So many guys watch and think “that’s nothing” . You made it look easy. Great job, be safe.
I love that, when it comes to trees, the diameter is measured in inches, and the length in metres.
Ya I know kinda goofy but that’s what’s on the card 🤷♂️
I wondered about that. I find it incomprehensible that the USA decimalised its currency right from square one but hung on to the contorted imperial measurements to this day, except for gallons which are smaller than imperial. Bushels, gallons, pints, inches, ounces, pounds and miles &c. Very confusing.
@@peteacher52he’s not in the US… and the UK hasn’t completely ditched it either.
Everything is such a jumbled mix of standard and metric. Or at least my toolbox is😂
Standing downhill of that monster bucking the underside must be an insane adrenaline rush. I was nervous watching it from my couch……woah
What a beauty job on today’s movie 🎥 Bjarne.
That big Cedar saved right out for a helluva payday!!💰💰💰
Man, everything went great, right to the end ... And then it decided to go for a skiing trip .
I said, well, that ain't gettin' bucked . lol
Greetings from Cortes Island, nice work with the saw and the camera.
Watching you keep watching the out of control log crash it’s way down hill, priceless.
Glad you shared the ripping card, I have been curious about that. Would love to see some ripping footage. That has to be a serious challenge in that environment. Respect to you sir. Take good care of your eyes so you can see the gold fines in your spinner pan
I can’t wait to get outta camp to do some more gold panning, or should I say spinning?
Look for guys on the rigging crew on instagram. Lots of picks and videos there
Thanks again B!
Awesome job done sir.
First 2 laid out nicely for ripping!
I feel your pain with reading small things. I had to get glasses. That was a nice cedar.
Watching the Downhill Tree Tops swaying as the top of the Big Cedar Torpedoed down the hill.😀😀😀 Multi-focus reading glasses until the optometrist prescribes glasses.
Good idea. I just got contact the office and request the weight cards with a larger font
U almost hit me with that chunk of wood bro lol😂😂😂😂😂
Would love to see a video about the removal (by helicopter) of these logs and their onward processing.

Do the engineers that band those trees together have to carry a machine with them or is it dropped down to them by chopper. How do they get in to those locations without a pad?
They come in once a pad is made. It’s not the engineers that strap the trees but a separate crew. They simply use a pry-bar like tool to synch the straps tight.
Thanks for all your videos Bjarne. Was wondering, is it possible to use some sort of laser attacked to your saw when lining up your initial aim? It is the 21st century after all...
When Barney is showing his saw after he dropped it you can see a grey line running vertically up the case side. This line is 90° to the saw blade and is used as sort of a peep sight to know where you’ll be aiming your under cut. You’ll see him sometimes lean back and look to see where things are aimed when he’s making the first cut into a tree.
Some times the simple solution is the best solution. Especially in the bush.
Bucking is definitely the most dangerous part of the job bjarne
I remember as a younger man when I could handle a big chainsaw like a feather duster! My 572 feels like 20 kilos now!
Bjarne, I am surprised that you are keeping the compression relief valve. You never seem to use it and they are prone to leak sooner or later. I guess the plugs would get hot too.
I haven't had one leak on me yet. I usually eliminate them on smaller saws but on the big guys I leave them, when you do need them they are a Godsend.
Ya I never use it. It’s usually removed when I get Donny to Walkerize it but this time it wasn’t.
Hi Bjarne, you could try one of those fresnel plastic sheet magnifiers, either stick a piece inside the lower part of your visor or on the card itself, otherwise bifocal safety glasses with the top part clear and the bottom part magnifying.
That an interesting idea. I’ll get one of those lenses and try it out
I would love that job. I just domt wanna leave my family to do it. I'd have to move to Oregon, Washington state, or Canada.
Logging isn’t just a job; it’s an art! Did you know each piece of wood has its own story? Share your thoughts on forest conservation and sustainable wood use! 15:23
I’d like to know how long from face cut to the finish of the last log you bucked on last tree of this video. It seems it took awhile, but lm no logging, I just really like your videos and the scenery and gold paining.
Don’t really know. This was filmed on my last shift, so was a while ago.
Do you think that "step" in the face cut alters the trajectory of the tree? In example; when someone puts a piece of the pie in the face cut to change the trajectory and throw it one way or another.
No because by the time the undercut closes together the tree is committed to its direction and the holding wood breaks soon after. 🤙
Gotta say I had the same thought!
Been a while since 1tree took the whole video
Just curious as to the estimated age of those cedars? Are they leftovers from the last logging or these sites have never been logged?
This area has never been logged before. The biggest trees are about 700-1000 years old?
I hope the earth isn't flat or the last log may have slid and rolled completely off 🤣. Thanks
Saking pohon nya sangat besar bar mesin nya tidak sampai 😮😮👍👍💪
Bjarne have you tried the protos helmets?
Nope
Pozdro z Polski 🇵🇱 wcs 🦾🌲
Hello Krystian from Poland 🤙
Karen need new hardwood floors hundred year old tree
So how much was that big cedar worth you cut today?
Worth depends on where you assess the value ,,
finished cedar wood is ,
I'm guessing , +$10K, @ 2,ooo bd ft ,,,
Maybe someone else has an idea of cutout at the mill
Ya it depends on what phase of the journey from forest to consumer your assessing
What are the strap information? Don't see much cedar for sale at Home depot as not really dimensional lumber like fir or spruce.
The straps hold the tree together to prevent splitting when it hits the ground
How do they go about ripping the logs Mr Butler?
With a 6ft bar and 390 or 3120
Could you please explain what a ripper is? Thank you Sir.
A log that requires ripping into two pieces to be able to be lifted by the helicopter.
People should watch this video because they have no clue what it takes to get lumber.
How do the ripping guys deal with logs that are down in the dirt?
I suppose they could “repo” them. Either then that, just be careful not to hit the dirt I suppose
I was stressed and I was sitting on my couch….
I assume that they like ripping big stuff so it can be quarter sawn?
It sounds to me like it’s so they can handle the weight moving it by air. He has a card the tells him what the preferred length x width. Too long and it’s unmanageable, too short and the buyer doesn’t want it. He’s trying to maximize value of the timber. The longer the better to a certain point, but the environment is dictating a few of his decisions. I think you might be confusing hard wood sawing practices with softwood.
Exactly 👍
Just wondering how much do you get paid for cutting that tree ❤
It’s day rate and not enough
Tree is very stout when video makes saw and bar look puny!!! Ray
Measuring diameter in inches and length in meters?
Ya that’s how the weight card is made 🤷♂️

Beyond uncool!....as a timber farmer for well over 40 years this sucks.
Why
The word is felling not falling.
In BC Canada we call it “falling” 🤷♂️
cutting down living history, wonder if you all think about how it all ends, I cut trees, firewood, fix stuff, garden, build stuff, now Im old, I wonder how it all ends, LOL
🤷♂️
Young people fulfill your dream
They grow back plants are funny that way
that last cut sucked fer sure.
That’s some big wood man 😆
Nice work
