Coal Harbour!! My dad lived there from 1976 to 2001 up the hill from that hangar, loads of memories. The rest of the video was great also, cheers for sharing.
What a fantastic insight into how you live when you are away from home. It answers many questions that occur to many of us who work within comfortable daily travelling distances of our home. Many thanks, stay safe and kindest regards from Scotland.
Thank you for showing yourself "going to work". I spent a season in a "log camp"in the Sequoia National Forest", in 1970. It was easy to get to compared to your commute. It was at 10,000', so a little different. Great video's, Michael
Excellent video bjarn, really cool, that's a big operation, alot of money at that camp, man that barge is impressive, sweet looking heli too, man that's really impressive, thanks for sharing 🌲💪
Fun times flying in a Turbo Otter. The Hercules Barge I believe was owned by Seaspan, I don't recognize the W logo. VIH Kamov still swinging wood. Nice to see these things again, thanks Bjarne.
I love work...I can watch it for hours! Floating man camps reminded me of the camps we lived in over in Iraq as civilian contractors, only there, they were locked together and looked like shipping containers on the outside and rooms were for 2 men. Some were two stories with stairs on the outside at Anaconda, a huge logistics base north of Baghdad. Not many chainsaws around, though...but lots of date trees...
That’s not that good bud, I make that in 1 day. $2,500-$3,500 in usually 6 hours. Before folks jump in and tell me I’m full of shit….save it…the restraints you have mentally put on your own earning potential has nothing to do with my earning potential. I know guys that make more than that too this is just where I’m at. That’s fucked up a military person risks there life for that $ or even I a fireman I’m sure they don’t make bank but are fucking heroes.
Very good content, loved the museum, the lodging is pretty interesting,Got to see a bunch of stuff a regular guy would never see. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe out there.
I remember that log barge was loading logs in Menzies Bay in early 2000 - 2004. They sunk a boom boat. Had to get divers in to find it so they could recover it. Interesting watching them work while loading.
If you get the chance to take another run around the museum that would be much appreciated. I love seeing old antique motors and chainsaws and stuff like that.
I was in Coal harbour in '72, got a job buckin' the timber at the mine site, into 6' lengths so it would go through the shovel doors. Sure looks different today, was an old whaling station then, a few people lived there, out of the way place from Port Hardy.
I started work in that mine in Mar. '72. Used to split cedar stumps in half with the bucket teeth on the P&H 2100's so they would fit in the back of a 120 ton truck. We used to trade M&B rock for peeler firewood.
Bjarn..that was a great video....especially at the end there looking rite into the counter rotating blades on that helicopter.....man that's something you really don't see any day......thanks so much......take care and be safe.............
Such an amazing site to see those kinds of barges dump the logs off. I've never seen them load it so this is awesome to see as well. Really wish I could have got into this line of work.
Ever cool bud I’ve never a residential climber for over 15 yrs now I would love to hop on a job site like that what a experience be safe bro thanks for the videos deadly
Thanks for the tour, Bjarne. It's something we TH-cam fellers never see. What a massive industry...and physically exhausting and DANGEROUS work! 🤯 I hope the grub in good! 😉 You should get HAZARD PAY...just for getting to CAMP!
Man I want to get in the Kamov so bad!! Ive logged in 500's (support), Huey and the KMAX. Worked off a barge in rivers inlet back in 2013. Fun as hell back in those days!
