Hello everyone. Sweater is available at www.BullBuckerApparel.com
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
hey buds hope you are doing well and u had a great Christmas and new year's as well be safe and be kind and have a great day 😊.
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 Randy. I have a bunch left. I have medium,large, Xlarge. Medium I have the least of. I also have a measurement chart on the website.
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
Sometime full wraps make it hard to cut the center, but you make the whole process look easier than it is for sure! Great work!
Thank you for the fiber. I needed it.🙂 have a great day.
@BjarneButler I find your videos very interesting; your precision and experience is unmatched
Well done Brother! Great video, of a Super sick tree falling.
More master class Bjarne!! Superb-🤙
Super idiot"cutting.."
Can’t believe I watched this for 50 minutes … ASMR ❤️❤️❤️

a huge job and very interesting how you took this one down. God bless.
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.
They will in A Table or two. Tree would have fell on it's on and Rot Away
@@williamrosier5558 Yeah look at that forest, none of those trees are very old right
@@BjarneButler сажать никто не хочет, только уничтожать. Сердце не болит??!!!? Посади сейчас дерево, чтоб оставить после себя не пустыню, а прекрасный лес !!!!!!!😢😥😥😥
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.
The 50-80’s seems to be the golden days of logging.
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.
Un gran maestro. . . . de la destrucción.
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
Nice job & videos. That 390XP rocks & thanks for the link for the sweaters

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.
@@BjarneButler Bjarne, you are very good at avoiding spring boards with your scaffolding expertise.Take care, Michael
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
That was great to watch!!!
That's BAD ASS! The equipment in the hand's of a PRO makes it look smooth. Nice work! The stupid part of my brain feels sorry for the tree.....
i wish i could do this job over here in australia. wish you the best in 2022 bjarne
Thanks. You too
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.
Ya you guys have been hammered hard with that cold weather. I’m sure glad I live and work on the coast. I call the coast the Hawaii of canada
@@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
My favorite faller on YT. Stay safe brother.
awesome cutting! thanks
What heros , even proud enough to film and show it . And no doubt this tree will be on a boat to another country .
Sarcasm noted and appreciated.
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!
Ye! Thought he was worried about his safety for a moment before realizing he just wanted to capture the distant footage 😄
Nice video nice job. As a person that lived in a house made of wood and brick, I appreciate what you do
Amazing! Big tree cutting video.
that's amazing, a very calculating woodcutter, success
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!
.
salute to you brother... good job👌👌👌💯
Un travail de précisions et de risques!
You should have left us in the saw dust! That was a nice shot! Great stuff Bjarne!
,👍👍👍👍
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
That was cool as hell man
Keep em coming brother 💯💪
👍🤘
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?
All the trees have hallow inside is that the reason for cutting them?
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.
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.
After seeing this guy effortlessly stick his axe in any tree, I'm convinced all the axes I've used in my life were dull as hell.
Or ya never took the time to check the edge.. but with age comes wisdom eh
WOW, YOU ARE REALLY GOOD AT SWINGING THAT AX, DRIVING IN THOSE WEDGES. No way I could hit the mark every time the way you do.
This is better than watching sports. I guess its a unique quality to be interested in watching professional arborists do their thing. 😅
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.
Good job brother really so hard your doing have a safe day all time,God bless....
Thanks you
Very good job and experienced faller
After i watch ing you, i think you have done, well done, i get shared on it. Congratulation.
What saw is your partner running? Ported 661 with a bark box? Running a 42” bar and sounds like that dam!! Good cutting Bjarne!
Good guess but he only used the 42” on the one tree in the morning and it was way bigger then my 8footer. He also grinds his chain.
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
Pathetic.
Fascinating work know in Norway! Fun to follow this big tree as mine were cosiderable smaller, but procedure the same.
Sawdust angle was cool
Thanks Bjarne, you are the master of big timber felling. A hack like me learns heaps from you
a "master" hahaha
Great job. You are really professional.
Bjarne, I got the notification of a new video from you right as we were about to stop for lunch and I gotta say "BEAUTY ONE EH' " NICE JOB THERE BUDDY. I was wondering if when the camera didn't get turned on if you had already cut the middle when you made your face cut....lol it all worked out great anyhow didn't it ! We stopped to eat lunch and the sun came out and now the freaking wind blowing were getting told by Forest Service they are putting up a Red Flag (wind and or Fire dangerous conditions) so we're going to haul logs down to the landing and buck them for hauling the rest of the day....damn first nice day in a while and the freaking wind has gotta blow. ! Oh well stay safe and Happy New Years to both you and your wife from our family. Randy
Thanks Randy happy New Years to you too. Go figure if it’s not the rain then it’s the wind, not permits then it’s a wash out. Always something eh? Haha. That’s logging I guess. Hey where do you live again? I forgot. Eastern US right?
Thanks for sharing awesome cutting! Really like the sweater going to try and get one before they are gone! Stay safe and keep the chips rolling out!
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!
Are you taking the piss? Or are you completely unaware of the irony of your post?
Come out to Vancouver island lots of great trails in big wood here. Tofino has some nice trails. Also check out Cathedral Grove near Port Alberni
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.
Greetings from Easter Island 🗿. We don’t have any more tree problems here either. We cut them all down long ago.
Hard working men also very skilled..I am watching all the way from Papua New Guinea..❤❤
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

