    Looks like this is another video where I need to make a clarification. The whole premise of real logger versus fake logger is a silly one to begin with. The purpose of this video was just to have a little fun, not to be taken too seriously.

    The number of camera changes while you were harvesting the logs. Was amazing. I can appreciate how many setups had to be done to get just the shot you wanted. Plus all the editing that goes in to making it interesting. You have more skills than I think you realize partner.

    You made me curious so I looked it up. According to "Gaggle", Lumberjack was a Canadian term, just as you suggested, although it was coined in 1830"s.
    Red and Black 'buffalo check' flannel was adopted in the 1850's so as to stand out in the forest and also so as not to be mistaken for a bear or deer by would-be hunters.
    My grandfather was a logger in Michigan. He wouldn't yell 'Tim-ber' either, but instead he would yell "get the eff out of the way, jack-ass!"

I just want to know if I *have* a forest, or if I just have a nice stand of trees. Thanks so much in advance. 🙂

    Thought real loggers walked at 45 degrees to the tree as it started falling, Not 90. But not using hearing and eye protection makes a logger? Was a Humboldt wedge cut necessary on these small diameter trees? A logger might go Quicker for a regular wedge cut to get more trees down faster.

    If you are in the PNW, why are you using a "humbolt undercut"?? Was watching you put the tip of the saw in the snow and who knows what else was there. I bring my smaller saw along to limb the trees once they are down, and not have to lug the big one around and have the tip bang into everything along the way.

    I think this is more a case of how to identify whether someone's ever been a faller or not. there is an entire generation of loggers now that have never hand fell a tree. There are also many other occupations in logging that don't require you to be falling trees at all processor operators loaders yarders none of those require you to know about falling.

      Just a little over 12 inches. It would melt during the day a little then snow a little more every night until it was back up to about 12 inches. It did that same thing for about five days. It finally quit a few days ago and is now melting.

    There are so many layers of workers required to get that piece of wood to your home. From the land owner to the wood finisher. Even though I worked in the logging industry most of my life…I can’t imagine.
    It’s my understanding that the term “Timber” was used as a warning to other workers in the area that a backcut was about to be started in a tree.
    These were the days of 2-manned hand saws …well before safety was a priority.
    I was a heli-faller. I don’t expect anyone to know what that is, but I didn’t climb trees or dangle from helicopters.

    • @WilsonForestLands

      I quit most of my operations all winter because it was muddy. We got this one week of snow, now it’s melting and back to mud again. I ended the video right there because that’s as far as I could get the logs until some of the mud dries out in the road ahead of it. Good point you make with “muddy as all get out.” 😂

    A good post would be on your choice of chainsaws, why you run a long bar like David/Kelsea, if you can buck/split and haul out to an easier to get out of delivery/storage area, why you do not use an X27 splitter, which maul you do use, how to use a truck/cable to "squeal out" logs like David does if we do not have a tractor/logging winch, if you have a first aid kit/what is in it, if you carry an emergency locator like the Garmin, and so more stuff. But what you do is perfect also. Thanks, Bob in Nevada

    I always thought you could tell by the color of their chaps. If they are black and covered in little rips, he was worth talking to. If they were green he either lost his when they blew out the back of the truck or just got his stitch’s out. Orange means, well probably means they were sold out of green but not sure, nobody ever wore orange if they could help it. Course first they they teach you is to wear bright colors when being filmed so maybe it means he’s a decent videographer 😉👍🏼
