00:00Previously, on The Last Woodsville, Jared Douglas scrambles to fund a bid on an opportunity
00:23of a lifetime.
00:26The forever claim is the right to harvest that timber as long as your business stays in business.
00:32This is the holy grail.
00:35But while racing to harvest and haul big timber to the barge...
00:39The wood has to get in the water.
00:41So we really need to move fast.
00:43...setbacks threaten to destroy his future.
00:46Come on, you son of a...
00:48It's toast, man.
00:50When we lose a machine outright, it hurts.
00:54It's like a man down in the army.
00:57Everything's lying on my shoulders.
00:59I have to keep going forward. I have to push forward.
01:02Roll with the punches.
01:04It's how you handle the chaos is going to measure if you're going to be successful or not in this business.
01:20Ready?
01:37Gonna load the trailer back on.
01:39Go get another load.
01:42Logging full throttle for the past six days...
01:45It's an all-out scramble for the Cypress Creek crew.
01:48Just 48 hours remain until the deadline to fund the forever claim bid.
01:54To avoid defaulting, Jared must splash and barge enough big timber to secure the final $200,000.
02:02I got to get some extra load into the water and ready for the log version.
02:15Let's go get that money.
02:17Since the loss of a yarder last week, Jared hopes another fat truck will make up for time.
02:24This one with him at the wheel.
02:27We all got to pull on the rope and we all got to get this thing done.
02:32One of my mentors once told me you can never pay a man for a job that you can't do.
02:37I've done exactly what every single person in my company has done.
02:42There's a brotherhood in logging.
02:45You live it.
02:47You work within it.
02:49They become your family.
02:51I look at the people that rely on me.
02:53I can't quit.
02:54I have to keep going.
02:56And my crew knows that.
02:58They know that I'm going to be out there hustling.
03:03We're hauling about a 15 mile haul right now.
03:07You know, we'll get three loads a day.
03:09Per truck.
03:10Three loads.
03:11That's a substantial amount of money.
03:19Ooh.
03:20There's a loader.
03:23You're out here, right?
03:26Oh.
03:27Hey, do you got a turn out there or do I got a back up?
03:30Oh, the one right behind you.
03:32Not much of one.
03:36The low timber, the 35 ton hauler must be backed in, avoiding a thousand foot drop on one side.
03:47I swear, you got to give the road builder s**t.
03:59Just because you can turn a pickup truck around doesn't mean you can turn a logging truck around.
04:04Very good to back it, buddy.
04:05Okay.
04:06Here we go.
04:07I don't see that big, sexy red log loader in the back.
04:20That's good there.
04:21And there we go.
04:35Locked and loaded.
04:36We're going to try to get an 80 ton load.
04:39Get a few minutes sleep.
04:41Life of a truck driver.
04:43Further up the mountain.
04:57Oh, pretty steep, Jim.
05:02Fallers Jim Gardner and Rob Winger push higher into the untapped wilds of Big Cedar Country.
05:12What in the f**k?
05:16But a winter storm has left this face a wind-blown mess.
05:21There's a mountain of debris.
05:25Yep.
05:26Big time.
05:29Pacific gales can bring winds in excess of 90 miles per hour, causing widespread destruction and a whole host of problems for fallers.
05:39It's hit all these tops that are around us and broke a bunch of branches off.
05:43On top of that, the tops of these trees are all lying around the wood that we want to get at.
05:46There's going to be a few problems with this, but it looks like we have lots of really tall timber.
05:51Holy shnikes.
05:54Look at this.
05:58It looks like a pretty nice piece of wood.
06:01The heavy leaner cedar.
06:03It's kind of lean and heavy.
06:04Heavy at the rock bluff.
06:05Not so much at the hill.
06:07If it's solid, that's a beautiful piece of wood.
06:11Jesus.
06:12It's not going to be fun getting an escape trail through all this s**t.
06:17Especially for a 50-year-old.
