"Yes, We Are Open" Podcast Season 4 Episode 6 -Timber Lounge

May 08, 2023
S4-E6-Timber Lounge

Darren Hudson is an honest-to-goodness real-life lumberjack. He doesn’t just look the part, he comes by it honestly. His family ran a sawmill since 1883, his mother was a competitive logroller, his uncle was a 9-time world champion logroller and Darren himself is a 7-time world champion logroller. 

At the peak of his career, Darren decided to retire from lumberjack sports, looking for a new challenge. In 2012, he opened a lumberjack training camp. In 2016, Darren opened the first licensed indoor axe-throwing facility in the world. Since then, axe-throwing has become a popular recreational activity. 

It's also a highly social activity. So how did Timber Lounge manage during the lockdowns when social activities couldn’t take place? Listen to find out.
