Highlight of my day folks!! Getting to watch my good old buddy Bjarne, drop 1 or 2!!
Big tree, small saw, edge of a cliff. Fun battle to watch. Thank you for sharing.
Highlight of my Saturday morning,going to work with the savyest cutter I know,again thank you Bjarne for sharing your awesome world with us,takes me back home,Dan from Washington state
You done a awesome job with that old trash of tree been watching your videos for a while like your work my Dad was a logger many years I had a taste of logging all my life i was born 1950 it was hard but i loved the life
They are fresh trees but I see some sick bed frames out of that wood. They would be very unique one of a kind ones
Excellent job! Part gymnast part logger. Stay Safe!
I flipped out when that rotten cedar jumped back upright ! I was wowed at the bounce ..nice work.
Tuhan masih melindungi. Jadikan pengalaman yg berharhga
It’s always nice catching one of your videos !! much respect from east Texas 🇺🇸
Your still the crazest cutter ive seen big ups bro nice cutting
Wow. That's all I can say. Saw? Little dinky 572 prolly was the right one for tossing & carrying things out there in the crush zone. Certainly got past that "40 second" Autotune Self tune time on some of those cuts! THANK you for doing these videos. :)
Walt, it’s one of the things that Bjarne does well.
BTW, how are you?
@@ToddAdams1234 recovering... and part of that is taking in my favorite channels of which Bjarne's is one. :)
@@htssoutboardsboatstrains9784 🫶🥰😉
572 is a gem of a saw , will do most anything in softwood , nice spot to work !
"It might break..."
Yep, lol.
You da man Bjarne!
You are certainly a master at your craft. I remember my dad who is 80 yrs today. 50 yrs ago cutting trees with pro mac 880 or 1000 can't remember which they were heavy big saws. He still cuts firewood for himself. Thanks for the hard work
Bjarne,
When our Son watches your videos with us, he always marvels at the size of trees you fall at some of the places you work. He said what we do is like falling toothpicks compared to that and while that's true to a certain extent its not always the case. He says you make it look so easy....Well after explaining that the knowledge and experience you have is what sometimes makes it look easy, but in all actuality its anything but easy because when one is internally rotted like a lot of those big red and yellow cedars are that get that old, they also become very dangerous sometimes. Well this block were working in now and will finish up this spring ( he says with fingers crossed) there are some really big old growth Ponderosa and Spruce at the northwest edge of this block and we hiked into them yesterday to get good survey of what was to come in a couple weeks and there are a couple 3-4 big ( for here anyways) dying snags in there that are close to the biggest we have dropped here so its going to provide me the absolute perfect opportunity to show our Son and the other 2 young guys on our crew just exactly how what we have spent YEARS learning....is anything but easy.
Take Care Buddy.

Hi Randy. I may make it look easy sometimes but it took years of practice and mistakes to get there. Those full length snags can be quite dangerous with those rotten tops. It’s nice to hear you guys are keeping busy 🤙
Wow...ridiculous. Something tells me they left those for the expert. Great work!
nice office view on the intro - quite jealous
Excellent vid as always! I like that you include when "stuff" happens and you gotta roll with it.... Not a faller out there that it all goes perfect every time. (had my share of awww @%$% me! kind of days back in the day cutting shake and shingle on the Oly NF) Keep the videos coming and work safe brother!
Good size tree to get your day started.
Stihl down… makes me smile
wow 😉another great video 👍 as always stay safe !!😉
Dam you earned your pay on that one that was cool as hell
The little saw that could!!
Like the technique for putting bar back on.
How old is this tree? Only the expert like yourself can entertain its size. Go places, sir
Dobar posao kolega, pozdrav iz Hrvatske 💪
Well Done!! Always be safe on the rotten old guys.
Very good, thank you.
Check it out boys red cedar make good scent bags off the chainsaw chips carry on boys 😊.
Stihl down, I thought you were going to wear your rope out getting Husky started. Still like the Stihl, was what I broke in on, Fellers got Stihl, Buckers got Husky, F&G knew what to give us to make them $.