06:20The last 30 years, I've been outside pretty much every day.
06:25I used to be the kid on the crew.
06:28And now it's like, holy s**t, I'm the old man.
06:31And why am I still doing it?
06:33I love it.
06:35Plus, I don't have enough money to retire.
06:38The way I want to retire, I want to buy a big farm and just relax with a bunch of animals that I can shoot and eat.
06:48What do you think, Jim?
06:49There's just so much wrong with this.
06:51Outside of being hit by all these trees, we've got ground debris.
06:56When this comes down and hits this, this stuff's going to teeter-totter everywhere.
07:00Across the rock is not really an option.
07:06Down there is definitely not an option.
07:09Falling across that rock is not an option.
07:11I think my best bet is to follow them up here.
07:13But to do that, I've got to follow it across all this blowdown in here.
07:17Right there, there's two broken ends on top of the blowdown.
07:20That's a pivot point to flick these 30-foot logs at me.
07:24This 150-foot-tall leaning tower of cedar is positioned to fall straight up the hill onto rocks and stumps that could destroy its value.
07:37Instead, Rob will aim his undercut 45 degrees across the hill and onto a softer bed of debris.
07:44But with so much blowdown, there's also a high risk of blowback.
07:49It could hit that chunk right there.
07:54You're hiding behind the cedar, but it flips the top of that chunk back at you.
07:59I know a faller that he fell a tree, got out on his escape trail, was standing on the end of a windfall.
08:05The tree hit that windfall, pivoted, and launched him about 30-40 feet in the air.
08:10I can't remember what he broke, but it was a lot of bones.
08:14I definitely do not want that happening, so I'm going to have to...
08:19There's a good pivot point right there, I'll buck that right there.
08:22Try and buck this limbs and this windfall down, and then I'll work on an escape trail.
08:27I think that's what I'm going to have to do.
08:35We've got our work cut out for us.
08:37Back near a float cam.
08:53Oh yeah.
08:54Foreman Ross Davis and mechanic Adrian Bailey inspect the remains of the grapple yarder
08:59to determine how much can be salvaged.
09:02Cabs torched?
09:04Cabs ruined.
09:05Oh yeah.
09:06Windows are all out.
09:07Glass everywhere.
09:08I feel bad for the machine because I love these pieces of equipment.
09:11That's what really brought me into this industry, was how interesting and unique this West Coast equipment is.
09:20And it's not exactly pleasurable for me to watch it burn to the ground.
09:25At 120 tons, there's up to 30 grand in scrap steel and parts that can be sold.
09:32And if Adrian and Ross can avoid any more damage, the extra cash could mean the difference between Jared funding or defaulting on his bid.
09:42All right, well, first things first. Let's get this thing on the ground.
09:48Our initial plan of attack is to cut the boom up.
09:51Okay, hang on here.
09:54There is a cable, it's called the topping line, and that holds it anchored to the rest of the machine.
10:00And we are going to cut that line.
10:03It's hazardous, as we are dropping a 20 ton boom to the ground.
10:09And Ross being the second set of eyes for me is going to be crucial.
10:15All right, well, be careful.
10:18Ready?
10:19Oh, God.
10:21The biggest concern to drop on this boom is the cables.
10:25Once that starts going and unwind them, it's going to be whipping all over the place.
10:29And that'll snap you and take your head off in a matter of seconds.
10:32The variable is like...
10:46No!
10:47No!
10:48No!
10:49No!
10:50No!
10:51No!
10:52No!
10:53No!
10:54No!
10:55No!
10:56No!
10:57No!
10:58No!
10:59No!
11:00No!
11:02No!
11:03Oh!
11:04Oh!
11:05Oh!
11:06Oh!
11:12Didn't see that one coming.
11:21What caught up?
11:22The tail up in the shiv up there.
11:24No.
11:25That didn't go as well as planned.
11:29OK, we've just created, basically, a booby trap.
11:33Oh, yay, yay.
