Hi Bjarne, I have been following you for a few years. I am a 61 year old Brick and stone mason in NH. I have spent a lot of time in the NH Wight MT's. All the big stuff has been gone since the mid sixty's. I am a land owner in Deerfield NH and have some standing pine 36 to 40" and that's as good as it get hear. For what its worth if when I decide to go see the Local Yokels to take some of these down they will have to be able to walk and chew gum like you do. It is good to see this kind of lumber taken before it rots to uselessness. I don't know were your working but the logs that have been down for years and years are same size of what you taking. Hard to know from watching this vid why they were there either left behind or the tops were striate down hill. This vid is like a miniseries. Thanks
I did a little bit of tree failling, worked in forestry for a couple years and people let me tell you this.. the amount of sound a tree makes when it smashes the ground especially this size, is insane. It's a crazy feeling knowing you're this small living thing, taking down a huge living thing, and having it rumble the earth below. It echo's through the whole entire forest. Its a crazy experience. Nice video, Mr Butler!
@@phole1100.. It'll be awesome, been there done that! "You have to break a few eggs to make an omelette", otherwise mankind would not have survived up untill now!
Great video again. I am so glad you showed the bucking of the massive cedar. How scary when you make those cuts to length, and tree jumps. I sure hope you are not ever standing on top. Very dangerous. Bjarne, you are so skilled in your ability to do this job. Stay safe and keep showing some bucking too . It is all very interesting to us all who love these videos. What courage to do such a job. Lucky also at the everyday beauty.
my favorite part is, that split second its during its fall. Where its quiet because its completely broken free from the base but not impacted the ground
That cable between stumps we referred to as a “brain buster”. You would wrap the cable( looks like 7/8 inch cable ) as seen in your clip and then cut a section of log and put it through the middle and twist the cable tight. Nice hand splice. I used to be the camp splicerman back in the day. Our tail hold blocks used to weigh 87 pounds. Really miss the camp life.
Great video, Bjarne, and as always I'll say thanks for the time you invest in these full-length features! I always enjoy your thoughts on thinking your way through the puzzle and getting the most out of each piece in such difficult terrain! Yeah, that steel wedge was a sweet find! Work safe!
That's some truly badass countryside.... worked with Canadians on Wildfires in my 20's.... Solid hardworking guys that were straight to the point, period.... Much respect to our neighbors to the north.
This looks like such an awesome job. Ball busting work, no doubt, but it must be rewarding. Amazing views, out in nature, and contributing to the building of a civilization. Much appreciation and respect!
Excellent job!! How are you liking the saw so far? Sounds great, and it has nice high RPM in the cut. No backyard tree falling here. This is the real deal. As dangerous as it gets. Stay safe bjarne and keep up with the fantastic videos.
@@BjarneButler I have several ported masterpieces by my friend harvey. He has a youtube channel called the ironhorse. Donny Walker did yours? The bark boxes and port work make them excellent work saws. I've been logging for 30 + years. 10 in california redwood. Love your channel. You show exteme logging at it's finest, and your a fantastic cutter. Be good
i been watching for awhile now, i,m impressed with the amount of clearing an the way its done, cheers to ya mr butler, the mountains,valleys an rivers with big ass trees hitting the ground, hahaha, dont get no better.
I don't know HOW I landed on this video, but I'm glad I did. It's fascinating! Sad because the landscape is so beautiful but I know it's what our society requires.

You kicked butt bjarne. Just about everything saved out perfectly. In that terrain it's extremely difficult. I like the long videos. 👍 Be good brother and stay safe.
Just walking through this is not easy. Running through it after you fought the chainsaw on the tree, all day long, good Lord you're a tough individual. Beautiful place to work, and work it is.
@@phole1100 True, clear cuts are ugly, but if you look at most of those trees they are cutting they are rotting inside, and that area is ripe to burn. Every tree they cut that plant a couple new ones.
@@AKAOmnivore That would be true if this was a tree plantation, but this is a wild forest. They are wrecking this ecosystem and permanently diminishing it
@@phole1100 Canada's forest area of 857 million acres has been quite stable over the past 25 years. ... Sustainable forest practices, forest certification and government regulations require mandatory regeneration so that harvested areas continue to produce forests for the long term.
@@AKAOmnivore when you cut old growth it is never the same again. Replanting is so they can be harvested again. You know that. And these trees won’t be allowed the couple hundred years it took to reach this size and thus the forest will never be the same
I am the first comment and number 3 on views Bjarne looks like you are in a new area that was a cool find still sitting on the stump. It will be fun to see some big trees come down when you get to the new site looking forward to seeing the video. keep your head up and work safe and keep the great videos coming.
