Swamp Loggers

Fourth-generation logger Bobby Goodson leads a rugged crew of men into the swamps where most loggers don't dare to venture, but harsh weather, a freak snowstorm and a bad economy wreak havoc upon his business.

The mills are back up and running, providing great news for Bobby Goodson and his crew as they get back to work in the swamps of North Carolina. But a series of mechanical breakdowns and weather challenges threaten to put Bobby's business on the line.

Struggling with equipment break-downs and hard financial times, Goodson All Terrain is dealt another blow when the mill says that it will stop buying hardwood at weeks end. Then, an equipment malfunction could cost tens of thousands of dollars to repair.

After only a few weeks of logging in the swamp, Bobby Goodson and company are forced to move to a new site. The new location is a flooded, dangerous wetland that could very well sink Bobby's comeback.

The dangerous swamp threatens to swallow Justin and his machine, and Bobby recounts a terrifying accident. Then as the bad economy wreaks further havoc on Bobby's business, the crew hopes a move to a new track of swampland will help improve the situation.

As Goodson All-Terrain Logging pushes to make up for lost time in a new swamp, washed out roads and broken equipment force unscheduled delays. After a record all-night haul raises their hopes, an unexpected mill shutdown bogs the crew down once again.

As most of the mills close their doors, Bobby is forced to move his crew out of the swamp to harvest pine wood to make ends meet. Just as things start to look up, the economy deals a major blow, forcing Bobby to make the toughest decision of his life.

Goodson All-Terrain Logging battles the swamp in what they hope to be the final week of mill quotas. But after more rain and mill restrictions, the crew's morale sinks and tensions rise, forcing Bobby to rally the company before it crumbles from within.

Bobby gets orders to move back to the 421 pine site and feller operator Simitrio informs the company of a trip to Mexico. A tropical storm rolls through forcing the crew to fight rising waters and sinking equipment as they make a push to get ahead.

Goodson All-Terrain Logging starts working on a site that has beaten them twice before, the infamous tract 421. The crew attempts to haul 75 loads in one week but failing equipment and bad weather jeopardizes their chances of meeting the ambitious goal.

Goodson All-Terrain Logging enters the homestretch on the infamous tract 421. But rising water levels, sinking equipment and a fuel shortage all threaten to shut the operation down.

Bobby considers growing his operation and making big purchases. But when the swamp brings uncertainty, he has second thoughts. Joy deals with a broken truck, permit issues arise, and a 45-ton grinder known as "The Beast" is brought in to maximize revenue.

As floodwaters surge, Goodson All-Terrain escapes to higher ground. With the future uncertain, Bobby struggles to keep the wood moving and his crew working. But despite the setbacks, they have a chance to break their all-time hauling record.

The crew prepares to start a new tract but is greeted by floodwaters, making it impossible to log. With nowhere to go, Bobby appeals to Corbett and the crew is sent to a distant site where their resourcefulness is put to the test.
