Logging

Nonfiction • TV-14 • Directed by: Tougher In Alaska • 45 minutes

Logging is a dangerous profession anywhere, but in Alaska's Southeast Panhandle, unforgiving coastal mountains and steep valleys make this work downright deadly. Geo will learn first-hand just how risky logging can be when he embeds with veteran loggers in Ketchikan, located in the heart of the Tongass National Forest, the nation's largest forest. They'll teach him how to fell giant spruce trees with a single chainsaw, "choke and chase" them with a cable-logging machine, and deliver them on teeth-chattering logging roads to the mill. And he'll join the most extreme loggers of them all - heli-loggers - who go deep into rugged stretches and steep areas where no roads can go.