@@BjarneButler There are some big trees there maybe not as big as some of them 8 10 and 12 footers I have seen you fall but they are big and fun to watch fall great video cliff falling .
Have you checked out a portapower in stead of jacks? You can remote pump allowing you more versatility and safety. The kit is heavy so I don't know how much you have to jack but if at the pad will save time and lives.
That was one dangerous tree, it's shame that tree wasn't cut down years earlier, now it isn't worth anything of value. But you had to cut it down because was a dangerous tree to work around. Well done. Stay safe, we enjoy your videos. God 🙌
1:43:39 - For those of you who don't know, cutting something this big and not getting the bar pinched takes a lot of skill. Just looking at that section raises my anxiety XD
@@phole1100 Perhaps you may be right, although I don't know if its a black and white issue. At the end of the day, we need wood to make houses and I don't know what's better for the environment. Cutting down an old growth tree for lumber or cutting down 30-50 smaller ones for the same amount of lumber. My main concern with cutting old trees like this is the species of rare mychorrizal fungi that depend on trees like this to survive. As far as I know, alternative green building materials like hemp crete, air crete, or other renewable substances have not been able to reach the market to the extent that they could actually compete with wood. Yes, it does make me sad to see trees like this cut down, but I think its a "we are left with no good alternatives" scenario at the moment.
@@jacobfurnish7450 It is only a matter of will. We simply value lumber more than we value forests. Our society is built on the convenient lie that everything is worthless unless it can be sold. Forests are worthless unless we use them for lumber. The worth of something is judged by its value to man. This is why our world is broken and we continue to lose wild places everywhere. All we have to do is choose to do something about it. Take action. Advocate. But we choose to look away from the problem because the answer is inconvenient
I understand wood needs harvested, trees need cut down and forests need managed and blah blah. Knowing all of this doesn't lessen the sadness or the finality of seeing that tree fall. Such a magnificent beautiful creature of earth, so old and massive, in its final moments.
Great talking w/you in the last couple of days!!.. Stay safe out there!!.. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING work!. To other commenters on this thread.. Bjarne & I have communicated a couple times.. my late Dad was in the timber business for approx 40 yrs.. my younger brother is a Timber dealer here in Georgia.. though my Dad nor my brother have ever dealt w/ trees of this magnitude.. all the old growth trees are in the Pacific Northwest & BC..if a Pine in Georgia gets 26" - 28" (on the stump) THAT is considered a BIG tree 🙄 Yes, in the Southeast we do have some Southern Red Oaks that are probably 300+ yrs old.. probably 8' - 10' on the stump.. all lumber or plywood mills in the South limit the circumference at the "Butt" end (big end) to about 26" ( just due to Mills saw cutting capacity).. Beautiful country where Bjarne is!! Bucket list road trip plans for my wife & me in about 4 yrs.. I'm a retired Union Elevator Mechanic for Otis Elevator Company.. I grew up running a chain saw with my Grandfather as firewood was only source of heat for most of the house when we were little in the late 60's.. Did have propane for one space heater & gas stove in kitchen of an 1920's era farmhouse.. We heated rest of the house with woodburning heaters & two fireplaces .. I got to start running my Grandaddys original ALL METAL Poulan saw w/ a Bow chain guide on it when I was about 13-14 yrs old.. it weighed about 30-35lbs. Time i was 16 yrs old.. i was built like brick sh*thouse 😂😂. I'm just amazed at the size of the trees and the steep terrain Bjarne contends with. And he stays in a logging camp for 2 weeks at a time!! Our loggers here in Georgia generally work 7:00am - 5:00pm.. get to go home each day.. When Bjarne is dropped off by helicopter to work.. he is there until they come back!!.. no matter what kind of weather!! THIS is Paul Bunyan work!! Dont spect one would want to get into a tangle with this man!!.. yrs of running that Husqvarna.. He is ALL Man!!.. ain't No puddin when it comes to Bjarne 😎
I worked in the brush for 17 years from Alaska to Calif. I can watch you all day long and not break a sweat. Keep doing what you're doing, it brings back fond memories. Could you let me know what kind of camera you're using? Thanks
I cant imagine the ecological damage you did in those 17 years...nothing you cut has recovered. Thanks to you the great forests of the West are permanently diminished.
