Bjarne it's wild how those big bushes are hollow in the middle of them but that's the way they are down here in my part of the country too never have understood why but they are hollow as well and another thing why don't you use a hydraulic jack for wedging those big ones off of the stump too
What Sizes do you have left Bjarne ? Don't I remember you saying you had sold out of some ? The Wife wants to get 3 of them for myself our Son and She likes them so much she wants one too lol. Thanks Buddy. Randy
Hi James. The only time we use a jack is on a heavy lean that’s leaning the wrong way. Like over a boundary or bluff or gully or just somewhere where the tree will smash to pieces or will be unable to be retrieved by the logging crew. It’s a hassle packing a jack around all day to jack a few trees where with a few minutes few some extra wedges and a big axe will work. Also most of the time if it’s too much to wedge then it’ll usually be felled the other way or it’s pushed with another tree
Redwood trees are soft tbh. I assume this is in Oregon, or Washington. Yeah, if this was on Oak Tree or hardwood like the southern states has, that axe would have to be swung with way more effort, regardless how sharp it is. Lol.
Used to go with my father logging in NZ, he had a Sthil with a 6ft blade on it, watched him cut a Rimu down it took some doin even with that bigga saw. I was 8 at the time and felt sad for the tree as it smashed to the ground.
Well done Bjarne. You are brave, it did not look like much holding wood.I broke in as a "bucker", in 1971, in very large cedar swamp, south of Forks, Wa.We feel and bucked tree's like this one for four months. I used a Stihl ,.049 , .050 and .051. Most fallers used Mac. 125's with a 42" bar.We used a Stihl .090 with a 54" bar on some giant Sitka spruce.I am 74 and I love your videos.You are the best faller I have ever seen. Take care, Michael
Thanks for watching Michael. 1971 is a long time ago, the heyday of logging. You lucky old timers got all the valley bottoms with pipes. Saws nowadays are a heck of a lot lighters then those old Mac’s.
Eu tenho dó ver umas árvores tão lindas serem derrubadas devem estar condenada aqui no Brasil também estão acabando com nossas floresta acho que é no mundo todo que dó
Nice to watch how others do it on the other side of the world mate. Brings back memories cross cutting native here in the 70's in NZ. Keep them coming, I only wish I was there doing it too. Too old now.
A lot of these old cedars are really rotten inside. What becomes of them do it all get pulled off these mountains or is it deemed to far gone and left.
I of course have to compliment the craft after working in the tree industry a little myself and know that dropping a big tree does take some skill, even when you don't have to worry about your surrounding property as much as your safety; still I hate seeing this big girls go down, they're amongst my favorite. We removed a lot of dead and dying Ash but I imagine this is for lumber which is a sad reason to cut the behemoths down :( Anywho thanks for sharing and job well done
A forest that isn't properly managed is very susceptible to cataclysmic forest fires. By removing this dying tree they are simply speeding up the life cycle through allowing new growth
Doesn't cutting through moss dull your chain. I live in a region where we don't get it nearly as thick. Not trying to ask a dumb question I just don't know.
Man I thought that thumbnail was a forced perspective shot with you standing farther behind the tree to make it look bigger, but at 17:02 I realized what a monster that tree was!
Right at the start cutting into all that moss and soil surely would have dulled the chain? Takes a while to sharpen a 36 inch bar, I run one on my 592 xp. Clean up with an axe would have been better in that instance?
I grew up in these woods and I still spend a lot of time in them. There's not very many of these trees left. There's plenty of reproduction that can be cut for lumber. I'd love for my grandkids to be able to see trees like this.
There’s lots of trees this size still. Just have to get a little farther away from the city 😁 Second growth has larger rings so it’s not as strong, therefore less desirable and cheaper.
@@BjarneButler And then there will be none, like was done so many other places. I live in the redwood forest. The loggers fought so hard to cut all of it, but they ended up saving about 3% of it. The rest was all cut and most of the mills closed years ago anyway. Sucks for the next generation.
@@BjarneButler сажать никто не хочет, только уничтожать. Сердце не болит??!!!? Посади сейчас дерево, чтоб оставить после себя не пустыню, а прекрасный лес !!!!!!!😢😥😥😥
That wood snapping at @12:35 made me jump, that was a little scary! It was also a little funny, because in coincided with Bjarne snapping that little sapling!
First time watcher and I am fascinated at the skill it takes to cut a huge tree ,But then I felt sad that the big trees are getting few and fewer as time goes on .It won't be long till they will be a thing of legends and old timers telling the storeys of when they saw a 10ft wide tree like a fairytale of Moby Dick.sad but that's life
Man as a woodworker, I would love to have this job. I’ve always wanted to cut down a massive tree. I’ll stick to making things out of wood for the time being.
At least you're creating, and not destroying haha, I used to watch American loggers years ago, and it's a tough job, these guys needed to be on their toes, but yes I'd like to try cutting a big one down with a good stihl chain saw haha.
Одличан видео. Са великим уживањем сам пажљиво посматрао сваки детаљ. Ово је прави школски час врхунског мајстора. Пуно среће у даљем раду са Златибора из Србије... Бравооо..👍💪👏
I admire your hard work ethic and your skill,and that you have to make a living. And it’s not your fault. But watching all these magnificent old growth trees being cut down is deeply troubling. Are there any area’s of old growth trees being set aside and saved from the destruction of logging these ancient sentinels of the earth?
