In Louisiana, Shelby and his assistant Bob head out looking for logs on his newly repaired two-ton swamp buggy.  In Central Florida, the Chapman crew goes to battle against the legendary "Gump" log - the biggest challenge of their career.  In Washington, Rygaard fights to stay in the load count race, but their equipment doesn't cooperate.   In Alaska, Joe's forced to take over as Papac's yarder operator.  North of the border in Canada, Triack Resources races to get out as many loads as they can before an upcoming storm threatens to shut down their operation.  And in Wyoming, David Zitterkopf is known as the workhorse, but an illness may have him down for the count.

In Washington, Rygaard's remaining veterans go old school to keep the team on track. Deep in the Bayou, Shelby and Bob discover a valuable sinker cypress, but reeling it in is easier said then done. In the high plains of Wyoming, the Zitterkopf crew tries to tackle a dangerous tangle of logs known as "the teepee of death." In Alaska, the Papac crew takes on "shotgun logging," one of the most dangerous forms of logging in the industry. In Florida, the Dreadknots get on a hot streak, while on the Saint Johns River, the Chapman crew's season could go up in smoke as an engine overheats. In British Columbia, the Triack crew tries to fight through the hottest temperatures of the season.
