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.
