AX MEN History Oregon Pacific Northwest timber cuttersOn Sunday, March 9, the History Channel presents AX Men, the first ever non-fiction series about the treacherous life of Pacific Northwest timber cutters.

Ax Men is presented by History and Original Productions, the same team responsible for the Ice Road Truckers, this series looks at the legacy that the pioneers of our country laid for the present and future generations of loggers.

About Ax Men:

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.

Ax Men airs every Sunday, at 10pm ET/PT beginning March 9th on History.