11:36There's not really any safe way to cut this again.
11:40Now we have an uncontrolled, massively heavy load
11:43hanging over the ground like that.
11:45We have to neutralize this, for sure, immediately.
11:51We're in a hurry.
11:52A barge is coming, and they can't be delayed.
11:54This one's taking a little longer than expected.
11:57OK, well, I got an idea.
12:00We'll get the excavator, try smacking it down,
12:03and it should pull through there, I would think.
12:06Yeah.
12:07What could go wrong?
12:09A lot.
12:15I trust Ross fully, and when we work together,
12:17I just know that he's not going to get me injured
12:20or anything like that.
12:21He's a really good operator.
12:23That's as high as I can go.
12:25He's watching out for me while I work around him,
12:27and together working on this thing,
12:29we'll get it dismantled fast.
12:41F*** you.
12:42If that thing's jammed in there that well,
12:48it might not let go.
12:57Please go.
13:00Son of a f***.
13:01Back in the high country.
13:20Fallers Jim and Rob are battling blowdown for a cedar worth up to $25,000.
13:24Sometimes cleaning the debris is more work than falling the tree.
13:31Much more gooder.
13:33Got a nice trail, escape trail now.
13:38I think we're ready now.
13:40So, my plan, I'm going to get this heavy leaner.
13:45Got a nice little bed for it now.
13:47Yeah, that looks good.
13:48I think I got all the pivot points bucked.
13:50I got this one bucked.
13:51This one chunked out in case it flips up.
13:53I was going to clear some of that out of there,
13:56and then throw this heavy leaner up there.
13:59While I'm doing the low side of the undercut,
14:02I'm going to want to get you to watch.
14:04If it gets on top of all this windfalls,
14:07and comes sliding like the Egyptians did with the pyramids,
14:10with the logs, maybe it comes rolling back at us.
14:13That's why I got a good escape trail in behind here.
14:16Looks like a good plan.
14:24If this massive cedar drops on the cut logs up the hill,
14:27it can now roll straight back on Rob.
14:32So it's critical he make a heavy face cut
14:35to guide it onto a safer bed of debris.
14:41Okay, let's do it.
14:48Rob's going to be cutting,
14:49and I'm going to be his eyes and ears.
14:52This tree, it's leading up the hill.
14:54It could break off and go into the direction
14:56that it's not intended.
14:57I'm just going to watch out,
14:59make sure nothing's going to hit him,
15:00make sure he's safe,
15:01and we're going to do our job together.
15:03Mo!
15:04.
15:05.
15:06.
15:08.
15:10.
15:11.
15:12.
15:13.
15:14.
15:16.
15:17.
15:18.
15:19.
15:20.
15:31That'll work.
15:47It's going. It's going. Yeah, it is.
16:01For sakes.
16:07It landed right on the bed that I wanted it to and it still broke,
16:11which makes me think there's rot in it if it broke
16:14and I already had a nice bed for it.
16:17Yeah, this thing didn't even hit anything and it broke.
16:20It is what it is.
16:23Two miles below.
16:31The bigger the load, the bigger the money.
16:35The clock is ticking,
16:37as Jared needs every last stick of timber barged out for a shot at his bid.
16:44This forever claim,
16:46it's going to give me a little bit more home time
16:48so I can watch my kids race their dirt bikes or, you know, be there for my wife.
16:55This takes a lot away from your family.
16:57I probably give more of my time back to my crew
16:59than I get back to my family.
17:01So I need this claim.
17:10He's peeking it up.
17:14I think he's done.
17:15Time to wrap her up.
17:21Making sure the load's secure.
17:22Make sure nothing slides over the front of the truck going down the steep hill.
17:26And, uh, we'll be on our way to the beach.
17:32Nice.
17:33Nice and tight.
17:43Good morning.
17:44Good morning.
17:45Good morning.
17:46I'm shooting.
17:59All right.
18:00Do you feel that weight on there?
