I've never seen anything as great as that helicopter view flying to the landing. It's spectacular. Thanks for another excellent video. EDIT: Also, the scale of the job is amazing as you showed on those logs compared to you being there.
That’s hella beautiful spot. Everything about this vid was gorgeous. From the Helicopter to the tuck and roll over the log to the float plane showing us how it done. Good job.
I dont understand why anyone would thumbs down you sir. I've been in some compromised positions, but none like that. That last buck looked crazy. Thanks for sharing guys. Keep safe folks.
Checked your channel, you seem like a saw expert on the older saws? Have you seen buckin billy ray’s channel? He runs older saws too , big McCullough fan
@@BjarneButler oh jeez I'm far from an expert on anything but Thank-you!! I absolutely have seen buckin billy ray, he's great! I also love a mcculloch saw but pioneer holds a special foothold in my heart since they were made locally! Cheers man!!
How long before the timber is extracted and more to the point how on earth do they get timber that size of mountains like that I would love to see the whole process ie from when you are first dropped in to make the extraction point to where and how it's down to the transport stage because some of the last logs you have cut have to be close to one log loads Regards Graham
At 19 years old I was a choker setter for a helicopter logging company in the Pacific Northwest. My older brother was a faller for the same outfit. I worked with the company for a year and decided that I wanted to have a job outside of the woods. Thanks for showing the public how amazing these jobs are.
Love your videos man. You work in God's country for sure. I do some tree work in North Carolina at the coast and it get brutally humid here when it warms up probably just like it gets cold there. You guys work hard and I have a ton of respect for you all! Stay safe and enjoy the views!
G'day BB, first time I've seen you I thought it was a big production vid ! Not one logger with a camera. Very entertaining lovely sceanery highly skilled workers living on the edge.l think you may have nicked the bladder on that last one 👍🇦🇺.
Nice spot sure is thick bush looks like you will have to pick it apart tree by tree .Bjarne what inlet are you working in now it is sure a nice spot. Time to run away and live to fall a tree another day well keep your head up and work safe. I will be looking forward to the next video.
Ya it’s fun when you have to stop and strategize how to best fall the wood. It’s boring when it’s too easy. Not at liberty to say where I am but it is a long way from the nearest town.
@@BjarneButler It looks like you should get some real good videos when you start picking some of them messes apart and there is some big wood there to I do enjoy seeing the big ones come down well keep putting out them great videos and be safe.
It can tricky cutting that bigger narlly trees.I was a falling a huge cedar that was center rot. It barber chaired up 40 feet then That teeterd before coming down.Got a flash back when you scrambled after you fell that split one.
That is such beautiful scenery to work in,just beautiful. That tree you cut down seemed to be pretty solid, how many board ft. will one tree that size run?
Now that is a daily commute I could make every freakin day Buddy....and the lake as smooth as a sheet of glass. Glad them Cedars didnt get all weird and get you. We got into a BIG patch of really old Ponderosa this last week and the smallest is like 38" across the stump. 90% of the trees have their roots eat off or weekend by The Big Black Carpenter Ants so it's a tangled up mess but well worth our time to get them rather than let them rot or become huge Ant Colonies...so far we have not found any where the Ants have got higher than the stump so were getting 60, 80 and some 100' really straight nice logs to buck up. Our Son is working on clearing a road into the middle of them so we can winch out and skid them. Fun for all
I’ve had my Phanner’s for a couple years now. They’re the summer ones but they don’t vent as well as the cheap ones. I like the pockets and that they stretch in the crotch, it allows my to make big steps when working is steep ground
@@BjarneButler cought mine on barbed wire crossin doing powerline row....man I was pissed..I’d love to come work with fellers like yourself with that much experience in big wood..I been usin my 880 on a solid 40” beech and couldn’t imagine fallin the big cedars with it..thanks bjarne..Matt in ky
Stunningly beautiful area - I worked up Indian Arm BC years ago building HUGE timber rafts/docks directly on the water - takes balls of steel to work with huge lumber - you feel like a tiny ant - truly another world all together ! I find it hard to make really sense of this expensive logging operation - seems to be cutting down a bunch of majestic trees - some pretty rotten - - not sure how much of the fallen trees are later flown out - all seem to explode on impact leaving only a few good salvageable pieces from each tree.... I guess that`s all it takes to make it profitable - kinda a shame. Could you later expand on what gets flown out and what gets to stay behind - thanks man
some nice wood there ....pretty damn steep...nice job . i guess everyone is chasing cedar right now . Crazy prices . Central coast or lower ? Keep safe and adrenaline flowing , and thanks for sharing.
Bjarne Thats makes sense-didnt really think about that. Love your videos! I fell a Massive 35 ft tall Live Oak here a few days ago-limbs akimbo and rotten heartwood makes it tricky. Cheers to ya!
My choices when cutting timber are usually "Do I fall it to the left or to the right." NEVER, EVER, do I have to figure out how to straddle a downed tree so I don't fall 35' down a slope! Damn! Those are some dandy trees, Bjarne. Whipple
@@BjarneButler I would have loved getting into timber like that when I was younger. These days I’ll leave the cutting to you young bucks! Stay healthy, be safe and always aware! Cheers, Bjarne! Whipple
wooow, what a view!!! Mate, i have soo many questions... how do you collect the timber from the hills? i suspect: drop in tho the river? but how?! Awesome job, the old trees dies and open space to grow new trees, cause, enormous trees is like more shadow and less new trees. Hugs from Brazil o/
is this public or privately owned land? and either way, are the areas you cut regulated by the gov at all? those are some amazing old growth trees going down. super dangerous work though - on slopes like that. how far is the nearest hospital?
So much I'd like to say, but let's just go with, "Fucking Awesome!" Your cuts were far better than most professionals could have done. That dip on the second cut of the last tree...I saw that coming, probably because I could see myself affected by gravity and terrain in much the same way. You did hack out he flaw pretty nicely with the axe. Once again, I am very impressed with your skills. Oh, the footage of the flight in was absolutely Epic, as well! Really set the scene for viewers' understanding what kind of landscape you're working in. As an old fart, I gotta insert a cautionary statement; Stop Getting Below the Logs! They can do the most unexpected shit, that you maybe would not believe! And yes, without the customary warning cracks or groans. Shift can be almost instantaneous. Even if you're working along side of them, you've got stay Above! Anywhere above, you can most likely only be tossed. Fall Gracefully! Anywhere below, You Can Be Squished! Miserable way to go. Okay, so I couldn't just leave it at, "Fucking Awesome!"
Right on thanks for watching. Sometimes the log is too big for the bar so I gotta cut the low side(where the bar can’t each from the high side) first the finish the cut from the high side. It definitely a judgment call on every cut you do if it’s safe enough to do. If it’s not bucked all the way though then the chopper can’t lift it. If it’s too dangerous to buck then the chopper can lift one end of the log and reposition it so it’s safer
All the extra work you do to get us these videos is much appreciated, the scenery is breath taking!
Thanks ya I sure get to see some cool stuff out here

