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
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.
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.
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 !!!!!!!😢😥😥😥
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
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!
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
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!
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.

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
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.
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 that place is a Rain Forest! I live in West Texas and even though I farm wheat and sorghum this area is considered semi arid. Ive never been in a forest like that. Im very envious of those trees. My Live Oak trees and Burr Oak trees are 25 years old and about 50 feet tall. I cant imagine trees that tall, yikes! Gawd i could use a bunk of lumber from that tree 😮😮😮😮
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.
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
I know loggers are just professionals trying to make a living in this world but it sickens me to see healthy old growth trees cut down. To be clear, if an old growth tree has recently died then I think it's fantastic to harvest such a valuable resource. I feel less sad if they are living redwoods, which can re-sprout from their living roots, regrow and recover back into forests in a hundred years or so. With many other species though, I feel a terrible loss. I encourage all logging companies and loggers to take it upon themselves to plant significantly more saplings than trees they cut down to ensure the lumber industry is sustainable and to keep our natural environment healthy.
They do plant saplings. It's usually part of the permit from my understanding. Plus they can go back in a decade or two and harvest straighter taller logs if they plant close together at the same time.
Harvesting wood from forests is always a bad thing for the forests in the long term, even if the tree is already dead. A tree absorbs a lot of minerals from the soil in its lifetime, all those minerals are then stored in the wood. Naturally the wood would break down in the forest when the tree dies and the minerals would be released back into the soil again. Loggers take all the wood and deplete the forests of essential minerals, ruining the health of the forest in the long run
Harvesting old growth trees is closely regulated. They aren't clear cutting or destroying the ecosystem. Wouldn't you prefer seeing beautiful furniture made from this wood rather than waiting for it to die and rot?
@@Bot-xp6kl most if not all of the macronutrients and minerals are stored in the trees roots so the tree can use them as it needs. primarily micronutrients and sugars (converted from said minerals) are present and stored inside the phloem and xylem of the tree. a windthrown tree and deadfall would indeed reintroduce nutrients into the soil, however, a tree this large would take centuries to fully decompose back into usable bio nutrients.
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.

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
Very ignorant comment. Healthy forest's require management, Peter 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
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).
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.
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?
Got your sweater last fall use it quite often very warm Nice to see there’s a few big trees around I work for a hydro pole harvesting company in port alberni and Campbell river area in the 80s did come across one red cedar that a faller had cut down which was 13 ft at the butt
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.
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.

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
Yeah right. Looks like great walking conditions.

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.
There are parks and set asides in abundance in BC.
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.
Amazing,,succes on your job my freand👌👍
Mr. Rodgers wore sweaters bro. Gotta dress like Buck'n Billy Ray.... hahahaha
Cut the sleeves off that sweater, then maybe it'll be alright .... hahahaha
That was great to watch!!!
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
Nice shot on the 2nd snag. I wasnt sure you got your wedge cut at the right spot but boy you dropped it right where you wanted it. Good job man!
The sawdust was an awesome shot, should have kept the camera there :)
Edit; The shot @ 23:06 - hilarious :D
Sawdust angle was cool
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
@@woandy4542 What do you suggest ? In the way of a good smooth tasty Canadian whiskey?

I Love when the saw is dug in, and you look to the camera and smile. Wow great confidence! Love your work.
Any mods done to the saw? It's a beast for pulling a massive bar and never really bogs and revs great haha
A Husqvarna saw is the best out there ! They have great power too ! Any sharp chain pulls with ease. I have a 372 Husqvarna.... cuts with ease !
There aren't many oldies left. Was it really necessary to cut it down?
This makes me so sad. What a beautiful tree that is no longer here. We need more old growth trees not less.
You could clearly see the core was completely rotten!
It's a big cinnamon rind.
Beautiful doesn't put a roof over your head
Very ignorant comment. Healthy forest's require management, Peter
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
Tree appeared to be dead. Possibly dangerous.
Awesome cousin
what do they do with the big timber? how do they get it out of there? I love your videos! greetings from Norway
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).
I think they use it to make concrete. Thatz what we do with the big ones
Love your work
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.

Excellent 👍👍👍
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?
I think I did know once but I don’t now.
has to do with 2legs spread lol
Good job brother 💪💪💪💪👍👍👍👍
What a waste, the log breaks in a half after so much labor you put into it😅😢😢
Un travail de précisions et de risques!
Got your sweater last fall use it quite often very warm
Nice to see there’s a few big trees around I work for a hydro pole harvesting company in port alberni and Campbell river area in the 80s did come across one red cedar that a faller had cut down which was 13 ft at the butt
Thanks for buying a sweater Paul. Glad you like it. Ya a 13footer is huge
Chainsaws are time machines that travel back centuries with a single swipe.
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
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.
