I miss falling and being in the woods did it for 17 years, unfortunately i wasnt one of the lucky ones i have permanent brain damage,and can no longer work,i love youre vids brings me back,id still b doing it if i could,nothing like the smell of 2 stroke in the morning
Agreed
Laborer forty years on the East Coast. Hated wearing rain gear! Bad enough on pipe scaffolds, I can't imagine standing on a couple saplings doin what you're doin. My Hard Hat is off to you, Sir!
Im a tree climber and there's no way your getting me 15ft up without climbing gear while useing a saw great job
Thank you for your answer, I like your vids and seeing how fell trees
I grew up around logging on vanisl and these videos show just how difficult and rewarding a fallers job is! Cant wait for more videos after logging picks back up!
I fall trees in Humboldt CA but what you're doing is gnarly. Very impressed 🙌🏾 much respect
That tree will live forever; thanks to the skill and pride in the feller, and the craftsman who will use it.
XPHALCON It actually is dead now because of him but whatever
@womp bozer the tree was already dead
Fine, fuck that tree anyway
@@wompbozer3939 yer dum
@@huntr4lfe it wasn’t actually. They clear cut this area for a fucking corporation
A master at work, amazing what you can do with a 390
Not a tree hugger by any means but damn, beautiful tree - kinda sad to see them go sometimes. Such is life.
not such is life...such is capitalism.
Jon Abbott isn’t capitalism part of life if you live in a capitalist society?
Fact is, without logging nobody would see those kinds of trees anyways. Nobody is going for a stroll in that kind of ground. I can guarantee that.
@@christopherpidgeon7611 I would
I have and know plenty of people who also have. Its only really sad if we do something silly like ship it to china then back again.
Sweet, gonna do this for a nasty dead fir tomorrow so I can make sure my double cut is clean.
Cool would love to see it
Adding some things to my knowledge bank from watching your videos, thanks! There is a LOT of skill that goes into what you're doing there daily! Keep making videos when you can....work safe!
Thanks. Will do. Just in smaller wood right now, nothing TH-cam worthy
@@BjarneButler Can you imagine doin that the old timers way man those guys were animals back in the crosscut n double bit days So do they even yard those old snags and get what they can for shake bolts or leave em lay probly depends on how decayed they are huh?
I've never seen trees that big I've cut 4 ft 5 ft at the stump hardwood an soft wood ..but that's massive be safe out there .
This guy is an animal and does amazing work i would love to drop trees with him im in the east coast and the biggest trees I've ever worked on were tulip poplars and the trees on the west coast make them look like saplings its amazing I would love to work out there
Thank you so much fo making this video. I do lots of tree work mostly residential and this is bad ass to watch..
Be safe brother
That was f-in badass,(excuse my language I AM American!) Totally awesome 👌
Its amazing greeting from Indonesian 👍🙏
Your videos are incredible my friend keep up the great work. I’ve cut a sycamore tree that was 4ft but that’s the biggest I’ve cut here in Texas. Keep posting great content and be safe!
Thanks
magnifica dimostrazione come creare una struttura primitiva per raggiungere lo scopo complimenti!
Awesome video. Cool delivery. You cut out the fluff. Thank you.
Fantastic Work! Awesome to watch
Thanks
Very, Very Best Logging video I ever saw, Extreme Talent bringing down this elderly giant of the forest.Keep posting, best regards
Thanks
I agree.
That's not loggin guy it's timber cuttin
Tony Is The Type Of Guy feel better now? Personally I feel extremely enlightened. So is cutting timber part of a logging operation? Hmmmmm......
@@briankennedy1313 of course it is bud but calling a timber cutter a logger is almost like calling a boat maker a fisherman
Awesome Work, Man! Respect!
Man versus nature- the road to victory! 💥 🌲
Nature will win in the end... man will die off as it should have decades ago..
I had to do this several times when I was working in old growth.
Incredible great work great video
Great falling video, nice
Well done sir!!!
Thanks
Freaking amazing.next level skill.
That was awesome! Very nice work!
Thanks
Great work I like your techniques and that saw is super nice cool man!
Thanks
Another awesome video BB😎
Keep them coming!
That's why why you get the big bucks 👍🏻
Dude you're a beast with balls of steel! Lol well done
big a** tree haha. nice work mate
I'd love to pick your brain on tips on felling. Great video.
Thanks
Sure ask away
@@BjarneButler Once I figure how to send a message, I will. Thank you for responding back too
Awesome 👍
amazing!!