I worked for many years at contracting in the mines in Australia and your logging camps seem like a scaled down version of what the mines use. With the mines though the accommodation is entirely separate from everything else except the dirt we took back to camp everyday. It's a pretty mind numbing existence but then again you're there to work. My standard kit always included a big box of books for when I wasn't just eating and sleeping in camp. I worked seven day weeks for months on end but then there was nothing else to do and getting it done meant getting out sooner. The biggest camp I stayed in held 3000 men which was a construction job for $b new mine. One of the quirks of the men doing this kind of work was that they were mainly all junkies for it so you'd see the same people from one job to the next on job sites sometimes thousands of miles apart. Thanks for the insight into your world.
Hey Buddy, Thanks for the very cool ride and video of everything else. You be safe out there. Can't hardly wait for the next one. You will have to tell us how you like that Cannon Bar. I just got a new 32" and 28" Shugi Hara's from Bailey's just today as a matter of fact. Anyhow be safe buddy.
@@BjarneButler Thanks, it looked like it's a little better bar than most wondering about the weight and tip wear but like you said you won't know that for a while. Good to hear from you, really enjoyed today's video. Wouldn't kill you to give a brother a shout out once in awhile....lol only kidding buddy today's video with the guy who got hurt reminds us everyday how dangerous our jobs are. Be safe my brother....be safe.
Wow, things change. One of those float planes in Coal Harbour now has it's tail number on a Jazz plane and that Kamov has been parked in Victoria for over two years.
Old growth is worth a lot of money. And it’s all about efficiency and when prices go up the wood owners and mills make extra money while all the subcontractors still have to bid the same low prices yet when wood prices drop all the sun contractors are expected to lower their bids because times are “tough” for the multinational woodlot owners and mills 🙄
Quite shocked at the end when the helicopter finally came into view! It's a Soviet made Kamov KA-32 coaxial. I didn't know any North American countries were utilizing these birds? If it works, take advantage of the tool.
I've spent a night or two in one of those ROOMS. Surprisingly it's really not bad when you consider you're usually dead-dog tired at the end of a shift so Eat and laze-around for a few then SLEEEEEP. ONLY if the BED is decent...LOL. Mostly Northern Montana Logging and the last time was working in Texas Oil fields as a Mechanic. I'll bet the FOOD is pretty good too....Usually is in a good Man-Camps run by a good company. Hope you're all COMFY in there...LOL
I grew up in them in Northern Ontario, was a dock boy for a fly in service for a summer. I would not trade a turbo for a piston, they are more modern than commercial cockpits these days. Viking in Victoria does conversions, love flying in them ! Don't have the thump of 12 cylinders , but the technology for flying in BC in the weather feels so much safer, having reverse doesn't hurt either. Thanks for posting !
@@HuckThis1971 On approah slowdowns are fun too ! Q400 can fly slow and low, great sight seeing aircraft, this hydraulic control gives the pilots so much room to manuever Thanks for posting !
Hi, a great first vid, glad i stumbled by. Looks like a great work place, plenty of action. From a retired marine engineer in kiwiland. N Z. I had a problem in my Nissan diesel 4x4 a few years ago. Was a sealed electrical item in my alternator come fuel pump. About seven years ago. Had to get a whole new unit. 867 bucks worth. Good luck finding the problem. I constantly carried two new batteries and long extended jumper leads, until the problem was found.😕

