Could watch this ALL day long. My buddy and his dad were very well respected fallers in the Golden area years ago. Not too many real big trees left in the valley even then. Big wood still came out from the Mica dam area behind Revelstoke though. Big hemlock and cedar, with the occasional stand of fir.
I think this was the first of your vids I had ever seen. Years back. 3 maybe 4 yrs back. I always thought it was a good one. On many levels! Beautiful day, some clever cutting gorgeous trees. And the colour in this one is is very rich! What camera were you using back then? It was picking it up amazingly!!!!
East coast here. Never seen wood like that in person. 36 to 40" was the biggest I ever saw and I was a junior cruiser for a month, back in 79. I hunted on hundreds of acres and saw the same all over. On my own ground, well - most in the 40" size gets blown over. We might have had big wood 400 yrs ago, but candlesticks grew up in place of it.
Never , never turn you back on a tree that is mostly cut up- never. They will start moving with out a sound and by the time you notice shes moving in the wrong direction it can be too damn late to dodge her. it dont matter if your looking for a wedge or lighting a smoke or taking a piss you ALWAYS keep one unblinking eyeball glued to that trunk. I have had a few big ones come off the stump when I was certain they would have sat there til the end of time..that will damn sure take the cockiness out of you.... Felled for 20 years.
You sure work in some very beautiful Country up there !!! I need some good pictures of those kind of spots , the Pacific Northwest always inspires me to do my artwork 🖼 my grandfather used to work up in British Columbia up on the very steep slopes as a helicopter logger back alone time ago !
Sure is. All my footage has been with my phone. I’m going to buy a proper camera for when I get back to work. I’ll be doing r/w for the next shift so nothing very interesting to photo unfortunately
Here in Michigan the timber buyers would expect you to cut where you put your steps and trim the bell for the extra footage. Sometimes I hate cutting hardwood! Be safe brother.
I'm another timber faller from Oregon, long retired. Never see any of these fellows use a Dutchman. Standard part of the trade in my day. I like this guy though, seems to know his tools very well...
You get a lot of crazy tough trees. Most fallers get one tree like this every couple of years and talk about it for the rest of their lives.... if they live.
Hey Bjarne, why do you place your back cut so high above your undercut? I've never cut large cedar like that so I don't know? Do you need more pull wood on the softer trees?
The bigger the tree the height the step. I also have a habit of making my steps higher the necessary. In BC, if your step is lower then your undercut then it’s considered a failed stump. But you can’t get a failed stump on a step that’s too high then necessary.
I'm a professional logger in New Zealand.I don't get why you do the bottom cut of the scarf(wedge) upwards?It is a lot of extra time and energy for no benefit
Standard practice in BC especially on steep terrain and the mills prefer a square butt. Makes removing large wedges easier on big trees. Butt of tree hits ground first.
No way, we only use 390’s. Because modified 390’s already have great power to weight ratio and have enough power to get any job done. Also, the 395’s have an outside clutch, so if you stuck with the bar buried right up to the dogs then you can’t take the power head off to put your spare bar on. So the only way to get power head off is to chop your chain with your axe.
Nice job pal, that 3-9-0 sounds good. You run a 36 mostly or 42 inch bar, and how do you like that tsumura light weight bar? I've been trying to find a good light weight bar other than oregon in a 63 gauge but that seems to be harder than I feel it should be on the U.S. west coast
Woos 31 I use a 33” tsumara. I’ve tried just about every bar out there except a stihl bar and tsumara’s are the best. Cannon bars are good too but they’re not lightweight.
@@BjarneButler boy I was over shootin a bit on the bar length, I haven't tried any bread of lightweight bar as of yet but trying to get some different ideas from guys about what they like. I'm not in the production falling game so I really don't need a high end bar, just looking to reduce weight on my low back being bone on bone already at the ripe age of 31. Everyone has their banged up stuff on the carcass, I'm trying to go at it smarter instead of harder which is difficult when you're programmed with a strong back and a weak mind lol. Safe cuttin out there
Ya it’s a fun job, most of the time. No customers to deal with, no coworkers to work with, just me and my saw. I get to see some amazing stuff and take awesome chopper rides too
@@jeffreymccarty1388 he is not really dumb. all he is saying is do we really have to butcher such nature and tbh im on his side. whilst i admire your outstanding skills a still wonder at the destruction we humans are rendering on this planet. i think and hope our reckoning will come one day.
Let's observe the land. You took the most vulnerable tree when there was plenty left for the picking. Your employer would have had plenty of timber even if that was left. I climb for the tree and fall for the customer. Just different views I guess. ✌ I have a passion, you have a job. I do all my work for people that cannot afford it. Be safe keep your eyes up
@@jasonsouthwick621 Thank you for posting this comment, I was troubled by the falling of this beautiful ceder whose genetics are necessary for the forest to survive. I did not know how to comment on this without being seen as a tree huger. It is ashame that a forest has no value to The Timber industry until it is fallen. We will all pay for this behavior as The Earths natural cycles are inturupted by this short sited behavior. I can here all the do you like your timber framed house comments allready. I do and i milled my lumber out of 50 ring per inch understory Fir. That will be used for my home , i am building myself.
You leave trees in a clear cut like that youll probably be walking to the next job ya can find i have a tree business amd am in no way a production faller ive had plenty of people just not like the tree amd want it down so its either do it get the work amd provide for my family or refuse then a week later drive by and see the tree gone anyway
Amazing work sir. Beeauuutiful Pacific North West scenery.🌳💚👍👊💚🌳

Thanks. The rough terrain keeps you on your toes and keeps the day interesting
You have an incredible ability to adapt to any situation.

My wife and I where out in that part of the world , loved the big cedars, shire would have loved watching you cut one of those beautiful trees down.
You have a way of

How do u get it out of there? Where are u at? Def rough terrain to cut timber n. Allot of wind to b cuttin n.
This was a conventional logging job. Road access. Ya the terrain sure made falling a challenge. Just make it more fun
I do like your axe holster
Thanks it’s homemade
Its a 390xpw heated handles. Do u buy ur own stuff, boots, saws, etc?
Yup. We’re all independent contractors

Get you a big dutchman in it. Clear path nice work flaired outbasterds.iam a fourth generation timberfaller from oregon stay with it

Which model husky is that? Also, what kind of wedges are you using. I’m not a pro and mine don’t hold up. Thanks for any help
390
Your passion for your work is truly infectious.
Your ability to work collaboratively and build strong teams is truly impressive.
Dude. What a job.
The axe head is mushroomed out. Should that be ground a bit for your safety?
It’s actually 1/4 inch round stalk steel welded to the sides so that I have a bigger surface area to hit the wedge
You have an incredible sense of humor that always brightens up the room.

@@dlawless2116 Cheers for clearing that up! But still seems like too much extra time and energy.I'm too stuck in my ways I guess :)
@@johngraham8893 No problem. It's called a Humboldt if you didn't know already. I find it's faster and safer than conventional.
Also if you cut it the other way you’re taking wood from the log, waste essentially. Take it from the stump,no wasted wood😎
@@Whateva67 That too.
Is that a 395 or a 3120 great saws id rather a 395 in your case bouncing around in woods all day but in back yards you cant beat that 2120 for bower

great video and just curious - are those cowboy boots he is wearing?
Haha nope. They’re essentially steel toed gumboots with caulks
Viking steel toe kevlar front caulk sole.. I've got the same ones

I would have walked away from that beautiful specimen. You took it like a trophy. That's not what a true true logger would do.

I feel like it’s bad luck to cut down nature
Will it also be bad luck for the millions of customers buying said nature for their patios, fences and siding?
