    Awesome pilot flying in the white out. Every now and then I lost my bearings just watching that and it makes my heart stop for a second. One lapse of concentration and you lose orientation completely of where you are and where you are going

    Beautiful view!! I am a Cnc machinist in Bc, pretty rare I see sunlight half the year!
    Id love to visit such a remote place like this, I do love the woods and smell of cedar
    Ive got a double bit axe behind me that my grandfather used some 50 years ago, but sadly the skill was never passed down to me. nice felling! and stay safe!

    Awesome video Bjarne, interesting how you bring in a back up power head. What maintenence is needed to the saw after a day, a week etc? What weight axe and length of handle do you use? Hell of a day to be flying. Cheers

    • @BjarneButler
      @BjarneButler  3 года назад +4

      General maintenance on a husky 390 is normally fuel filter, chain guards, starter cord and spring, air filter cleaning, throttle cable replacement, sometimes handle bar spring and muffler bolts, inside dog bolts. I use a 3.5lb axe with 28” handle.

    • @BjarneButler
      @BjarneButler  4 года назад +1

      Old military pack from I think Sweden? They used to be common at military surplus stores. And we’re very popular with the fallers here on the coast, now they’re slowly disappearing(wear and tear) as there’s no more left

    Lol I just figured it out, you welded either a bent nail or metal of some sort to your axe head, and it just fits over a hook on the belt... saw it on one of your videos knocking out your under cut... great idea... also are you running a skip chain on that 33

    • @mpccenturion
      @mpccenturion 5 лет назад

      @@@BjarneButler I worked at a place where choppers would come into a Pad. We were right next to a RCMP pad, so the chopper cleared with their tower and called us before they landed. I understood VFR, but chatting with the pilot, he related that he had spent an hour, that morning just flying instruments and he did this every time he was somewhere with a little fog. As he put it, you never want to have something happen, that you have not practised many times. I am East Coast, so the large wood and how you move it is something I have never seen. Thank you, Cheers

    Not exactly VFR...

    • @als1023
      @als1023 5 лет назад

      There are many days on the west coast, that are not exactly VFR, but the terrain is known intimately by the pilots, weather is always moving, so there are patches, opening etc.Flying with a screen is a big change from the old days, before GPS and mapping onboard.
