A 6 footer on fire 80 feet up was my largest. I ended up with the 5 wedges I had with me and a bunch of birch ones cut close by. A 61 Husky with a 28 inch bar did the deed. 40 years ago I still have that saw. Thanks for this post of memories my friend. Big cedar can sure make for an interesting day eh.
@@Coolbeans666-y7g I was long retired when The Tube was born. Good times with great people all around me all the time. We did have blasters that were all ways available when needed. they always got up to us in no time. May as well have some fun at work today, EH, LOL. Have a great upcoming weekend my friend. Stop by my channel for heavy Silver castings and a bit of gold. Not much gold but a bit is better than none at all eh, LOL.
My hubby is 70 years old, was a faller for 25 years and he just fell 5 trees together. He watches all your shows. His fellow fallers called him Chief. His birthday is 9-3. He would love it if you called him out😊❤ We are big fans.
Funny thing about the wedges ... in Toba Inlet 1972 at the Weldwood camp, one of the fallers had the misfortune of the tree rocking back hard on his wedge stack, spitting out out a wedge like a hockey puck slap shot into his face.....poor fella lost some teeth that day along with some blood...so yes kids its a real thing and Bjarne has the fix.
The old fashion way to cut was to chap the side where it fall for one third of the trunk, then cut the opposite side starting on the upper part going down toward the chapped area. You guys are great for successfully cutting down the tree, and nobody got hurt, except the chin saw blade. Hopefully you've learned good from this, and do it much better next time. God bless you guys. Watching from Alaska.
I can understand your sentiment. But I think of it this way. Taking down one massive tree is less disruption to the bush then taking an equivalent five smaller ones. Also, very large trees develop hollow trunks that eventually harbor disease and bring them down anyways, except they fall apart when they land and are less useful for valuable big cuts of lumber. We all rely on forest products for the lifestyle that affords us the luxury of being able to critique these practices from the comfort of our home. Don't believe the propaganda that these guys are nature haters reveling in mother earth's destruction. This is forest conservation. Many trees sprout in the absence of one of these giants. Seed trees are left so they can propagate the terrain again and the cycle will continue. A 10 billion dollar a year industry wouldn't harvest itself to extinction, sustainable forestry initiatives are crucial and closely followed. Everything comes to a seeming end, but is really just the beginning for something else. Take care friend.
@@jfdb59 Yea i mean sustainable harvests like this i suppose. But the massive clear cuts i just dont see as being sustainable. 14% of them are also never replanted
Always enjoy watching you deal with some real challenges. A quick foot hold I'll use is just punch a hole in the stump and stick my wedge in it. Tipped at a bit of an angle. The trick I'd like to see is putting those 3 strips of flagging up :) Why not paint? Be safe!!
That is hard work and dangerous .I don’t think that I ever have seen trees this size and let alone the age. What is going to happen now ? The tree will be cut into shorter pieces and moved down the mountain to the sawmill?
Your such a huge inspiration to me Bjarne. Id love to do this line of work someday, just working on getting more trigger time under my belt. How did you get into timber falling? Seems real tough to get into without close personal or familial connections .
Go to a sawmill. Tell em ya wanna get on a woods crew. You’ll start snatching and pullin. But in time you’ll have a saw in your hands, limbing and trimming, then bucking and cutting. Gotta put in your time like anything else.

