Rygaard Logging

Rygaard Logging

Based in Port Angeles, Washington, Rygaard Logging is a family business led by father Craig and son Gabe—logging is in their blood. These are hard-working "salt-of-the-earth" men, risking everything they have to get the job done. As Rygaard moves onto a downhill logging site--the most dangerous of all logging operations--gravity works against them on every turn. This is brutal work and one of the quickest ways for a logger to go broke or get hurt. Adding to the liability is greenhorn Brad Hewitt, who is stepping onto the mountain for the first time.
