Discovery Channel series like Deadliest Catch and Gold Rush have brought viewers directly into dangerous environments as workers navigate major risks for huge rewards. And its latest reality show, The Last Woodsmen, gives an eye-opening look into another perilous profession: the lumbermen who chop down some of the world's largest trees for equally big bucks.
Premiering tonight, November 15, at 9pm Eastern Time on the Discovery Channel, The Last Woodsmen goes deep into the remote wilderness to explore the dangerous world of big money logging. "On a floating barge hundreds of miles from civilization, veteran logger Jared Douglas puts everything on the line to harvest the largest timber in the world. One misstep in this high-risk industry could cost tens of thousands of dollars, or even a life." reads the official series synopsis, per Warner Bros. Discovery. "Joining him at the edge of the world is a tight-knit crew of lumbermen who, with only axes and hand-held power saws, take down massive, highly valuable trees that can be worth up to $70K each."
“The amount of danger involved in harvesting wood—something we see in our everyday lives—is incredibly compelling,” Howard Lee, President of Discovery Networks, said in a statement. “THE LAST WOODSMEN takes us deep into the secluded wilderness with these courageous and highly skilled loggers as they literally risk their lives. It’s a rarely explored, dangerous business which translates to incredibly engrossing television.”
