This goes beyond skill; this was art. Explaining what you are aiming to do, why you are trying to do it, showing it being done, then explaining why it was a success or why you didn't get the results that you were aiming for, is fantastic. A true artist at work. Thank you. Stay safe.
Bjarne you out did yourself on this video. Thanks for the awesome content
Wow, what a place to work. Being from the UK i rarely see trees in your videos small enough to compare too, let alone that landscape. Good work too, it's refreshing to see there are still people who just get on with the job instead of moaning about manual handing/H&S
A great watch from New Zealand thanks.
Brilliant opening shot. Another great video. Thank's Bjarne, these give me a great break from the wife watching fake reality tv. Regards from Scotland.
👍😉
Lol ya some reality shows these days are just ridiculous
As a seasoned hardwood timber feller, I can genuinely say that you guys have the best job of all the fellers in North American. Not necessarily the easiest but the big timber is every fellers dream.
Watching this hearing the saws ripping and trees falling in the distance, reminded me of the Red Green show. Great work as always and remember Bjarne, as Red would say, if women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.
Stay safe
I love the Red Green show
After a day's climbing , this is a pleasure to watch, thank you 😊 🙏
This is crazy and I don't know how I ran across your channel but it doesn't matter. I literally sit around and watch you cut huge trees! Super entertaining my man, you actually have a back for filming and RUclips. So many people on RUclips want to be great RUclips and their content may be interesting but if they're boring on camera, nobody is going to stay entertained long. Your awesome videos warranted a long comment bud, God bless ❤️
Another brilliant video and a whole new meaning to taking your chopper to fell a tree, good bit of piloting.
I liked watching the tree move into frame as you wedged it at 45min. It’s amazing how far it moved before it fell.
I really like as much heli stuff as you can share. That part of what you do is fascinating to me. Thanks.
i love these long video's i can just sit back and relax after a day work, it's like watching a movie of logging and i learn something from it that i can use when i am cutting down trees!! keep up the good work bjarne and thanks for the vids 👍💪
Best Show on TV as Usual!!!!! Can't wait to see the Big Dog 592!!! Mine is Brilliant and only on the 2nd tank!!!!
WOW at 46:46 the camera angle was just right to see the tree move with each hit of the wedge : amazing , good job Bjarne 👍👍😉😉
Love this we've been royally treated this week to 2 instalments of Bjarne's beautiful piece of the world 😊 (feeling privileged)
The sun shone, your axe is still in one piece, your 572 was cutting like a demon and trees fell where you wanted them to - what's not to like ? 😊
15 mins of fame became a 2 hour special - thank you very much for brightening up my Saturday Bjarne 😊
Great vid Bjarne, nice wood and bluebird days! Love it!
At 1.20 hrs thank you for all your stuff for us sitting in front of our iPads,cheers man, take care
I like the way youi point out the dangers in placing the tree in the wrong direction and then when you buck them the dangers that can happen WELL DONE
From one Timberfaller to another. Great job. 👍
Thanks Bjarne you've taught me a skill i was unaware of! The way you do your undercut is so obviously the best especially on bigger timber! Ill be practising it for sure! Cheers from Tasmania 😊
Your best yet. Long but super. The content of the view and placement of the music was very well thought out. Keep them coming, I feel that the videos will get better 🤙👏🏻👏🏻 stay safe. 🙏
As an East Coast guy, I wouldnt mind seeing more of the "smaller trees" as you say, because those "smaller trees" are bigger than 99% of the trees we cut over here 😂
Used to go riding in vih s61 in dean channel after day of tree falling. The impact of trees through the long line caused a lot of jarring to the airframe. We were doing a water drop. I was hooked on the uphill speed going back for another turn of logs. I lasted maybe 2 cycles as passenger in the back,those machines are like being in a roller coaster. I had a 7ft 8 in spruce 13ft 6in long that they launched off the hill and guided it down to the water. We called that wood popcorn spruce. Vih said that was the record log they ever flew at the time.Sure do enjoy these videos! Brings back a lot of fond memories
When i was in my prime, around 19/20 i was a stacker for 2 years with a troup who felled 2"-16" for pulp....Anything over 16" was used for pit props. I loved it!! was brutal in the winter, but the summer months was brilliant!! start at 6 an get 6/7 tanks in, earn a real good wage........I enjoy watching these kinda vids, takes me back to the joys of 30 yrs ago..
