[AT] Swamp loggers

[charliehill]

To me Ax Men is nothing more than a TV show.  I see very little reality in 
it and can barely stand to watch it.  Having worked for many years in 
construction and other dangerous jobs I'm sensitive to some of the crap they 
pull on that show.  If I was running that crew I'd have to fire about half 
of them and if I worked on that crew I think I'd have to quit.  To much 
un-necessary dangerous stuff going on to suit me.
