The Swanson worked perfectly, the butt sliding off the stump and hitting the ground first. Really slick.
Most people have no clue to how hard of work this is you are great at it 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I like the way you talk through how you're going to fall each tree Bjarne. It's a different scenario to get each tree to fall where you want it to lay, working through all the calculations and possibilities figuring out every angle of the dangle to safely fall every tree has one's mind working overtime.
A good call to put a Swanson on the butt, wow, those views are magnificent, cheers, for the beaut reel Bjarne.
Info like this is always a good idea to expand our knowledge of the deed. Well said bud. In 40 years I only had 2 get away on me and only one barber. Slow and steady wins that every time my friend.
I am a logger through and through, love my cutting job and area, but your scenery has mine beat big time, thank you
“The mountains in the distance. . .” Yowza! Good one. Thanks. watchin that one twice👍😀
Watching you fall is like watching Babe Ruth pick where the next homerun will go. Watch out for Bigfoot😮 looks like your working in his neighborhood 😊 Thanks for sharing as always stay safe.
Bjarne, having your thought process is invaluable, especially for us far less experienced arborist dudes. Thanks man. Also, that Husko sounds just awesome, nearly as pretty as that valley you`re felling in. Work safe brother.
Chuckle, that saw is a HUSKY. Generally a great choice for falling and I use a Sthil for bucking. Stay safe and have a great day learning fo fall big wood. I promise you will get a rush every time it is a successful day. Only thing I get now is silence as I am too occupied to hear it land. Having a profesional go through the process with you will extend your lifetime a lot EH !
@@TomokosEnterprize Haha! Excuse my bit of `doggo lingo` mixed with saw lingo. I like dogs and saws. What can I say! But yeah, Huskys for felling and Stihl for up there, the canopy dwelling deviants. I`m looking forward to more big trees, when I can get them. Happy felling my man.
@@twobyfour My days as a big wood faller were over 3 years ago when I lost my R leg messing with a loaded truck blew a corner and hit me dead on. That and now pushing 70 I figure I should just behave my self eh. Sthil makes the best top handle saw going. All the climbers I know use the 200. Tough little saw for sure my friend.
@@TomokosEnterprize Damn my man, that`s incredible. "Here by the grace of God" and all that. Stay safe, but don`t behave yourself too much, there no fun in that.
@@twobyfour Never know what a new day will bring. Always do something new when I can. I pour silver now. Stop by if you like.
Awesome video as usual, I like a more open face cut, be it Humboldt, conventional or some where in-between; with a little high wood on the back cut to push the tree off the stump out here. ( all hardwood ). Please consider a fresh fuel filter on that saw, discovered recently mine sounds like that when they are beginning to plug. Start , idle nice, a bit lean at the end of a long cut. Favorite channel on RUclips right here :) And thank you for sharing your world. Awesome stuff.
I have had a filter mysteryally plug on me over 35 years and both happened happened with the back cut 1/2 way. Fortunately they were not heavy learner's.
I had to pause at 8:00 That undercut while hanging out in space, back-cutting.. was impressive to say the least. The wedge fell out in one piece leaving a big happy smile on the tree. I have a 592 with a 42" bar that I bought off of a logger on Bowen Island. I wish I would have got it "Walkerized" when I lived in Nanaimo. Now I live in Alberta and people ask why I have such a ridiculously long bar on my saw. I tell them it's because I'm getting old and don't like having to bend over when I'm cutting wood. PS: I had Erikson fly one of my excavators across an inlet once.
Excellent video and perfect timing 😊 Thanks for sharing, amazing job you have. Keep safe 🙏
Beautiful scenery! Thank you for sharing your experience. Stay safe.
That swanson worked perfectly!
What an office view! Excellent work my friend.
Love your stuff....Here on east coast of Can we can only dream of this sized timber but the techniqe, safty attitude and gruelling work is much the same stay safe
Pohon yang sangat besar , serta pengambilan gambar yang sangat bagus , sehingga membuat kita sebagai penonton suka
You need to buy a drone Bjarne on your days off. Then you'll get even more epic shots of your kick ass job. Great show today
Das wäre dann die Kirsche auf der Sahne😅👍❤️
Butyfully done , awsome as usual . BIG BIG THANKS for the AWSOME videos ya put out ..
The tree Swan diving to the ground the branch also swanning towards you as you Swan glided to safety. Awesome out take on this video Bjarne
Nailed the Swanson!! Explanation right on, execution flawless!!
Nuttin like a high powered spotting scope to get you into places miles away..check out the more rocky ledges, with less snow and ya might spot some goats
I fell my first tree at age eleven…what a thrill…now nearing age 67 it’s still a thrill. When I’m home with Jesus someday I’ll ask: how many trees ( in lower and upper Michigan, Illinois, Missouri, Alaska and Wisconsin) did I cut over my lifetime? Love your uploads thanks Bud from Green Bay Wisconsin
Classics Fell. No Dutchman and side slope to keep shattering to a minimum. Nice job bud. Sub'd ya !
Thanks 🤙
You make it look easy
Cool concept thanks
Impressed with the expertise! Very well Done.