One of the coolest channels on RUclips
That is unbelievably beautiful,was a feller for about 10 yrs good honest money,and I felt like I just got out of boot camp,lots of close calls,a lot of luck and a pretty good understanding of physics lol, that wood looks heavy, always hated felling uphill and sometimes unavoidable that was good idea, keep your chain spinning boys,watch your top notch and put em on the landing
Love the new format!
Another great video. I miss judged the lean on a good sized white oak yesterday and the tree leaned back on my bar. A good pinch. I placed my tractor about 100 feet in front of it an used my Farmi winch to pull the tree down dropping my saw. No damage thank God. Love your videos. I learn a lot from you. If and when you get a pinch I would like you to show how you get out of it. Thanks again. Thanks for the back cut shot.
Jeez I’m not sure you should be falling trees….. get yourself some falling wedges, you can google what they are, start a wedge in your back cut as soothing as possible, that will probably save you from it sitting down on your bar, unless you’ve severely misread the lean
@@griggbaylee5808 LOL… ok
Nice of them to chopper-in the musicians for this episode. Very pleasant ambiance in the woods!
It’s good to master our craft. Stay safe my brother
Bjarne, you need to show us how you file your chain sometime. I would be interested in how you like yours cut and what shape you file.
Ok I’ll make another video on filing
Nice ,teach the youngsters tricks great set of videos
Always good to see big timber, don’t get tall and fat in West Virginia . Thanks again for info on radio coil ,. KEEP IT UP !!!
Wv ✌️
that helipad would make a good start / spot for a cabin !! magnificent views
Finally I catch a video with helicopters in it! Super cool!
Mr Butler ,from one timber cutter to another.,your office has a nicer view than mine lol be safe bud.
Its great when you explain falling strategy and bucking strategy
Oldie but goodie logging prank: Buy some cheap perfume and sneak a 1/4 teaspoon in your partners bar oil reservoir.
It's when their wife is doing their laundry when the real fun starts.
Ooo that’s a good one. I used to sneak small rocks in the bottom of my partners bag. Another was a roll of trail ribbon tied under the bumper. And putting their chain on backwards.
I’m gunna a ask about prank ideas on Trigvi tomorrow, there’s gotta be some other good ones out there 💪
Watched the whole video and visited the website! Thanks for the videos. I like to see professional fallers using something other than a Stihl. Found you because of afleetcommand FYI.
Those pilots have courage to spare... Wow. I never thought i'd see something like that!
Love watching this stuff reminds me of my ole man
Slow mo is sweet keep making stumps b safe brother
Good one. Thanks
The helicopter rides dont get old ..i wish you would show them all
ol Bjarne "Dead Eye" Butler is slayin them aint he!
Good video, thanks for sharing
Now that is some amazing flying skills! Well done!👍
Watch out for them bigfoots. Impressive work!
Great tree felling well done
13:25 the most beautiful firewood i've ever seen
Got the bullbucker woolsweater
Killer man awesome
Awesome glad you like it
That was so cool!
…the heli smash…
Love the video !! Wonder if you guys ever run semi of full skip chain on those longer bars. Cutting that fir at the 20 minute mark man the number of times chain stall …. Stay safe
Impressive as usual. You call that small wood? Ok, still fun to watch.
There’s nobody who has videos like this. Nobody is even close.
🫵🏻 You are Awesome!!
Cool thanks
Well by god you've got the coolest vidjas!I watch them a million times lol..I'm still curious about the 592 though?Ya waiting for bigger wood or waiting on the saw itself?I'm a stihl guy as ya probably know lol but I think that saw is gonna eat some wood..Awesome job and look forward to more vidjas!Stay safe and grab ya a stihl lol..
Thanks for watching. The 592 video should be out on the 26
Awesomeness 👌!
