Short filmTranscript
00:00one of my mentors early in life told me that logging is a very bumpy road and it is I've
00:25I've fully embraced that a lot of my competition their dads handed them the business they didn't
00:34spend 20 years in a machine like I did hard work sweat and blood and tears that's where you see
00:40the best of people when your crew know that you do everything you can to fight for them it's like
00:47a code like a brotherhood you're building this empire together I'm excited about this year I
00:54have an absolute dynamite opportunity to level up fast and I need to capture it I want to grow this
01:02business to watch other people's lives thrive and I'm not gonna stop till I do she goes previously
01:12on the last woodsman back up Jared Douglas took the biggest risk of his career for control of a
01:21logging company of his own if I don't have 1.1 million dollars by the end of this season I'll
01:27lose everything navigating a barrage of setbacks and expenses hey Jared looks like we're gonna be a
01:38little light today it's not good and after an all-out logging push Jared emerged as the comeback king
01:48yeah buddy and the master of his own destiny my time to grow the company the way I want it nobody's holding
01:57me back now Jared and his crew doubled down on an even bigger gamble a forever claims just came
02:10available and we're going after it to carve a logging legacy from virgin territory that's a big rock and
02:19grow the business he built from scratch at any cost this might be the end I have no realm of not taking
02:29risks make it or don't no matter how stupid and up things are I just never give up my goal right now
02:35is to change the game for Cypress Creek logging failure is not an option
02:41not a bad day for flying see all that bigger timber that is the destination
03:06future it's early spring in the rugged timberlands of the Pacific Northwest and all along the coast
03:13logging season is in full swing look at this it's not cut Jared Douglas owner of Cypress Creek logging is
03:23on course for one final scout of a virgin timber claim an opportunity that could grow his business like
03:29never before I am putting myself this season in a very risky position through the thick and the thin
03:36this year is all about expansion they call it the forever clay
03:5125 square miles of uncut territory filled with some of the most coveted trees on earth timber giants at
04:03the end of their life cycle and worth tens of thousands apiece so many of them they're just
04:10everywhere it's insane my god look at the size of that tree look at the timber look at the value but it's
04:19not just the trees that make the forever claim a loggers promised land it's the logging rights that come
04:27with it unlike most timber leases which span only a few months at a time this lasts a lifetime
04:35we would have the right to harvest that timber as long as our business stays in business this is the holy
04:45grail when you own that claim do you have the most secure business plan in logging you can leverage
04:57everything for expansion it's a big deal but the deal is far from done the forever claim is up for blind
05:07auction for the next 10 days open to any company using his own cash and a line of credit jared placed an
05:15aggressive 1 million dollar bid but he's still 200 000 short he has 10 more days to raise it risk defaulting on his bid
05:25this is a logger's dream and i need to capture it i need to buckle down take every cent and i mean
05:36every cent that i can to show up with cold hard cash
05:41since buying out his business partner jared and his float camp crew have been hauling and splashing
05:53timber at a fever rate all in the muachat much lot territory of first nations chief jerry jack i really
06:01appreciate the opportunity working together but with that lease due to expire in a couple months
06:10failure to fund the bid losing the forever claim would put his logging season in major jeopardy
06:23uh so the barge arrives the day before the bidding period so we have less than two weeks to get an
06:36extra two hundred thousand dollars worth of profit on that barge so this is where we're gonna make it
06:41happen right here it's full of big wood big firs big cedars and the only reason it's still there is
06:49because it's such a pain in the ass to reach we got to get this wood on the barge dude to log two
06:57hundred thousand dollars worth of timber profits in ten days jared's plan is ambitious fallers jim and
07:04rob will hunt for big untouched trees in the remote mountains of float camp to access those logs and get
07:11them back down to the water ross must clear a 20 mile road for the haulers meanwhile jared and adrian
07:17will try and resurrect a grapple yarder critical for the success of the all-out effort let's get to work
07:3120 miles away from float camp fallers jim gardner and rob winger close in on the remote mountainous
07:38pocket of money trees identified by jared that's a long ways to their mission is urgent days bleed
07:47dollars quickly in logging operations so in order to successfully secure the company's bid big timber
07:55must be cut transported and barged faster than jared has before
08:05we're flying out here yeah unless you want to walk no i don't my name is jimmy gardner i'm a hand
