We are not leaving you guys. We are gonna keep the videos going for as long as we can.. we are already halfway done with the next episode. We are going stay with you as long as we can. Love all of you!

So sorry to hear this. Unfortunately I think greed is killing our Country

From The first Discovery episode to today, Thank you for showing the world what good God fearing, hard working North Carolina businesses and families look like.

I am a truck driver. I feel your pain when it comes to the price of fuel. You need to be on national television telling your story.

I started in the late 90’s when pine was like gold. I told my dad that I wanted to go to college, and he showed me his check from the pine mill. Back then tree length pine logs was almost $70 per ton and red diesel was 50 cents per gallon. Truck drivers were a dime a dozen ... damn things have changed!

I remember when you said "I will park the trucks if it hits $4 per gallon again." you are a man of your word bobby Goodson! You are a pillar, thank you for allowing all of us into your lives!!

Thanks Bobby for your service in the Logging Industry you are certainly very well liked by friends and any one who has ever been in contact with you at all. I am a Medically disabled firefighter and Logging Equipment operator and Logging truck driver since I was a little kid. I think I was 15 or 16 when I started driving semi to the mill in Cloquet Minnesota. I'm 58 now I had my Stroke at 51 so I can say that I have been in & around the Logging Industry forever too.

Smart move, it will be interesting to see how the mills react to the industry shift. Eventually, they will no longer be in a position of power, and when they start shutting down, it will change the power dynamic.....

You guys are the absolute best, and sadly a sign of whats to come with the country. Love you guys.

I am the wife of a logger. I am also the bookkeeper. We know how hard this must be for you all. We could possibly be next. We’re going through the same thing. We’re a logging family, 4 generations, and the fuel is killing us, and every other aspect of logging ( tires, parts, insurance, taxes, REGULATIONS, etc…) We will be praying for you, and please pray for us. We love you guys !!!

I loved watching Swamp Loggers and was sad when they didn't continue on with another season. It's amazing the hardships you endeared and still got the job done. Good luck on your next adventure...

Thing is its not just in the US its all over the world. Anybody in business is struggling. Loved watching your channel over the last 4 years. Best of luck for your future Bobby .

I always told my wife if I was to ever have to get done on my own, I'd want to work for Bobby Goodson. Just a true down to earth man. So sorry it's come to this for you. Thinking of you and your family and work family.

Sorry to hear this Bobby, I’m a coal miner,and I have mad respect for what you do,, your a good man Bobby this country is in bad shape, and I always loved your show and your KZfaq videos

I saw the show every week when it was on never missed the most impressive thing I got from it is the way Bobby always kept his cool but more important is the respect that you showed your employees that means more to employees that the money your a class act all the way good luck to you sir and your family

I’m sad to hear your getting out of logging. I compleatly understand. No need riding it to the bottom and ending up with nothing. If any of you guys need a job and are willing to move to central PA, we have work. Trucking and farming. Thanks for the videos.

I’ve been logging since I was 18 ... I’m 41 now. Loggers are treated like second class citizens in this country. I’ve said it before, when you see farmers with fancy new equipment and trucks, it’s because of government subsidies. When you see loggers with fancy new equipment and trucks, they are in debt up to their eyeballs!

From a fellow logger in Oregon, I can feel your pain. Our family went through your same situation in the early 2000’s. We had close to 100 employees and had to let them go. Have faith, you will get through. It is painful as I miss my employees the most. Praying for you all.

Bless you. I love your company, but more or less, your team are your family. Keep voicing! God has you, please keep us updated on everyone. ✝️🙏🏼🙌🏼🛐🕊️💝❤️

