Well, sixteen years later and the hippies were right. The ice caps melted, flooded the coasts, the animals all died and were starving eating hemp and kale. If only they’d let this tree live! On the bright side, Donald Trump got his second term, Hillary was imprisoned, Michelle Obama came out of the trans closet and rush Limbaugh was reincarnated and is back on the air! I guess cutting down that rotten redwood was worth it after all!
One positive thing about redwood...get a splinter?? Wait 24 hrs... squeeze and out it shoots...The worst thing about a redwood house is fire...old growth house will last longer than you and one clone
Yep..spend a night in a redwood grove with high winds and pouring rain...take extra shorts you'll need em.....wind storm around Xmas 77-78 ... Oly and Judy Jensen...killed by redwood near pamplin grove...Ted Dewey...killed by redwood...both events on hwy36. I love the smell of redwood on a green chain...too bad it's been mismanaged
What is awesome about destroying the home of many animals and killing the lungs of the planet? How is this "awesome", right or in any way morally justified???
@@niagra898 You make a good point, however your guess is wrong. I am very much against abortion! It is utterly immoral to take the life of an unborn human being! I do not conform or subscribe to any parties political agenda! The rights of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness apply to both man and nature, regardless of what politics say! Democrat or Republican is irrelevant for me. Instead I stick to what I believe is right.
I'm sure the old growth trees cut in the past were made into products that improved the lives of countless people, but maybe the ones that haven't been felled should be kept. There aren't many left, and it will take centuries for the newer growth trees to get anywhere near that big.
This angers me. Without old growth forests you will not have natural medicines like polypore mushrooms that are anti cancer, anti tumor And anti inflammatory agents. Without these old growth forests you would not have them and they are becoming rare as a result. Would rather they cut second growth but not old growth.
U do realize there r still thousands of acres of old growth trees set aside that will never be cut for our pleasure....California and Oregon check it out they r not all gonna get cut and the ones that do r dead,dieing,or diseased!!!!do allitle homework before u bark at people for doing there job!!!
what a bunch of entitled little brats in this comments section. look at your house what is made of? wood. look at your kitchen what is a lot of it made of wood? how about your furniture? again wood. without logging you wouldn't be able to have any of that. stop bitching you snaggled toothed hippies.
Bin selbst Holzfäller und vor so einem alten Kempen habe ich Respekt und Ehrfurcht. Leider war in dem Video nicht zu sehen ob der Baum krank war. Bei kranken Bäumen habe auch ich kein Problem damit verdiene ich mein Geld. Meine Meinung ist daß ich meinen Enkelkindern im Wald noch richtige Bäume zeigen kann und nicht das Gestrüpp das Die Forstwirtschaft zur Zeit noch stehen läßt. Wenn unsere Großväter genauso gehandelt hätten wüßte heute kein Mensch mehr wie ein richtiger Baum aussieht. habe auch schon einmal einen schönen großen gesunden Baum (ca 250-300 jahre ) stehen gelassen. er steht heute noch den werde ich mit Stolz meinen Enkelkindern zeigen
I have no respect for those people. they think only of money. If they cut down a tree put one back! but no that costs money. Hopefully they are hit by a tree!
Actually, this is false. Old growth trees produce less seed, and less viable seed at that. They block out the sun, killing the seedlings that are trying to grow. Then, eventually when the old growth finally completely dies, there are fewer seedlings to take its place. And if loggers only took the small trees, there would be nothing to take the old growth's place. Your logic is flawed.
Man I'd like to cut a tree like that just once I live in Maine and have cut a few trees that were around 4 feet across and even those were quite a rush
There are regulations set that makes it damn near impossible to destroy a forest. Replanting, Leaving so far from the Creeks and Rivers no matter the size of the timber. It has to be left. A lot of those old giants are rotten in the middle. (NOT ALL) They are a great sight. Part of our History but their time comes also. And Trees are planted in it's place. They arn't as big as they use to be, never will be. But destroyed forests are not from loggers.
Natural salmon runs have died out on every continent thanks to silt runoff from zealous loggers who always think they know what they are doing. (Multi-million dollar industry gone!) Old Growth Logging = UNSUSTAINABLE IN ALL INSTANCES. Cut the trees that you grow on your plantations, and keep saws off the old growth! If you want a healthy forest, let the proven fire and insect-resistant trees (Old-growth) be the ones to reproduce.
I grew up in Humboldt County and loggers make their agenda known: 1. CUT THE BIGGEST. 2. CUT IT ALL 3. CUT IT NOW If loggers would simply leave the largest trees, while harvesting the smaller fire-prone trees, the forest would get healthier each year because the strongest and best get to reproduce. Imagine what happens when the biggest and best animals are taken out of a herd and not allowed to reproduce. You get a smaller, weaker herd. I am bitter because I saw many forests destroyed.
What the Hell is your problem with "the logger" type? Look around, Yes away from your computer or t.v. screen for a moment. Your life consists of things made out of wood, Paper and everything else produced from Timber. Loggers care more about trees then anyone else. It's their lively hood. they we leave so far from rivers and creeks so animals and fish can survive. Get a Life, go out doors. Get a real job. You couldn't physically log for a whole day. Fuck You.
It's funny you say this since you have no knowledge what so ever of stand prescriptions or silviculture practices what so ever. Your just some arrogant fool who has watched three skewed view points on logging and have no real educational back round to anything in forestry ecology or silviculture.
Loggers like these guys are easy to hate: they are ignorant, inbred, violent people. Hopefully when they eliminate all the big trees, logger children will expire in giant a muddy landslide after a long bout of starvation because all the Salmon died from stupid short-sighted tree-cutters who cared nothing about others or the health of the land. Obviously attractive people stopped having sex with loggers long ago, but that didn't work cuz look at these guys: each one uglier than the next!
I am a woodsman (real axe man) and I also trap and hunt. There is a difference between responsible forestry and this irreparable nonsense. A real man only cuts snags and young timber. He doesn't have to over compensate his manhood by destroying nature.
Personally I think a hands off approach would be better. Simply allowing the forest to age without any interference from man. People like to think their helping when actually they are hurting. Just leave the forest be...it has managed itself since the dawn of time.
I dont know about you but I have never seen a 50 year old live tree with cavities and hollows. Carbon does get released but its a very slow process, it happens faster when you burn it or cut it down/transport it. Think of all that gas being used...
Preservation of large trees is more important than tha fun or profit gained from taking them down. If yer not concerned about tha removal of trees so massive and to never be seen agin than you prolly deserve a really bad cut or a widowmaker straight up yer hillfolk arce!
My grand father use to fall trees like that every day when he was still cutting. love looking at old pictures of the stuff he did. hippies going to cry, cutters going to cut. simple as that...
haha i knew the fellow hippies were all over this one but you hippies shoulda stayed in SF, just sayin now you fucks gotta deal with DEA, Task Force, and Gang Unit
I would love to get the chance to get my old westcoast saw tasting the giants even just once more. It has likely been over 60 years since it has ripped through the massive Canadian cedars.
Destroying something 50 to 100 years older than yourself is completely moronic. The reality is you don't know the full ramifications. The reality is your leaving the planet worse off for your children.
yeah cut those sons-a-bitches down. but make sure to take lots of pictures to show your grandkids how beautiful they once were...and how necessary it was to cut them down.... -.- ...
FOLKS, if you LOVE TREES! BUY THE LAND! PLANT TREES! LET EM GROW! DONT DO ANYTHING! We have private property rights in the states ya know? government isnt going to do anything to curb this that isnt violent and forceful in nature >:O
The "earth muffins" were really fighting MAXXAM's approach of hostile takeover of timber company, then liquidation of the redwoods strip-mine style, running off with all the profit, and leaving PALCO bankrupt and everyone out of a job. The Earth First activist and the timber worker are fighting for the same thing. My grandfather worked for PALCO, my father was arrested in protests against MAXXAM's destruction of PALCO, and I'm studying computer science because the redwoods are gone.
It's not the "earth muffins" fault you can't cut down old growth redwood trees anymore: fact is there's none left to cut. Less than 4% of the original redwood forest remains. If we went and cut that maybe we'd have a job for a few years, but then what? The "earth muffins" were/are actually fighting to save our (and future generations) jobs by harvesting in a sustainable fashion.
So, Now that the industry has adapted and we are finaly getting to do a little bit of commercial thinning on public land, It's not just about saving the old growth now. It's about saving every tree in the woods. Hell, half of these thinning sales that come out get badmouthed by the local hippie yuppie groups. The bottom line is this, Enviromental whakos started with saving the old growth and now they're trying to run us out of our second growth stands and they'll use any means neccesary. IDIOTS!