That is freaking amazing work.
Well thank ya
Ol huskey was screamin lol
Sounds like the drill at the dentist
Nice falling job. Most people probably dont realize how much skill is required to do what you just did. My only complaint is that you did it with a husky and not a stihl :)
Lol. Just showing you Stihls how it done. 🤙🏻
yeah itll grow back in no time @@BjarneButler
I had both huskies and Stihls, I preferred a huskie for falling, better balance, thinner lines ( power head ), faster rpms, better gas mileage. Both are the best saws I have ever owned, or seen operated.
same^
obviously not in the know noobpvptv
Awesome
Dude sometimes i watch your videos and think this guys boss must not like him lol you do some knarley shit brother and do it well i been cuttin n climbin in Washington state for 22 yrs my biggest tree was a cottonwood that was 18 ft circumference and had to piece it out ya know so lots of swingin around and ropin big limbs but it was easy compared to some ive watched you do thanks for sharin stay safe brother again Nice work man impressive as hell Thanks
Wow. 18 feet is pretty big. My biggest was a cedar 15x12. An oblong shape with a 6ft hole in the middle.
Ya we whittled the last 3 cuts of the trunk with a 880 stihl 60in bar we made pilot cuts to get the big bar started we had it easy compared to what you deal with you guys are the legends of tomorrow in the timber cuttin community in my military mind anyway. Stay safe brother i look forward to seeing more videos
Impressive!
isn't it awsome to stand on one of those bad ass stumps after you fall one ??
Wow man impressive work! I’m very interested in this kind of work! I’d love to work along guys like you one day!
New subscriber here, love your videos and the skills that you exhibit in them, keep up the great work.
Thanks
Were are you from your tree work is very good
biggest i fell was 18 ' had to cut a hole in stump to crawl inside center rot to finish my cut was using 090 with 8' bar .. and 036 with a 3' bar to finish
Lots of skill!! Sad our kids won't get to see them though.
Badass subscribed
I understand the need for this but it still makes me sad to see a 300 - 400 y/o tree like that fall. Early religious experience was just walking in an old growth stand with trees wider than some homes.
i wish we would start using wood for construction less and start using earth and rock
@@OutdoorLuke switching from timber to using earth and rock would make huge impact on nature aswell, there is no way around it. Atleast felling tree's makes no lasting impact.
@@phogelbice well i don't like to say it but there are to many humans we need to cull the masses =(
fred kramer apparently you have no idea the ecosystem benefits from fallen trees. A dead rotted tree provides so much mycelium and essential lignin substrates. It benefits the younger healthy trees 🌲 as well fungi, mushrooms and the list goes on...
@@humboldtrootz I think he means the mass forests that are alive and fallen for timber.
I barely have enough testicular fortitude to watch this never mind go out and do this.
so that’s what we’re gonna Do
simple
Man, I bet you shingle an entire house with just the stump.
Cool job and I know it's part of what's needed but damn they destroy some beautiful forests. Just think what that tree has been alive for. I hope they are saving alot of the Pacific northwest forests
Ya we actually have a lot of national and provincial parks here. We’re also not logging nearly as much as we were a couple decades ago.
Watch out or my bois stump and root will get ya! 😉
I'm not worthy! wow!!!
So these big cedars that hit the ground and shatter, do they still mill those or just leave them? I just can't see how a sawmill would like to mill logs that are splintered up.
They’ll take big slabs. It’s red cedar, it’s worth a lot. It’s worth so much that there are mills that will router the ends of short pieces and glue them together. There also a new small mill being built in port Alberni just for cedar and they will also do this method. It’s that valuable
@@BjarneButler Ok that makes sense I just wasn't sure how it worked with them splintering on impact.
Looks like the trees in prince rupert
God that tree is enormous. Really impressive, Biblical almost...
The longer you spend in the back is safer in the fall.
I have a dumb question. Have you ever slipped and fell from one of those?
Slipped but haven’t fallen off, yet
How long did that tree take to cut down? It astounds me to see that it is such a small saw that can take something that size down.
Don’t remember the time. There was a bit of prep work putting in the spring boards and filming. I also had to cut a window in the backcut. This tree was probably an hour but normally it’s 30-45min if all goes well. Then after, there’s the bucking
Man that saw rips must have tirbo
How is that monster taken out of the woods?
Grapple yarder, excavator with grapple or helicopter
I cut every day on east coast.. but that was cool and different. 394?? And what have you found for good rain gear?