Hey Bob I have been watching your operation and videos for 10 years. Love you all and your reality in the Logging Operation I live in Canada and I started at 17 and in Northern Canada minus 60 celcius muddy steep mountains etc. It a tough job and dangerous. The Logging in Canada is FINISHED and they have shut down New Sawmills Everywhere across Canada... Still a little Logging but I don't know how but. I'm 61 and took early retirement because of the Logging System in the toilet . Hey Bob I salute you as you and Justin have put your time in and you've made a proper business decision like me. Happy you have survived as long as you did and I know you have medical problems and I do too. In saying this Bob you have made a Ligit Decision from a business insight. Your Logging is much different than ours but I was fascinating with your company and your wife, Justin, and how fantastic you have treated your employees..... Your an Awesome Man Bob... 9 out of 10 of my friends are fascinated with your operation and a fantastic job of explaining everything about how you Log and doing your own repairs. Bob its extremely difficult to operate and work with family members but you succeeded big time. I'm not worried about you, Justin, your Wife or you Bob nor your awesome employees . You work extremely hard, no matter what, repairs to your equipment, and you're operators are awesome and great people. I wish all of you this best... May the good Lord be with you and your family and employees, moving forward. I will pray for each and every one of you. Take care and pass it on.. I will continue to watch your videos Cheers Calgary Alberta Canada 😊❤😊

Thanks for all the kind comments. We are going to keep the videos coming for as long as we can. Maybe a walk through on repairs of the equipment. Again....we love you all.

Wish y’all a happy retirement! Thanks for the years of entertainment. Would be awesome to get a equipment tour when everything is back at home base before the sale

I just found your KZfaq channel, but watched every episode on TV. God bless y’all…..god bless this country. We are in a mess right now.

I loved watching all of your videos your all good people and a wonderful family.Thank you.

It’s been a privilege to have watched you all these years , prayers to you and your family. 🙏

Senator Bobby Goodson has a good ring to it

Just now seeing this. I'm sorry to hear this. I do agree prices going up isn't helping anything. With every administration the prices have increased. It's been absolutely ridiculous. You're all in my thoughts and prayers. Loved the show. Keep your heads up high. God bless.

So sad. I used to follow you guys years ago on the history channel, nice piece of the wild west watched from over here in the UK. You guys are the foundation of pretty much every useful industry in the world, by useful industry I mean people who create things... farmers, loggers, builders, truckers.... not people who charge for nothing, no timber = no construction. Ok bankers don't need timber, neither do politicians, but who the heck are they going to rob when all the useful jobs have gone? I'm said to say I don't pray, I love how you do and that you are brave enough to shout it from the roof top. Subscribed, commented and liked.

Thank you Bobby for all you do and all you have done. This should be eye opening for a lot of people.

I was a farmer until last fall when my ag input supplier informed me round up was going to double in price this spring. I didn't have any clue fuel and fertilizer was going through the roof either. I made the difficult decision to inform my wife I was going to sell all my equipment and quit farming. It may be the only industry to buy retail and sell wholesale. I am not sure what I am going to do moving forward but it was the best stress relieving decision I have ever made. Good luck to the Goodson team. You are not a failure for making a good business decision and not losing your business or sanity.

I work in the trucking industry and totally understand, I hear owners parking or selling their rigs all the time. Ya'll have our prayers thru this.

I can relate to you Bobby, It's hard to keep the business running these days. BUT I want to comment that inspite what I read in a lot of comments, it is definatly not just your governement who is doing this. I'm from the Netherlands and we also have big problems with fuel prices a labor costs, if labor is even available. The entire world is going in a strange spiral where it looks that the only thing that is important is that the big companies make more money. Wish you all the best of luck and pray for you.

Best wishes to you your family and employees. It’s been a joy watching over the years.

Bobby, I will miss you guys and the funny stuff that you show on TV and it will greatly be missed! Thank you for sharing your life's business with the public!

I live in Georgia I have been in business for 41 years and I’m having to close the doors to the price of the insurance maintenance Workmen’s Comp. and fuel we live in a sad country I’ve enjoyed watching your program God bless you and I will be praying for y’all

I've loved watching you Bobby and your family and workers over the years. You'll made me laugh and sometimes I teared up on sad occasions on the show. May God continue to Bless you'll forever more. Sincerely, James J.

We feel your pain, ranching is the same way. A bunch of ranchers will be calling it quits. The packers are killing it but the guys raising the beef are getting hammered. Good Luck to you all!

