My grandson is coming over this morning so I can't wait for him and I to make the tree falling sounds. It sounds stupid but I love watching with him.👍🍻
I burn 4-6 cord a year...usually. Looking like an 8 cord winter honestly. Fire wood Permits just came out because it was bone dry and now it’s snowing which is not normal. The snow is below 2000ft already on the WetCoast. I only have 2cord so I’m short already. Most of the wood left behind by the loggers is under 10” diameter and stuck in a haystack so it’s a lot of work to fill a long box truck...
Companies like Weyerhaeuser offer a free use permit but you must sign a waiver to go cutting waste wood on their cut block and if you damage a planted tree you could get a hefty fine.
@@SVOceanBird the nice thing about 10in and under wood is you dont need to split any of it ..if it fits in the door of the stove then its good to go ..rounds burn longer than split wood does anyway
I so enjoy watching your videos, I've shown a few to my 82 year old patient I care for. His Father and grandfather did this when His family lived in the State of Washington, when he was a boy. He did the trade also then moved east. He saw you bucking the trees, and said the most dangerous part of this job. His Dad's best friend was killed by a log that jumped and they all moved. He wants to see more of your channel and is so impressed by your ability, to direct the falls with precision. Stay safe and your 592 is impressive, Walkerized.
Beautiful day with uncluttered and uncomplicated cutting and not too taxing for your grey matter either - just the way cutting should be Bjarne 😊 Your 592 sounded as though you were leaning too hard on it at times but hey when your saw cuts that fast then I suppose you want it to go to the next level 😊 I want your weather cos a was cutting in smog today Thank you very much for sharing Bjarne 😊
Hi Bjarne!!😀😀 I always wear my rain shield on the back of my helmet year round because it keeps the sun off my neck and the sawdust out of my shirt. Give it a try!!
Your buddy’s tall tree was a sizeable stem. And the 592 is a saw and then some. Mind, as you’ve said, it is Walkerised but from what I’ve seen it’s already quite a saw in stock form.
I used to log in Maine what we thought was big Pine and Spruce but this is unbelievable; the trees you cut at that terrain is awesome. You have fantastic strength and stamina. We did cut wood all kinds in winter sometimes below zero but what you do is awe inspiring!
Your Chainsaw is like an extension of your arms, like the hockey stick of Sidney Crosby. Fast furious and deadly accurate. Really enjoy watching the action and the scenery. Cannot imagine anyone cutting faster than you and still being safe, if there were only tourist tours of heli-logging 0perations some people would really enjoy being right up close.
This video is a couple weeks ago. I’ve hit a bit of a backlog now. No scrambling to get a video out. Just takes time for the editing and a lot of head scratching to think of a good title
sketchy freakin snags. i have had them break in two halfway up where the top half came back and fell right over the stump..its like the wood was not strong enough to take the acceleration of the tree falling. Then you have to put on the scoot boots!
G'day Bjarne. You have been at this game for quite some years. If you dont mind me asking what is the most dangerous thing you have encountered or learnt from in your time falling timber so far? Hope your doing good fella from me here in Western Australia👍
Hi Keith thanks for watching. The most dangerous/close calls were mostly bucking. You gotta look for potential chain reactions and logs under pressure. I’ve dodged a few broken tops too. Those were close ones. The rest were a variety of fluke things that almost got me. Can’t see everything all the time so always gotta aware of the unexpected, that means run for your life on a seconds notice 🤷♂️
@@BjarneButler you seem like a pretty fast lad!!!...love your videos......the part i like the most is when the tree falls.....the sound it make i crank up the volume on my sound sistem !!!!,,,,,it s awesome!!!......im from nb......good day friend!!
Great video as always, thanks! Question, If you have a few stumps that don't pass audit, what happens? And is the penalty for unsafe working practices or for inefficient use of the resource? Thanks, and work safe!
If it’s real bad and your new to a company then you could be fired. If you’ve been with the crew long enough to have had good audits in the past, then it’s a warning. Your allowed to have one in ten stumps a fail because we’re only human and getting safely from a tree is more important than a nice looking stump. But there’s other and arguable more important things than just the stump. Like escape routes, bucking, is the wood layed out properly, snags felled when safe to do so, etc