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
that's some good work that's how it is done.
Great video. Regards from Scotland.
From Scotland, cool. Thanks for watching
Wow... that was actually a good angle. The saw chips thrown at it was a good feature.... was a nice touch. Should have kept that for affect...
if he had a barrier to protect his lens I'm sure he would have
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.
Why would you enjoy destroying such a huge organism?
Amazing,,succes on your job my freand👌👍
Great cutting 👍
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
Thanks for watching. Where did your dad work?
@@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😂😂🥃🥃
😊
Since when are clear cuts renewable?
@@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
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
Great video! Best regards!
Well done
What is the material that you wrap your handlebars with? does it do a good job of keeping the vibrations down?
I to was woundern this.
I use wetsuit fabric wrapped with hockey stick tape. It works ok, I’m still experimenting
I am not a tree hugger but sometimes I would like to see a tree win!

Thanks Tom, you too
Excellent 👍👍👍
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
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 !
RIP Old Redwood. Sickening.
21:52 Wow LOOK AT ME!!!! What a dork!
Lol Thanks for watching ricabel
Great video. How old do you think some of the larger trees in this video were?
6-8 I’d guess
300 anos
100's of years, @ least
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
Wow you are amazing bro💪
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!
I wouldn’t,t be to proud of myself cutting down 2000 yr. Old trees
Probably not. You need to know what you are doing. By the way do you have a garden. Do you plant and harvest your vegetables. Do any weeding. Is there much use for the stuff you let go past seed. Do you beleive man has dominion over the earth. How many times do you think this planet has healed it's self from catastrophe. Leave it alone. It knows better than us what to do.
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 was an awesome shot, should have kept the camera there :) Edit; The shot @ 23:06 - hilarious :D
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
Wow super jumbo 🤔
You can never know for sure about red cedar and big red being hollow or degree of rot but I was always careful about keepingy bar out of the dirt I usedy ax to clear moss and dirt and my hands with gloves on thanks fort the videio
Awesome video!! Have you ever thought about swapping to a larger bar for trees like this or is it not worth the extra weight and time to do it?
Exactly, not worth the time and packing around a bar I’ll hardly use. And really a 42” bar is only 6 inches longer then my regular bar. The 42” is generally used on very big trees that are on a steep slope where you’ll have a hard time reaching the far side and those trees usually involve springboards too. I used to cut 10footers with a 33” tsumura bar for years. The trick there is to make your undercut opening very wide that way you can fit the power head in the tree to complete the cut and to cut the middle if needed. cedar trees that big are usually hollow in the middle or rotten enough to not need cut. Having a super long bar may allow you to cut that one tree down slightly quicker but that’s it. To be a high production faller on the coast you also have to be efficient, no wasted steps no wrong moves or mistakes. Little mistakes are fine, but overall, efficiency and consistency day after day is what counts, not how pretty your stump looks haha. Ok that’s my off topic tangent haha. And I know it’s contradictory to me taking the time to film these videos but I have no problem of putting down enough wood to earn my rate.
This was very interesting now I would like to see how they get those monsters out of the forest.
most of the time its yard,ed out but if they unable to do that. then they will helicopter it out.
I would too. Some footage of the skyline and all that would be sweet.
It was all yarder and hoe chuck. Next time in camp I’ll film some other phases of logging. Thanks for watching

good cutting
Happy New Year from 🇩🇪 to 🇨🇦
Thanks Marty, happy New Years
Does anyone know why these old growth trees are being cut down..?
because most humans don't care for anything but themselves
@Martin Arnold because they are worth a lot of money!
Building houses somewhere in America.
They are dead
To piss off the left....
I have mixed feelings. The devastation... the stumps.....Looking like a tree graveyard. And yet, looking at such a huge tree on the outside, it's hard to believe the dead hollowness inside them. A lot of work in cutting such huge trees.
Many large trees hollow ou naturally over time. Somethin to do wit survivin high winds.
Definitely worked for that one
Good job brother 💪💪💪💪👍👍👍👍
What a waste, the log breaks in a half after so much labor you put into it😅😢😢
