This Friday, Discovery’s The Last Woodsmen isn’t just venturing into the deep woods; it’s staring into the abyss of financial ruin. In “Back from the Dead,” Jared gambles a staggering quarter-million dollars on a new logging site so remote, it might as well be on the moon. For him, this isn’t just about trees; it’s about survival. Succeed, and his business lives to chop another day. Fail, and he’s kindling.
Meanwhile, Ross has the unenviable task of moving their entire floating camp ten miles further into the wilderness. Now, anyone who’s ever tried to wrestle a sofa up a flight of stairs knows the frustration of moving bulky objects. Imagine doing that with a logging camp, on water, miles from civilization. Sounds delightful. I’m sure there won’t be any unforeseen snags or equipment malfunctions.
The Last Woodsmen provides viewers with a potent dose of adrenaline-fueled logging action, a career path slightly more exciting than your average cubicle farm. This week, that action is turned up to 11, with each swing of the axe carrying the weight of Jared’s gamble and the crew’s future.
The show’s premise is simple: harvest extremely valuable timber in unforgiving locations where one wrong step can be financially crippling, even deadly. These aren’t your garden-variety trees either. Some of these arboreal giants are worth upwards of $70,000 each. That’s a lot of green for something green.
Tune in to Discovery this Friday, November 29, 2024, at 9:08 p.m. for “Back from the Dead,” and witness what happens when high-stakes lumberjacking meets the unforgiving wilderness.
