‘The Last Woodsman’ Reality Series, What You Need To Know
There is a new reality TV show coming to Discovery Channel. The trailer described this shows as the deadliest one yet, and with other shows Deadliest Catch and Gold Rush: White Water, that says a lot. The new show is called The Last Woodsman.
Here is what you need to know about the new reality TV show coming to the Discovery Channel.
What Is The Last Woodsman About?
The new Discovery Channel series is called The Last Woodsman, and it is about the real-life lumberjack world, which is made up of crews who risk life and limb for a big payday. The camera crews follow these loggers as they work in the remote wilderness with only hand-held power saws and axes.
Their job is to take down trees, which could earn the lumberjacks up to $70,000 each. However, there is also another twist to this job: sustainability. The loggers need to find the older, weaker trees, and they will plant three more in their place for every tree they harvest.
Ultimately, this is one of the most dangerous jobs out there, with the crews braving the elements daily.
Who Is In The Last Woodsman On Discovery Channel?
The main character on the new Discovery Channel series is Cypress Creek Logging owner and operator Jared Douglas. He puts everything on the line to harvest the largest timber in the world. However, if he makes one misstep, it could cost tens of thousands of dollars at best and death at worst.
Douglas owns the business after buying out his former partner. He now has to secure $1,1 million in profit, or he could lose his home and company. “There were moments this season where you could see I was really stressed, and you had cameras there for that. I did put everything on the line,” Douglas said (via TV Insider). You’ll have to tune in to see how that goes. It was pretty hard exposing that point of my life.”
Douglas is also a father and husband, so he has more that he is fighting for than just to make money. He said they work in remote areas, the team stays at a camp, and they spend almost more time with each other than they do with their families.
“They are away from their homes trying to provide for their families all while doing the world’s most dangerous job,” Douglas said. “It’s a tough industry, but I think we do it really well. I hope we can show the world that. People will learn how we live in these remote areas.”
The Last Woodsmen premiered on November 15 on Discovery Channel, and it airs every Friday at 9/8c.