08:11follower i've been logging since i was 18 years old i started lowly on the chokers i was on the skyline
08:20i moved up and worked on ambulance grapple yarders i was 40. i needed a challenge i found falling
08:28it's got the conflict everything about the conflict i love man versus self man versus nature everything
08:34about this job is challenge and you overcome challenge every day and that's what i love that's
08:39what i enjoy this one's not bad hello anybody home somebody little was living in there
08:55i don't think i'd fit yeah this one's a beauty numero uno yeah
09:00when we're testing a tree we do what's called boring it you're sticking your saw in and you're
09:17cutting until all the good wood gives
09:22ah it doesn't sound very good this thing is rotten
09:25ah after six eight inches this tree dove right in because there's no more holding wood it's all
09:32just rotten inside so all we have is a thin little shell all the way around this tree if we even start
09:39the undercut this could barber chair of the many dangers fallers face barber chairs are among the
09:46deadliest and they happen when unstable bases like this one split up the middle and kick back with
09:53bone crushing force so much that if a faller is within striking distance the results are almost always
10:02fatal that's deadly hopefully you can cut quick enough because it's just a shell by the looks of it
10:11oh what do we got good for this tree there's a nice saw log in the middle of it
10:24to keep this barber chair tree from kicking back while preserving the more valuable wood further up
10:29the trunk jim will have to work fast first he'll make his undercut in the weakest part of the trunk
10:35hoping the healthier wood or holding wood will keep the tree upright then he'll make his back cut as
10:42quickly as possible and pray it comes down clean before it has a chance to kick back
10:47i got faith in you don't roll your eyes at me let's do it yeah buddy here we go make us some noise okay
10:58we got a big job ahead of us it's going to be a lot of cutting it's going to be a challenge
11:14for this tree we'll do our best to control the direction but time's going to tell what it's going
11:19to want to do it's going to do its own thing regardless there's a possibility that i'm going
11:27to be cutting and this thing's going to commit when i'm cutting this could flip off the stub this
11:32could do anything it's literally anybody's guess
11:49oh
12:11holy
12:13Woo!
12:14That was intense.
12:25When I said it's going, the whole root started pulling out of there.
12:29It just pulled right out of the ground.
12:31Yeah, that kind of scared the crap out of me there.
12:34Did it?
12:35Yeah.
12:36Big time.
12:39You fall a tree and there's always some sort of breakage with that tree.
12:43Our job is to get the most value and volume out of every tree.
12:48This thing was pretty rotten, but it stayed up really well.
12:51Back piece stayed one piece, it didn't barber chair and dangle above my head.
12:54That's probably the best case scenario.
12:57Project accomplished.
12:59Really great job.
13:01Nicely done, Jim.
13:04Thanks, Rob.
13:05Safe and sound and down.
13:07Good to go.
13:08Three days later, while fallers continue to hunt and stack money trees in the high country,
13:2510 miles below, Foreman Ross Davis plows a road packed with winter landslides.
13:33Sometimes Mother Nature puts up a fight.
13:39It's been 36 hours of grueling uphill battle, but Ross now faces the heaviest stretch yet.
13:48Jared wants to get some wood in the water immediately.
13:50The trees don't hit the water, nobody gets paid.
13:53So getting this road opened up is crucial.
13:57Get some logs to the beach and make some money.
14:00My job title is Woods Foreman.
14:02I'll take care of a lot of the day-to-day, put out fires, pick up the slack.
14:07Just keeping the operation going.
14:09Sometimes it's loading some logs or clearing a road like this, doing whatever I have to do for Jared.
14:15Well, that'll work, I think.
14:1735 years in the business, there's still so much I don't know.
14:23Started at the bottom, bundling logs at 15 years old, and now I'm a foreman.
14:28I've been doing this for almost 10, 12 years, so now I'm wondering what the next step is for me.
14:34Looks like we kind of had a fresh slide up here.
14:48We'll sometimes see the winter.
14:50I mean, there's some big rocks here, big holes in the road.
14:58Yeah, this isn't just going to be a one-pass kind of fix, so, yeah, this is, uh, like that's a, that's a big f***ing rock.
15:12This is a setback, no doubt about it.
15:16Further down the mountain.
15:20Look at this old diamond in the rough.
15:37Jared and bush mechanic Adrian Bailey inspect his oldest grapple yarder to pull it out of retirement.
15:45Oh boy, all right, what are we in for?
15:47Let's go take a look.
15:49Just one of these machines can haul five truckloads worth of timber off the hillside per day.
15:54And Jared's going to need every machine he's got to fill the next log barge.
15:59But this one has been sitting idle for years.
16:03This old yarder, it has a, uh, reputation.
16:08Seems to have a mind of its own, so I'm a little concerned.
16:12It's, uh, pretty imperative right now to get this thing operational and head up the hill.
16:16ASAP.
16:17Think that's good?
16:19Yeah.