I use Zyphron brand rain gear. I run a 390
@@BjarneButler I'll check it out. Thanks.
could you consider this tree "old growth"? I've been trying to find information and have been studying to learn about our trees in this area to determine when something is actually "old growth". Mostly for rot resistant properties. I'm a wood window restorer and will soon be milling for my own work as well. Cool vid!
An old growth area is a forest that’s never been cut down before. Also known as virgin ground.
@@BjarneButler AND IT SHOULD NEVER BE CUT DOWN EITHER! Leave them the fuck alone!
Well these are the most productive rainforests, cut them is better than cutting eastern cedars
Did that whole area get clear cut or just selective logging?
Clear cut. But the blocks are smaller now
Go saw Ninja. Earth First!!!.....We'll log the other planets later.
Just curious... is this public land or private, why is this work being done?
Most of the time it’s public we also do private First Nations territory land. These trees are being cut for their value as lumber.
This was cool and I know I owe my livelihood to this type of work - but was it just me or did the sped up footage sound like the tree screaming as it was cut? 😂😅
Damn it boy!! I hope they are paying you at least $500 a day! That’s some ruff work but very entertaining to watch good job man!
Thanks
Do you get paid per tree/ day/ size/ danger or cut?
Paid day rate
I'm guessin your top pay?... are there like levels of certification and what they'll turn you loose in? Ivery always wanted to come try
@@arborist460 Its only fun if its not your job like everything else. A lot of time and experience went into that even tho he makes it look easy!
Why did you cut that awesome tree down
It’s my job to and it’s in the middle of the road. Check out my Instagram for pics of after the road is built
@UCQNyFk9bPVVrNk08mgYlByw fuck your road and your job!
Nice work. How do you like that tsumura bar. I just got a 36 inch but haven’t used it yet. Is that a 395 husky?
Bryan Marks Thanks. Tsumura is all I use now. Better then that Oregon/husky crap. I run 33” and it’s a 390
Have you ever run Sugi bars? They are all I run, cutting hardwoods in Central Illinois.
Some of us ran Canon bars, German steel. The best I have used because of the quality and stiffness. 42" was the shortest we use. Great videos, this is how professional log. !
Are you guys busheling?
Hopefully you're getting paid for cull scale!
Was that one a cull?
Don’t know what bushelling is. We get paid on day rate.
@@BjarneButler here in Washington the older guys still call timber cutters bushelers
I bet these guys have seen bigfoot😉👍🇨🇦
Haha if I did no one would believe me 😂
Nice! I like how you used the rip cut on that buttress for a trigger. I didn't realize you had cut the window and back cut into the far side already.
Did you leave any scraps out there for the lowly salvage workers?
Yup anytime there’s cedar with broken ground there’ll be salvage ha.
H BB what is the wood from a tree like that used for ?
Lots of stuff. It’s red cedar. From finishing work in buildings and homes to shake & shingle to patio decking
@@BjarneButler Thanks BB .Ah so its rot resistant . That is some skill you have ! very impressed bestJP
this video is unequivocal evidence why logging is the worlds second most dangerous job
Where is it on the West coast? This is a wet forest! What is the height of this place above sea level? What species of trees are found on the site, except canadian cedar? Interested in those places!
West coast of Vancouver Island. I would guess about 600-800ft elevation. There’s Hemlock, Balsam, Cypress, a little spruce and yew wood.
@@BjarneButler Understood. Vancouver is not a very remote place. I know about the area, Khaksari island, Rayal island,porcher is-Idend, banks island and adjacent continental forest area, district of Terrassa and Kitman? And especially!! Puley island and Roderick island? Clement. As far as I know-the area North of Vancouver, but South of Alaska is wetter than 2 of these places respectively! In % there is more balsam, spruce (mostly Sitka), Hemlock, and instead of grass, dominated by the moss. The height of the mountains 2500 on average!
@@BjarneButler Generally, as far as I know, the Western coast of Canada North of Vancouver, but South of Alaska is almost untouched by civilization, there are several reservations and forests, consisting mainly of Sith spruce and fir large! How difficult is it for a tourist from a foreign country to get to those places? I mean the So-called great bear rain forest!
