Best office in the world💯😎
Your partner hangs in there, He deserve all the encouragement you can give him.
Love the encouragement with Mitch! Loved following along this shift when you were doubling up! Thank you for the behind the scenes 😊😊🙏🙏
What an amazing day to experience the life of a lumberjack in the BIG Cedar Country!
The saw mill blade/band saw sharpener will love that rock….
A few nice Cedars in this quarter, nice work Bjarne
Excellent reel footage Bjarne, cripes that blasting rock slug embedded halfway up the Cedar was trippy.
Chur for the real Lumberjacks reel.
Impressive work and footage and some beautiful country
Pretty wild looking trees Bjarne . :)
Brilliant job again, Bjarne. Keep making them fall💯🫡💯
Greetings King Spang's Road Norway!
Wow that first one didn't want to go, but it managed to save out pretty nice 👍👍
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.
Wow those are some big mountains up there!
That was a good one, thank you.
300, 400 Years to grow , only took dumbo 1 hour max to cut it
It's really nice to watch a faller who is so deliberate in his movements.
dude!!! i flipping love your videos!!
NICE WORK SIR ❤
HONTE A VOUS !
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.

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!!
Some nice trees you were cutting. That first one was a bit stubborn!
Bjarne your young logging buddy running 🏃♂️ with sugar in his pockets with a stihl chainsaw 😊! Words from logger Lennie 😊😊.
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.
I can atest to this, When mine blasted me in the face I needed stitches and some dental work
3:50 Great Video !! Good
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
Pretty DAMN Cold outside. I'll be at home today.
Damn, that was a big tree...
Greetings from North Carolina.
Es lo maximo trabaje tambien en mis tiempos en motañas tumbando madera para hacerrar de verda mas nunca volveran esos tiempos en venezuela tan bellos 🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪🙏🙏🙏caundo se hacia era enormes arboles saman cedro caoba apamate javillos y pare de contar
Probably because it was the only one left, until you guys came along
There was probably a good reason why they originally left that one tree! But it's the greed of money that fuels the need to want to cut everything they can reach.
I was hoping that the trees would win one.
Not using to seeing your bands I watched a lot before Christmas. Sure looks like good idea keep from splintering!
I'd love to know where you're working, I live on Vancouver Island, so close to home for me!
Jarne B is in awesome shape... Great Vid👍👍👍👍
What axe pattern weight combo are you utilizing? National, Rafter, Miner 4-5lbs
what a shame to see such a beautiful tree die.
God JOB!
I'm guessing the 3 straps are to hold it together when it hits the ground?
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.
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.
The cameraman rushes to the rescue
About how old would that 1st tree be that you fell?
Hi everyone, I've just come upon this video and I'm crying for humanity, omg, this majestic tree is part of our amazing planet and yet we still do this sort of thing all over the place we all call home. 😢😢😢 we can do better, yeah.
No.
Why did You have to kill this beauty?
How old is the 8' Cedar tree?
Looks a lot like some of the valleys behind powel river.
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????
How old would these tress be ?
Some big ole bastards wow really cool
How old is a tree that size?
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. 🥺🥺🥺
It is very beautiful when you look at a hundred-year-old tree being destroyed for money!
Do tress have life after death?
@@Jeremyho439 i dont know...answer of a simple wo

