The first ever non-fiction series about the treacherous life of Pacific Northwest timber cutters, Ax Men is on History every Sunday at 10pm ET/PT beginning March 9th. 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.

Two BC Goodie Bag readers have a chance to win an Ax Men Lumber Pack featuring: A polycanvas waist pack that includes a Crossing 7-in-1 Survival Tool with thermometer with Fahrenheit and Celsius readings, polarized compass, whistle, L.E.D. light, mirror, magnifying glass, 18.5″ lanyard and a 22 oz. aluminum water bottle. Plus, you will receive an Ax Men Puzzle Box, History Journal and History iPod Speaker Case.