Uk forester here, had to post my first UA-cam comment in history after 19 mins of the vid, you know what you're doing mate and great to watch, the ven diagram of people who use saws, but can understand them within the tree to that level is tiny. I watched you turn that fell into a dogs tooth cut by leaving that last buttress, allowing you to leave by the back of the tree. Don't have to watch a second more, your in the crew of the top 5% of saw lads. Not many of us left, aging profession, hard to get people to stick Felling out as long these days to reach the level of experience and knowledge you show. Not sure where we're going to be in the next 15 years or so with active cutters 🤷🏻♂️ guess I'll watch the rest of the vid now..
@phole1100 as we do have forestry programmes for plantations.. cant argue the smallest industry in Europe by size, but given one of the smallest countries within Europe, that would make sense wouldn't it?
That was an AWESOME VID! Soo much information and NEAT stuff there that you showed. Thank you for taking the time to document and explain. I recently saw your videos and subscribed immediately. Now watching hours of your old vids. lol MN boy that loves to make wood and cut and trim tree's. Keep up the good work! One question though....At 10:00 did you plunge on that old snag to see if you were working with a hollow? I'll stick that one in the Memory Bank. ;)
To be straight up with you. When u mentioned about leaving your axe out of the way. You're definitely not alone in doing that I do it too one it's a good safety step to have in play. & two it allows u to be able to two things in the process eliminate one of many tripping Hazzards around the tree to be aware of & it gives u ah clear path without obstacles to contend with.
Old Trees are Snags? They would've been healthier with no center rot, except all their ancient companions were cleared a hundred years ago and they suffered light induced cancerous growth & decay. The global gang has cleared the worlds ancient forests and runs the GREEN movement!
I did this in Louisiana for awhile down in New Iberia and I can tell you first hand you can never tell what a tree will do when it's cut. Seen some really scary things down there...
Perhaps the feller picked up the wedge after the tree dropped, set it on the stump and forgot about it. What is the green duffel you have at the beginning? Looks like a decent woods bag.
Never seen you use a triple hinge before, keeps the tree hangin on a bit longer ! Never used it yet but it seems to do a good job! Gid video mate, cheers!!
Hi Bjarne, do you prefer the lighter weight of the 572 or the extra power of the 390? Will you be trying the 592? Do you own your saws or are they provided? It's great to watch a skilled worker. Stay safe.
Hi Alan. Yes I own my own saws. The 572 works well for a 36” bar in cedar but trees larger then about 4’ and of a different species like fir, balsam, hemlock, I would use the 390. Also all my saw are modified to have more power. I haven’t tried the 592 yet
I live in city so i cant say shit but id do this i handle the wood when it arrives at work i live in oregon, usa and it looks like this but more darker , i started out working in fields from 6 to 4, rn im working 4 to 1
Back in Early years like 40 and fifth, the Loggers trim the trees while they stud upright, they used spring board system, limb there trees before they cut down the trees trunk.
Any church of filming your sky line in action. I trained on a sky line mid 74 in the South Island of NZ but transferred into a totally different section of our defunked Forest Service. Keep them coming mate just love the your video's.

I cant imagine the ecological damage you did in those 17 years...nothing you cut has recovered. Thanks to you the great forests of the West are permanently diminished.

Uk forester here, had to post my first UA-cam comment in history after 19 mins of the vid, you know what you're doing mate and great to watch, the ven diagram of people who use saws, but can understand them within the tree to that level is tiny. I watched you turn that fell into a dogs tooth cut by leaving that last buttress, allowing you to leave by the back of the tree. Don't have to watch a second more, your in the crew of the top 5% of saw lads. Not many of us left, aging profession, hard to get people to stick Felling out as long these days to reach the level of experience and knowledge you show. Not sure where we're going to be in the next 15 years or so with active cutters 🤷🏻♂️ guess I'll watch the rest of the vid now..
Why does the UK even have a forest department ? Aren't yall like the least forested country in Europe?
@phole1100 as we do have forestry programmes for plantations.. cant argue the smallest industry in Europe by size, but given one of the smallest countries within Europe, that would make sense wouldn't it?
@@mattcook2105 what happened to all of the forests? Why have they not grown back?
Thank you for accelerating the ecological crisis. Keep it up!
World Wide birth control is the only thing that will save us, China had it right for awhile, then they caved 😮
Mad respect.
Beautiful place to work man
What a f work, thanks for sharing this to us, cheers from Luxembourg 🇱🇺 europe
That was an AWESOME VID! Soo much information and NEAT stuff there that you showed. Thank you for taking the time to document and explain. I recently saw your videos and subscribed immediately. Now watching hours of your old vids. lol MN boy that loves to make wood and cut and trim tree's. Keep up the good work!
