An analogy of Using a wedge to lift a tree is sighting in a scope. A small adjustment results in a large shift as distance increases. Most people don’t know that the taller the tree the more the effect on tree angle by the wedge. For example a 1/4” movement of the wedge may cause a tall tree top to move 10” at the top.
He could be the next Marvel Superhero. The main problem as I see it, is after he gets the tree off the stump, it's going to be tricky keeping it balanced. 💪🪓
I'd be interested in seeing your chain sharpening process, and hearing your thoughts on it. Many people believe the teeth have to be the same length, others say that doesn't matter, it's just the depth gauges that matter. Thanks for your videos, I've learned a lot from you. Hahaha! Nice lifting technique!
He has a video where he sharpens. It’s best to get your teeth as close to the same size as is reasonable. On a new bar it doesn’t matter as much, but as the bar wears it becomes more noticeable. Not to mention vibrations, the more even size wise your teeth are the smoother it will cut. Most important though for cutting straight is keeping your teeth angles the same on both sides of the bar.
A faller adjusts the filing to even out the teeth and keep them roughly the same. By this I mean you take more and stronger strokes off the longer teeth, and file more gently on the ones that hit the rock. Just get the rocked ones reasonably sharp, and file back the untouched ones more. Hope this makes sense.
After looking at the slo mo video at the end, it was good thinking to give that tree a final push outward. Otherwise I feel the upward momentum of you lifting it would have ended in a straight up lift off, rotated in the air 180 degrees and missiled back to the ground at your feet. Instead, that outward push caused it to cant forward and missile down the hill instead.
ahhhahah! I was joking with myself, thinking, "he should put his ax in there and lever on it like an undercut wedge." Then you grab it and lift it with your hands instead. Classic! Right on, Bjarne, right on!
I have watched a lot of you falling work. Excellent attention to saving out cedars from splattering on stumps etc. One thing I could recommend is to wear knit gloves to absorb some of the vibration. Hand neuropathy is slow and cummulative and can become permanent over time.
So i watched a very interesting documentary from the 90s on Vancouver Islands old growth Douglas fur stands. anyway, the thing i found interesting was the fact that doctors and the center of disease linked fungus spores from Douglas fur that causes meningitis. Have any of you guys ever heard of anything like that before like i know some trees are toxic and do pose health risks.
@@patrickd2013. I make my living running a saw and felling trees, but I’m not so stupid that I think the only value of a tree is whether we maximize its commercial value. Dead and dying trees have a lot of value when it comes to forest health…and anyone who makes their living in the woods should be concerned about the long-term health of their workplace. Unhealthy forest = unhealthy job market.

And Bjarne lifts a 10,000 lb. tree right up off the stump! That's completely awesome. Well done, young fella!
That WAS funny watching you lift the tree!😄😄😄
Bjarne, you are stronger than you look !

That's a slick lifting technique huh,good for the gluteus maximus lol, cheers for the reel Bjarne...
Another quite enjoyable experience for your followers, great with a cup of Coffee
You have a great office, love your view. I bet it smells wonderful out there. That tree looked heavy. Lol Be safe 🙏

Yet another fine quality job!! 😊

Amazing zoom on that camera!
You will take on the reputation of Canada's Paul Bunyan, if you keep on lifting those trees. Great video and nice to see you having fun.

Not to mention deafness induced by vibration
You make some great points on wearing gloves.
Lol "yeah it worked out as planned it's down the hill somewhere". Thanks for the video.
That's Pretty.
So, is there a minimum size tree that you cut? Great shot of you lifting the tree!!!😂
Laughed at the false lift. As always, a surgeon with a saw. That 36-42" bar looked like a 12" on that tree
Wow ! Amazing skill !
Hello, which felling ax you are using would need a robust one🙋♂️
So i watched a very interesting documentary from the 90s on Vancouver Islands old growth Douglas fur stands.
anyway, the thing i found interesting was the fact that doctors and the center of disease linked fungus spores from Douglas fur that causes meningitis.
Have any of you guys ever heard of anything like that before like i know some trees are toxic and do pose health risks.
I think the Dougla Fir Medical Association would like to challenge that analysis as to who presents a risk to whom.
@nicktecky55 i just found it interesting and wondered if anyone else heard of anything like that even.
Suasana tempat bekerja nya sangat nyaman indah😮
🎉
Bjarne the hydraulic lumberjack.
Great jo. I'm gonna give you the name "B" . for short, OK B?
Pretty sweet morning in the woods. Don't you just hate it when you ding up your chain first thing?
Ya especially if it’s a new chain
I didn't realize you could lift big old trees also.😂😂
I just want don’t know what to say!
Nuthin like ballooning those biggins over the bluff lol
Was there any merch logs out of them or did they all slab up?
There was probably slabs in the butt.
strong like bull
Hahahahahaha
Your strong...
Lifting that giant one😂
That's nothing. I stopped a 35,000 pound truck travelling at 60 mph with just one foot.🤣🤣
I always wondered why you did not use your Super Human powers to simply lift them over.
Quite entertaining... lol
Just put the 3 mn from 22:00 in short vidéo and you gain 1 million viewers 😂😂😂
“Tree fellers” is this one of your channels, if not then it’s somebody making money off of your likeness on TH-cam.
I looked, there’s several channels called Tree Fellers. The biggest channel is an arborist guy 🤷♂️
I’ll keep looking. Thanks for the notice
That’s what I don’t like about cedars they have those rotten harts even hear in California
now don't go playing softball, you're prone to line drives.
How horrific to see trees that large being cut down.
finally gives them a chance to travel.
They were steadily dying from the inside. Bjarne saved them from slowly rotting into uselessness.

Think about that the next time you wipe your butt!
Do you ever see many bears ? I suppose the noise of the saw would scare them away
I have run into bears at work before but most of the time the saw scares them off
