts the loggers, drivers, mill employees, office employees, local businesses that sell lumber and all their families. It's always a tricky balance of surviving off the environment and not destroying the environment. When there's no logging happening it's felt across the area hard and it's make it so a lot of small towns have been hit with people foreclosing/evictions, the kids at school depend on the schools even more for meals, and it takes years to bounce back. In 2015 when I went back to visit I was shocked to see how many acres were logged on the mountains (you can easily see from driving on I5) and had to be reassured by my family and friends that while it looked intense the loggers were still doing rotating spots (log, plant, grow, log). The PNW is also hugely agricultural (tulips, other flowers, apples, potatoes, onions, strawberries, cattle, dairy, alfalfa, oysters, clams (especially gooeyduck clam), dungeness crabs, and fish are the ones I can think of off the top of my head) so it's this huge ecosystem in the PNW of people living off the land. There's also so many Indigenous tribes across the PNW who also are a major part of the ecosystem (beyond the casinos). It's all about balance, I know the instant reaction is to wince when you see a tree being logged and then get mad however it's now as sinister as you might think and those who live and work the land and sea have such a huge appreciation for the environment because they literally see they have an impact on it and depend on it. So please before villainizing all these people and the people who live there please stop and wait for the actual content so you can get more information. Btw I'm very pro environment and live a very green life in every way I can so I'm not coming from an anti-environment place at all, I just want to help paint a fuller picture.

It is disgusting to glorify logging. There is less than 3% of old growth trees left on Vancouver Island. Once they are gone that's it. Also gone are the vital ecosystem that provide habitat for wildlife and water for all life. At this time, brave young people are literally putting their lives on the line to save these trees. Netflix should be ashamed. We need a series about the forest protectors at Fairy Creek, and not about destructive loggers looking to destroy these priceless forests to feed their greed.

[akhilp]

Lmao this is high-key tone-deaf considering what's going on in that region rn

[dustinwilliams]

"So treacherous few risk logging here" forestry industry employs a substantial percentage of the islands population.

[joeb]

The part where he says "everyone that works with me has to be 100% safe" right after explaining his brother died, but then seeing him do countless highly dangerous things outside Osha standards just previous 🤣🤣🤣... this guy is going to get someone killed

[sandrarawn]

🇨🇦 I grew up with my father and both brothers being masters in construction, building some of the largest, most beautiful homes in our town and surrounding areas. I would visit the sites while they were building and never really gave much thought to any of the wood that they would use to build the homes other than I loved the smell of wood. After watching this show I certainly have a new found respect for lumber! It's by no means an easy job what these guys do to get lumber out for people! It's a hard job that is dangerous if you don't know what your doing, and my word these guys have time and again shown us that they know these machines and how to do this work! Love the show. Can't wait for another season!

Preserve forest preserve trees.If u cut one tree then plant 3 more trees.

[trailvinzyl]

Hope these guys plant back the trees they chop off like how japanese did~

[Annie]
