Paul from Yorkshire , , I,m 62 years old now , and loved wood industry , , we mainly cut timber for pit props for the coal mine,s in the UK , , I,m finding vibration damage to my hands now very painful , , so u guy's need anty vibration gloves , iff possible , , my hands are badly affected , ,pain , , I still love wot u guy's doin , an skills , , ace .
With them sleeves cut off ya think a fella wooda karate chopped that big chunk a junk . 😂, beautiful day . Love wins .
Forgot the hi-vis T shirt so had to cut the sleeves off. That was a fun block, tall wood, clean ground, great crew.
Cutting down that big twisty was very cool to see. Now i know where Lowes gets their fancy twisted 2x4s from! Lol 😆
Best joke yet.
I guess from my time at arb' college in the UK that those big 'fell to waste' trees have to be taken down to safeguard the future crop. Leaving a big nasty tree without wind firm cover is going to mean its fall will be hastened and it will potentially take out a heap of the next generation or even be a hazard to the tree planters that follow who tend to do their work during the nastiest weather. A lot of folk are under the impression every rotten tree is a wildlife safari park but the truth is most are not really home to anything. The rotting lop and top on the other hand produce lots of biological activity and in a few years will be home to countless bacteria, fungi, insects and small mammals that prey on them and in turn the bigger more iconic animals folk associate with such beautiful places such as owls, cats,martens and apex predators. The rotten waste in turn fertilises the new growth attracting deer and so the whole story ends and begins afresh. Clear fell looks bad to outsiders but is really just a new chapter in the book of life. Just the opinion of an older Scottish guy laced with a bit of science. Others may have their own opinions and are of course perfectly entitled to them. Regards to all from Scotland.
👍👍
Goddammit man... it's already half dirt! Lol. It's not complicated...
What he’s trying to say is opinions are like assholes and you all have them 😁😉
You got it figured out buddy. Couldn't have said it better myself
And people often think these trees are centuries old when they're actually 150-175 years old on the upper end. These conifers grow fast. A white oak might only be 20" diameter at 150 years old but these conifers are 3 feet diameter.
Pinched saw, untied shoelace, missed axe swing. You are human after all!!!
When I watched you gettin your bar and chain outta there, I thought of the Marine Corps saying, "Adapt, Improvise, Overcome!" Good job. Didn't lose your cool.
Ya I’ve definitely mellowed out over the years. Screamin, yankin and swearin is just too much energy now 😁
Love your videos I owned at hardwood mill and logging co in Indiana for over 20 years,if you ever get a chance to video the log processing in a mill I would love to see the giants cut up
Excellent Work with such big wood! Great Accuracy! Thanks for the videos!! Hope 2023 is a GREAT year for you and your family!
Absolutely fantastic workmanship. Your saw, wedge, and ax are you friends with your knowledge and expertise. Stay safe and thank you for taking me back to younger years with no where your knowledge. It's a wonder I am alive, but God watches over us.
It would also be nice to explain how camp works as far as your time on, what you do after a long days work, who takes care of your gear and just generally your life leading up to what you show in the timber.
Here’s a link to a video I made on a floating logging camp
ruclips.net/video/8wHNVnHsazM/видео.html
@@BjarneButler that was a cool camp
That's why I always have a couple of backup saws in my car, when making firewood from fallen trees ;-)
Good example of why we 360 a tree before cutting! Good job! the comics pic for that is the little gremlin, 'I didn't do that'!
21.57. WoW! What a beauty... you, standing beside that angelic bended sunray, enjoying your hard work fall. Love the shot.
You make it look so easy. Great video.
That first bunch made me almost crap my pants just watching. Thanks Buddy. Be safe
You are good my friend and the camera angles are perfect. Stay safe.
You are a lucky man to work in such a beautiful place. I call that living the dream.
Just exhausting work
It’s a cautionary tale lol
I feel your frustration
Shit happens, man, but when you realize nobody’s coming to help you out and improvise with the tools you got, that says it all. Thanks for the vids. New sub. Burning through them.
Bjarne” You have one hell of a job.And I commend You on Your work. You have My respect!🎩
What a chore to unstick. PIA fir sure!
You really improve your camerawork, that opening scene were you walk over the logg is amazing. And what an amazing place.
So much firewood. My old Dad would not believe fir this big.
I do believe that's the biggest smile you have ever put on a tree 🤣🌲🪓
morning buddy hope you're having a great day and staying warm up there lol be safe be kind and happy cutting 😊👍.
Wind shake and earth movement did the old Fir in. Best grade is "Y" Another Leveright there log. Good Video Bjarne.
good work
I just found your channel you guy really earn your money, I'm used to east coast logging, the trees we cut for cash, you cut out of your way to get to your wood. Stay safe and don't get too complacent it'll bite you in the azz😮
Great camera shots going home!
Very impressive skills and enjoyable to watch! Subscribed.