18:01Totally different animal once you put 100 tons on her.
18:07Heavy wood.
18:08The trailer's locked up there for a guy.
18:22Free now?
18:23Yeah, it looks like they're back down there.
18:26Yeah, you're good.
18:28Trailer brakes are locking up.
18:33They're locked up again.
18:35Got plenty of air pressure.
18:37I'm going to go ahead on a mirror.
18:44Yeah, that's right. Go ahead again. See what happens.
18:53Yeah, you're nice and locked up.
18:59Oh, it's an uggin.
19:07What the?
19:23High above float cam.
19:25Problems with the trailer brakes right now.
19:31That's dangerous.
19:34I disconnected the air supply, hooked it back up.
19:37There's a part of me right now that's thinking, what happens if this happens on the way down the mountain?
19:43Maybe a blockage of air, but we're definitely going to have to monitor it on the way down the hill.
19:50I'm going to have to really look at the air gauges and make sure I'm keeping my air, make sure the brakes are going to hold.
19:56All right.
20:01And here we go.
20:07Full load heading down the mountain.
20:11Definitely did not like the brakes locking out.
20:14Brakes fail.
20:15We're in big trouble.
20:27Here's a steep incline.
20:38Didn't like that sound.
20:40Lockups acting up again.
20:49Brakes stop working.
20:51This truck will take off like a foot.
21:00Come on, baby.
21:01Come on.
21:10There we go.
21:16The rough stuff's done.
21:19Home stretch.
21:22Now we're going to hit the main line and pick up some speed.
21:26Make some money.
21:27I have people counting on me to succeed.
21:36So every day is crucial.
21:38Get these loads off and get paid.
21:42Me, my crew, and all of us have swim in this game.
21:48Nicely done.
21:49Five miles up the shore.
22:07Ross and Adrian struggle to scrap the yarder.
22:11And the 40,000 pound boom is not going without a fight.
22:15I can't believe this boom is still in the air.
22:18I'm lifting up the back end of the machine for 10 feet.
22:22This thing's 120 ton.
22:24It's just not working.
22:28Hey, put your bucket teeth around all the cables.
22:32Yeah.
22:33Yeah.
22:54Oh, oh, oh.
22:58Holy .
22:59Nice work, Roscoe.
23:10Look at that.
23:12Look what held it up.
23:14Just that little chunk in there.
23:16Just wedged her up.
23:18Hopefully we don't have any more hang-ups.
23:20Yeah.
23:22This whole A-frame up here is the gantry.
23:25That's what holds the boom up.
23:26And we'll just pull the gantry off.
23:29And the rest of it will stay as is.
23:31And then we can drag everything off and then basically it's a cut and show.
23:35Do your worst.
23:36Do your worst.
24:00Bullseye.
24:01Bullseye.
24:25I do so much fixing.
24:26All I do is fix, fix, fix.
24:27It can't be fixed all time.
24:28I need a break.
24:31Nice.
24:33Oh, yeah.
24:41These machines are old, amazing history.
24:43A lot of guys won't be happy to see us desecrating it in this way.
24:47But just two guys trying to get this thing as ground level as possible, as fast as possible.
24:53I'm having fun.
24:55Okay, go for it.
24:57Watch your toes.
24:58Watch your toes.
24:59Woo-hoo!
25:00Woo-hoo!
25:01Woo-hoo!
25:02Woo-hoo!
25:03Woo-hoo!
25:04Woo-hoo!
25:05Woo-hoo!
25:06Woo-hoo!
25:07Woo-hoo!
25:08Woo-hoo!
25:09Woo-hoo!
25:10Woo-hoo!
25:11Woo-hoo!
25:12Woo-hoo!
25:13Woo-hoo!
25:14Woo-hoo!
25:15Woo-hoo!
25:25Woo-hoo!
25:28Woo-hoo!
25:30Woo-hoo!
25:31Rock and roll, buddy.
25:32Rock and roll.
