The Woodsmen

Storyline

City -- or even rural -- life isn't for everyone, as evidenced by the men featured in "The Woodsmen" who, as the title suggests, live in the thick forests of the Pacific Northwest. They live their versions of the American dream -- on their own terms, away from the daily grind of a traditional 9-5 job. Even though they enjoy their dreamlike lifestyles, they likely would admit it's not easy to maintain these lifestyles. The guys often have to build their own living quarters in the trees and put their survival skills to use in foraging for meat, which can be hard to find, and vegetation in a landscape that can be harsh and unforgiving. And, of course, they have to do it without the conveniences of modern technology as part of their off-the-grid lifestyles.
