The TV series Big Timber follows Kevin, Sarah, Eric and Jack - logging, salvaging logs and working the family sawmill on Vancouver Island.
Kevin Wenstob says working in the woods, the crew has come across many different animals including bears, cougars and even Sasquatch.
‘I’ve got fuzzy pictures, I’ve seen some big, weird prints in the snow that didn’t look like machine tracks, so I don’t know’, says Wenstob. ‘It’d be possible and there’s a lot of big peaks and a lot of snow that stays all year round, a sasquatch has got to have snow, so perfect climate for him’.
The show is in its’ third season, and the unscripted format has garnered a large following.
Sarah Flemming, a former operating room nurse has been general manager of the company for the last dozen years or so.
