Review: AX MEN - A new series on the History Channel
March 8, 2008
I recently took a look at the first episode from the History channel’s new series, AX MEN, and my first reaction was “These guys are crazy!”
Ax Men follows the life of Pacific Northwest timber cutters. The thing you need to know is that this job is dangerous, really dangerous, most of the people working there have had a work related injury or even worse, have seen their friends die on the job. Everyday is a matter of life and death, one single mistake and everything could go wrong.
Now I’m sure you’re wondering “but why would they keep working there?” Well, I don’t have an answer to that, but if you are curious to find out more about who these people are, then watching Ax Men is a good place to start.

The first ever non-fiction series about the treacherous life of Pacific Northwest timber cutters, AX MEN every Sunday, at 10pm ET/PT beginning March 9th on History. From History and Original Productions, the same team responsible for the mega hit, Ice Road Truckers, this series looks at the legacy that the pioneers of our country laid for the present and future generations of loggers. Over the course of thirteen episodes, Ax Men follows four logging crews through a season in the remote forests of northwest Oregon. Plagued by mechanical failures, relentless weather-including a hurricane that ripped through the area- and violent and unpredictable terrain, these brave men risk their lives retrieving the very timber we depend upon to build our country. Snapped cables, runaway logs and treacherous machinery are among the many dangers that threaten the lives and safety everyday. Anything and everything can go wrong on these sites and the price of even the simplest mistake can mean death.

UFO HUNTERS Review - “The UFO Before Roswell”
February 5, 2008
I finally took a look at the first episode from The History Channel’s UFO HUNTERS (which I wrote about here) called “The UFO Before Roswell.”
In the episode, the team examines an incident that took place two weeks before the now-famous report of a UFO crash in Roswell, New Mexico.
First I would like to mention that the whole UFO “obsession” is not really my thing. If it turns out I switch the channel and find an interesting program about it, I might watch it, but I won’t go out of my way to find something about it. What I did like about the episode was that the UFO Hunters team was really trying to find what had happened and didn’t shove the UFO theory down our throat. If it turned out that the evidence proved that the materials found were from out of this world, then fine but if not, then that’s it.
Obviously the first episode doesn’t answer everything since it is a series, so you can expect more investigations in future episodes about different unexplained events.
If finding out about unexplained events and UFO interests you, then you might enjoy watching UFO Hunters on Wednesdays at 10pm on The History Channel.
You can watch the promo for next episode on The History Channel website.