Nothing wrong with Stihls, they’re good saws. I’ve always ran husky just hat I’m used to
@@BjarneButler I'm waiting to see how the California loggers do with now 2 stroke ban in 2025, instead of gas, batteries, maybe you've seen a "lectric bush" , guess I never crawled around the ,"Devils club" looking for one, that will be interesting, ask Donny if he's seen one. LOL
Hellova job ol friend…I’m from Ky and wonder how hard an oak would be to face up and fall in that spot…..that ol cedar seems to cut easy..our big whit oaks,hickory, and one of the hardest I’ve cut..pecan keep you honest on yer filing game and you better have cut a few and know what depth to set rakers or yer in for a long hard day…too much chatter will wear your hands out…too little burn bars n chains up and never get any down…I had rich build my 394 12yrs or so ago and it’s a monster with serious power…eat my new 395 and rival the big 880 I just bought last yr…beautiful country and I hope to visit bc before I go..
Ya cedars are very soft trees. They cut quite easily, the harder the wood the better your filing must be. Especially when cutting with a long bar. It’s a lot easier with a ground chain but when hand filing it takes some experience to be proficient at keeping that saw cuttin straight. I always make sure to touch up the chain throughout the day
@@BjarneButler me too. Even when I used blade on weedeater cuttin row. Kept flat file in back pocket. Them boys would bend over with saw where I would stand up and cut upto4” softwood with 8 tooth stihl grass blade. It for gas,phone,and powerline
Wow Bjarne I'd like to see you cut down a giant sequoia tree. Just kidding 😂 👍 nice job 🙌
looked dangerous the way you were perched to do back cuti was holding my breath just watching it
In Colorado, we are choking on smoke from Alberta. If you were a real friend, Bjarne, you'd go log that country instead of letting it all burn up.
amazing ...a PAUL BUNYEN !
So how much usable wood did you actually make from those old trees?
a lot lol more than what got wasted, that's for sure.
On a big tree that's dead and shatters when it hits the ground - is that just all garbage making room for replanting? Or do they try to salvage any of the cedar?
Alot of old red cedars have a decent amount of butt rot, this trees still alive, the fungus that usually does this in them would rarely actually kill the tree. usually only really shows up in the bottom 10m~ of the log, so most of the wood above is still worth good coin. As for the butt section, this one's worthless, but if there are pieces that are good wood and long enough to mill (12ft of solid wood is the minimum most mills want) they will still pick them. Essentially just becomes a smaller log, value is measured in board feet, so if it's good wood and it's millable it doesn't matter. Red cedar is worth it's Weight in gold
great skill as always but is there useful lumber to be derived after the trunk shatter?
Probably not much lumber but on cedar they still send in most of the pieces to make shakes out of. Anything they think will make some shingles gets a truck ride. I've seen loads that didn't even look like firewood
I thought this tree was going to barber chair for a minute.
Love to have that Burrell you're kneeling on there
Sketchy cutting. Easy for things to go sideways with those. Be safe.
Seems as if those trees should have been cut 50-100 years ago. Why they making you cut down that dangerous rotten wood, just to recycle? For fire hazard reasons? Nice work and stay safe. Compared to those, the ones I cut are toothpicks! Midwest/Great Lakes trees, even big ones tiny and we think we need a 395 :)
Cedar on a ledge | with my little saw 572 husky
Hey do you cut those big mother trees of the wood isn‘t usealbe anymore? Wild to See though! 🤘🏼
Red cedar is beautiful wood.
Have you ever tried the Stihl 500I, i see you are using Stihl swords....
Why do they make you fall those big rotten ones? Wouldn’t it be more profitable and safer to leave them. The wood on those big cedars always breaks apart and looks punky, no? Do they use any of it?
Cedar is very valuable. Still lots of good wood in that first tree
Yeah, if that’s the case makes sense.
Vidio yang sangat menarikkk👍👍👍👍👍
Bjarne do you have a grinder and you square grind your chain in the evenings?
So does that red mark on the tree indicate which way they want it to fall? I thought that was up to the guy doing the actual cutting?
The raven most likely had nest its home get it it
Is the big brother 592xp doing ok???? I love my 592xp!
What kinda cell or camera you using absolutely awesome scenary views
Let Mikey cut the dangerous ones!
