Always impresses me, how you guys falling that big old growth are so accurate on the undercut, especially on a slope like that where you’re standing in awkward positions. Good video & nice scenery to boot
Great to hear from you my friend. I have only one thing that comes to mind after seeing this....."And that Folks is how that is done!" Stay Safe buddy.
As you said nice, and yes very good jacket. I work in and around harvesters and being seen is most important so always looking for something better , keep us up to date on getting any more done ?
My Dear Mother, if she had her way, I'd be wearing Hi-Vis clothing from head to toe, 365 days a year.😜 I guess she thinks if I fall out of a tree, I'll get found faster.
This is easy, you cut that way and that way,after you cut that way and that way....easy watching on UA-cam with a beer 🍺 great job New stuff from husquarna nice shirt😎👍🍺
I find this very interesting I'm curious to know the saw you use. This may sound like a silly question to you I've never fell trees like that why do you cut the stumps so high I'm sure there's a good reason. Thank you work safe
Also, the butress (radically flared section of the stump) would make for an unwieldy log to maneuver, as well as an unwieldy and unprofitable log to mill. The geometry of the milling renders radically flared sections wasteful.

It’s a prototype windbreaker I’m working on. It’ll probably be a couple months before they’re available to buy. I do have a similar hi-vis jacket coming available on Amazon in a couple weeks. I’ve made an Instagram page of your interested. It’s BullBuckerApparel
How is that block logged? Uphill Cable? Nice cedar! Occasionally there will be a solid cedar in the interior, generally thou they are empty as a pumpkin. I question the buncher when they don't cut them at times, but it's better then having buncher shrapnel in your piece.
Hey what chain type and pitch are you running? Your saw just throws out the wood like crazy. Wish you had time to make more videos brother. Take care of yourself.
Bjarne, I love nothing more than watching your videos! I am keenly familiar with logging because of the family I grew up in. I am born and raised in NW Montana. In a place called the YAAK VALLEY. Not much here besides 2 family owned bars / restaurants. And millions and millions of trees 🌲 I grew up in a logging family. Over the years my family has owned from 1 log truck, up to 77 log trucks. Always the same rig. Western Star. Today my family is down to just owning 28 of them. And the various pieces of other, logging equipment it takes to run such an operation. But I digress. I have watched you cut some mighty fine big timber and I’ve always been curious why is it you don’t use at any time, a log jack? Let’s say, one like an original Silvey Jack or a Duff, even though they are out of business. There are other outstanding manufacturers here in the States that make them. Come to think of it, I believe somebody used to make them up in Canada didn’t they?? in the meantime here is some photos of a manufactures tree jack. www.borntragertreejacks.com/?page_id=52#prettyPhoto The, “Borntrager Tree Jack.”
Hi Garland. We do have several tree jacks on the job site but they’re not used that often. We generally cut fairly large enough cut blocks that we can just fall a tree with the lean or push it with another tree. Most of our Jacks are regular 20ton? bottle jacks. The boss might larger ones I haven’t checked.
It’s a prototype I’m working on. I hope to have them available in a couple months. Maybe sooner. I do have a jacket that will be available in a week or two on Amazon. It’s my first time selling my own product so the setup has been slow, I’m learning as a I go
Ya sometimes they can be hard to find again. I’ve even had them get stuck to the tree and as the tree hits the ground they get flung in the air, and usually far sown the hill too. The coat is a windbreaker, the fabric seems water resistant and I sprayed it with some silicone waterproofing.
Ya they got dirty pretty quick. They’re my new favourite pants. Stretchy in the crotch lots of pockets with zippers and Velcro. And built in kneepad pockets. But they have tiny zippered vents so I don’t think they’ll be adequate for the summer heat
bjarne butler Yeah they’re great I wear them myself and have done for a few years now but living in Ireland I don’t have to worry about the heat so much even though we’re having a bit of a heatwave at the moment , did you modify your helmet I noticed some odd looking screws as I too wear that helmet ?
Ya I drilled holes where the screen attaches to the bracket. I found the screen was too easy to unclip from its bracket so I put small bolts in the holes I drilled. Then I put glues on the threads as I put the nut on to prevent it from coming off. Haven’t had a problem since
bjarne butler Cool , great videos by the way I’ve been watching you for quite a while now and although I’m probably a bit older than you I’m always happy to learn from anybody that’s good at what they do 👍🏻
Hi Ryan. Ya some sure don’t hold together. The cedar in the vid mostly saved out. Had a clean break about 3/4 up. This one was angled down a bit to avoid a rock outcrop. A lot of the real big ones nowadays get banded to prevent/limit breakage.
Absolutely no reason for questioning your skills Bjarne
You Rock, Outstanding Sir!
I am really enjoying your videos. Looks like you are having fun out there. Thanks for sharing.
Yup any dry day with a good lunch and straight cutting saw is a good day.
Always impresses me, how you guys falling that big old growth are so accurate on the undercut, especially on a slope like that where you’re standing in awkward positions. Good video & nice scenery to boot
Thanks. Just takes lots of practice
Great job. Keep the vids coming. Really enjoy your work.
Thanks
Beautiful place to work! Great video.
Sure would be fun mapping the soils in that area. Nice landforms. They 'tell' quite a story.
Amazing to see such a great piece of work You are one of a kind. Stay healthy
Always amazing videos from you, great to see your stuff... thanks...
nice one. your always on steep ground and big wood . enjoy your vids.thumbs up
Probably your best video so far, I’m my humble opinion. Great scenery and camera placement.
Cheers!
Whipple
nice cutting bjarne thanks for the post. keep your head up buddy
Will do thanks
It is amazing watching you fell these huge trees. I can fell a 6 inch tree where I want it!!
It’s actually pretty sad
cool scenery. i'm enjoying your vids.
An artist at work
Great to hear from you my friend.
I have only one thing that comes to mind after seeing this....."And that Folks is how that is done!"
Stay Safe buddy.
Thanks Randy. You too, stay safe
*Hi Vis* 👍 👍 👍 I had to wear sunglasses during the video 😎 🌞
Amazing workplace you got there!!!
Lol thanks
Nice save-out with the drive pard! That was purdy
Ya that was a fun block to work in
AT LAST A TRUE PRO USING THE CORRECT PPE
Thanks for the compliment. I was thinking of getting some made up for anyone else who want one. Just seeing if enough people are interested
@@BjarneButler like the red his vis? What's the material?
Epic planning and accuracy
As you said nice, and yes very good jacket. I work in and around harvesters and being seen is most important so always looking for something better , keep us up to date on getting any more done ?
I will. Thanks for watching
My Dear Mother, if she had her way, I'd be wearing Hi-Vis clothing from head to toe, 365 days a year.😜