Hey ..did you know about the motion to change Powell (Foul) Rivers name to something indigenous.... of course this is an absolutely necesessay thing to do, and it will only cost taxpayers a few million to register, change signs, letterhead and legal documentation to satisfy WHAT STUPID urge to do so????
They don’t need massive breeding trees the clones grow way faster creating fibre and oxygen at a much more rapid rate those old growth seeds take a lot longer to become something they can harvest , if you see them left it’s not so they can breed new trees it’s usually a perch tree or water retention area or possibly a bear den
@@mooseknuckle8334 because they plant trees now that are genetically engineered to grow way faster so they can keep the industry going plus new trees that are growing create way more oxygen!
@@mooseknuckle8334 rubbish ? I’m a faller I no what I’m talking about bud Iv been in the industry for over 30 years it’s not rubbish and every tree rots and dies so it’s also a waste lol rubbish do some research 🧐
I will have to agree with some of the people. But as a retired climber logger operator. I don't know why they have to cut every big tree down? There are not going to be anymore big trees left. They take so long to get to be that big and they are beautiful to look at too! It's just sad to see them go. They can cut the smaller ones and get the same amount of board feet reguired. Anyway yes I used to cut trees myself. But they don't have to cut everything down and leave the forest's alone. Anyway thanks for sharing this with us and God bless you and your health, because I know what a toll it takes on your body. I've been there and done that
My local hiking spot in Washington is covered with giant 6ft+ wide stumps, couple that were at least 10ft, not a single big one left standing though. Pretty depressing.
hate to be that guy but dang it took a lot to fall that piece of timber. also he didn't cut much of a face. just all back cut. a lot of unnecessary work. must be green still??
This just kills me watching this. I support the men and women in this industry working to pay their mortgages and raise a family. I get it….but damn. What other technologies are available to build our houses…what materials could be used other than these majestic trees. 🥺🥺🥺
You need to realize that there are over 2 trillion trees on this planet and this type of tree work does absolutely nothing to negatively effect the ecosystem. You’re barking up the wrong tree here. You need to be mad at mass deforestation taking place in places like the Amazon and parts of Australia. Those types of efforts are truly extremely harmful for the area, but not an operation like this. Take that energy and put it where it’s actually needed.
Wieso? Damit danach ein angeschnittener Baum herumsteht, der Mensch und Tiere gefährdet? Einmal angeschnitten, muss der Baum auch zu Fall gebracht werden! Und ohne Holz geht auch heutzutage nichts, wach mal aus deiner Traumwelt auf. :)

What an amazing day to experience the life of a lumberjack in the BIG Cedar Country!
Freshly sawed cedar is about as good as it gets eh.
Excellent reel footage Bjarne, cripes that blasting rock slug embedded halfway up the Cedar was trippy.
Chur for the real Lumberjacks reel.

Greetings King Spang's Road Norway!
The old timers that used the crosscuts are in heaven laughing at you.
Wow that first one didn't want to go, but it managed to save out pretty nice 👍👍
NICE WORK SIR ❤
That Gentlemen is an Art in itself, WELL DONE GENTS WELL DONE. I enjoyed watching this video, keep them coming please, Thank you and Take care Gents.
It's really nice to watch a faller who is so deliberate in his movements.
Very meticulous and elaborate, truly admirable.
I'm very afraid of heights but I like watching videos like this , thanks
Damn, that was a big tree...
Greetings from North Carolina.
Why are all the tree huggers watching logging videos? 😂 nice job Bjarne🤘🏽

I can atest to this, When mine blasted me in the face I needed stitches and some dental work
I got one in the face in Ucluelet, fractured my zygomatic arch , 1981 ,,

Impressive work and footage and some beautiful country
A few nice Cedars in this quarter, nice work Bjarne
What a hack job.
Beautiful country.
It is all beautiful but the combination of the tree and background around the 30-31 minute mark was what had me in awe.

I'm guessing the 3 straps are to hold it together when it hits the ground?
dude!!! i flipping love your videos!!
Best office in the world💯😎
Bruh
Utilizing renewable resources, love it!
Tell me about the white straps on the tree 🌲
They prevent the log splitting when felled
Jarne B is in awesome shape... Great Vid👍👍👍👍
So how do you get that tree out of the woods? Is their a trail where tractor trailor can back up too right against it?
They use a grapple yarder. Here’s an older video of a grapple yarder.

@@BjarneButler thank you
Some nice trees you were cutting. That first one was a bit stubborn!
You don’t get this in the uk. Top work boys 🤘🤘
After you cut a block do the have a crew that comes in and paints what to fly out as a lot of the cedar is junk.
what is the average value in timber on a beast like that?
I am itching to see them put that on a giant lathe- just a portion, of course.
How old is the 8' Cedar tree?
Old bullets, old signs that the tree grew around. Some trees have been damned by voodoo magic 🎩 🎉
Not using to seeing your bands I watched a lot before Christmas. Sure looks like good idea keep from splintering!
What axe pattern weight combo are you utilizing? National, Rafter, Miner 4-5lbs
About how old would that 1st tree be that you fell?
Wow such big trees
How old is a tree that size?
My question is how you going to get that huge tree off that mountain
Helicopters
Pretty DAMN Cold outside. I'll be at home today.
well done!!!!
What does a tree like that weigh?
Does anyone knows why he would put sawdust between the wedges before hitting them ?
Creates extra friction so the wedges don’t pop back out, which cat happens to when doubling up wedges

Why not leave the little ones as regen trees if they're not in the way.
