Swamp Loggers

With wood demand unusually high and the supply of cut timber low, the mills pressure Bobby and his crew to cut more logs. When equipment setbacks and a logging site filled with beaver damaged trees slows progress, Bobby is forced to regroup.

Separation anxiety sets in as Bobby is forced to split his crew between two tracts of land. Then when a key piece of equipment goes down deep in the swamps, the entire company comes to a halt.

As a deadline on a land-lease looms, Bobby juggles the logistics of managing two logging sites. With Corbett Timber breathing down the company's back, Murphy's Law hits, testing the mettle of the crew and putting Bobby's reputation on the line.

Bobby manages his split crew and tensions rise as mechanical issues set them back. With an expiring land lease threatening to shut them down, Bobby must meet a looming deadline in order to uphold his reputation as the best swamp logger in the business.

With the crew together again on one tract, Bobby and his team move to the backside of the Hillburn tract where abundant high value timber awaits them. But rainy days and one mechanical issue after another creates setbacks.

After being plagued by bad weather and one breakdown after another, the crew hopes to regain some ground and finally take advantage of the prime timber on the Hillburn tract. But mechanical nightmares and mill restrictions continue to set them back.

Bobby and his crew continue to battle disappointing load counts on the Hilburn tract. A truck shortage, bad weather and giant trees hinder progress and then dissension flares amongst the crew. Bobby employs new tactics to try to gain the upper hand.

Justin is left in charge and put to the test as the crew works from two decks to reach the elusive 100-load goal by week's end. But in order to conquer the Hilburn Tract, a new road must be stabilized.

While preparing to move to a new tract, mill quotas hamper their efforts and Bobby is admitted to the hospital.

Bobby and Justin are out of town so Dave is in charge of the swamp. The crew falls behind and a hurricane threatens.
