A Frayed Knot (S07E08)

The Rygaard family returns to the mountain, ready for action, but their momentum faces a challenge when the new yarder team, Oakes Logging, arrives and confronts Gabe directly for the "King of the Mountain" title. In the swamp, Shelby and Mike creatively utilize their skills to extract a rare heart-pine log. Meanwhile, in Alaska, the Papac team is short a yarder engineer, forcing them to appoint the reckless Joe as the new operator to keep pace in the competition. In Florida, Erin, the newest diver for the Dreadknots, begins to master river logging, but Kraken's jealousy over losing his position creates tension with Captain Clint. Additionally, the Chapman team takes action against a suspected log poacher.