One question though....At 10:00 did you plunge on that old snag to see if you were working with a hollow? I'll stick that one in the Memory Bank. ;)
To be straight up with you.
When u mentioned about leaving your axe out of the way.
You're definitely not alone in doing that I do it too one it's a good safety step to have in play.
& two it allows u to be able to two things in the process eliminate one of many tripping Hazzards around the tree to be aware of & it gives u ah clear path without obstacles to contend with.
Maybe a crazy question, but are lumberjacks paid by the number of trees cut?
No
Some are indeed paid by volume. Others by contact and some by the day.
@@bob_frazier lumber jacks are paid decidedly by the hour.
@@bobsinger7127 Lumber Jacks.. lol.
Friend of mine years ago cut snags like that Yakima .
Old Trees are Snags? They would've been healthier with no center rot, except all their ancient companions were cleared a hundred years ago and they suffered light induced cancerous growth & decay. The global gang has cleared the worlds ancient forests and runs the GREEN movement!
Awesome work 💪🍻🎄
I did this in Louisiana for awhile down in New Iberia and I can tell you first hand you can never tell what a tree will do when it's cut. Seen some really scary things down there...
Perhaps the feller picked up the wedge after the tree dropped, set it on the stump and forgot about it.
What is the green duffel you have at the beginning? Looks like a decent woods bag.
How many trees break apart when falling? Is that log that breaks apart not worth as much? Pretty cool though
Depends on the species and quality of wood and the length that is left after breaking
Epic mate .. Full length feature. Love it 👍 Timber shortage around the world you’ll be flat out cutting.
Thanks. Ya I hope so
That's a nice chunk of wire I'm like I could use that for all kinds of stuff lol
A 572 xp with a stihil bar and never runs out of fuel or bar oil. want
just ordered a 880 on order till October :(
I’m gonna hold you to it. If this thing ever runs out of fuel you will be sued for this comment.
Lol
Great stuff 👍🏻
Hay Cotton top 3 try betting this Video. His dangerous work ways. The steepness of these Hill sides. Definitely rugged
Never seen you use a triple hinge before, keeps the tree hangin on a bit longer ! Never used it yet but it seems to do a good job! Gid video mate, cheers!!
Thanks
This looked like a 5 burrito day........whoosh.
Down hill high leed is a wild ride
This is a heli job
awesome footage
Hi Bjarne, do you prefer the lighter weight of the 572 or the extra power of the 390? Will you be trying the 592? Do you own your saws or are they provided? It's great to watch a skilled worker. Stay safe.
Hi Alan. Yes I own my own saws. The 572 works well for a 36” bar in cedar but trees larger then about 4’ and of a different species like fir, balsam, hemlock, I would use the 390. Also all my saw are modified to have more power. I haven’t tried the 592 yet
Thanks Bjarne.
i tried the 592 a few months ago such a monster :)
@@BjarneButler Thank you for your question Alan and thank you for your answer Bjarne. So this saw in the video is the 572XP?
Hi guys. Don't mind replying, I found my answer further down in the comments. 🙄Thank you again.👍
this'll be hitting everyones recommended in about 3 years
Or today
More like 3 mins
I liked this.
Great stuff 👍🏻
When you’re working on heli do they have a chain grinder for you to use or do you have to hand square file your chains??
You have to supply your own grinder. I hand file
Damn I'm not sure if I feel more manly for watching this or less manly knowing I can't do it.....
I live in city so i cant say shit but id do this i handle the wood when it arrives at work
i live in oregon, usa and it looks like this but more darker , i started out working in fields from 6 to 4, rn im working 4 to 1
you could do it, if it was the only way to stay warm :)
What length chainsaw bar do you want?
The longest one you make.
4ft at least
As always a great video!-very enjoyable!!-have you had a look at the 592?
Thanks. Not yet, don’t think husky likes me cuz I use a Stihl bar haha
@@BjarneButler no you are the best& a tribute to Husqvarna! 🤟
Great job bud. Lucky you didn’t get no protestors up in your blocks there ;)
Ya we like to keep them all in one spot while they like to rile themselves up.
Back in Early years like 40 and fifth, the Loggers trim the trees while they stud upright, they used spring board system, limb there trees before they cut down the trees trunk.
Any church of filming your sky line in action.
I trained on a sky line mid 74 in the South Island of NZ but transferred into a totally different section of our defunked Forest Service.
Keep them coming mate just love the your video's.
Thanks for watching. This video was on a heli-logging job
19:10
Sketchy
Not criticizing
C'mon, Bjarnes the man!
Those are some massive trees.