16:21I got Adrian, one of my best mechanics here with me today.
16:25They call me the Iron Doctor.
16:28He's proved himself time and time again getting this old iron running.
16:31The salvage slayer.
16:33We'll be bang bang out of here, no problem.
16:37Oh, holy , man, you okay?
16:41I just crossed the connections, sorry.
16:43We're good.
16:45You're lucky those Goldilocks didn't catch on fire.
16:48That was close.
16:49All right, all right, no more sparky sparky.
16:51Working for Jared is challenging, it's fun, it's exciting, it's a lot of hard work.
16:58It's also just wild, crazy, smash it, trash it, eat it, burn it, shoot it, rock it, try again, let's go.
17:04Because it's a lot of steep ground.
17:06Oh, no!
17:08Watch out, watch out!
17:10What?
17:12It's usually rugged, dirty, band-aids, zip ties, crossing wires, weldy, weldy, quick and dirty.
17:20There ain't no warranty in the bush.
17:22That's rock and roll, man.
17:24Tell me when.
17:26Anytime.
17:28Giver.
17:42She's alive!
17:47Just like that.
17:49Dude.
17:51Woo-hoo!
17:52Make her talk, baby.
17:53Make her sing.
18:01Yeah, these old girls, you're expecting some major problems, but it runs, it runs strong,
18:05it runs good, it's actually amazing.
18:09I'm going to head for the mountain, man.
18:10Hell yeah, sounds good.
18:12Ready when you are, Jared.
18:23Okay, let's try this bad boy out.
18:29So far, so good.
18:42You can tell it to do one thing and it does the other.
18:49What a piece of .
18:58Yeah, go ahead.
19:04Something's going on with this thing, I can't make it, I can't figure it out here.
19:12Definitely ironed in all different groupies.
19:17Okay, here's a wide spot if you want.
19:20There's a couple gremlins in this girl.
19:23Remember what to say, here we're doing come to face in this creators, fail me.
19:32Oh, fire!
19:33Oh, fuck!
19:34Oh, fuck!
19:44Oh, f***!
19:45Oh, f**k.
20:04Hit it.
20:13Woo.
20:14What the f**k, dude?
20:16It smells like electrical to me.
20:18It smells exactly like burning electrical.
20:21Okay.
20:23Why would it do that?
20:25Why is it doing that?
20:27I think the mice?
20:29It could be.
20:31You got these little critters growing in there.
20:33So, you know, they're definitely chewing on wires and stuff like that.
20:37But I do think that it's a good machine.
20:40And a pain in my ass.
20:42These old yarders are the Clydesdale of the industry.
20:47You have to pour the work into them.
20:49You got to pour the love into them.
20:50If you don't give up on them, they won't give up on you.
20:54What do you see in there, bud?
20:56Bunch of melted wires.
20:58Now melted hoses, too.
21:00Is it fixable?
21:01Yeah, I'll replace everything burnt that I see and then we'll kind of have to go from there.
21:07Probably some bush monkey just like me ran these wires and they're not in the main harness.
21:12And this is kind of what happens over time.
21:14But I am also not going to run it in a harness because here we are in the bush again.
21:19Who has the time for that?
21:23Done like dinner.
21:28Go ahead, Honor.
21:29Fire in the hole.
21:30Fire in the hole.
21:39We'll give her another shot and try to get it up the mountain here.
21:45Ready?
21:47Let's try this again.
21:48Alright, here we go.
22:01Get the quarter clerked out of her and she'll be great.
22:08Twelve miles up the road.
22:13Whew.
22:14Look at this mess here.
22:25Yeah, we got a little bit of work to do.
22:26Should be able to push this s*** around.
22:28I guess there's only one way to find out.
22:35You can't get trucks up here.
22:36We can't get a loader up here.
22:37We can't get nothing up here.
22:39We need the wood hitting the water.
22:40So I got to get this thing cleared off immediately.
22:46Yeah, yeah, yeah.
22:47Get some things out of the way.
22:50Jared, he can't stop in one spot.
22:53Jared has to keep going.
22:55He has to keep moving forward.
22:56I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing,
22:58but I think everybody's just got trust in Jared
23:01and in his decisions.
23:03He works hard and he's a smart guy.
23:06Here goes the big dog.
23:09Here goes the big dog.
23:18Oh, f***.
23:21That's big.
23:22That's big.
23:23That's big.
23:36That's big.
23:37That's big.
23:42Back up in the high country.
23:43Looks like there's some nice cedars down here.
23:58Looks like a nice cedar.
24:14Yeah, man.
24:19Got a big split there.
