About the Show

In the far northeastern corner of the United States lies a vast primeval back-
country known as the North Maine Woods. This breathtaking wilderness constitutes
the single largest swath of unprotected forest north of the Mississippi -- and
serves as the setting for a century-old way of life that demands the utmost from
men and machines who return year after year to reap nature's bounty.

Meet the men of Pelletier Inc., a family with timber in its blood for three
generations. Each day, seven brothers and their sons lead their crews deep into
the Maine wilderness to claw out a living. They cut roads through the mud and
snow, harvest timber with fearsome machines and drag monstrous bundles of wood
to waiting trucks which hurtle down unpaved, ice-covered logging routes at
breakneck speeds to mills throughout the U.S. and Canada. It's a brutal and
dangerous existence in which a twist of fate, one error in judgment, can yield
horrific consequences: mangled equipment, injury, and even death.

American Loggers follows this hearty breed, marveling at their stubborn
dedication, courage and ingenuity as they tackle the deep forests of northern
Maine. We'll follow the saga of their business and legacy, their hardship and
triumph, the simple joys and tribulations that come with doing what they must to
preserve their family tradition and survive in a changing world.


HAMMER DOWN - August 20, 2009
Lumber markets are collapsing, forcing Rudy and Eldon to downsize earlier than
expected. A blizzard keeps log haulers parked in the yard, while Eldon gets
stuck in a dangerous corner and Gilley's rig is engulfed in flames after he
pushes it too hard.