Thanks for your response on this subject, Bjarne, I appreciate you taking the time! Always like when you talk your way thru your felling plans and love the videos....although I do have to plan for the long ones, and I'm a bit behind at the moment! Cheers!@@BjarneButler
Hi iam always looking to cut wood quickly what’s the best way to sharpen your chain to do this thanks will one day come over for a holiday to your neck of the woods😊 so on average how long does it take to cut a tree down and buck it
Bjarne, you mentioned your rakers were a little hungry and I like details like that. How much clearance was that chain running? I'm gonna guess .045". Are you using square ground chain? Thank you for sharing.
Hello Bjarne, Malcolm Sr from the US, do you ever encounter any TAMERACK trees in your falling on the Island? Good videos thanks for posting them, always love seeing your work, good job.
So how many trees do you think you have cut down? So many a day times so many a month. X amount a year times the amount of years you have been cutting.
Good morning, what do you have your rakers at. On 3/8 round hand file mine are at 35 thousandths, I just started square grinding with a grinder and I got those at 45. Stihl rs chain
I use a raker gauge but on a new chain I free hand the first bit. So when I need to file the rakers on a new chain I’ll do 1 light stroke each then do a test cut and do another light stroke till I like it. At about 1/3 to 1/2 of the chain then I’ll use the gauge. If I’m in tough hemlock then I may use the gauge sooner. So ya I just wing it 🤷♂️
Everything merchantable left behind is added up by the government and the logger can end up loosing their shirt if he’s not diligent. Fines can be in the millions for accidentally going outside the cut block lines so you take your time.
@@SVOceanBird thank you very much. I want to be a faller (maybe). I find it hard getting a detailed impression of the job so i have to ask those questions here in the yt comments. Do you, by any chance, know if there are always long commutes or logging camps over the summer? Because i am wondering if it is possible to have a family and wife with this kind of job
Camp work is 2weeks on and 1 off. Or 10 and 4 days. Sometimes you can do 1 week shifts. Depends on who you work for and other factors. Town work means your home every night or in A town just not the one you live in
Very nice music Ms. Vandaele, you continue to impress me with your talent.. I use Samsung's latest, so I know how good the quality is that I've seen. Is that if the iPhone that much better, or are you able to improve the picture quality equally as well or the S22's are maybe better put the last two or so releases of their high end phones as you do with iPhone. Just my curious nature about such things, and I never owned or used anything mobile they make, and so I wonder if it's all just hype as to the major difference between the two different approaches to the same technology. Thanks for your efforts, wonderful as always. Good day Madame, and be well.
Still love the video, keep 'em coming. For what its worth, the 'bucking interlude' music is a bit intrusive. I love the sounds of the saw and wind, and even the helo.
When was this footage shot? Edit; When stacking wedges, do you put the flats together or the tapers? I don't have to stack very often, but when I do 1 of them tends to pop out with the first couple of knocks. Edit the 2nd; Missed opportunity for Log Driver's Waltz (ua-cam.com/video/upsZZ2s3xv8/v-deo.html)
Hey Bjarne I recall in one of your videos you had a trick for dealing with a stuck throttle cable in the field, what is it? Had that falling in the block few weeks ago. Something with an elastic or something 🧐
Ya I used a rubber band and wrapped it from where the cable connects to the carb then around the air filter to the other side of the carb. I think I wrapped it around the bubble. The rubber band pulls the throttle linkage back to neutral position. It’s a little harder to pull on the trigger but at least it will come back down to idle. Should get a few days with that at most, at least the rest of the day though
Ran into a black bear one time and he didn’t seem too bothered by the saw, that was a bit worrisome when a large animal isn’t scared of the loud chainsaw. I didn’t see him after I dropped the first tree though
Widow-makers and barber chairs. So much fun, so little time.
By far the best tree felling we have ever seen, we look forwards to ever program.
My grandson is coming over this morning so I can't wait for him and I to make the tree falling sounds. It sounds stupid but I love watching with him.👍🍻
Thanks for watching 🤙
@@BjarneButler yes sir!!🍻👍
So glad my algorithm found you. This is a method of motivating myself to get more fire wood for next year. A cup of Joe and some felling.
Always loved cutting firewood!
I burn 4-6 cord a year...usually.
Looking like an 8 cord winter honestly.
Fire wood Permits just came out because it was bone dry and now it’s snowing which is not normal.

