Man, I tell you, I really enjoy your videos. It is such a pleasure watching a man that knows what he is doing, and damn good at it too. Thanks so much for making these wonderful videos. Be as careful as you can and be safe.
I’ve seen some of your bucking vids. Please do some more of those massive hazardous trees. Super cool. Your about the best there is. For sure my favorite on YT. I love my guns about as much as I love watchin you fell trees. Thanks brother. 👊
I've just dropped 2 7'-8' diameter through the but old man pines down here in New Zealand. Taking my time, watching a master like you, it's all worked out. Thanks for taking your time and effort filming this. First time I've ever seen you gas up ...thats a good saw. Winters the best time to work down here, I recon its twice as productive. As long as there's no frost or rain. Where my trees are there's no way you're going to get your truck out towing a trailer of firewood if its wet or has frost melt.
@@BjarneButler All pinus radiata pretty much., ( think its a Monterey pine child) there's a research outfit thats been growing them for growth and form for years ... not sure when these were planted but they are getting on. They are big ugly brutes ... nothing like what you grow in Canada .. big straight timber .. well some of your mountain cedars are nasty big things. Thanks for your ongoing tutorial Bjarne. It doesn't mean someone can leap off the couch, grab an 880 and go do what you do. But it's a great learning tool. Way better people than me have been killed by trees, be careful..take your time is my motto, I'm not religious but I ask every tree I cut down not to kill me.
Wow crazy ,i found your Chanel sice a few days. Very cool and this Cedars are so imprssive, much Higher than trees in Austria. Vng from Tyrol / Austria, Laura ✌️
Massive timber!!! Nothing like that out in Newfoundland when I was in the Forestry game out there!!! We did see some crooked white pine that the English left because it wasn't good for ship masts LOL
Same. Used to be about six hours over here on the right coast. Actually, it was closer to five, give or take. Sometimes it would be a two hour skidder ride in and out.
Makes my day to watch your vids. . Doing what you like. its cool to see I like what I do for the most part but ur a straight up rockstar to me. Kee it up.
Some big trees nice cutting. I started posting videos of me falling on my channel thanks to you. I just ordered a Simington grinder from Madsends. I’m excited to try square ground chain. Stay safe!
@@jfitz9624 I said the same thing till I ran square. It’s another world. But depends on your saw and bar length. For long bar timber nothing beats it. I ran a chain my buddy ground for me for one day and was sold. I’ll grind some up for you if you want.
Good job bud! Love watching big trees fall. I worked in the tree industry for 5 years and miss but I've moved onto building saws. Stay safe out there bud!
"...ya just gotta give 'er a good push." (chuckle) If only I'd known, all these years! Sweater is ordered, and I just gt the notice from Canada Post that it will soon be on its' way! Good thing too. Temps have been regularly going below 0 degrees F., just lately. Next Tues they're saying -14F. Sure hope that doesn't come with much wind! Wisconsin, USA.
It looks like you cut thru a lot of dirt when you are trimming around the base of a tree. I would think that would be hard on the chain? I sure enjoy the videos!
I think it's kinda different that the dirt we're used to walking on. It's more line decomposing fauna, needles and the such which is more like soft compost compared to dirt with rocks and sand.
It would be interesting if you could do a video on how your job is structured What do you supply and what does your employer provide. Do. You sharpen chain yourself or so e
All fallers are self employed, we’re required to supply all our own gear. Company pays for food, accommodations, saw gas/oil and transportation to the job site.
Amazing work as always! Quick question, would you class these trees as old growth ? And if so what’s the reason for felling them Purely for timber production ?
just a question what is your favorite soup of all time???????? sometimes I like a cheesy ham and potato sometimes I like tomato sometimes I like chicken noodle sometimes I like cream of broccoli I will eat any kind of soup as long as it doesn't have mushrooms
Bjarne why do you use a Stihl chain bar on a Husky saw are they better then the Huskys or Oregon style bars ? great videos i really enjoy watching them .
Great job, and a beautiful landscape you work in, Bjarne. One question, your name is Bjarne, do you have roots in Scandinavia? Bjarne is a very normal name in my country, Norway
Yes I was named after my great grandfather who emigrated from Norway in the 30’s I think. He fished for years around Tofino then he built fishing boats when he got older. I have distant relatives in Norway that I’ve seen from old pictures when I was a kid
Bjarne, you've always been good to us with feet and inches. But you said you're "trying to get a 10 7 out of that" is that metric? A 32'? What lengths do your mills want Cedar cut? Our (US) mills want Cedars in multiple lengths of 12 feet rather than 16's for Fir, well Oregon anyways. Nice stumps.
The forest starts to recover right away , as the light reaches the open ground seeds sprout millions like a carpet of trees slowly competition thins them out till after hundreds of years only one tree remains
@@dennisthemenace57 the forest renewal is so fast that within my life time I’m harvesting trees on land l previously clear cut. I’m 61 been harvesting my entire adult life
No I make a steep bottom cut then bore in from the front and cut that piece out then I can see how my cuts line up to one another. Then I can make any corrections if needed and continue cutting at a shallower opening. So it’s not that the second half of the cut is too narrow but it’s the first half that’s extra wide. It also helps in the very big trees because I can then fit my power head inside the cut to reach the middle
I find it surprising on the number of comment that people think there’s dirt on the tree and in the moss. Dirt doesn’t grow up trees. It’s only moss and rotten organic material on the tree. I run skip chain and hand file. I average two filings a day with 3-4 strokes each if I’m in predominantly cedar.
@@BjarneButler- just speaking from my experiences in Southern Indiana (obviously a much different environment). Our moss has dirt and small rock in it from creeks and dirt being blow around in storms. Didn’t mean to upset ya. Keep on cranking out the good content! I’m buying a 390 because of you by the way haha
Standard practice it west. Keep stumps low and you have serious control over the hinge wood. Keeps the butt square which is better for lumber production and it's one less cut overall as compared to a face cut in the opposite direction. I think it goes back to when they were felling the giant sequoia trees with axes. Although I've seen pictures of guys standing in the opposite. face cut. I can't remember the names of the cuts offhand. I know one is a Humboldt
Cedar rare often hollow, the side wood is still good . Sometimes not , they make the nicest clears ( no knots ) they’re interesting to mill you never know what you are going to get
Those big trees will never be seen again. Not by you. You kids. Your grand kids. And even your great grand kids. What are you thinking ? So glib. We need timber. And timber harvest is fine. But not old growth. That was figured out in the 1970’s.
Thought it was figured in the 60’s? Glib? There’s millions of hectares of protected old growth already in BC. We replant here in BC. What is your opinion on the clear cutting of the Amazon that then gets pliers for a palm oil plantation or for cattle grazing or turned into a corn field. They don’t replant there. BC has some of the most strict logging practices in the world.
I think it’s crazy how many people believe the narrative that there is not much old growth left. I work in a large log primary breakdown sawmill & my job along with hundreds of my co-workers is in jeopardy because of all this disinformation. Keep ‘em coming Bjarne! I still have awhile before retirement! 👍🏽 The town I grew up in is now a ghost town because the mills shut down. Wood is a natural renewable resource and can have a beauty unmatched by other building materials.
It has no form, beginning to rot and yet has salvageable wood that pays towards the future upkeep of the land. If left to fall when rotted out there is no harvest, no funds going forward and no incentive to manage the available resources in a sustainable way.
Sad to see these giants fall. I understand it takes a lot of experience and skill and I appreciate the art of falling, but these old stands ought to be left alone.