❤❤❤
Damn kills me seeing monster trees being cut down..
kills me knowing that if they dont get downed and sent to the mill..they'll just rot away..not much good to any one at that point. timber harvest makes use of trees...and they will eventualy grow back..the forest is a busy place regarding new growth.
I know that we need the wood, but I would like to see a law worldwide that states that if you did not plant it, YOU CAN NOT CUT IT DOWN in hopes to save what little is left of the old-growth wood.
The old growth trees can be cut and get something out of them or they can stand there, die and get nothing. 🤔
It’s sad to see a beautiful old tree getting cut down just for views 😢😢
Don't let em get hurt Professional
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Cuantos años tiene ese arbol..no creo que te sientas orgulloso de tu trabajo..
Dont worry, it will grow back in another 700 to 1k years
Tell me about the white straps on the tree 🌲
They prevent the log splitting when felled
Mantap sekali gess
Aujourd'hui, dans cette vidéo, je vous présente la taille d'entretien sur un Séquoia.
I'm far from a tree hugger, but why cut down those massive breeders?.
Why would you cut it down..?
How do like the the stihl
I like the 500i
@@BjarneButler I love my 044 and 028 and 088 and 066 and 024 WB all bought twice user and a spare when the cheep bast ards decided to go to the far east
The 088 is just for rounding big hardwoods oak beach ash . I will never have a compooter in a saw or truck or phone
What do the straps on the trees indicate? I have noticed some with 2 straps and some with 3 etc...
👍
My question is how you going to get that huge tree off that mountain
Helicopters
Si vede che non siamo in Thailandia !!!!!
Wow that first one ! Pain in the butt .
Do you feel guilty when you see bats fly out of those old cedar no more home for you?
do you feel gulty of being over-reactive to the practices of commercial timber harvest that have been going on for a hundred years. unless you live in a tent or a cave...you might know that framed homes are common in USA/Canada and most asian nations.
@dws5951 yes I do but what bothers me is what happened all the export why couldn'tn that maurfacturd here save the growth for down the road that way I think ever just about everyone would be happy. But yes I made stumps for 30 years and and always did think about it. It's not like going to go anywhere. I guess one has to find a balance 🤷 maybe tax the raw logs export tax 🤷
Well there's yer problem...a flipping Stihl...🤣
I'm definitely no tree hugger, never was and never will be, but what is being allowed is deeply fucked up
The saw is too small for a giant tree 1:38
👋🏻
Why not leave the little ones as regen trees if they're not in the way.
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??
I'm living in a world of OSHA violations.. 29:09😂 Easy there Spanky, you die they just replace you..
Holy crap ya that made me pucker a little. Fast on his way to becoming a statistic for sure.
Is he running a 500i ? I can't really tell
Nope.
@@BjarneButler 660 or 661 then
probably the stihl 044 mag witch is a great saw in big wood. and i mean, it could be 661, but it looks more like the 044.
@@AaronTheViking250 661.
@Cpk20001 was it lol crazy beans.
look t these cms...
The undercut was too shallow?
A pugs ear comes to mind 😅
Evil, killing the very thing that produces the air that we breathe.
You must be one of the many people that don't know that trees have a life span and need to be taken down 😂
Is your house built with wood?? YOURE EVIL!!!
The undercut is not deep enough.
1800-1925 houses in the U.S. were nearly all cast iron or steel, not wood. Buildings facades were likewise cast iron or steel. We need to return to cast iron and steel buildings.
This is sickening destruction of old growth forest and wildlife habitat.
They should return to building cast iron buildings and steel frame houses.
DUHHH cast iron was a structural component in early "hi rise" structures, ocean going ships etc..steel structural materials..same story, utilized in the sky scraper era, to this day along with engineered concrete matrixes.....wood is an easily "on site" modified/shaped construction material for residential housing ... cutting live timber for process to building materials is a far better use than leaving trees to peak maturity followed by inevitable rot and collapse ...so stop your tree hugging mentality and understand the cycles that forests go through ..from complete devastation (mount St Helens style) to vibrant new growth..be patient as nature works thro' the regrowth process.
That tree was probably up to 600 plus years old and you guys killed it in about an hour time and now nobody else will ever see something else so big and that old again. Sorry for being so harsh, but when they get to be that big then something needs to be said.
I hope he wasn't trying to finish on the down hill side when he got pinched,almost looked liked an attempt at a Dutchman gone wrong it's important to leave good holding wood on the uphill side glad it went down like it did,and not saying he did but never finish on the down hill side,
Bore from the undercut from the start.
destruction that can never be reversed, nice
aint destruction Amigo ..its industry felling trees such as these cedars and making use of the wood..oherwise they just rot and fall over and provide no use to anyone.
This is messed up leave this big trees alone for gods sakes
Everything has a life cycle. These won't stay standing. They will eventually fall on their own. We might as well make beautiful furniture out of cedar than let it sink into ground rotting or become petrified after it falls naturally
Ever heard the term renewable resource…. Tell your builder you want no forest products in your home…. Then stop back by this channel
That tree will make a real nice sauna or deck 👍
Wrong side of CZcams hugger!!!

Not his decision to fall these trees! But quit exporting them off shore!!
that tree was holding that cliff together , next time it rains the cliff will fall
The partner seems young and perhaps inexperienced for such big wood.
That how you learn! Hands on. On the next 1 he will do better
Obvious your partner hasn’t learned the “ cut out some steps” trick. A lot to learn.
Introduce your partner, a short 2 minute interview would be nice.
Silver Medal Stupidest comment award!!! Congrats!!!
Why would they dare to cut down a tree that is centuries old? Don't they feel sorry?
Unless you live in an igloo or tent then you should feel sorry too. Where do you think lumber to build houses comes from?
God created trees for humans and for animals.. it is the purpose of the trees.
@@chuckplays4433yeah, and earth is flat. Good luck with that
They make longer bars!!! Quit messing around and make your cuts match
The undercut was a little too small, that’s why we had to jack so much. It wasn’t about needing a longer bar. On a big tree like this it’s actually uncommon to have your cuts match perfectly, there’s usually some cleaning out of the undercut after you’ve knocked the big pieces out. 🤙
That bar is over 200 dollars. The next size up is probably 300 or more. You going to buy it? Better off with the Jack and the 36.
. @beaugalbraith3891 always amazez me when the peanut gallery starts chirping in to tell bjarne how to do his work..c'mon ..what authority do you have to give recomendations???
@@dws5951 I didn't tell him anything, he's doing it right. I was commenting on the person saying they make longer bars, telling them to quit messing around.
And if you must know I have 29 years of falling experience in BC. Does that get me out of the peanut gallery in your eyes?
@@beaugalbraith3891 coastal or mainland ??
That kid is in a bit over his helmet... they shouldn't have him on this job. Super sketch.
and you are the 100% spot on expert with??what credentials??? to be judging a feller who was approved by the firm that hired him, with his certifications and background training ....do you know anything about what it takes to qualify as faller in the BC logging industry????
Jungle killers..
Dude needs to go back to chainsaw safety class. If that saw would have kicked while he was one handing it while holding the side of the tree it would have been a trip to the grave cause that far from help he would have bled out before he could get help
Stupidest comment award! Congratulations!!!
