Swamp Loggers is an American reality television series on the Discovery Channel that follows the crew of Goodson's All Terrain Logging as they log the swamps of North Carolina (mostly in Pender County where much of the series is filmed).[1]

Goodson's All Terrain Logging Crew

Show Overview

Some of the running themes of the show include trying to get 100 loads of logs shipped out per week, which gets the crew a bonus about 100 dollars and a BBQ paid for by Bobby and cooked by Dave (75 loads is generally considered the "break even" point where Bobby's expenses are covered), the constant difficulties encountered with bad weather, poor road conditions, and equipment failures, as well as uncertainties concerning lumber buyers, land owners (whose grounds that Goodson's is hired to work on), and saw mills.

Another issue that was featured during several episodes was the emergency gall bladder surgery performed on truck driver "Bo-Bo", the effect on his family and co-workers, and his recovery (he has since returned to Goodson's with a clean bill of health)
