Everyone always says they used these videos to fall asleep but im the opposite side. Im an semi truck driver and i drive throughout the night. These videos keep me awake and give me something to focus on. My coworkers say im weird for listening to scary stories while driving down the dark backroads but i love it so thanks Joel.

It's so sad that the foresters in the story had no guns for protection and their pay was reduced not fair. At least they were out there doing their job trying to feed their families. So sad that one guy suffered from the illey loggers. Humans can be so cruel and greedy. Awful just awful.
