J.M. Browning and Pihl Logging are joined by two new teams of newcomers, Rygaard Logging and S&S Aqua Logging, in a race to see which team can cut down the most timber in the year's most dangerous season.

After just starting the race, men from the groups begin quitting; Jay Browning's big financial gamble shows that it won't pay out; the Aqua Logging crew attempts to reel in what could be a once in a lifetime catch.

R&R Conner Aviation have to make a decision to either keep their workers safe or to amp up production; Jimmy and James battle a deadhead log known as "Moby Dick."

A member of the Rygaard crew fights to save his job; Jimmy heads into minefield laced waters; the pilot from R&R gets trapped in fog.

A helicopter is trapped when a fog rolls over a mountain; Jimmy's barge is threatened to be destroyed; and a crew of a downhill logging site faces challenges.

Jimmy discovers a once-in-a-lifetime log, as the Pihl Logging team is challenged by formidable lumber. Also, the helicopter's team finds their weak link in their operation, the new pilot.

The bosses weigh through some tough decisions concerning the new guys, and one greeenhorn will be released.

The crews receive some new loggers. Then, a search is conducted when a cutter disappears. Also, tempers flare among the aqua loggers.

A new pilot endangers the helicopter when he becomes reckless. Bad weather delays the aqua loggers; and a greenhorn attempts to prove himself.

The crews rush to meet their goals as logging season nears it's end, and one logger is let go.

The season two finale finds a fight erupting within one crew. Elsewhere, Jimmy has trouble with his barge, and a pair of crews are facing disasters.