OMG…..what a bad day at work!!!!! Best wishes. Thnx for the vid’s
Great work but as some of the other commenters said, we had to leave a much lower stump than you are. I cut in the Roseburg Oregon area in the late 70’s
I put a foamy stack on my 592 and ported the muffler I love it now been falling with it for a month be safe brother
Been there and done it, seen a few bent bars and broken chainsaws.
That's why most folks carry two chainsaws over here.
I'm from the government and I'm here to help....:) Party on Bjarne!
There’s a tool used in ‘aid climbing’ called a funkness. It allows you to hammer outwards and is basically a 20’ steel eye to eye wire that can be clipped to your hammer/axe. Would’ve been handy to clip to your bar there, yank it out!
Nice ride in and out of that unit.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the ride!
very impressive that video, thank again
Seems you enjoy your hard work.
Absolutely, it's always rewarding to see the results of hard work and dedication.
Gotta love renewable resources!
Love your channel. I may be the only one out here that doesn’t understand how you make your decisions on when to buck and how to divide your tree. Would it be possible to explain in more detail about different species, why you buck and how you make decisions you do to maximise value while protecting helicopter pilots. Thanks
He has a pocket chart for species/weights of lengths when scaling, and years of knowledge.
I learned the lesson of watching for falling limbs tge hard way. I cut down a tree, as it was falling i stepped back under a different tree and watched for around a minute till everything had quit moving, i took one step and a piece of wood about 2 inches in diameter and 6 inches long hit me right in the top of the head. This was way back when wearing hardhats was not that common. Chipped my front teeth and gave me a dull headache. Went and bought my first hardhat the next day.
Ouch I’d say you got lucky. Doesn’t take much to get hurt in the bush, it’s surprisingly easy
Don’t we just love those woulda , coulda ,shoulda , days ?!!
BadAss!
Nice!!!
Браво момчино!!!💪💪💪👋🇷🇸
inboard clutch and a side tensioner, great job husky 😉
Husqvarna is known for producing high-quality chainsaws with advanced features such as inboard clutches and side tensioners.
That's the life eh? A snack and a nap waiting for the heli ride home for the day. 😁
Very Cool
Kayu yang sangat melimpah banyak sekali kayu kayu bagus nya
Bravo 😀😄👏 👏👏👏 Πολύ καλός
Good thing your new Husky has an inboard clutch…
At least in urban areas as a residential situation, a big healthy tree is a hazard. Only cause it’s healthy for now, but it’ll be big til the day it falls. It sucks but I often have to remove completely healthy trees because of their size. They’re near houses, schools, in between huge sections of street plumbing, in between wires, name it... and people just don’t get it why it’s so expensive to do this stuff. They really don’t. They see us trim bushes and think that’s all we do lol. But anyways...the bigger it gets, the harder it hits. And it’ll fall eventually.
I concur with your thoughts coming from a lumber back ground that tree is absolutely worthless and should be left for seed and ground retention but rules are rules unfortunately. Hopefully I'm heading to ketchikan next year and logging on prince of Wales Hopefully I can lear a bit more about that ground from a veteran like you love the videos
I like watching how you are cutting huge tree.
Thank you, it's always exciting to take on a challenge and tackle a large tree!
Wow from Maine
Never cut too deep when you have over 10 tons of compression. Just olive oil it a little at a time.
I'm NOT complaining or criticizing your stumps... In my day we could only leave a 12" STUMP and were constantly leaning over.
I love how you're able to stand up and take all that pressure off your back like we had to do. I think it's easier and SAFER to watch the tree too. JUST MY OPINION but I'd loved to have been able to STAND up more and not have to CRANK my neck as far.
I guess Times have changed and if this is the result of BACK BACKS from us Ol' Timers then HURRAY and AWESOME....I seriously doubt it is tho...JUST SAYIN'
Please keep these video's coming Buddy...Appreciate ALL the EXTRA work ( I know it is slowing your cutting down a bit too so there's that loss of income...yeah I see that. ) it takes to show your day with that KICK-ASS SAW...
Sweet
Thanks for showing the pinch. I know you did this video for me and I appreciate it. I know how frustrating it is believe me. I get exhausted trying to get out a pinch but I am 68 years old. You did a great job. I was bucking a 29 inch Red Oak on the low side thinking it was stable. Well it rolled into my leg, my leg was stuck for a second then let go. No more bucking on the low side for me. I got a damage free lesson. Thank you Jesus. Thanks again.
Quality job as usual Bjarne, thanks for sharing 🤙 Did your drivers and bar need any work afterwards? Thanks again, Andy
Cheerrs have good xmas bro.
such a great intro
To watch you book that log in the situation that it is in on a hillside on top of other timber on the low side of the tree scares the hell out of me. I have cut timber for over 40 years and I would’ve never ever gotten underneath that Tree carried too many men out of the brush in a body bag
wow the sound of the first two tree's going over and the holding wood exploding
sounded like a cannon going off 😉👍
Tuff work out there . I felt for you when that damn thing pinched you brother.