25:33Smash it, mash it, kill it, eat it, it, shoot it, burn it.
25:35Bash it, bash it, kill it, eat it,
25:37shoot it, burn it.
25:40Me and Ross are feeling good.
25:41We got this job done almost
25:44till we get this thing on a boat
25:45and the Scrap Boys will have their way with her
25:47and she'll rest in steel heaven.
25:54Back in the high country.
25:59For f***ing sakes.
26:01Jim and Rob's last giant cedar shattered on impact
26:05and lost half its value.
26:07It didn't even hit anything and it broke.
26:09So they need at least one more money tree
26:12to stand a chance at recouping the loss.
26:14Fortunately for them, their redemption tree
26:17could be just a few feet away.
26:20Well, look at that.
26:21It looks like a scratching post to me.
26:23That's a mountain lion.
26:26I think, yeah, I think you're right.
26:27You can tell by all the smaller claw marks.
26:29Look at it, smaller claw marks, one, two, three.
26:33It's probably not far off.
26:34It's pretty fresh.
26:37They could be watching this right now.
26:40Oh yeah, cats are sneaky.
26:46The cat scratch cedar.
26:48This thing looks sound from the bottom,
26:50but then you take a little closer look.
26:52There's carpenter ant holes down here.
26:55So who knows what the, if it's sound in the core.
26:59Sounds good there.
27:00But then you get to the high side.
27:03Sounds solid there.
27:07Not so much there.
27:10Definitely not solid there.
27:12So this one's going to be trickier to keep off the bluff.
27:15But there is some meat in it.
27:16So hopefully I can swing it right up here.
27:20Otherwise it's going right on the bluff.
27:28This cedar is highly unstable at the base,
27:31and likely to fall straight downhill where it could explode.
27:35But if there's still enough holding wood to control it,
27:37Rob will once again aim his undercut across the side hill
27:41toward a softer bed of blowdown,
27:44where this time it'll hopefully stay in one piece.
27:47As long as I can keep the two corners of my undercut
27:51in the sound wood,
27:52hopefully I can control the direction of fall.
27:56You got it, buddy.
27:59There's so many factors involved.
28:02You got rock debris,
28:05ground debris.
28:07There's just too many variables.
28:10It's nice to have a second set of eyes
28:12in case something goes sideways.
28:14Ready?
28:17Ready?
28:22Look out!
28:25Back up!
28:38Look out!
28:40Back up!
28:42Heads up!
28:47Coming up!
29:00Honey shot!
29:01Whoo!
29:03That was a nicer tree than the leaner cedar!
29:06Yeah, go figure.
29:10Awesome!
29:11I love that.
29:12If I could do this all day, every day,
29:14oh wait I do!
29:15With this tree still completely intact, Rob and Jim should have just enough timber on the ground to pay for Jared's bid on the forever claim.
29:28The cat scratch cedar was, I thought it was going to be a bag of s*** with the carpenter ant holes, but they must have just started chewing on it.
29:36This is the nicest cedar I've had all day, all week.
29:40I bet you that cat's right up there watching me, just waiting to pounce.
29:43I cut down her favourite scratch and pull.
29:53Back down by the water.
30:02Rocks are ticking.
30:04Ross and Adrian's salvage mission moves on to the next challenge.
30:08To cash in on scrap steel and parts, they must get all 120 tonnes of the dead yarder onto a boat.
30:16We've got to load a bunch of the scrap into it, and then this big, ugly hunk is going to get pushed on.
30:23I'll pull with this thing.
30:25Yeah.
30:26We'll hook that strap up to you, and we'll push with the lug loader.
30:29Okay.
30:30Then we'll have a better chance of skiering it.
30:31We've lightened it up a little bit, got the boom and gantry off, but this is still 90 to 100 tonnes, and the barge ramp is about that wide, so it's going to be tight.
30:43And there's going to be a decline going down to the barge ramp, and that's a lot of weight.