Excellent job BJarne but it had to slide down the mtns before hitting the ground . SAFETY FIRST and SAW IN THE WOOD 🪵. A lot off Canadian 🇨🇦 look 👀 up 🔝 to you falling timber buddy . Hand 🖐 down great scenery beautiful timber go into our home from WEST TO EAST ! 😊
Well done 💪🌲
Anyone else notice the “face” in the mountain side from 17:12 - 17:20 ish. Really cool how that looks, eyes, nose, high cheeks and mouth. In NH we had the old man of the mountains rock formation and honestly this one looks more like a face to me! Great video as always Bjarne!
Nice job... love the videos Bjarne, from SE Texas Bear :)
That was pretty amazing the way you followed your wedge cut around, I've never seen that before, really steep terrain up there......k
Worked good
The Swanson cut seems to be a variation of the “open face” cut that is usually used for high quality hardwoods in the East. As a New England cutter that almost always uses some type of open face cut, I am often surprised at the relatively tiny opening that most western loggers use on their undercut. Always interesting to see how things vary from place to place.
I've noticed that too. It's like a tiny narrow wedge
Same, but have you ever tried it-and by that I mean the humbolt more than a handful of times. Turns out it works just fine, even with our hardwoods. Which made me rethink always wasting so much time cutting such a large wedge. I’ll grant you it’s always better, but often not needed. Imagine what cutting a 45 or more conventional notch 20% bigger on this huge cedars would mean for fuel conception, chain and saw wear, and time. It’s quantifiable, I’m sure, but suffice to say a lot. That said, can cause you some trouble if you need to wedge and it starts to close up, but then that’s when you go bigger.
Always thought your eastern face cuts were too shallow, but I don’t cut eastern hardwood
that thing slid!
With your new mic the saw sounds good at low RPM. But when you rev her up it sounds like a big long fart. Awesome videos. Thanks Buddy
Always called that a kicker , to break the hinge and jump the tree out from the stump. A small limb laid in the face does the same on smaller trees.
I like that we can hear you, but man that saw sounds awful through that new mic. I’m sure you’ll switch things up next shift on the hill. I hope so anyway because I love hearing the old Husky rev through the valley. Cheers, and as always tremendous work.
Dunno if its me but that saw doesent seem like its revving fully right, just a little off, and its running on when coming back to idle, mabee altitude ? Cheers great vids Bjarne stay well
That chainsaw in the back ground
Swoosh! 👍
That cut worked out pretty well. I didn't see any bigfoot. Keep looking. Lol
ever seen any strange things out there in the wilderness?
You could really see the Swansons cut let the butt drop off closer to the stump.
👍👍👍 thumbs up Bjarne, Question, on the camera the rock by that tree
looked blue 🤔 what was that ?????????
The white spot is a crashed Allen space ship lol
Who ever taught you did a hell of a job
We all learn something new every day, if a cutter every stops learning, usually we stop.
Are the butts of those big cedars banded to keep them from slabbing when the tree hits the ground?
At 15:45, when the word "That's" is being said between the words "bluff" and "all white"... is that a dolphin that appeared at the bottom right?
Use the , and . keys while paused to step frame by frame.
Hey Bjarne! I was watching one of Donny walkers videos and he mentioned your dad does faller training courses? If so what is his school name? I’m looking to get my fallers ticket
I dont see how those Evergreen trees can get that huge by hangin and growin on a steep slope like that.
Why are all these trees left standing below right away
Something sounds wrong with the tune of your saw ,Brother?
Its bouncy
@BjarneButler May I ask which kind of boots you use? Are this the Meindl loggers from hoffmanboots? :D
Yes their Meindl’s from Hoffman boots
Thank you very much for sharing! @@BjarneButler
Was that a bigfoot?
Awesome video once again Bjarne your videos are excellent but your new MIC is not working good at all your voice sounds fine but the saw sounds badly distorted and it's bad to listen to infact the volume needs turned all the way down please return to your old MIC ASAP, take care buddy ❤️🤙😎🌲🪵🏴
Morning buddy hope you're doing well and staying warm. And srry to say it but dam the new mic and audio isn't as good as your old mic is listening to the saw at a high rpm is burtal. where the old mic had no problems making everything sound so clear and crisp just saying otherwise have a great day.
👋🏻
Hmmm
iS ALL THIS GROUND CLEARED AND REPLANTED WITH FRESH SUSTAINABLE GROWTH
Wtf all caps ya we know you’re a tree lover
Quit yelling!
Generally this kind of country grows back naturally. And in a hurry I will add. The home place I was born and raised on has been logged off twice in my lifetime.
Its a good thought you had, but humans would have to spend a ton of money to stop it from growing back in the first place. The majority of North American forest is regrowth, much naturally regenerated. There are more areas forested than before European settlement, but make no mistake there was forest management being practiced well before that. Read "1491" by Mann. Sustainability is a concept humans came up with. Those wildfires this summer? Part of the process. Pretty much any "pristine" view of coniferous forest you see was cleared off or burned clean at some point. You cannot preserve a forest, it is dynamic, not static. Just has slightly different time frame than our lifespans. Mother Nature was doing this long before a human had any hand in it.
@jeffcampbell6314 there is a 40 acer piece of ground next to me that my grampa said he seen it clear cut 3 times in his lifetime. Pretty amazing if ya think about it
Is that how you will look for Bigfoot...