💙
awesome videos to watch,
i did this kind of work back in early 2000 in my mid 20’s .
dropping snags on siesmic lines for heli drilling in tumbler ridge bc , i acually got my first fallers certification in tumbler ridge out in the field , my qst’s name was richard banner i believe , iv also worked a guy named richard butler , maybe u know him ?? awesome guys to work with ,
all those project’s was heliportable , awesome view’s in tumbler ridge area ,
Ya Richard Butler is my dad. 🤙
awesome , i figured there be a relation there , right on, stay safe out there bud , falling timber is a very dangerous job , 100% mind on task that’s for sure ,
And just when we thought you couldn't out do the last video's you build this one. Wow. Is that an old sikorsky? Looks like an old Coast Guard helicopter
Ya it’s a Sikorsky 61 🤙
Subscribed 😊
I ordered really sharp looking red / blk snap back hat !
does your saw ever not start...lol....like watching!!
They need to paint that claw safety orange so you can see it better !! 🤔
Amazing skill👌👌👌
Axe throwing tip: ..throw the same every time ..only change your distance ..so if you miss , dont change the throw style ..be constintant with whichever style you have and just move closer or farther
Expensive snag!
the music was sick!
Nice that’s awsome.
Awesome few days on the job Bjarne I'm curious does the company supply your food while at the camp or do you have to buy it at a local store
When I’m working in camp everything is provided. I’m just required to supply my own gear like PPE, saw, axe, wedges, radio etc
Its been a long time since I cut a big tree down, I would love to get back into the woods and make some sawdust
Do you take a few sharp chains for a days work and use them up, to save time sharpening?
Wow Two birds with one stone. 👍hell yeah.
Your camera is very good ..Im curious what camera it is
Hi from Germany, seems like you are happy with Husqvarna equipment, are they sponsoring?
whats the purpose of putting an angle to your wedge cut, help in direction of preferred fall?
Amazing
nice placement at hour 1:14
good Job
I flew that RMH in the arctic for a while. Lol
Skillzz🤣👍
nice view
do you have the video showing the transportation all of this cutting? it will be challenging due to slope terrain. thanks
A little persuasion tap, works all the time.
Bjarne can you tell me why you prefer sthil bars on husky saw ? Thanks
Hello just curious how br footage is in one of them tall trees like the Fir you fell up the hill somewhat above the double stump
It seems like the grapple takes to long vs having someone rig the load.
They usually just use the grapple to grab the juicy ones that are heavy enough to fly single, later a. ground crew puts together the turns for Exact maximum weights using chokers,
👍👍👍
Question 2. How heavy would these trees be?
1.29.00 stacked up like cord wood!
A question. I am not a tree faller, but I do cut a lot of firewood (Oak) here in France. How do you get all that wood off the mountain?
Have you ever had to spend a night in the field because a helicopter couldn't pick you up due to weather or mechanical failure? Hey, thanks fo the videos!
I haven’t but I know a few guys that have. We have overnight kits at the pad during winter, just in case
I was just wondering, do you have to pay for the gas and oil for your saw, or does the employer pay for that?
Nope. Fuel is provided
Is this Barkley Sound?
Hi from northwest Missouri in USA I was just wondering why cut the tree 🌴 of so hi leaves 2to4 feet of stump
The high stumps are to hold the logs on the hill so they won’t roll. Having to chase after a log wastes time and bucking below already bucked wood is very dangerous
@@BjarneButler I understand now was thinking that you was leaving stump here we cut as close to the ground as possible where the best wood grain is may I say air you are a true mountain man
how do they take out thse logs , once cut ???
so where are you working ???
Wow that's an expensive snag to get on the ground. Surprised that pilot would attempt that. What if that cable got wrapped around a big limb or something...
There is quick releases the pilot can use if need be. Better to be safe then cheap
@@mke6445davis Dynamite or ANFO would have been a better choice.
It's good to have a heli nearby to do the work. In the old days and today with no heli, you would have to blow it down with a tree from up above, sometimes 2.
Ya not all pilots will do that, especially on video, lol
Love the videos, but I wish they were more digestible. 2 hours is so heavy. 25 minute would be sick.
Sounds like I’m there. I ran the audio through my stereo system and sub
Cool. I’m gunna get a proper mic soon so it’s gunna get only better 🤙
@@BjarneButler it sounds pretty amazing as it is. When the tree starts to creak, it sounds just like I’m there
I wonder how easily can the copter free itself from the cables? Seems like that log could become entangled with the snag pretty easily
Beautiful country. Reminds me of Oregon but on steroids
That must feel sketchy as hell in that chopper when that log hits the snag
Right🤷♂️