@@SVOceanBird it was hard getting firewood 40 years ago. Lol

❤ the videos the background is awesome 😎 keep them coming

I want your weather cos a was cutting in smog today
Thank you very much for sharing Bjarne 😊
Ya I have an old habit of pulling the saw too much, just means I gotta file better 🤷♂️
It's amazing how Canada is so beautiful with trees great video
Norway is pretty good as well....
Umm its called foestry.
@@austindenotter19 Never heard of that word before.🤣
Hi Bjarne!!😀😀
I always wear my rain shield on the back of my helmet year round because it keeps the sun off my neck and the sawdust out of my shirt. Give it a try!!
Had some nice big trees here last video of you walking up it all you had in front was sky amazing picture great 👍content fantastic scenery as always
Lovn the music. Very cool.
Why did you cut the one tree into four 8" wide pieces 30-40 feet long?
Your buddy’s tall tree was a sizeable stem. And the 592 is a saw and then some. Mind, as you’ve said, it is Walkerised but from what I’ve seen it’s already quite a saw in stock form.

Dobar biznis gospodine Bjarne, ja vas pratim odavno. Vasi su video zapisi super, perfektni. Veliki ste radnik . Mnogo zdravlja
Such a beautiful office we used to say it's a picnic everyday I miss working in the big woods great way to make a living
Bjarne, that shot that you made at 18:00min was freaking AWESOME!!! 👍
That was really good. I would have Immediately snagged
@@jeremyg5318 me as well, but (IIRC) at least it didn’t have any limbs to make it hang up, but I won’t swear that it didn’t.
I prefure the reversing tree fall video technique over the simple repeat fall as happened at 38:10
Ok thanks for feedback
You are still playing pick up sticks with BIG sticks. 😂 another great video. Stay safe 🤙
You must be working in the Banana Belt for all that great weather. It's been raining like crazy in Washington.
This video is a couple weeks ago. I’ve hit a bit of a backlog now. No scrambling to get a video out. Just takes time for the editing and a lot of head scratching to think of a good title
what saw you like better the 592 the 572 or the 390

These are videos from Vancouver Island.

What’s to stop a guy from just cutting a “failed” stump clean off and rolling the bad piece down the hill lollll
Above you state the 592 has a big increase in power now that is has been Walkerized! I did not think you ever ran a stock 592?
Hi iam always looking to cut wood quickly what’s the best way to sharpen your chain to do this thanks will one day come over for a holiday to your neck of the woods😊 so on average how long does it take to cut a tree down and buck it
I replayed the video around the 36 min mark - I couldn't catch the name of that additional cut you made. What is it called?
Bjarne, you mentioned your rakers were a little hungry and I like details like that. How much clearance was that chain running? I'm gonna guess .045". Are you using square ground chain? Thank you for sharing.
Hello Bjarne, Malcolm Sr from the US, do you ever encounter any TAMERACK trees in your falling on the Island? Good videos thanks for posting them, always love seeing your work, good job.
Thanks for watching. No tamarack trees here 🤙
Thanks Bjarne for the comeback, we have a load of them in the state of Washington. Have a good day and stay safe.@@BjarneButler
👍👍👍👍👍
Dam your good.
Mr Bjarne. How's the ol walker hotrod working out for you. ❤ FROM PNW OREGON
Works great still pills hard 👍
@@BjarneButler that's right... infamous donny walker strikes again lol. Keep your saw in the cerf and have a safe week beother.
So how many trees do you think you have cut down? So many a day times so many a month. X amount a year times the amount of years you have been cutting.
If we include trees down to say 4” then over 800k for sure. If trees that I’ve had to use undercuts to fall? Then guesstimate 300k
Good morning, what do you have your rakers at. On 3/8 round hand file mine are at 35 thousandths, I just started square grinding with a grinder and I got those at 45. Stihl rs chain

Is that a tall waterfall on the mountain at 0:31 ?
Nope that’s a rock slide
are u working under hard time pressure or is this a normal paced job?