There is old logging sorts throughout the coast, also fish farms and sport fishing lodges. Although there is a lot of untouched old growth forested areas spread throughout. You can charter a plane(Cessna) from port hardy or Bella coolla for under $1000cad to a lot of remote places. There is also a barge service that takes tourists on their trips around the coast. Hope that’s helps
Okay, thank you for the answer! $ 1,000 an hour? Still, the price for renting a plane is modest. Remote mountainous areas of the coast are visited by tourists? There is a unique flora, because rainfall, according to scientific research falls much more than even in the mountains of Vancouver. Wood in such an environment to exist must be very resinous. Much resinous than in the plains.
I just found your videos and I'm watching all of them. Super impressive! Also kinda sad to see the giants come down but if you didn't do it someone else would.
What kind of equipment does it take to clear those stumps after the tree is felled?
I’m not much of an heavy machinery guy. A 350 size excavator. With a grapple attachment. On steep slopes they use grapple yarders. Madil is a common brand of yarder here
What a big beautiful tree. Shame we don't allow these to live. None left in Europe.
Don’t worry there’s thousands of sq/km’s of old growth left, here in BC
And we are logging some areas for the 3rd time, replanting is a huge business in BC
bjarne butler How many centuries does it take for a tree to grow to that size? Or millenia?
@@BjarneButler there won’t be before to long if you idiots don’t stop cutting them for corporations! Human greed will kill us all! There’s few of these left in the us now.. the more masses repopulate the more land needs to be cleared the more trees are cleared the higher the pollution goes and bam... “climate change”... if you wonder why it’s hotter thank these guys for it..
I live in New England. We do not have trees like that. If we did and you cut it down everyone would forget all about Donald Trump and lose their minds. :- ) How the heck are trees that big and old out there? How far out in the middle of nowhere are you? Great vid btw.
Thanks. I was about 2hrs from town. We got lots of big trees out here and a lot of untouched forest
390/395?
390
Have u ever cut doen antree
Don’t know what that is
I have a question for you sir , how do these trees grow on these rocks without dirt ?
My guess is that some tree in the past fell on the rock and rotted or accumulation of needle and twigs rotting on the rock. Then a sapling started and roots kept going down looking for soil. Once they found soil the tree continued to grow.
How old is that tree and why did you cut it down?
Around 800. Because it’s my job
Other than "being your job" is that the only reason?@@BjarneButler
when a tree gets ripe its like anything time to pick it @@bogey19018
bjarne butler time to get a new job that means you leave this earth a better place than when you found it. In that regard your account is in significant deficit
@kandress1985 I bet Hague is not typing that from his house made of wood. A fool like that is not smart or responsible enough to have a house. So I bet he is typing it from his moms house made of wood.
With all the respect to these guys working there, but I would never make living by killing such a trees. No way.
Please please please real time next time brother.
How are those massive logs taken out of the woods?
Helicopter, plus he usually carries one out if he has a free hand
He described two roads cutting across a hill, probably trucking switchbacks to facilitate a clear cutting method. In that case most often they will drag the stripped trees down the slope with a cable and power winch, then lift them onto a truck with truck mounted crane. Sometimes the residue from old logging operations are still visible decades later, with huge steel cables and the old style diesel "donkey" winch abandoned after the work is over. As you say it would be really difficult with a huge tree, though that tree was pretty well rotted inside and already broken off at the top. Managing the hinge would never be completely safe or easy.
Bummer :/
Bro forgot to yell timber! Seems like a missed oportunity lol
Yeah I bet he will never get another chance to yell "timber".
John Cena and James Franco called.
Lol
????
Indeed
Looks like a rot log haba
Ya some rot. But that’s normal for a tree that size.
Ya some rot. But that’s normal for a tree that size.
Do sad to see a thousand year old tree cut. Nothing like this is left in USA. Maybe 100 big trees like This left in Cali.
I hate to see all the ancient giants cut down soon they'll all be gone.
They rot if they get too big. Plus the world makes new antiques every day
There are thousands of sq miles of uncut timber, no chance they will ALL Be Gone.
@UCi2Honv8eVgE7mY4oCnRjuA news flash it will be eventually if you fucks don’t stop cutting them, or protecting them, and if people don’t stop reproducing and moving in! God I wish humanity would die off already!
Doom...
This guy was huffing and puffing using a chainsaw 100 years ago when they were cutting bigger trees by hand they would of ran his ass out of that camp I’m sure he would of been winded the first couple pulls from the hand saw.
100 years ago logging was far more physically demanding. Also, have you seen some of the old pictures of lumberjacks standing on their springboards? Some are pretty old lookin. It’s more about skill then brute force
Half the skill required is just 'moving' around his work.