Lol
That face is laser!! That wood is really nice to work with. Chips out like redwood
Nice stumps indeed.....and I did see that slab break off and fall as she was going over! Thanks for the vid!
Ya that was a good call to cut from the far side just in case it did break off
You Sir are an Absolute Joy to Watch!!
Cool. Thanks for watching
Good job brothah. Hoofin around the mountain in the snow up north here all big hammers too
It's like in the far cry game, nature is awesome 😁
Great video!
Great stuff.. Like your method of setting the "notch/wedge"... Thank you
You make it look easy. Stay safe! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
You are on another level. You make it look too easy.
You really show your skills when you use the tip of the bar to cut the face in!

Yes it’s old growth for the lumber industry
Thanks for the vid Bjarne! How long's your day? I used to put in six hours on the saw...
6.5 on the saw
just a question what is your favorite soup of all time???????? sometimes I like a cheesy ham and potato sometimes I like tomato sometimes I like chicken noodle sometimes I like cream of broccoli I will eat any kind of soup as long as it doesn't have mushrooms

Hi, which of the 4 chainsaws do you prefer 372 XP, 390 XP, 395, 572 XP I want to buy one but I can't decide, which one do you recommend?
I prefer the 572 over the 372. The 390 over the 395. You can cut anything with the 572. The 390 would be for big bars 36”+ or milling.
Link for the cool wool sweater?? My husband really wants one!!
Check out woodboss.ca. I got about 15 left in XL only
How long is it gonna take before the forest starts to live again? It seems quite a destructive activity
The forest starts to recover right away , as the light reaches the open ground seeds sprout millions like a carpet of trees slowly competition
thins them out till after hundreds of years only one tree remains
It is how the forest restores itself, it needs to be cut down. You won't be around to see if it is working though

Why you're leaving that step half way in the face cut? Is that to get it higher up the hill?
No I make a steep bottom cut then bore in from the front and cut that piece out then I can see how my cuts line up to one another. Then I can make any corrections if needed and continue cutting at a shallower opening. So it’s not that the second half of the cut is too narrow but it’s the first half that’s extra wide.

Ya I do to. I just did that for fun
That was a good size tree there, hey do you ever watch dumb tree falling videos?
Howdy! With all of the dirt you get into with that moss, do you still run full chisel chain or do you some semi chisel to hold your edge longer?

What kind of lumber do they get off the snags.?
A lot of the cedar snags still have valuable wood in them
👍🙂
Just one question Bjarne why do the notch from the bottom ? I'm asking because I don't know
Standard practice it west. Keep stumps low and you have serious control over the hinge wood. Keeps the butt square which is better for lumber production and it's one less cut overall as compared to a face cut in the opposite direction. I think it goes back to when they were felling the giant sequoia trees with axes. Although I've seen pictures of guys standing in the opposite. face cut. I can't remember the names of the cuts offhand. I know one is a Humboldt
That way the bottom hits the ground first so the top is not as likely to bust out
Yes the cut I use is called the humboldt
So would that tree be any good? big hole in the center..
Cedar rare often hollow, the side wood is still good . Sometimes not , they make the nicest clears ( no knots ) they’re interesting to mill you never know what you are going to get
Dark to dark?
What is the board foot loss on the old growth logs??
Not sure what you mean
What kinda bar and chain are you running? I wanna get a bar like that for a 372xp
Stihl 36” with Stihl chain
What kind of wood it is? Is for firewood that tree?
It’ll probably be part of someone’s patio or fence or kitchen table
So no update on what kind of soup it was? Lol.
Haha don’t remember now. It was probably vegetable with ground beef
This in Canada or Europe?