😂 hell you ain't nuts that bird just wants half your lunch
👍
So I am curious , the first tree you said disregard the markings on the tree..the letter L stands out quite plainly ..so did they get you to go in and take the leave trees after the block was down ? Some shake slabs there for sure .
Yes that was originally marked as a leave tree.
@@BjarneButler ok thanks Bjarne . So all the old veteran cedars in that cut block were left and then taken down after. Kind of weird . I guess they must have been in a grey area concerning the size , because there is new cutting regs concerning the big old ones. Looked like a lot of fence rail material . Or maybe they wanted the fir etc to be laid out to act as a cushion for the big old vets .the value of cedar is pretty up there . Is your 592 as smooth running as the 572?
Just wondering how you get paid on a job like this? Is it a daily rate or board foot?
Day rate. We’re independent contractors
Can a tree like that be used for any timer related products, or is it just ending up as wood pulp? Considering how much rot and dead wood there was in it.
Cedar is very valuable so they’ll take some pretty small pieces of wood. There’s a local mill that now has a special joiner that can take these small cedar pieces and make bigger beams
Shes a Biggun
Bjarne, think i maybe asked before but how come you never wear gloves???
Just a preference. Some guys wear gloves some don’t
Are they able to salvage anything out of a tree like that ?
of course!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for your reply Bjranes
I was wondering the same thing. It looks like the first 30-40 ft is junk
Bjarne you need a teloscopic pole with a Mirror on it to look around those Big trees to see where your other cuts are. Halifax Nova Scotia
Scary work. Huge and rotten
New rain wear ?
Just an old backup pair. I forgot to fix the holes in my regular rain pants
@@BjarneButler Your regular pair must be made entirely out of repair patches now...
It's soo hard to get rid of old stuff and replace it with the new..."But it still works...!!" Hahaha
That was one Ugly Cedar.
Correction, that's two Ugly Cedars.
What’s the modification on the clutch housing
No mods on the clutch
@@BjarneButlerI’ve seen some with this flap on them I’m guessing let more chips out easily also you used your stuff yet they should’ve got there by now
How old would such a big tree be?
Not as old as it may seem. That is a large 2nd growth WRCedar, not an old growth. [from what I can see]
Maybe 200-250+ y/o
the last tree was older than the first one. The deeper the grooves/striations in the bark/cambium, the older the cedar.
Why do you clear fall instead of leaving some trees?
What’s that back pack bjarne
Hey how’s it going? It’s an old army surplus pack, I’ve had it for years
Selam turkiyeden
Hello Ferudun 👋
592 xp 'nin gücü nasıl
Hangi ülkede oturuyorsunuz
How can we find a tea thermus can you help there iş no original in turkey
Why was this tree even cut? seems unusable on the ground?
I know I won’t be popular for this comment your job is exciting and fun but I look at the forest that was devastated by the companies that do this makes me ashamed to be part of the race that does it
That cedar just seems like trash wood. Doesn't look like enough left over to even bother with.
I hope you're getting paid really good money because these other loggers are leaving you. The shit wood to cut.
Who pays all the filming time or do you get paid by the trees you cut
BUNCH OF TREE HUGGERS ARE SAD NOW!!!!....HHAHHAHAHAHA.......GOOD ONE BROS!!......BEEN A WHILE WE HAVENT SEEN THE BIG TREES!!!!!,,,,,AWESOME!!
There’s tree huggers and then people like you🤣🤣
is that wood useless? All that work for nothing?
Why is this firs tree taken down? Seems like a waste of good habitat for all sorts. It didnt look very useful for anything..
Whats the deal??? you left some standing
How mean, takeing away some animals home. Did you relocate what ever it was? No, do you even care? No.
😂😂😂😂
Conveniently, no reply
Loggers are slobs...looks like a nuke was detonated when you get done
Are you for real 1 hour on the job and you’ve done very little but shown us you hate to work ! Get on with it
So I tuned into a timber harvest show and ended up with "Cirque Soleil". Or is it logger Yoga.
Looks like good shake block wood 🪓 I would make blocks outta that bad boy prob good quality wood to
Hey Bjarne, what length of handle is that for you axe
А какой смысл валить эти гнилушки,хоть и большие?👆🏼🙄
