Big Timber

Who knew the insane amount of effort it takes to get some nice Cedar!? These dudes are inventive, hard working maniacs!! I really enjoyed this show!

In a time where global warming is known to be affected by the clear cutting of old growth forests it is extremely disappointing that Netflix would promote/create a show glamorizing the industry. Protestors are putting their lives on the line trying to protect the ecosystem you are encouraging people to revel in the old growth destruction.

I enjoyed this series, and would've rated it higher if it wasn't for the awful soundtrack. Do we really need thumping drums and 1980s high school guitar riffs the whole time? And, as other reviewers have mentioned, do we have to suffer the bogus melodrama and false tension throughout the series? These people are loggers, not transplant surgeons or air traffic controllers. The dizzying editing is all over the place. However, I liked the people, and I enjoyed the series. If there is another series, keep the music to a minimum please.

Used to watch bunch of stuff on History. Glad that Netflix is putting out some content like this 👍 Really Enjoyable!

This show is about the Weinstob family and their employees working at a mill on Vancouver Island and we also see other parts of this great island and beautiful nature. What is impressive is how the boss Kevin Weinstob, and also his employees and family tackle everyday challenges with ingenuity and admirable effort to survive in a world of timber industry which favors big industry compared to this small mill.

There is some talk in the reviews about this series glorifying the timber industry and cutting down trees and forests. That is so wrong. Timber industry is actually environmentally friendly. It is way worse to live in concrete and steel housings and forests are reusable industry which we must harvest.

What better way of honoring this tradition by watching this show showing the lives of everyday honest canadian workers making their dough ? I cheer for these people more than big mill industry !

PS ! I have several times seen multiple episodes in a row and season two is now out on Netflix ! Binge-worthy !