That slowmo was like when you crack you back at the kiropractor!!!....hahahaahahhaa
That was a big bucking fir, good thing you brought the big bucking bar. I dunno why those bucking twisted firs exist, what bucking genetic defect they contain. But often times they have perfectly good grain and absolutely no bucking rot but are bucking useless as sawlogs. Bucking shame.
My personal opinion is that left to themselves this forest if u will would keep on growing if we cut it or not but here's the rub if we don't take these trees they will fall over on there own and with the amount or people we have in the world today for every bit of resources we don't use then the young trees will be harvested anyway so without a doubt it's much better to take the old growth while they are still good
There are many factors to consider when it comes to forest management and sustainability. Selective logging can be an effective way to balance the need for resources with the preservation of the environment.
Put this through the surround sound with sub woofer and make your neighbours think you're doing some crazy shit.
Haha, that's one way to make an impression!
Well at least you didnt get squashed ,lol.
Yes, leave the super size and tangled trees standing.
Curious.. maybe you have made a video on it but I have missed it. How often do you sharpen your chains/swap chains? I am falling trees in my backyard and I am finding that I can't go more than a day without sharpening the. That is with a half filled day of cutting, dragging and burning brush.
👋🏻
👋
Wonder how bad the bar rails suffered after being hit with the axe trying to get it unstuck?🤔😱
Ya they can pretty damaged but the bar wasn’t new anymore. To fix it just run the chain loose for 10-20seconds
Always cut your biggest timber first those situation’s always cause bad outcomes. Your saws stuck because the log is Fractured has tiny splinters in it
Franchement respect 💪
Quelle hauteur à peu prés ? 60m
De France 🇨🇵
Brand new saw to
.27 secs beautiful shot. I know you had to walk back for the camera, so thanks for that btw.
There is no greater injustice to a fallers ego than getting your bar pinched.
Lucky you did not damage the BAR
I'm not trying to tell my grandmother how to suck eggs here but if I ever mess up a bar I can almost always trace it back to a time where I've been pinched and been impatient trying to writhe it out like that haha
Previously, on BB: "I fell this walk log for my partner ..."
Today, on BB: "Well, since it's here I might as well use it ..."
:D
Edit; What I find particularly hilarious regarding the clear cut policy - that tree could have continued to produce seed for quite a few more years, speeding up the recovery time for the forest. While that's not a huge issue out in BC due to the ridiculous re-growth rate, it is an issue in my neck of the woods. Due to our climate and soil, trees grow incredibly slow. And yet the gov't allows clear cutting.
In fact, we just had a snowmobiler die and the clear cutting was a contributing factor. There was supposed to be a 'wildlife corridor' / windbreak left intact, and the logging company clear cut it. Dude got into white-out conditions where white-outs never happen.
say what
That’s unfortunate for the snowmobiler. Also I think a lot of the second growth wildlife “patches” or “retention zones” are too small. Because usually half the trees get blown down on the first winter storm
Mr. Butler, please say yes or no if a grizzly bear has ever charged you. Thanks.
Wind shook
BB, on bucking that monster fir could you do a plunge cut 1/3 rd of the way down. That material at the top would prevent it from pinching as you finish the cut out the bottom. Then do an offset cut at the top.
The timber you felled was no where near the size of these trees, and sometimes you can’t fight the lean. High stumps are used on steep slopes to keep the trees in lay. There is regulations on stumps in BC
There was a good sized Birch in the tangle where you dropped the double trees, what is the biggest birch you have come across, as birch in my area never get above 20 inch or half a meter ?
I would never stay on the low side of a trunk pinned like that..felt sad about your chain getting stuck like that..
What caused it to PINCH.....
*was it the location of the CUT,* or the way he CUT it???????
Pinching can occur due to various factors, such as the location and angle of the cut, the condition of the tree, or the type of saw being used. It's important to carefully evaluate the tree and plan the cuts accordingly to avoid pinching.
28:30. Cutting a sloping log (non-horizontal) typically gives rise to the problem of a stuck blade as we see here. That’s gravity at work here! The solution is to cut the log at a slight angle toward the downward-sloping side of the log. That way the gravity will pull the downward-sloping side of the log away from the upward-sloping side of the log, thereby clearing a gap in the cutting side of the saw that will create a reasonable gap for better cutting.
hi will this area of land be re planted, once you have harvested the block. ?
I woulda said idk boss the chain was in the kerf when i got there
So the Crown does clearcutting to maximize profit regardless of what erosion does to the land?
Are these videos from the summer? Those trees are massive, are there ever times when you feel fear when cutting them?
it can get so frustrating when your saw gets pinched.
im guessing you would like a lift up in the S61 Bjarne 😀
Ya that woulda been nice 😁
I was wondering why you did not fall that tree first it seems to be very large, falling that across timber did more damage to the trees that were already on the ground
Do you get paid for the day or tree on these forest stretches
