Cascades White river drainage off Mt. Rainier. Tree was years dead and just a shell not too far up, in a popular USFS Campground soo had to be removed.
Thats an old one. I had to clear some trees on a property, the biggest of them a doug fir which i counted 266 years old. I measeured it at 6 foot through
Now I know the reason for the holding chains around the base! That was a very dangerous tree! Most likely would have barber chaired without them and possibly caused a serious situation!
Was a shell about 14 feet up. Tree was in a USFS campground and long dead public danger removal.. Forest service left it lay just cleaned up the stump and pulled the girdle straps.
Spent a lot of time in my youth up in Washington 70's. So you mean to tell me all those clear cuts up there I saw are due to removing "overripe" trees? Loggers have decimated much of Northern Ca. and Washington. They blame environmentalists when there are no trees left to cut.Intelligent group some of these guys. GREED GREED GREED. Nothing lasts forever including the worst species on this Earth. MAN!
@@thejackel1844 Sounds like someone here is sensitive about the timber industry and their destructive irresponsible practices (ask the guys in the salmon industry)...Hmmmmm? Frederick Weyerhauser in the 1800's said his intention was to cut down every tree west of the Mississippi. Like I said not all folks in the tree cutting business are the brightest bulbs. Suicide really? No way. Life has been good to my immediate family. Lots of miles to hike and lots of trees to hug. You wouldn't understand sounds like. As long as the old bank account is good and that huge tax refund keeps coming in all is good huh? Go God in 2020 (I meant Trump). LOL!
@@thejackel1844 So the original trees these guys cut were only 40 years old? No, they clearcut 300 year old trees and messed up the riparian zones around the streams that salmon and steelhead USE to use to spawn in. Good job guys! You are an idiot. Keep that chainsaw of yours tuned up. Varoom, varoom LOL! Duh, must cut down big tree, pound me chest varoom, varoom.
@@mikeravenelle7073 Didn't say that those were 40 years old. You seem to have a problem with reading comprehension ... Reading comprehension seems to be the least of your problems !...
@@elonmust7470 I have no clue what sorta logic you're trinna reach for but I'm very confused by ur comment. These trees provide incalculable value to our environment. Destroying them ends that value and in fact puts back much of that sequestered carbon into the atmosphere. Overall it's terrible for the environment. Future generations will look upon these people with hatred. I guarantee you. Guarantee.

NICE JOB GUYS👏👍 saw was binding cuz of sawdust in the track of the bar.
Wow..! Amazing 👍👍👍👍
Nicely done Fellers!
Rakers a taddy low?
what's wrong with the saw? looked like the brake kept on engaging.
The springs in the mechanism get weak & they do that.
Or he kept hitting wood inside with the tip causing kickback which engages the brake which its supposed to do
Marvellous..!
Where was that?
Plenty kindling out of that one lol
Hi this incredible Douglas fir is from Cascade Mountains or Coast?
Cascades White river drainage off Mt. Rainier.
Tree was years dead and just a shell not too far up, in a popular USFS
Campground soo had to be removed.
Daniel Mccollaum thanks
4:02 when I fall out of bed.
wonder what that thing weighed?
Laurence Lance and how many board feet and how many cords?
The whole family is there
Yes...Tree was dead in a USFS campground, danger tree removal was a big deal for all of them.
That’s one of the saddest things I have seen in awhile. Not sure how dropping old growth like this is still happening. Shame.
Lol it was so dead it was close to falling on its own
Not a 10 footer. One LOG filled a truck in 1986 out of Sterling City, CA. I counted 217 rings.

...The Husky Didn't Break A Sweat!
Looks like a ton of wood was left holding and it busted the butt log ???
It's not an oak tree some pulled wood is fine.
Also the first run of that tree is trash. The whole thing's probably like that.
Was a shell about 14 feet up. Tree was in a USFS campground and long dead public danger removal.. Forest service left it lay just cleaned up the stump and pulled the girdle straps.
Would hate to be the one to buck this one
Yeah…..she was in a bit of a bind.
Stove pipe...
I Bet that shook the ground!!!
7 foot at best
Over ripe, for sure...Nothing lasts forever!...

Fuck this. I hate when people look at massive old trees and think, hey let’s cut that down.
Same here, I hate morons like that.
Stop cutting old growth trees
The tree was dead and in an area that was dangerous to the public.
Trees have a lifespan like humans.
Killing old growth forsest is a shame why don’t you just let them be
it was a snag in a campground and had to be removed for safety. obviously not ideal but sometimes can't be avoided .
These guys are lucky to have lived. Need training wheels for their saw
Shame on you
These loggers should all be in jail for destroying this piece of history.
Like they just said "hey, let's go cut that tree.."
The tree belongs to someone & that someone wanted it cut down. Get over it.