Yes lots, they will crash to the ground, and make compost, my question to you, do you live in a home made of anything but soil, and have you looked at where you live, at one time a forest, so yes we provide a sustaining resource, not what building a subdivision on a previously forested plot. It all has a cycle of life, and today we don't trash the Province of BC like we used to, well over 1/2 the lumber that builds homes in the USA come from BC, as well the homes Etc. In Canada, tell us what your solution is.
The reason for cutting trees is a the tenure holder needs a return on his investment. Cutting Permit applied for by the tenure holder and approved by the BC government . At least on Crown land (public land). Trees are cut after a great deal of assessment and research by professionals. Anything approved by government requires a restocking prescription so it grows back.
Let the lumber jacks do their job so you can have a house. great work for those who produce and forget about the deranged liberals. Trees will grow again.
Nice clear cut you and your partner are making there. Love it. My father was a timber caller for 40 years. You guys are awesome harvesters of a renewable resource that need to have done what you guys are doing to it right now. Thanks for the great videos
@@BjarneButler icy bay kake Hobart bay and on prince of whales but he spent many years in kake. All in alaska and when we were kids growing up in logging camps was a blast. He is 79 now and cuts firewood almost every day still. Just can’t put the saw down😂😂🥃🥃
@@teebosaurusyou seriously, so all the old froth that is about lived it’s life isn’t worth harvesting?? Should we let the trees go to waste or cause massive forest fires? At least the trees grow back or are you unable to see the forest through the trees? Or Possibly ignorant
Which I've never used a carbide tipped chain. Are they really that much better. I mainly use the Rolomatic Super and I usually dull the shit out of it as soon as I cut into some shit like that at the base.
Back when I was repairing saws, one of my customers told me it took him nearly 5 hours to drop a Flooded Gum with a 3ft bar. He told me it measured up at just over 14ft across (diameter) & you couldn't get your fist in the pipe.
Thanks for watching. In this video the logs were moved to the road by an excavator with a grapple attachment. The steeper area we’re done with a grapple yarder. There was also a super snorkel onsite getting the wood that’s close to the road already for some east and quick loads to the beach(log sort).
@@BjarneButler what kind of tape ? Ive never heard of wet suit fabric on a handle i bet it works well. do u have to buy a wet suit or can u just buy the fabric?
Whats so hard about knowing how tall as tree is - or the fall zone of cutting a dropping a tree. Use right angle geometry. Walk out to the desired zone in which you want to fall the tree. Walk until you have an upheld hand from your eye to the top of the tree. The vertical height (side A) = horizontal distance (side B), and the hypotenuse (side C). The distance where you are standing is the tree elevation and drop distance. One then only needs to make the proper cuts, falling the tree in the desired direction
I would love to know your secret for sharpening the chain, as you seem to cut through wood like it was butter. Always enjoy you videos and comments, plus the scenery.
Dirt never harms a chain saw blade if you teeth are pulling the dirt away from the wood. Never cut so the dirt is pulled into the wood by the chain. Ive cut many logs covered in sand. Just cut from one side only.... roll the log to cut the remaining....always pulling the sand / dirt away from the wood.....not pulling into the wood. I did notice he did not do that here. But they are not buying or sharpening the chains probably ??????
It’s amazing how large those trees are. In Michigan where we work the biggest diameter trees we see are red oak, cottonwood and willow. 5-6’ is a very large tree here and few and far between. The tallest we see is around 100’ white pines. Great video! I have to make it to the west coast some day to see those giants!
Go to Sequoia National Park see the General Sherman tree before it gets burned down. 6000-year-old trees 36 feet in diameter 300 feet tall. They wrapped it in foil when the complex fire got close in 2021 hot embers were flying into the park. California fires getting worse only matter of time before a bad one hits the park burns it all up.
The sawdust "in the face" only adds to the experience. Thanks for another great vid. I first heard the term "schoolmarm" tree on Little House on the Prairie back in the 70s. Any idea WHY the name stuck for those off-shoots?
Bjame you are lucky here in the cariboo central BC it has been hanging around 20c to 40c below 0 for 2 weeks and we have got about 1 meter of snow so I have been hiding inside watching youtube videos so keep the great videos coming and keep your head up and enjoy that nice coast weather and send some of it my way we sure could use it.
@@BjarneButler You guys got hit with a lot of rain and flooding there I hope that is all done with the people of BC with wildfires, floods , landslides ,record hot and dry summers and now cold winters with heave snow falls well the people of BC never tap out we keep going
Ce să apreciez!?! Moartea acestui superb și impresionant copac? Nu am motive și nici inima și conștiința s-o fac. Ce sa învăț sau sa admir la o persoană care ucide natura?!
The tree didn’t really look all that big when you approached it with the camera and laid the saw in front. But this side view really shows how massive this thing is. Nice job.
It appears much of the tree is a waste as they break up into smaller diameter trunks after they fall. It be interesting too to see how you get the big pieces out of the woods.
Great video I just stumbled across it. I’m getting ready to cut a 4 foot tree with a 2 foot bar and I’ve been a little nervous Nellie. But I picked up some good tips from your video thank you

