I cut BART ,HE WAS A AWESOME PILOT RYAN WAS A GOOD GUY ALSO ,BW
This is amazing! I just started as a harvest inspector with the forest service in SW Washington after about a year of log scaling. I'm looking to either go back to scaling, or get into logging as I've truly grown a new appreciation and respect for loggers and their trade after working around them for a few months now. Helicopter logging seems like the best kind to be involved in by far. Not wure what would be more fun, falling the timber, setting the chockers, chasing, or flying 🤣 Its operations baby! Reminds me a lot of my time in the Navy and the time I got to spend on the flight deck.
Carrier? Which one? Flight deck is a different level than logging. Not butt hurting anyone, but you are a veteran, and I commend you. Loggers are also providing the world with building materials, and I commend you. Just two different levels. I think it would be insane to do either one.
This is sexist. Why is there no black trans lefty feminist representative on this logging team?
well done R/R Conner Ive served with heli crews before its the best logging there is keep going keep going from Central Logging New Zealand
I chased landing for a few years in my 20’s. Bumped knots a bit… My family are all loggers and I was working for my father. It sure was an exciting job. I remember the other chaser and I pulling a log off of the legs of the knot bumper. He was walking on it as he ran his tape and bumped it. He cut a limb that was holding it and it rolled on him. He fell and it rolled right up the backs of both legs. Broke one leg and bent the other foot up and dislocated the ankle. He was hollering like crazy while we picked the log up enough to slide him out from under. Good thing he’d already bucked it or we’d never been able to lift it. He was laughing about it the next day when he showed up in a cast and hobbling on crutches. It was an exiting job that’s for sure.
This is amazing 👍
What happened to Bart?
The only good part of the Drama-Queen Axe-Men show.
No dramatized BS.
Would you guys come clean up some private property by Bozeman?
Stop cutting down the forest! Please. You’re destroying paradise! 😩🤯🤬
You must of missed the whole point of this video series. In order to do that you obviously didn't even pay any attention to the video.
We got a genius here.
contontop videos are better ,and i would rather watch skiders do the pulling
Where are you got hookers and chasers I’m sure glad you don’t have cocksuckers on the crew thank God there’s enough for them back east.
rip Bart.
Worked with Bart years ago for helicrane. RIP BART
I'm from Lolo , loved watch u guys and now it popped up on my phone . Montana proud
Are the hookers like whores ? They go after logs instead of poles.
Helicopter logging started in the 70s . We had real logging air crafts then the Boing 107 Sikorsky 61 both 11thousand lb max turn... kinda...Bell 214 8thousand lb max turn and more if needed kinda as well And the sikorsky 64 a 20 grand Mac at end of cycle and sooner if elevation is not hi. I hooked a lot of time under a 107 ...&214&way to much under the 64&61 and I have a word for the forest ranger and r&r Conner Erickson Air crane Columbia helicopters Siller Brothers Croman corp and a few more companies Anyone of those out fits flew more timber in a year then r&r corner will fly in3yr. They ain't heli logging there heli brush thinning
Wicked to hear Will, were you rigging up in coastal BC by any chance or where ya Oregon Washington area? Have been around alot of different project operations with, S64, 61, Kamov, Kmax, bell 214, 107 and chinook. Completely different operation styles these guys Obviously are not going to be slinging as much wood as Croman, Erickson, VIH or any other major heavy lift company they just simply don’t have the helicopter capacity to fly wood like that, are a small business running 2 Huey’s it looks like, still heli-logging none the less. Different approach to taking wood off the hill and makes sense if they can make a go of er flying small pieces with small helicopters, wood flying is never a bad thing in my eyes.
You're damn right it's not a bad thing I was just teasing. Hey I watch that outfit fly a couple cycles here in Oakridge Oregon That company r&r conner looks like they know how to fly logs

What season of ax men is this?
This was an independent video that Ryan and I produced in 2011. Our goal was to raise awareness of forest health and proper timber management practices.
This is the 3rd part of a 4 part series.
I heli- logged in bc under the 214b this is playing on a hill compared to the conditions and steep grades we hooked on
There’s always SOMEBODY who’s done it bigger,badder,better🤷♂️
classic comment from the mentality of the Northwest coastal region. Of all my years of cutting... no region has more male penis measuring issues than them.
@@richardyork9495 your correct
@@ShaneHerrick you should get counselling for that cutting issue
Good for you.
He was a hell of a pilot.
thats cool but i dont see how you can make any money with old dead pine helicopter logging, i figured you need high grade hardwood
They were turning pretty fast. Not sure how much fuel helicopter uses in a day. Very sure log delimber and log loader use around 70 gallons fuel each per day maybe a little more.
At 9:22 - absolutely incredible the difference. Somehow, years ago, i stumbled upon this video. I've watched it more than once and tell many many many people about it and the importance of proper controlled logging. I live in northern California, literally right next to where our largest recorded fire ever took out over 400,000 acres and also right next to where many other large fires devastated the forests. The Clayton fire, valley fire, sulphur bank fire, the Mendocino complex fire, and many more right next to where i live have caused more damage than imaginable to our forests and even cities. Entire cities, or areas of (Santa Rosa) burnt to ashes. A company like this is an urgent need to our area and would prosper immensely in my opinion. Gosh, how I'd love to be a part of such an important structured operation. Guess I'll keep on just dreaming though, i don't see it happening, as much as I'd love for it to.