24:21Right down the gut side.
24:22Oh, there's some sound wood in there, though.
24:34It's leaning down and at this fur hard.
24:39Hmm.
24:40This fur is leaning up the hill.
24:48So.
24:53To get rid of the cedar, you got to get rid of the fur.
24:55In order to get rid of the fur, you got to get rid of this cedar first.
24:58So.
25:09Oh.
25:11That doesn't sound right.
25:13There's absolutely no holding wood.
25:15So this is just, as you can see, it's free floating.
25:24The nice cedar, it's got some issues with other trees
25:27in and around it.
25:28So I got a bit of a triple threat going on.
25:31Huh.
25:32Lovely.
25:36How the hell are you going to cut this thing up?
25:39To go that way, with no holding wood?
25:42Well, there's a will, there's a way.
25:51Jim and Rob's plan to tackle this triple threat?
25:54Rob will first put an undercut in the middle tree, followed by another in the one highest up the hill.
26:01Then he'll move down to the most dangerous one and cut just enough to make it weak.
26:07Finally, he'll put his back cut in the middle tree, followed by one more up top to send them all down like dominoes.
26:14Who knows?
26:20Worst case scenario here, Jim, this thing's going to break off with my saw in it.
26:27Bend my bar or flatten my saw.
26:29With you underneath it.
26:31With me underneath it.
26:33So I'm going to start with this fur first, Jim.
26:36Just put the undercut in here.
26:38All right, Paul.
26:39Let's do this, Jimmy.
26:43Sometimes you have to fall multiple trees at once.
26:47It'd be more dangerous to try and wedge these over by themselves or fall them by themselves.
26:52But you never know.
26:54Say a little prayer.
26:58Say a little prayer.
27:08Say a little prayer.
27:10High above float cam.
27:14Rob's got a big job ahead of him.
27:16He's going to get it together.
27:17What do you think?
27:18Yep.
27:19That looks good.
27:21I put an undercut in the middle tree, then I'm going to put an undercut in the top nice cedar.
27:37So I'm going to have to keep my holding wood into here.
27:41I have to put undercuts on my push trees before I can cut that danger tree.
27:51Otherwise, I'll have a cut up tree to my back, which I don't want because it's really dangerous.
27:58It's going to be a bit of a tricky situation.
28:01I'm Rob Winger.
28:02I'm a west coast faller.
28:05I've been doing it for 27 years.
28:08Falling in general is all physics.
28:10You're transferring weight and there's easy ways to do it and hard ways to do it.
28:16And if you use the principles of physics properly, it's going to make your job a lot easier.
28:29Okay.
28:30Yeah, I'll fuel up and then I'll go cut that thing up and then it's concentration time.
28:35Okay, you ready?
28:36Yeah, man.
28:37Okay, eyes up on this one.
28:42Moment of truth, bud.
28:43Ready?
28:44Once there's a cut put into this and this tree is going to be weakened structurally, it's going to be sagging and going with whatever lean the gravity is going to point it to.
28:57Which is definitely up the hill at Rob.
28:58Wouldn't want it to be me to be honest.
28:59I'm glad I'm watching today.
29:03I'm glad I'm watching today.
29:16I'm glad I'm watching today.
29:18Oh, is it sitting back?
29:47It's hard to move.
29:48That's bad news.
29:51This could go prematurely, but now you've got 120 feet of tree chasing you up the hill.
29:58You can't run 120 feet in five seconds.
30:02It's scaring the out of me.
30:11Ten miles down the mountain.
30:23This is turning out to be a little bit harder than expected.
30:29We need a new direction to push from.
30:38We're going to have to clear out around it, and we'll go at our full throttle and see
30:41if we can't get that big nugget out of the way so we can get through.
30:45I'm an operator at heart.
30:48I don't want to do it all the time.
30:49I sat in the cab for a long time, but I love getting on a piece of equipment and doing
30:53whatever I have to do to make the job go better.
30:56We're going to push this sucker right off the road.
31:01I've got to get this.
31:21I've got to get this.
31:29I'm going to fill in this other hole here.
31:48Back in business, man.
31:49I think we can haul some logs out there.
31:52Woo-hoo!
31:54Oh, Jared will be happy.
32:01With the road to the high country now clear, further below.
32:07And here we go.
32:13Jared's moving pretty good.
32:16Jared and Adrian begin the gravel yarders' 20-mile trek up the hill.
32:23Yeah, go ahead, Jared.
32:24We got smoke again.
32:25Yeah, I'm on my way.
32:30Oh, you .
32:31Oh, you .
32:32There's a water truck down the road.
