"I was impressed with the project. They are meticulous. When you see what goes into 10 minutes of footage, you are talking about Monday at 7 a.m. until Friday at dark. It is unbelievable the amount of work that goes into the footage,” he said.

The show explores the lives of men who live off the land, Benoit is joined on the show by his close friend Ward Martin.

"I’ve known Ward since we were kids,” Benoit said. “He’s from Taft and he was raised out on the river with me. We partnered up on every episode.  People are going to love him because he is hilarious.”