He ain’t the only one! I would feel like I’m in heaven there. I bet it smells great
Thanks for sharing that’s something that I wouldn’t never get to see. Beautiful country up there.
Was a WWII Milatary Base . So Cool 😎
Coal Harbour!! My dad lived there from 1976 to 2001 up the hill from that hangar, loads of memories. The rest of the video was great also, cheers for sharing.
This was cool, thank you so much for showing everywhere around the camp! always wondered what those float camps look like on the inside. 👍
WOW ,how other people work. Amazing stuff .
Most impressive. Just another day for you i suppose. Thanks for showing.👍👍
Thank YOU very much for this very nice Video !!! Kinde regards from Switzerland !!!
Got way more than expected when I clicked on this video, really great stuff, thanks for the tour!
My son really enjoyed watching this. Thanks for keeping it clean.

Ah, a life few of us have ever had a peak into. Thanks, Bjarne. Have a safe rotation.
Best video I've seen anywhere in a long time. Fascinating how the camp works. Thanks Bjarne
Excellent video bjarn, really cool, that's a big operation, alot of money at that camp, man that barge is impressive, sweet looking heli too, man that's really impressive, thanks for sharing 🌲💪
Now that was awesome - great behind the scenes look at a loggers gig. Really enjoyed this video, thanks brother, cheers
Fun times flying in a Turbo Otter. The Hercules Barge I believe was owned by Seaspan, I don't recognize the W logo. VIH Kamov still swinging wood. Nice to see these things again, thanks Bjarne.
the W is for Washington cranes, the Hercules use to be Rivtow when built towed by tug Capt Bob. all bought out to Seaspan.
Wow. It is so cool to see the scope of humanity in process. Thanks for sharing.
Much appreciated!! It's really fun to go along with you on work adventures, thanks for sharing :)

What was the pay like? I ask cus I see to hear about that type of stuff and heard it was big $ but didn’t know if there was any truth to it.
@@chrisreynolds2410 Back in the early GWOT the money was good, nowadays you get the equivalent of a SSG's combat pay. ($3500-4000/mo)

Nice to see the Cannon bars, the only bars I ever used, good German steel.
Camp life ,,
Thank you for all your fantastic uploads , nice to see the working area ……amazing !
Greetings from Holland.
Great Video! Thanks for the quick look at that old saw and equipment museum, and the barge and float camps!!! Subbed!!
Welcome. Thanks for the sub
Excellent footage, Bjarne! Appreciate the window into your world!
This is incredible!
Whats good jacob?!?!? Love your videos bro!
I remember that log barge was loading logs in Menzies Bay in early 2000 - 2004. They sunk a boom boat. Had to get divers in to find it so they could recover it. Interesting watching them work while loading.
Great video Bjarne. I can only imagine what the blade control linkage looks like on those coaxial helicopter blades! 🤯
Ya those choppers are flying all day everyday. Stopping for fuel and scheduled daily maintenance, usually around lunch time
Thanks so much for a very interesting video….you answered so many of our questions! 👍🏻😳😁
Whoah!!!! That “chainsaw museum” was amazing !!!!!! Never seen anything like before
Wow..nice thurale video ,quite the operation going on there..thanks for sharing, never seen such an operation..very cool.
Great job on the video. Cool to see museum, camp, surroundings and all the other equipment. Chopper and barge at the end was the best. Thank's.
If you get the chance to take another run around the museum that would be much appreciated. I love seeing old antique motors and chainsaws and stuff like that.
I did another video on the museum about a year ago
@@BjarneButler ive watched probably 99.9% of your videos for the last 4 yrs. I didn't find anything with museum in it.
Incredible video Bjarne 👍 can't wait to see some cutting too!! Who knows maybe you'll find a bonus nugget in your pan !! Be good and stay safe.
Great video Bjarne. One of the most interesting I've seen on TH-cam. Appreciate it, take care.
Man this is wicked ! Dream living right here mate
Sooo cool to see the behind the scenes! Love the old museum! Keep up the hard work 🤙🏼
Heli logged Devastation Bay in 96, lived on a ship, logs landed on ice breaker, and coulson was the flyer
That museum was awesome!
I was in Coal harbour in '72, got a job buckin' the timber at the mine site, into 6' lengths so it would go through the shovel doors.

Buckin Billy Ray would love that museum!!
I have a ‘31 pickup just like that 🥰😎🤙. Awesome video
Excellent footage!!!! If I didn’t need it to hold my saw, I’d give my right arm to be there cuttin with ya! What a dream that would be!
Excellent, excellent video !! Something few people get to see or even know about.
Hey I fly with scare cab all the time! West coast road builder here! Thanks for the videos
Haha ya scarecab. Let me know if you need fallers. I’m always looking for more contract work.
Such an amazing site to see those kinds of barges dump the logs off. I've never seen them load it so this is awesome to see as well.
Really wish I could have got into this line of work.

