    I love the show. Those have to be some of the toughest guys working. Arctic cold, crazy hours and hard work, not to mention the seasick. My hats off to those guys.

    I have seen every eppisode up to the new season, which I cannot see because they are showing old ones on AFN. It is one of my favorite shows.

    I'm just glad I didn't know about it when I was in my 20's or I might have been stupid enough to have gone up there just to see if I was tough enough.

    Interesting....I have had the same thoughts many times while watching the show. In my more delerious moments, I have wondered if I could do it today.
    There is no wrong way to do the right thing.

    Its a crazy show, and there was a new guy a few weeks ago who wanted to jump overboard! and told the other guys on the ship to tell the coastgaurd were he was, crazy fool.
    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

    Theres no way I could do it today. 20+ years of construction and to many injuries. No way not any more.