Bobby - you and your wife and your company have been a rock through the toughest of times. I have followed you since your Discovery Channel series aired. You are all salt of the earth people. Praying things work out for the best.

Thank you very much for all you your family and employees do for the industry Bobby and the gang have been extremely inspirational for many especially this Massachusetts logger well stay strong for you all

Bobby im in the same boat, i own a commercial roofing company and our roofing material is petroleum based. I am closing the doors . We have been in business since 1978. End of a era

Class people! You have all our respect and admiration.

It's a travesty that I'm paying $8 for a 2x4x8 and loggers are losing their shirts.

I was a truck driver several years ago and I still appreciate everything that they do for this country. I'm now disabled but I still have to work some on the side to make ends meet. I built my own sawmill years ago but I'm not always able to get the logs to cut much less be able to cut everything that I could get all by myself. God knows that I wish that I could afford to hire others to help me but like y'all, I'm not able at this point. Much love from Alabama

I get it!!! Got to do what you have to! Hopefully, you can enjoy some really good take it easy years ahead!! Have enjoyed you guys for years. Thanks! From a fellow North Carolinian!

God bless you Mr. Bobby. Both my grandfathers were in the logging business here in Georgia. I brought a road tractor 9 months ago in the hopes of building a small fleet to give my kids a nice life. It has been parked for 4 weeks now.

I have followed Goodsons All Terrain Logging for years. I will always say yall are the best of the best. It's truly sad to hear that things are going the way they are for you all. God Bless You All and Know I Will Continue to keep you all in my thoughts and prayers 🙏 ❤. Much love to you all . It's truly sad what our nation has fallen to. But God will always provide. Do know I have the highest respect for you all. God Bless You Bobby and all your family and employees 🙏.

Bobby , You are the best . Sometimes a Man has to do what He has to do in life . God will see You through these rough times . I hope the best for You and Your Family. God Bless You Sir . Your Friend Dan from North Middle Tennessee

Hi Goodson Family, My prayers are with you all. I have really enjoyed your shows. They remind me so much of the days that I started logging with my Dad in the hills of Kentucky at the age of 12. God Bless you as you seek future endeavors. In Christ’s love🙏✝️ Danny Fisher

Hey guys sorry to here the bad news,Mr Bobby you've been a great inspiration to me and my small swamp logging operation in south west Ga. We will be praying for you and your family and employees that the good lord helps you all through these though times.

Being a cow calf producer I know how it feels to produce a product and have the mill or meat Packers in my case to take in all the gravy and leave you starving.

It would be nice to see a cookout with all the old and new crew members. And maybe have Dave do the cooking. Kind of like a reunion and remembering all the good people.

Bobby, years ago you sent me a hat that I still wear. You're all hard working and honest people. Hoping all the best for you and yours! Stay strong Bobby!

I've watched ya'll since the beginning of your shows on Utube, I got on a tractor at 11 then farmed 22 years after I got out of college. I'm in forestry mulching now and the fuel is killing me too. We have 28 year old oak hardwood that needs first thinning, forester told us it would bring $30 @. I feel your pain. Love ya'll and prayers, ya'll have been a inspiration to me during SOME very hard years starting over at 40! God Bless! Ya'll made the impossible happen in very tough situations!

I’m sorry to hear this Bobby, I’ve had nothing but respect for you and your crew from day one. I am a 4th generation logger and started my own company 4 years ago, and your right, you have to want it. It’s been getting harder every day, I finally had to ask for a fuel surcharge, and still worry every day. Prayers for you and your family and your crew.

I’m a owner operator truck driver state to state mostly bought our truck last year before fuel hike We’re barely hanging on our selves $1200 dollars a fill up is eating us alive sure fuel surcharge went up but then this cheap freight at $2.75 a mile to go to Texas is just a rip off so I won’t haul it It’s becoming very hard to be employed and fuel bill of $2200. A week and we’re just one truck Can’t imagine going through what y’all are feeling big fan of the show wish it would have stayed on longer hope that god will guide you through this difficult time The Jones family will pray for y’all

Keep up the good work. Love your videos on KZfaq and I love watching you guys on TV. Good luck. God bless you guys.