Very cool!
I was a Canadian Aircrane hooker ! Big coastal wood , water drops road landings whatever ! Fun and exciting job !
Massive guys I was a bushman in New Zealand until osh got involved with Harvard university from America who owns the biggest Forest cutting Right s in New Zealand made to many rules taken the fun out of logging in New Zealand
They call themselves progressive but they are actually democrats.
I dropped timber in the Swan Valley for a spell back in the day, am very glad to see you guys put a bunch of otherwise wasted board feet to good use. I've really hated to see our Montana logging legacy and economy dribble to nearly nothing because of poor thinking on both sides of the table. We have an important renewable resource here, and should use it wisely - there's absolutely no logic in thinking we can't have sustainable logging practices along with good stewardship of our woods and the critters living there. Best of luck to you and your crew!
Poor effort one side of the table namely the government, has left the logging industry and forests in shamble in BC Canada. The environmentlists have infiltrated the governing boards effectively hamstrung the industry. Last year because of inaction by government to clean up our forests and to act promptly when fires start we lost vast tract of manageable forest and numerous homes and structures including the town of Monte Lake and many properties on the west side of Okanagan Lake. Those areas are 60 miles apart. The fire was the White Rock lake fire it covered over 500 square miles It was started by lightning and a local logging wanted to go in and put it out. They were told by the government not to and if they did they would loose they logging tenure for that area. It was public land as most areas are in BC. When the fire blew up 2 weeks later they lost all their timber anyways. It is so frustrating to watch this happen.
Bullshit
bruce W excuse me? How dare you comment on my company and livelihood in such an ignorant way? Grow up, go do a hard days work where your life is at risk and be a productive part of society. Once you've accomplished that, I will give you my time to discuss your opinion of what we do. Oh ya, please take a look around you and see what wood products you rely on daily for survival...I'm guessing most are wood products.
bruce W...I’m curious how you came across this video. With a one word dim witted comment like the one you made makes me think your a coward looking to make a comment that makes you feel relevant. But your not. I grew up with the woods, in a logging family and in the area where this fine business is from. Even went to school with some of the family who owns this company and given the lack of a reply from the owner/co-owner I can be sure of your ignorance. You really oughta turn off your liberal left wing social media notifications that you base your ideology on and do some actual learning and maybe some research, if you can deviate from that and see from the other side of the spectrum, which everyone has to do to be truly informed, you might be enlightened, but I doubt it. You go ahead and enjoy your forestry provided existence while risking nothing to achieve it. Keep your fingers playing games and off the comments section.
how much board feet A day?
Wondering same thing.
Robin, who makes that remote hook?
Nice video presentation Sir & Maam.
This is an interesting process. Does this method of logging produce enough profit cover the overhead?
+Eric Brooks Hi, this is Robin Conner. Yes Eric it does, but there are many variables. Primarily the quality of wood and the markets that it sells in, flight distance, experience of pilots and ground crew, etc. Pilots and wood are probably the 2 biggest factors. Thanks for the question!
Have you tried whole tree logging, or is it all cut to length? What about grapples? Have you done commercial thinning? It is good to see that timber removal is happening in these dry douglas fir\pine stands as it restores a more natural ecology.
rarely
Id imagine if it wasn't profitable they wouldn't of have been doing it for over the last 20 years. Unless they hit some bad times im sure by now they own their equipment. I think they have 2 Helis.
nice video!!!
I heard he crashed and died
He did, very sad, I loved watching him on the show.
You will be missed Bart...RIP... Great guy and an Awesome pilot!
I want to wark for your company as timber faller!
I want to wark as timber faller for your company!!!!!!!!!!
holly man im perty sure thats the same bird we used up on the W.A. and Canada border in know one thing for sure Bart is the best never thought i would end up upside down and all around he has brass balls Wayne was awsome too miss that shit.
Nice video, but as far as Robin Conner saying they have "Spearheaded a way the industry goes." ( the helicopter logging industry ) I assume. How have they done that?? I have been watching helicopter logging since 1983 when my Dad was doing it with many companies including NW Helicopters, Silver Bay, CRI, and now Erickson. Its nice to see a small family run outfit making a profit in the industry, but by no means a "Spear Head" or the first.
You forgot Columbia and Carson helicopters I remember Ryan working for Jack Toothman heli logging long before he started logging on his own
Working at the Forsttechnik Institut in Vienna, and this is an interesting video for me.
Thanks so much for this video, my daughter is very curious abot how logging works nad this was very informative!
They got you to watch it. That was the point.
hahaha men calling themselves hookers
This series was beautifully done. Parts 3 and 4 really get down to the nitty gritty... well done.
I praise you and your crews for the outstanding work, Your the future of the industry.
Check out what we do on the west coast of B.C. man. Oh sorry thats in Canada on the west side by the Ocean haha. 4 thousand pounds max let talk in the Double digits like 18 thousand pounds maxi CHINOOK!!!!!!!!!!! Best heli Video in the states mabey. We are better then you up here! were faster, tougher and smarter.. Sorry to bust your bubble but this vvid sux.
Columbia helicopters are better.
Right on brother, you said it... It's time we woke all woke up and took a good look around at what we have and what we've been so willingly wasting... Man, those are some beautiful beams, Keep up the awesome work!
Very informative. I wish I could help.
That was great fun. I worked in the timber industry for 17 yrs. proud of what your doing. Cindy
