Parents need to know that this reality show is about a rough-and-tumble job that attracts rough-and-tumble men who are proud of their "extreme" job. They trash-talk each other, swear up a storm (the strongest words are bleeped), and one even bares his backside -- it's blurred, but it's still obviously a naked bottom. There's also some social drinking, and the job itself always has the potential for danger.
Positive messages:The loggers' specialized job exists as a way to harvest lumber in a way that does less damage to the environment than traditional logging. Gender roles are reinforced -- the men go out to work, and the women stay home with the kids. A lot of (good-natured) trash talking goes on.
Violence:Lots of talk about the job's dangerous nature; in at least one scene, a logger is shown with his scalp stitched up after an accident.
Sex:In at least one scene, a logger bares his backside -- but the image is blurred for broadcast.
Language:Audible lanugage includes words like "ass" and "nipples"; also lots of bleeped language -- and a few times it's pretty obvious that someone said "f--k." Much of the swearing happens during very frustrating cirumstances (such as when a logger is climbing a tree and his rope keeps getting stuck).