Wow, that is really cool! Thanks for sharing this with us! Stay safe!
Excellent video. You answered a lot of questions I had. Keep up the great work. Be safe and have fun.
Amazing video, great to see different aspects of the business, thanks for sharing 👍
That was really kool watching the process!! Hope you get or got a nice raise, They need share the love!!!
Thanks for the tour, Bjarne. It's something we TH-cam fellers never see.
What a massive industry...and physically exhausting and DANGEROUS work! 🤯
I hope the grub in good! 😉
You should get HAZARD PAY...just for getting to CAMP!
Extra hazard pay would be nice haha
Man I want to get in the Kamov so bad!! Ive logged in 500's (support), Huey and the KMAX. Worked off a barge in rivers inlet back in 2013. Fun as hell back in those days!
You still fly?
@@BjarneButler Yes I do!
We started flying the 500's back in 1981, great platform, ex Vietnam pilots. Much more stable than the long Ranger. I was logging, not flying.
Sweet museum thank u 4 sharing
Hey buddy, I hope you are doing well and staying safe out there. Also, have yourself a great shift out there
Thanks for video. Kamov great piece of machine
Seems like a fun job.
good to know how things work, great video
Thanks for the video Bjarne mate

Wow 300 man camp is huge. Ya bringing a book into camp is a good way to pass the time. I can’t go more then 3 weeks in camp
Awesome video, watching from the prairies.
Log drop into the water was cool!
Awesome to see what my new career will be like
Great vid! 👍🏽
Hey Buddy,

Anyhow be safe buddy.
Ya I haven’t used it much on this shift but I’ll give my opinion on it when I finally wears out. Sugihara bars are ok I tried them a few times
@@BjarneButler
Thanks, it looked like it's a little better bar than most wondering about the weight and tip wear but like you said you won't know that for a while.

The dry room is giving me heavy hockey locker room packing a dip vibes
Our camps in SE Alaska are similar, yours are definitely a little fancier
Cool video. Wouldn't ever have seen anything like this if you hadn't taken time to make it Good job.
One of the coolest videos on youtube
Cool to see barge loading
It's just a different way to go to work lol. I miss it. Plane-plane-heli-boat-tug. Then move camps lol. Great footage bro
Absolutely amazing video mate, ☺.
Great shot of the Kamnov
A
Ways enjoyed heli barges, good food, clean, and the Kamov’s were so cool to be,around. Coulsons had the best food.
Quite shocked at the end when the helicopter finally came into view! It's a Soviet made Kamov KA-32 coaxial. I didn't know any North American countries were utilizing these birds? If it works, take advantage of the tool.
Those tough little egg beaters can almost match a chinook for lifting power!!!
Logs must be worth alot to cover all that overhead. Be safe.
Yup
Excelent vídeo. Thank for sharing
“This..... is my BOOMSTICK!”
Sorry - somebody had to say it. I like chainsaws. Just subscribed!
Pretty brave standing that close to a vodka burner while it's landing. LoL
Nice to see the camp and log boom side of your work.
Another great video Bjarne, stay safe. I see stihl bar oil there, what two stoke oil do they use, im curious 👍
Enjoyed that very much, seeing other aspects of the industry. Thanks!
I Love Logs In The Bay. I Love Loggers;
I was hoping to see takeoff with all that weight. Nice flight.
Thanks, this is so cool.
Been there, Done that for Columbia and Erickson cutting timber for helicopter logging...
Reminds me when I worked offshore in the north sea, but without the chainsaws and logs. Similar kinda feel
My Dad is a barge loader on the Hercules 3 that you filmed, he runs the back crane the one with the red grapple
Cool. Ya he was faster then the other guy
Filming the Kamov Ka 32 helicopter at the end of the video is a real rarity!
I've spent a night or two in one of those ROOMS. Surprisingly it's really not bad when you consider you're usually dead-dog tired at the end of a shift so Eat and laze-around for a few then SLEEEEEP. ONLY if the BED is decent...LOL.

this is a really fun and interesting video, i loved it
Really great video. Be safe brother.
Those De Havilland Beavers are my favorite aircraft!
The turbo Beaver not so much. Nothing like the sound of that wasp radial!
I grew up in them in Northern Ontario, was a dock boy for a fly in service for a summer.

that losing the wrench was classic... so glad its not just my life...
good stuff .
well now i know why i never get high score at tetris. those barge boys are too dang good
