Why We Rated This for Ages 11 and Up

The good stuff

• Messages:

  The show emphasizes teamwork and how even one breakdown in the process affects not only the people involved in that task but everyone in the entire operation. Loggers use good-natured teasing and competition to spur each other on, but no one seems out to "beat" the others.
• Role models:

  The loggers are hardworking men in a tough industry, but they mostly behave well, focusing on doing their jobs safely and appropriately. That said, the show is very male dominated (no women to be seen).

What to watch out for

• Violence:

  There's some roughhousing among the loggers, mostly wrestling-style. Though the work is clearly dangerous, the narration doesn't beat you over the head with reminders about that.
• Sex:

  Not an issue.
• Language:

  These are loggers -- you have to figure that their language gets pretty salty. But the bleeps are kept to a minimum, and the words they're blocking out aren't necessarily immediately obvious. Words like "piss" aren't edited out.
• Consumerism:

  Not an issue.
• Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

  Potential for social drinking and/or references to alcohol.
