- Short Video of Michael Hawkins Journey to Alaska To Cut On Some of The most rugged Ground Monster Snags and Biggest timber in the world...... I am running a phils hopped up 390 xp with a 50 inch cannon, 42 inch Oregon, 36 inch cannon, and a 36 inch Oregon light weight....
Big beautiful timber logs solid, with a few roties.
At :50, time to get the other saw and let that one cool off in the repair shop, better a crunched saw then you, good job getting out of there. Yicks, then you run into a Griz on the way back to the truck at the end of the day. Keep your .44 handy. .
that saw and the cracking before she falls is way better than the music
God bless you and keep you.Greeting from Croatia
This felling compilation is just incredible, can't believe my eyes.. AMAZING fellings, Michael! More of it, please..
Thanks, I apperciate the good words from a seasoned vet.... I watched a few of your vids... Be safe out there..... If your serious about Alaska i could probally get you lined up on some work this next season.... keep intouch....
Mike Hawkins is a good ole boy fo sho!
Excellent video! well put together! Really enjoy videos like this.
Nice video
Some great footage there You love your job in the woods and I love mine here in Scotland :)
Nice springboard use at the 1:50 or so mark. You don't see that technique much these days.
Dang thats some cool stuff! Wish they grew that big in Idaho!
This is so rad.
great vid ,the trees are awsome,good going
another great oregon logger!!!keep up the good work my friend
really like how you put that video together , hope to get there as well and leave miles of caulk tracks and saw chips. be safe.
BEST JOB IN THE WORLD
fantastic vid mate keep them coming and fell safe =]
thanks for posting the video loging and fishing both run in my blood but i went with fishing
Man, you guys leave some tall stumps...
Post some more videos. Us flatland hardwood cutters enjoy hell out of them.
Good video and good saw
Good stuff Michael!!
Man thats some nice timber
You mean WAS some nice timber....gone now for many years. Keep denuding them forests till nothing of value left. YES, it is a finite resource those old beauties. Guys are out there just waiting for the day they can get into our last parks and clear them. Money, money money!
I like your last name lol. nice video. I own a tree business
That terrain will make a man out of you. The ones with the rotten cores will make you pucker up.
very good vid:) Good wood too:)
nice video and nice job
Nice timber
Good video, but the music temporarily increased my estrogen levels
Never a good thing, if you are a man
nice job!! take care
Awesome! Thanks for showing those cedars. Must be daunting knowing how rotten those can be. Great stuff man. Must be really cool taking those down.
bad ass! keep it up. don't listen to these tree huggers. they grow back
J Hill the trees don't really grow back
Yes, they grow back, in about 500 years. We'll never see the likes of them again....just sayin'
Yeah we had a new guy on the crew.... i think his second day..... He was building a bear trap..... I decided to save his life and risk mine.....
I see you work for Columbia Helicopter, great company
I almost lost a brand new husky cuttin for a yarder in mt, got in a hurry cut the high side on a big fir, sure miss the cutters life,
awesome footage, im a west coast logger myself. its just kinda sad that some of these logging videos are dubbed with heavy metal or acid rock music. id rather hear the sound of falling timber as it creeks.
awesome man
HOLY HEAVIES! more power to you bro
pretty spruce...pretty stumps....
I have seen it and DID THAT . but bigger trees THOUGHT ..look at the fire wood....WE CUT
HOT DAMN............... love ya mike..I STILL LOVE YOU NIKY VAUGHN W 72.
Turn me loose. Grew up felling timber. Still love it 27 years in.
I've cut big timber on logging jobs my entire life and I never, almost never, have my butts pull out of the center like that. I like a nice clean cut, evenly broken off. In my opinion the hinge is to close to the center, and a open face allows the tree closer to the ground before breaking off. I don't see a nice clean cut here. At 2:05 he gets a nice clean cut. I hate that center pull every time I see it. I've never cut this species of timber, so maybe it's the nature of it. It appears to be a very soft wood, and I've cut mostly hardwoods that must be cut with care, or they will bust, pull, or slab out.
Good for you
Smashed he's saw not good look hanging up
East coast cutting takes very little skill compared to this.
hope to go up there and do this myself someday
Oh the lovely boat ride wouldnt trade my time on POW for anything in the world
awesome video! what was going on there around 2:46? Looked like your saw got crushed and you almost did too!
This is just devine felling...
2:46 Saw gets stuck
2:47 Oh Crap
2:48 F&#@ the Saw
2:50 make it out of the fall zone
I'll bet that was a long 4 seconds. :-)

Why are there taking so many trees down?
Sign me up lol
you should get a Stihl 880.. I've never used anything else after I bought my first one back in the 80's (was 084 back then but same saw)
Is that Columbia helicopters? I cut for them....
Who were you cuttin for up there?
The cuts look good but I don’t get why all the trees are cut off so high! The butt of the tree is the most expensive part! Or is it just me?
If you look closely at the trees, a number have significant swelling below the cut. It wouldn't make any better logs to cut lower down, as the swell would just get trimmed off at the mill anyway. So, the faller makes it a little easier on himself.
Great video, thanks for posting this.
When you say hopped up you mean woods ported correct?
Gettin the chance to cut 7-9' oldgrow up in ak. never been there. been cuttin for just under 10yr now bushelling, heli, tree lengthin, OR/CA second growth but never ak. what should i bring and what can i expect up there?
Bring rain gear and 3 reliable powerheads. And a set of nuts if you have them, the timber around here can get weird, and the places it grows can get just as weird. Just cut the spruce up tight and make sure you open the faces up enough on them or they'll barberchair
at 2;47 did you lose your saw?
+Mark Baker Yea it looks like that one smaller tree fell right on it. I wonder if that machine survived. Good scramble technique for sure! lol
+Mark Baker Looks like the bar got turned into a propeller blade, for starters.
Song?
Day rate?
cutting for columbia helicopter?
you smash yer saw at 2:54?
jednou bych si chtěl zkusit pokácet takovou bombu a ne jak u nás
+Marian Presinsky to ja taky
+Marian Presinsky este su take aj u nas, uz menej ale este sa najdu
Tree is not just a material! :(
cut them down,anyone replant new
In search of big wood. Will this big wood last forever? Think about it when it's all gone. The loggers will have to get edumacated and find different work.
The rotten log that blew apart at 2:30 is a good example of what happens to those trees if they aren't eventually felled. Modern logging in the US and Canada utilize sustainable practices such as replanting the stand you just cut. There are loggers who (if they stay with the same company) can eventually cut down the trees they planted four decades prior. And then they replant that same stand of timber once again for the next generation.

Loggers and "big wood" ain't going anywhere
@@HabeasJ I have a hard time trusting the government or logging companies to do the best for our forests or this planet. As long as the dollar is the most important thing.
@@mikeravenelle7073 it's less about the dollar and more about maintaining forest health and water quality nowadays. And they've figured out that in order to absorb and store carbon, trees have to grow, which the old growth isn't doing, it's reaching it's lifespan and dying. So rather than let them rot and fall over and emit their carbon back, it makes more sense to fall them and make something useful and replant new trees
hanks for your comments

+Winchestero steve Alaska is in the USA
I can think of thousands of better time investments than working with lumber or anybody that would pay an enemy for that matter. Alaska isn't a worthwhile investment and nobody is better because of Alaska.
Great video ruined by music
NOOOO stop that! =( thats bad!