Nice to see your partner on the block this time instead of just hearing his saw in the background! Stay safe guys! Thank you for the videos good sir!
Ya we were doubled up on a couple trees there. I don’t like to show too much unless I have permission

Great work as always, Bjarne, and again, thanks for making the effort to film it for us! Some serious hazards for sure.....work safe!
Amazing video! Thanks! Really nice to see the morning flight! And amazing weather!
ALL your video's are awesome, this one no exception. Simply thank you for building these and sharing :)
Thanks for watching
Wow that water is so calm and an amazing view from the bird

Hi from Canada
Love the commute to work
Great filming my friend your content is supreme!
Thank you
I would be worthless at this camp! All I would be doing is fishing for halibut and rock cod. Keep the videos coming.
Keep safe my friends.
Wow, what an awesome commute to work Bjarne.
The enthusiasim and skill you have for your job is amazing
all the best from Scotland
Crazy job man. Be safe. I am a tree climber in Spain but your job is just another world. Thanks for the vids🙌🙌
Hello tree climbing dude from Spain thanks for watching
@@BjarneButler 😂😂my name is Guillermo - - means William. You are very welcome 👍👍
Great video very big timber cool 😎👌
Man! That was some excellent footage of the ride in. That was awesome when the helicopter dove off the landing towards the water! So cool!!!
Ya he was definitely showing of haha

That log at the end is worth a million bucks in today’s lumber prices. Great video Bjarne 👍
Thats a nice trey. Well done
Gymnastics in the woods and a practiced pull-up to the dock. Impressive stuff all round!
Great video as always. What amazing views you get to see! Stay safe and run them hard!
It’s a cold morning over here in Scotland,getting a bit jealous of that sunshine you have over there,excellent video as usual bud.
What a view on the ride to work. Got to love days that nice on timber like that.
Ya can’t get better then that. Still have a cool wind in the sun and the bugs aren’t out in full force yet
Now, that is what I would call DEAD FLAT water. Beautiful.
Stay Safe Bjarne!
Cheers!