32:33I'm going for it.
32:34I'm going for it.
32:35Oh, man.
32:36I'm going for it.
32:37Oh, man.
32:38This is bad.
32:39I'm going for it.
32:40I'm going for it.
32:41Oh, .
32:45This is bad.
32:46This is bad.
32:47This is bad.
32:52Beautiful cedar wood.
32:59This is incredible.
33:00Truly magnificent.
33:01For Jared Douglas, logging means a deep respect for the land.
33:02For Jared Douglas, logging means a deep respect for the land.
33:09First Nations and loggers are the biggest stewards of the land.
33:10Because we live out there.
33:11I have been working with the mullah ship.
33:12Mushlet, first nations for 15 years.
33:13I've been working with the mullah ship.
33:15Mushlet, first nations for 15 years.
33:18Beautiful cedar wood, this is incredible, truly magnificent.
33:27For Jared Douglas, logging means a deep respect for the land.
33:32First Nations and loggers are the biggest stewards of the land, because we live out there.
33:37I have been working with the Moeshit, Mushlit, First Nations for 15 years.
33:42I'm very proud and I'm very honoured to be able to work in their traditional territories.
33:47You know, we want to make our living, logging the land, and planting three trees for every one we harvest.
33:55We're standing on exactly what happens if we don't harvest these trees.
34:01I'm a hunter, I'm a fisherman too. You think I want to wreck the streams, creeks, and salmon returns? It's not happening.
34:09You know, healthy forests, only we do it responsibly. It's our way of life, it's our right of passage, and it's a great way to be.
34:17Hurry up with that truck, Jared.
34:27In the Pacific Northwest, the grapple yarder critical to Jared's 10-day scramble is ablaze.
34:34If not extinguished quickly, it could set off a catastrophic fire in the tall timber.
34:45If not extinguished quickly, it could set off a catastrophic fire in the tall timber.
35:04Oh my God.
35:05Hey this is a f*** up, dude.
35:08F***.
35:10F***.
35:11Come on, let's get off of it.
35:14Come on, run.
35:16Come on, run.
35:18Hey, this is the up, dude.
35:24Come on.

36:25Hold the hole, Jared.
36:27High up the mountain.
36:37It's starting to move.
36:41It's scaring the out of me.
36:43Jim and Rob have three timber giants almost ready to drop in tandem, but one of them threatens to fall early.
36:53I think I'll back cut the fur and then hit it.
37:03Okay, man.
37:05Okay, man.
37:07Rob's going to do his best to keep all this wood together and falling together so it all cushions and stays whole, but to be perfectly honest, it's anyone's guess.
37:19Okay, so this is your last tree.
37:29That's it.

38:24Holy Jesus there's a mountain of wood oh deadly we're both alive though that's the main thing
38:46very very good look at that freaking fur high grade best one of the bunch was that middle
38:53fir tree and it saved out to 113 feet to the first break and it's all high grade and solid if jim and
39:01rob can keep landing trees at this rate jared will be well on his way to raising the final
39:06two hundred thousand dollars he needs for the forever claim
39:15but with one of his yarders officially down holy man moving all that timber onto a log barge in
39:23less than seven days will be a struggle it's charred earth man like it's toast blew the windows right
39:29out of the windows gone machine gone man that was like a roman candle rubber and wiring once it catches
39:42it was that was insane
39:49in this business we bleed cash i got mechanic trucks and services which cost burning fuel it's cost so
39:58it's very important keep your costs down so you can make more profit that is how a logging company survives
40:07so this loss of this machine is catastrophic right now it's like a man down in the army
40:17when we lose a machine outright it hurts definitely a setback major setback
40:24right now as a boss i up you just have to have it in your heart you have to have it in your guts you
40:37just have to have the grit to get back up after you fall everybody depends on me and i do not want to let
40:44them down i won't quit i'll quit when i'm in a pine box let's get to work next time
40:58there's a brotherhood of logging we want a shot at the uh forever claim we have to get every load we
41:03can get you fight hard for that guy because you know he's fighting hard for you beside him
41:07this is a business that you live breathe and can die for that's what this company is and we're
41:23going to take that to the next level this season on the last woodsman that's a big tree i want the
41:32forever claim not just for me i think this is what heaven looks like but for my crew and their family
41:40holy stand back
41:45i could do this all day every day oh wait i do i don't know if i'm going to be able to pull it off
41:52but failure is not an option i'm going to do everything in my power to make that happen
41:57i'm going to lose my this is the biggest move i've ever done i need to make this happen you got
42:05one shot at this the most stressful the most money i've ever put out that did not go as planned but
