Heli-loggers are deep into their winter season on Vancouver Island; rain and fog threaten to strand two fallers on the hill; a crew races to get the wood out before the spring thaw turns the block road to mush.

As a crew races to prep logs for a new heavy lift helicopter, a substitute pilot is tested on postage-stamp sized helipads; another logging crew moves their 40-year-old yarder onto a new block, but a series of mechanical issues set them back.

The Duz Cho Logging crew has only days to finish their winter block before the spring thaw destroys the road. During the chaos, a giant sinkhole shuts down production. Meanwhile, Integrated Operations is rushing to find enough salvage wood to keep their jet-powered heavy- lift helicopter busy and affordable. Inland, the Peters Contract Logging crew has a recurring loader problem that forces them to roll the dice with a band-aid bush fix.

Summer is in full effect, and that means Integrated Operations is moving into the final phase of their project: loading four million dollars worth of timber onto a giant floating barge. Down south, the clock is ticking for Peters Contract Logging as they continue to deal with their troublesome loader and a raging nearby wildfire.

With the entire country experiencing the worst wildfire season in history, the Duz Cho Logging crew races to place a critical bridge on the block. After two months off, Freya Logging moves into their summer block under the threat of a wildfire shutdown. Setting up their high-tech fleet is marred by some unwelcomed ghosts in the machinery.
