Right-o here are some vids from the tube.... not from the show. In the show I watched they sent in a team of two loggers who had to find a stand of trees to be cut down. they were marked by the forest service. According to the comentator it is like trying to find a toothpick in a forest of toothpicks. When the two loggers finally found the stand of trees they only had 90 minutes to cut a landing area out of the forest to land their pick-up helicopter in. they had to cut down trees and make a landing pad for the helicopter to land on. Of course it was getting late in the day and fog was rolling in........ If they didn't get it done they would have to stay the night in the forest (British Columbia) with no servival gear.