THIS IS POACHING!!! Old Growth redwoods are illegal to cut! YOU ARE IN BIG TROUBLE!!!
Yeah… this was on 2006 so I think I’m going to be ok. Not to mention this was included in an approved harvest plan. Chill pill bro.
Now that's a Project!
Cut er down good job more oldgrowth needs cut
That was awesome!!!

Looks like they broke it. Should have put more time in a cozy bed for it to lay in
How much did the caller scale from the tree?

No one would ever see this tree before it fell down in a few years,rotten. It was already rotten. Save old growth forests.
they automaticly die after so long and need to be thinned to let new groth ctart also the new ones put out more carbon than the older ones
Hundreds and even thousands of years to grow and a few minutes for mans greed and a slave to the greed to kill it ! :( sad to see !
If you don't like us cutting trees tell the Beavers to stop to

Fuck you loggers, hope a big branch comes down and wipes all of you out in one shot!, that would be worth posting on you tube!.
forests are for make pulp and paper. fuck forests and clear cut all. the best is that you cant stop the clear of world forests.are doomed to disappear
real faller

Gwab do you have a job? Stop thinking of money.
I guess you don’t understand what they are doing in modern logging!
Go to hell
Thats not a tree its a shy scraper log-cabin, OOORRR a mountain! Wow is there more than one tree and is so where does one finish and the other start?
It doesn't matter. Old growth are a beautiful sight. New growth will always grow around it.