Awesome flight . Sounds like a Bell 206 longranger or Jetranger. That was sketchy brother. Say a prayer. That whole block is sketchy. Jeepers !
Ya it’s a 206 but with bigger engines I’ve been told.
What a commute to the office!
What a commute to work.... Stay safe out there!

Thanks
thanks man look forward to it be safe
Flipn awesome 👍🏻👍🏻
Beautiful view and place to work. And that saw just screams!
Thanks and yup it sure does
Another amazing vid. Most dangerous I think too. Jetranger to the site & classic Canadian Beaver at the end!
Awesome content!
What an amazing way to make a living..
WOW what a job site
That's the most interesting commute ever.
Hey pilot, tnx for those awesome, clear cockpit windows!
awesome view and falling
Just like glass..beautiful water.
It seems like allot of big cedars have a rotten core. Does that dull the saw when making cutts
Nope
Great stuff thanks and cheers from LUXEMBOURG 🇱🇺 europe
Hi Fernand thanks for watching
Sketchy af . Thanks for the sharing. Amazing office ya got. Stay sharp
Beautiful place! Great video!
Thanks
Awesome video Bjarny!!! I really wanted to see your new saw thought 😢
Still runnin the 572. It’s ok, has no more power then a 372. I like the on/off switch and the handle bars. That’s about it
You have a cool job
Awesome flight footage brother
That's an awesome view would love to be there
Brilliant video, hello from the west coast of Scotland
Hello Mark from west coast Scotland
Saws running strong
Wow awsome brother ! You guys are earning it the ol fashion way ! BC OR ALASKA . Just found & subbed !

Thanks. Ya soaked my leg on that one 😂
good thing those trees are taken care of way out there
I have watched how the logs are flown off the mountainside. How are the logs transported to the mills? How far away are the mills located?
Fantastic video! Would you please tell us the name of the inlet? @ 18:12 you must have run into a big pitch pocket...the wedge made a good scraper!
Nice！！
Not a bad commute to work!

About how old are average tree your cutting ? How long do you stay in camp for getting a break & go to town ?
It can tricky cutting that bigger narlly trees.I was a falling a huge cedar that was center rot. It barber chaired up 40 feet then That teeterd before coming down.Got a flash back when you scrambled after you fell that split one.
Ya I had a scary one like that a few years ago
I bet the fishing there is fantastic?
TGIF eh!?
Cheers,
Jon
Yup good fishing everywhere here
a great bus to work
That is such beautiful scenery to work in,just beautiful. That tree you cut down seemed to be pretty solid, how many board ft. will one tree that size run?
Board feet? No idea. But I’d guess 20+ sq/m3
A beautiful ride to work!
How’s the fishing and Prawning there?
Fishing’s great
Thats some big ass trees!
Now that is a daily commute I could make every freakin day Buddy....and the lake as smooth as a sheet of glass.

This is awesome to watch, but how do u get them off the mountain?
They’re flown off the mountain by helicopter
@@BjarneButler just a couple at a time?
The 572 sounds like it is holding a lot of rpm with that much bar (36?). Are you setting your chains up the same as for the 390?
what chainsaw pants and boots do you wear
How often are trees full of water like that?
Buongiorno ,complimenti per tanta capacità! In che ambito verrà usato il legname?
You fellers wear the reg gladiators or the vents? Had a pair for 6 or 7yr and tough as hell..great job in that dangerous patch

Most all cedar gets flown and for everything else, only high grade gets flown out
What kind of trousers are these?
Phanners and they’re my new favourite
0:12 LOL the chemtrails switch!
I thought I was the only one to see that… I’m very curious as to what it “really” does lollll
some nice wood there ....pretty damn steep...nice job . i guess everyone is chasing cedar right now . Crazy prices . Central coast or lower ? Keep safe and adrenaline flowing , and thanks for sharing.
How much is that cedar worth $ (you think)?
Would it be more advetageous to fell them upslope to help them not breaking?
Falling upslope is too dangerous impractical and it’s safer to buck when the log is horizontal(level) to the hill
Bjarne Thats makes sense-didnt really think about that. Love your videos! I fell a Massive 35 ft tall Live Oak here a few days ago-limbs akimbo and rotten heartwood makes it tricky. Cheers to ya!
