    I have read some of these posts and for the life of me can’t figure out what point some of you people want to get across.

    The Discovery Channel did a good job showing the operation as a whole. I think most of the U.S. population knows nothing about mules and that is what maybe made it supposedly “extreme”.

    I agree they did focus on the fallen tree for too long but it almost killed a camera man that wouldn’t get back after being told several times.

    As far as noone wanting to be there? Try going about your everyday job with 4 cameras in your face and 15 crew members running around. Exciting? Yea for about a half hour!

    As for “nobody got killed”. That has nothing to do with taking pride in your work. We were being filmed for a television show and doing our best to stay relaxed in a not so relaxed environment. Maybe it would have helped if we would have been intelligent enough to say something smart.

    I however am smart enough to know that the show was about ratings and people like to see danger. That is something that will never change and us good ol boys will do our best to keep paying the bills.

    THANKS FOR WATCHIN!!!
