3.0 out of 5 stars disappointed ........ December 24, 2010
By nwmole
Format:DVD-R
volume 1 leads one to believe this is the season 1 when in fact it is only 3 episodes of the series.i think these are the pilot episodes since mainly bobby
is featured.the 2nd name justin peed is not a featured person he is the narrator
since mike rowe narrated season 1 -this is before season 1 -shows justin goodson
not as the mechanic/foreman but a shovel operator -i think this is from 2008?
i thoght was full season .packaging misleads -no extras no booklet -bare bones-
discovery store has for 20 bucks.....

5.0 out of 5 stars down to earth and lovable show January 12, 2012
By A.Kaiser
Amazon Verified Purchase
This is definately better than AxMen. The Swamp Loggers are tough people dealing with tough problems and working through them together. I'm a forester and this show is closest to my experience with loggers. There's lots of work to be done in the woods and you're lucky enough if you break even. There is absolutely no time to screw around, in fact, when you're working in the woods screwing around can be deadly.
