Think it was the first in a docu-series about foresters in Oregon.
Looks amazing to do as a job, but fuck me does it look dangerous as well. 
I'm sure they get paid well to reward the risk, but they were each reeling off loads of injuries that they've had, be it from chain saws, falling trees, machinery, snapping cables etc..
pretty crazy. think it will be an interesting series.
Anyone see it?

Think it was on the History Chanel actually. Not so sure why really. About 9pm.
The guy had a metal claw type thing as his left forearm, and still operates a chain saw with it 
He also said one of the things that suspends from the sky-line to winch and drag the logs up the mountain once clonked him on his noggin and split his skull halfway around his head

I wanted to say history, but thought that cant be right
It will more than likely be repeated, worth the watch?
