[@navydogsadventures3500]

The ground was steep but just like walking in a park to me. Love the country up there.

[@davefran01]

Damn Bjarne can't you get a real JOB 😅 ? You and your dad have had the privilege of working in the bush, I'm old and I know I would never have survived being a faller, I was too impulsive as a young man. Thanks for taking us to work with you !

[@als1023]

A 206 can work 1500 lb loads approx. that is considered a small machine here in BC.

We are going to need a bigger power wedge

[@samohtw1]

Do you guys carry ripping filed chain for making boards?

[@leonardryan8723]

No just regular chainsaw chain . 😊

[@billbezzant3033]

Hey Bjarne, nice work on the helipad, and great videos as always. I wonder if you would show us how corks work? How they take regular boots and cork them, and how do you keep them sharp? Do you file the points? Are the points replaceable with new sharp ones? Do you throw your boots away when the corks get dull (unlikely)? Thanks again!

[@BjarneButler]

Hi Bill. The corks are replaceable. 🤙

[@SasquatchBunyan]

Curious if non-cedars can be used for the heli pads? Seams that the value of cedars compared to others would make them much better to log out if you can.

[@BjarneButler]

Yes we’ll make pads from other species but cedar is preferred because the pad lasts longer. It could be years before the tree planters come. And years later for the forestry engineers to come back and use it when looking for new blocks

[@jasonpauls4422]

How much would you charge if a company was thinking of asking you to come do a steep slope job for heli it's a boat in and out job that we need a steep slope guy who knows his stuff for heli falling

[@BjarneButler]

Depends but around $850. Who’s paying accommodations and food?

[@robertodebeers2551]

I think you'd save a lot of work if you built your helipads out in the open on nice flat ground.

[@8bitgubben]

If you do that youd have to hike up the mountain

[@robertodebeers2551]

@@8bitgubben Darn. That's right. Or, we could just fish one of those icy rivers.

[@AndyL940]

Great job 👍 You do a dangerous job and I respect a man feeding his family however I don’t like to see those beautiful old trees fall . Bit sad