We’re all here to support your situation. If you ever need anything let me know if I can help. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

You gotta do what you gotta do! Its been great watching you all these years, hope all stays well & I look forward to watching in the future. God Bless!!!!! Also, CONGRATS on 100 K!!

What a legacy. Bobby you are a legend. Even through all the negativity you keep it positive. Need more family’s like yours in a corrupt world.

YOU GUYS ARE AND WILL BE MISSED. IF I WAS IN NC DURING YOUR BUSINESS UP AND ROLLIN I'D BEEN GLAD TO WORK WITH YOU MR. B. I'VE BEEN IN THE WOODS SINCE 7 YRS OLD, AND WORKED THEM ALL MY LIFE. LEFT THE WOODS AND BECAME AND OTR DRIVER FOR 20YRS. I MISS THE WOODS, BUT I SEEN THE HAND WRITING ON THE WALL. I AGREE MR. B POLITICS HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH IT. GOD BLESS AND LUV YOU GUYS 🙏🏾

Been here since the very first episode on discovery. The lord will prevail!! As a business owner my self I felt the pain yall are feeling just 2 short months ago. Started my own at 16 and I'm 28 now and permanently shut down due to rising costs in material and fuel being the number one issue! May God bless you Bobby , Justin and Lori!!

God is in control Bobby. Keep your faith hard times don't last always. I've watched your show since the beginning. Hold on to all your equipment things are going to turn in your favor. "JESUS Take the wheel"

I have been here since day one on Facebook and KZfaq.. I enjoyed when letsdig18 and cotton top 3 made special visits to your job sites

Thank you for sharing this announcement. All across the country we are feeling the same pressure you are experiencing. As you point out, mills, timber companies and investors are pocketing record profits, while we as contractors are facing record increases in everything except our rates. If we do not stand together and force the rates to increase to an equitable level I am afraid that logging as we have known it will disappear. All the best to you and your family and employees. I can appreciate what a difficult decision this has been.

Quitting while you're ahead, is not the same as quitting. Sadly it's all but over for the little guys. I wish y'all the best in all of your future endeavors

Thank you guys for sharing your lives , struggles and successes with us. Always fans , The Barnes family from Marion,va

I loved your tv show. Still watch reruns. I just found you on U tube today. Will keep watching. Your in my prayers. My father was a cement finisher and big equipment driver. They were disrespected as well. I’m 72 years old and I know how people felt about being blue collar. May God bless you.

Been watching for years. We all gonna hang together. So sad to what it's all coming to. I'm a diesel mechanic and I've seen impacts it's having. Waiting on parts or even less and less trucks coming in for service. Me and my 2 year old son love watching the videos he loves talking about all the tractors. God bless

Bobby, you’d make a great field rep for Tigercat. You know the equipment and the industry. Best of luck to you and your employees during this time. Are you going to do videos of the equipment repair?

Hang on bobby . I'm a Canadian lumber hauler that hauls studs into Michigan out of Quebec Canada. There is literally no trucks left . The mills are fighting over us. We are charging 72 percent fuel surcharge or telling the mills to haul your loads with your computers .

When one door closes another will open. You guys are ahead of the game and going out on your own terms ahead is a heck of a lot better than going out flat broke.Smart decision. Wish you and your family the best.

I've learned so much, just from watching your show. You are a very stand up type of guy. You definitely set the bar for your employees. You were always in the trenches with your guys. God bless you and your family.

Bobby you are a good man, I’d stand with you till the lights go out. I’m praying for you and will not stop. You are loved by many. Keep your head up you are a class act and you will persevere.

Understand fully what you facing,went through it in 2008,and 2009. Finally got out of the logging business. Mills are way behind on what they pay for timber products. Praying for you and your family. I have always appreciated your values and your Christan faith may God bless you and your family.

a grain farmer from Ohio. I retired at 64 because of low prices of grain. Fertilizer and fuel are raising fuel food prices. God Bless you all.

Prayers for you and your family!! Thank you for allowing us to be apart of your lives. Wishing you all the best!!