Bjarne it's wild how those big bushes are hollow in the middle of them but that's the way they are down here in my part of the country too never have understood why but they are hollow as well and another thing why don't you use a hydraulic jack for wedging those big ones off of the stump too

Hi James. The only time we use a jack is on a heavy lean that’s leaning the wrong way.

Wow. The first UA-cam thumbnail that is not a cheap move to get you to watch the video. Good job
Can’t believe I watched this for 50 minutes … ASMR ❤️❤️❤️
Sometime full wraps make it hard to cut the center, but you make the whole process look easier than it is for sure! Great work!
Do not know where this is, but would love to know why this tree needed felling!
It looks like it's rotting. It's hollow. I believe they are not allowed to cut old growth like that unless the tree is basically dead.

Greetings from Easter Island 🗿. We don’t have any more tree problems here either. We cut them all down long ago.
After seeing this guy effortlessly stick his axe in any tree, I'm convinced all the axes I've used in my life were dull as hell.
Or ya never took the time to check the edge.. but with age comes wisdom eh
Redwood trees are soft tbh. I assume this is in Oregon, or Washington. Yeah, if this was on Oak Tree or hardwood like the southern states has, that axe would have to be swung with way more effort, regardless how sharp it is. Lol.
There aren't many oldies left. Was it really necessary to cut it down?

Bjame you are lucky here in the cariboo central BC it has been hanging around 20c to 40c below 0 for 2 weeks and we have got about 1 meter of snow so I have been hiding inside watching youtube videos so keep the great videos coming and keep your head up and enjoy that nice coast weather and send some of it my way we sure could use it.
Ya you guys have been hammered hard with that cold weather. I’m sure glad I live and work on the coast. I call the coast the Hawaii of canada
@@BjarneButler You guys got hit with a lot of rain and flooding there I hope that is all done with the people of BC with wildfires, floods , landslides ,record hot and dry summers and now cold winters with heave snow falls well the people of BC never tap out we keep going
After i watch ing you, i think you have done, well done, i get shared on it. Congratulation.
Wow... that was actually a good angle. The saw chips thrown at it was a good feature.... was a nice touch. Should have kept that for affect...
if he had a barrier to protect his lens I'm sure he would have
Are the wrappings on the saw's handles for vibration or are they heated handles? Stay safe in the woods.
My handles are heated but the wrapping is for vibration
@@BjarneButler Thanks. I really enjoy your videos and your professionalism in the woods.
I had no idea there were heated saw grips. I have them on my motorcycles, but never expected it on a saw. Learn something new every day.
Great job. You are really professional.
Hey, you know you can edit out the times that you're moving and adjusting the camera?
Ya I gotta put more effort into editing
Ce să apreciez!?! Moartea acestui superb și impresionant copac? Nu am motive și nici inima și conștiința s-o fac. Ce sa învăț sau sa admir la o persoană care ucide natura?!
so what are you doing here , spreading awareness ? on a page full of lumberjacks lol
era putred la interior, murea oricum
would have been nice to state what kind of tree this is.
Good job brother really so hard your doing have a safe day all time,God bless....
Thanks you
Could you tell me what pitch saw chain you use
3/8 .063 stihl
This was very interesting now I would like to see how they get those monsters out of the forest.
most of the time its yard,ed out but if they unable to do that. then they will helicopter it out.
I would too. Some footage of the skyline and all that would be sweet.
It was all yarder and hoe chuck. Next time in camp I’ll film some other phases of logging. Thanks for watching

What model is your husky ? Heaps of grunt !!sounds nice !!!!!
Pro about 600 years old
Down here in Oregon, Forest Service would make those snags no cut most of the time for habitat. For the good or bad of it.
Way too much government meddling
Nice job & videos. That 390XP rocks & thanks for the link for the sweaters
How many thousand tons is wood?
Cedar is about 1650lbs m3
The tree didn’t really look all that big when you approached it with the camera and laid the saw in front. But this side view really shows how massive this thing is. Nice job.

Who you partnered up with?
Thanks Bjarne, you are the master of big timber felling. A hack like me learns heaps from you
a "master" hahaha
Fine job Mr Butler
It appears much of the tree is a waste as they break up into smaller diameter trunks after they fall. It be interesting too to see how you get the big pieces out of the woods.
On this job the wood was forwarded by excavator with grapple
Must be very difficult to remove the stumps.
Great video I just stumbled across it. I’m getting ready to cut a 4 foot tree with a 2 foot bar and I’ve been a little nervous Nellie. But I picked up some good tips from your video thank you
Just gotta take a couple shots of Canadian whiskey and you're balls will drop