30:47If we lose control of it, it's going to do some damage to something.
30:51I think we're just going to have to gamble with no brakes.
30:53What could go wrong?
30:57Okay.
31:10Hey, you can be the high, sir.
31:13Which way we've got to go?
31:14Yeah.
31:15Okay, let's go.
31:21Okay.
31:23We've got to start turning it that way.
31:47Okay.
31:47We've got to start turning it that way.
31:51A little more.
31:56A little more.
31:58Easy, Ross.
32:00Ross.
32:00Yeah.
32:01You've got to watch your counterweight.
32:03Can I hit it?
32:04Just about.
32:04Here.
32:15No.
32:16Oh, yeah.
32:17Oh, yeah.
32:18And we'll be back.
32:18Oh, yeah.
32:20That's all.
32:23Oh, yeah.
32:24Oh, yeah.
32:24Oh, yeah.
32:25Oh, yeah.
32:29Oh, yeah.
32:30Oh, yeah.
32:31Oh, yeah.
32:33Oh, yeah, baby!
32:36Nice job, buddy.
32:38West Coast logging is never a dull moment, brother.
32:42We had some ups and downs, some excitement and a bit of danger,
32:45and fear, danger, excitement all hanging out together.
32:48Tons of good parts for Jared,
32:50and there's a lot of weight and scrap metal there.
32:52Like, you know, there's good money in these things
32:54no matter how you cut it.
32:56It's on to the next challenge.
32:59Let's go back logging.
33:03Best view in the world, the Hercules.
33:21After 10 all-out days of production,
33:26Jared and the crew are down to the final hours.
33:30To barge and deliver in time before bidding closes.
33:37It all comes down to this moment.
33:43Lots of time and effort has gone in to get this log barge out.
33:47It's a great sight, beautiful day.
33:49We've got lots of wood.
33:51I need to turn this log barge into dollars in my bank account right now.
33:58Every bundle must be carefully loaded onto the barge,
34:02so it can be hauled more than 100 miles away to market.
34:08But Jared's estimated profit is based on volume,
34:11and how much of it hits the deck of the barge undamaged.
34:15Dave Lorne is running a crane right now.
34:18He out here, Dave Lorne?
34:21Yeah, go for Dave.
34:24How's things looking up there?
34:26Hey, you guys made some nice bundles, lots of them.
34:29Nice, nice, nice.
34:32We're going to keep you guys busy this season.
34:34Oh, yeah, boy.
34:36You know, it all comes down to this last moment.
34:40This is like the gold miner's gold weigh-in, right?
34:44This is just on a way bigger scale.
34:47There's king of the Klondike, now there's king of the coast.
34:52It's impossible for loggers to even know their costs.
34:55It is a take a dart and throw it at the board
34:58and hope you land on the bullseye area,
35:00because it's so hard.
35:02Wreck your machine and your costs go through the roof,
35:04you lose money on that job.
35:06We can't haul because the river's blown out.
35:10Just how efficient we are.
35:12That's a huge drive around if we make money or not.
35:16Logging is like taking a pitchfork to a wheelbarrow full of cash,
35:21throwing it over your shoulder,
35:23and hoping a dollar bill lands in your pocket.
35:30Yeah, go ahead.
35:32Okay, we're going to fill the barge.
35:38Um...
35:46I think these two shark ones are yours.
35:48I got this mangled up one and a mangled up one.
35:51No, the brand new one.
35:52Remember you got brand new wedges?
35:53That's yours.
35:54Mine's chewed on the corners.
35:58Rob's my brother.
36:00He is a true brother.
36:02It's getting warm out.
36:04I know you like the heat, but I hate it.
36:06Oh, I shine in this.
36:08We've worked together for 10 years falling
36:11and 13 years before that logging.
36:14If you want, I can hang out and hammer some wedges for you if you want.
36:18Okay, that would be helpful.
36:20Okay.
36:21There's something about falling that really bonds you to each other.