Yes, that did work out quite well.....Nice!
Nice work and I have to say the background was nice too
You’re a surgeon man! Straight up!
See ya on the west side one of these days! 🤙
first thing to my mind, "what a boss"
Haha awesome thanks
First to see the new video cool looks like your back in the big wood again and your hi vis looks to clean you will have to break it in. Great shoot.
Thanks
@@BjarneButler Seen your cave videos as well cool.
Ya I did have fun checking out those caves.
@@BjarneButler I live in the central B.C in the mountains we have some cedar here to and some caves but they are small some of the cedar are big.
I worked years ago for a month near Blue River. Was told it was an interior wet belt. We had a lot of big cedar but they were mostly hollow
Well done 👏
beautiful face-cutting sequence - you must know Buckin Billy-Ray Smith.
'righty' the ole' ranch hand, cattle driver.
Ya I know who he is but never met him
Amazing work right there
Sweet well done. 👍
perfect shot! Respect!
hi vis looking sharp
Awesome
Man uve got some balls of steel
You make it look so easy?? Beautiful beautiful country there wow!! Curious? How far is it from where your cutting to your "home" thanks
About 2 hours from home. Most work is done in camp though, so it’s a nice change to be on a town job.
The hi-vis jacket looks awesome, goes well with your chainsaw boots. Now I want one too :-)
Wow! That looked like kind of a mess to go buck... Funs over...time to get to work eh? LoL,
Ya the cedar was laying on top of the balsam so I could only buck the cedar.
Nice work!

I believe he uses a husqvarna 372 or 390
May or may not be “walkerized”
That saw to me seemed like the 390 walkerized....?!
@@brananddandi thank you. Very interested. I was guessing he was using at least a 395 or 3120. Either way, he works well with it. Thanke
@@randyrphillips3335 he runs a 372 and a 390. Tell tale "latches" on the rear of the filter cover show he had his 390 in his hands that day. It indeed has been Walkerized.
Nice!!
Where did you get the rain jacket from? Looks nice and light and good hi viz.. ta

@@BjarneButler looks good.. will keep an eye out for when they come out buddy
What's the stick you chopped all about?
Put in the hinge to be able to see it without seeing it more or less.
Yup
Cool trick
What kind of saw u run I kn it's a husky is it ported an how much did I cost u to buy
He usually runs an 390XP.
They cost about 1500cdn.

Ya I’ve seen bunchers cut some pretty big trees. This block is a grapple down hill
Stihl bar on the husky hurt to see 😂
Lol I was wondering if I was going to get any remarks on that.

Hey what chain type and pitch are you running? Your saw just throws out the wood like crazy. Wish you had time to make more videos brother. Take care of yourself.
Stihl chain. 3/8 - 0.063 with a stihl lightweight 36” bar
Is your saw ported or stock?
Hy! HQ 390 xp?

KABOOM!
windbreaker fits good. brand and model?

whats your saw ?
Husqvarna 390
You’ve marred that beautiful landscape forever. Shame on you
Why do the centre of those trees rott out ??
It not uncommon for cedars. Why they do it, I don’t know
The heart wood is technically dead, fungus, moisture etc helps it decay
Now all you gotta do is find those damn wedges! Like your hiviz gear. Is it warm and waterproof? Or just hiviz?
Ya sometimes they can be hard to find again. I’ve even had them get stuck to the tree and as the tree hits the ground they get flung in the air, and usually far sown the hill too. The coat is a windbreaker, the fabric seems water resistant and I sprayed it with some silicone waterproofing.
Nice
Sweet way to dump them
Is that a 32” or 36?
36 he says somewhere
36” 3/8 .063
What happened to your nice new pants ?

Your videos dhould all be titled, "grenades another old growth". How many of those hogs do you actually save out?

Is it legal or ethical to run a Stihl bar on a Husgvarna power head??? Chainsaw gods may send Locus or something.
Lol
U
U afraid to tell him how much a duck head his he going to kill him self lord help him
Huh?