Thank you for your channel and your voice. Until I owned my own businesses I didn’t pay too much attention to politics. Once you own your own business you realize how much the federal government stifles growth and ingenuity through unneeded regulation and pandering to special interest.

I watched my uncles make the same decision 3 years ago. It broke my heart but seeing things have only gotten worse I understand. Logging in my family went back to my great grandfather. The politicians in this country do not want loggers around anymore!

Glad you can get out without losing everything looking forward to seeing your next adventure.

You guys were the best and so sorry to see ya go! Keep up your faith and strength!!

Wow, It is so sad to hear that Goodson's Logging is closing it's doors. I wish all the best to the Goodson family and their hardworking crew in what ever they do next. 😥

Goodson family, I will continue to follow anything you guys put on you tube. I will miss being able to throw out the 'Bobby Goodson' name when commenting on other logger channels. When other loggers complained about the wet/muddy conditions, I would comment saying, you want me to get Bobby Goodson to come get that wood. May God Bless!

Always have enjoyed watching Swamp Loggers. Best of luck to you all and thanks for sharing quality television with us.

Thank you for sharing your story s with us from Maine gave up self employment this year myself God bless

So sorry to hear this news. In Scotland diesel is currently the equivalent of $11.00/gallon up from equivalent $7.00. I run a gardening and groundcare business and I'm seriously considering my options as well 😪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Stay strong folks

God bless y’all! I started in the woods when I was 12 years old, I’m now 43 and have left the woods. I tried it on my own back in 05’ then 08’ fuel prices hit I know your pain. It’s so sad what logging rates are compared to price increases today. Hold your head up high and know you’ve given it your all! Put it in the Lords hands and pray!

My hat is off to you all …. I had a land clearing business.. 3 excavators 2 dozers and a dump truck , the expense of fuel and upkeep is unreal !!! I said to myself several times while watching you guys in action ….That Goodson all-terrain sure has a lot of equipment and to keep going and a massive overhead of expenses… I am so glad I sold everything, Bobby , you and your wife and your crew will be ok , sell it all and you will be happier … good luck to you all

Every time a company is shut down the results are far reaching. As long as this administration keeps running as they have the country is going to the dogs. Hard working people, are footing the bill for foolish spending, and losing their lively hood at the same time. Bobby should hold his head high, as he has taken care of several other families for a long time. Bobby has given them a place and reason to work and grow with him and his family. Best of luck and God Bless everyone.

My Dad struggled for years trying to stay afloat just like you guys and gave it up 10 yrs ago. Good luck and hope it all works out…👍

Bobby Goodson. You and your family will be missed. Your show was a favorite from day one. Thank you for your hard work and your great attitude about the industry. God bless you, your family and this country.

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. I shut the doors last month on a retail company I started from ground zero 25 years ago. Different industry than yours but as you said, "it don't even work out on paper anymore". This economy is fixing to get ugly but y'all hang in there. God has shown himself faithful to all of us.

Your a good family thx for your videos they blessed me so much

I've watched your show for years and loved it I hope the future brings you something good I miss the quota barbecues used to throw for your employees those were fantastic God bless your family

Tough times.. unprecedented, tough times.. as a Canadian, in the maritimes, who earns a good piece of my yearly, in the woods, I always enjoyed your show, admired your way of doing things , and marvelled at, how similar and relatable, you’re story has been to many of us here. Well done Sir.

I truly wish there were more good hardworking people like you, you're family and crew. This country needs it.

I have oil leases and we just got a letter in my mail box that says they have been ordered to stop activity until further notice by the government, lol thanks BigAl California

I’m saddened to see your getting out. I get it for sure. I’ve been following y’all since the 1st episode of the original show. I’ve parked my truck due to fuel costs. So I understand. Thoughts and prayers for y’all.

I’ve been sharing your channel far and wide since u first got going on KZfaq. Congrats we love you folks peace be with your families and God bless the whole crew .

Watching you guys reminds me of my dad he was a lover and loved the woods. He lost his life in the woods.

I wore my Bobby Goodson logging hat to work today. I have had this hat for years. I better take care of it !!!