36:26When you look after yourself, number one, and your partner, number two,
36:31that's a very strong bond between two people.
36:34And when you save somebody's life, it's even stronger.
36:37Can't always be nice unless you're Jimmy Gardner.
36:40And when you feel it, it's cool.
36:50On the coast of the Pacific Northwest...
36:54Okay, we're gonna fill the barge.
36:59Um...
37:07Yeah, I think we have more than we need, actually.
37:10It'll be stuffed right full.
37:12Well, that's good news.
37:14Definitely shaping up to be a great season.
37:17Looking good.
37:18Pretty impressed, Jared.
37:19Once delivered, this barge comes in at $212,000,
37:24which combined with the salvaged yarder gives Jared more than enough
37:28to have made good on his aggressive forever claim bid.
37:31I feel like all roads have led to this moment.
37:35Everything is lining up perfectly.
37:39I've never been this happy with my crew.
37:43We've worked really hard to make this deal.
37:45I'm this close to having a forever claim.
37:47Like, this close.
37:49So I'm a little nervous.
37:50Yeah.
37:51It's real.
37:52It's a real thing right now.
37:53It's happening.
37:54Three shots each. Let's go.
37:55My crew is the most important thing in this company.
37:59Like, they're just salt of the earth,
38:01hard-working, hilarious guys.
38:04To a good season.
38:06Here we go.
38:08Come on, Happy.
38:10Happy Douglas.
38:12Ah!
38:14my John Daly.
38:18Jared's operation's quite a bit different this year.
38:21He's solo.
38:22Doesn't have a partner.
38:23Kind of restricting him.
38:25The gloves are off.
38:27The guy's a wild mustang running through the bush.
38:31He's taking on everything he can get his hands on.
38:35He's got lots of drive.
38:37Adrian.
38:39Just like starting to tug.
38:40Takes him forever.
38:41You better watch .
38:42Yep!
38:43Woo!
38:44Hello.
38:45Hello.
38:46Hi.
38:47Is this Garrett?
38:48Yeah.
38:49Garrett Douglas?
38:50Yeah.
38:51Hey, can you wait a minute?
38:52One second.
38:53Just getting in my room here.
38:54Whoa!
38:55You there?
38:56Yes, sir.
38:57I'm calling about the bid you placed on the forever claim.
38:59Yeah.
39:00Unfortunately, there was a higher bidder.
39:01You gotta be kidding me.
39:02Yeah.
39:03By who?
39:04Looks like, uh, John Muhammad.
39:06John?
39:07That's what I'm showing.
39:08.
39:09.
39:10.
39:11.
39:12.
39:13.

39:24.
39:25.
39:26.
39:27.
39:28.
39:29.
39:36Okay.
39:37Thanks.
39:38My bid for the forever claim, which I thought was a lock.
39:40I was a little bitter.
39:42Somebody beat me.
39:44John Muhammad.
39:47Fierce competitor of mine.
39:49.
39:51.
39:54I was banking on that for my crew's jobs.
39:57I fumbled the ball.
40:02I have nothing lined up for my company.
40:05I have to scramble.
40:07In logging, always the unforeseen stuff is what gets you.
40:12You have to be able to pivot.
40:15And these decisions have to happen immediately.
40:18I can't tell these people they're not getting a paycheck.
40:22The biggest chip on my shoulder that I have
40:26is I've always come up with the work.
40:30And my crew knows that and they bank on that
40:33because they know that I'm going to be out there hustling
40:37and I do not want to let them down.
40:46I need to make this happen.
40:48Yeah, it's not going to work, Jared.
40:50I don't want to see people lose their jobs.
40:53Whoa.
40:56Back up.
40:57This thing wants the gold.
41:01Nice shooting.
41:02If this doesn't happen, I'm .
41:09We're going to work our fingers to the bone.
41:11It's going. It's going.
41:14We're going to bleed for this.
41:16Now, this is make or break.
41:21You have to adapt or fail.
