300, 400 Years to grow , only took dumbo 1 hour max to cut it
Why did You have to kill this beauty?
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 a shame to see such a beautiful tree die.
What an amazing day to experience the life of a lumberjack in the BIG Cedar Country!
Excellent reel footage Bjarne, cripes that blasting rock slug embedded halfway up the Cedar was trippy. Chur for the real Lumberjacks reel.
A few nice Cedars in this quarter, nice work Bjarne
The saw mill blade/band saw sharpener will love that rock….
Dont worry, it will grow back in another 700 to 1k years
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 that first one didn't want to go, but it managed to save out pretty nice 👍👍
Impressive work and footage and some beautiful country
Brilliant job again, Bjarne. Keep making them fall💯🫡💯 Greetings King Spang's Road Norway!
Pretty wild looking trees Bjarne . :)
That was a good one, thank you.
I'm far from a tree hugger, but why cut down those massive breeders?.
Wow those are some big mountains up there!
dude!!! i flipping love your videos!!
It's really nice to watch a faller who is so deliberate in his movements.
NICE WORK SIR ❤
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.
Was
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!!
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
Bjarne your young logging buddy running 🏃♂️ with sugar in his pockets with a stihl chainsaw 😊! Words from logger Lennie 😊😊.
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
Some nice trees you were cutting. That first one was a bit stubborn!
HONTE A VOUS !
3:50 Great Video !! Good
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.
Pretty DAMN Cold outside. I'll be at home today.
What axe pattern weight combo are you utilizing? National, Rafter, Miner 4-5lbs
God JOB!
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👍👍👍👍
How old is the 8' Cedar tree?
I'm guessing the 3 straps are to hold it together when it hits the ground?
Not using to seeing your bands I watched a lot before Christmas. Sure looks like good idea keep from splintering!
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.
How old is a tree that size?
About how old would that 1st tree be that you fell?
I was hoping that the trees would win one.
❤❤❤
How old would these tress be ?
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Some big ole bastards wow really cool
Aujourd'hui, dans cette vidéo, je vous présente la taille d'entretien sur un Séquoia.
Don't let em get hurt Professional
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????
Cuantos años tiene ese arbol..no creo que te sientas orgulloso de tu trabajo..
Tell me about the white straps on the tree 🌲
They prevent the log splitting when felled
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
My question is how you going to get that huge tree off that mountain
Helicopters
Mantap sekali gess
👍
Well there's yer problem...a flipping Stihl...🤣
What do the straps on the trees indicate? I have noticed some with 2 straps and some with 3 etc...
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 rker
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.
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 🤷
Why not leave the little ones as regen trees if they're not in the way.
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.
👋🏻
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.
Si vede che non siamo in Thailandia !!!!!
It’s sad to see a beautiful old tree getting cut down just for views 😢😢
look t these cms...
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??
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.
The undercut was too shallow?
A pugs ear comes to mind 😅
Wow that first one ! Pain in the butt .
I'm definitely no tree hugger, never was and never will be, but what is being allowed is deeply fucked up
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.
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.
Bore from the undercut from the start.
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
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!!!
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 KZhead hugger!!!
@je❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂❤😂😂❤❤ de,, de de remydavis340.
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.
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,
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
that tree was holding that cliff together , next time it rains the cliff will fall
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!!!
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????
Not his decision to fall these trees! But quit exporting them off shore!!
Jungle killers..
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 ??
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!!!
PISS OF BIG SISTER !
Why don't you get the hell out of the way and let the man do his job without your "advice"?
Could you be more specific
Let the faller do the falling. Stay out of the way and stand clear.
@@user-xm4ep1rl1j and watch him make a mistake? What exactly in this video should I have done better. Please provide a timestamp if possible
@@BjarneButler He's the faller. You should not be there. If you think he is going to make a mistake then he should not be a faller.
Stop killing our Earth
Ok pay me not to then 🫴
Stop doing this. Do not cut down these trees like this.
Why?
Why are they taking down OLD GROWTH FOR!!!
LEAVE THEM BE IF HEALTHY!!!!
Asks a person who is more than likely living in some kind of wood framed structure !!!!! Old growth is exactly that..trees near their point of total rot and collapse, is wasting that material too rot superior to utilizing it for construction material ???
It makes the best firewood.

To jest fajne gratuluje głupoty dla zysku czego człowiek nie zrobi
ต้นไม้แต่ละต้นกว่าจะโตได้ขนาดนี้ใช้เวลาร้อยๆปีแต่คุณใช้เวลาตัดแค่ไม่กี่นาทีเอง แล้วทำไมประเทศของคุณไปบอกคนทั่วโลกให้รักป่าไม้ธรรมชาติห้ามตัดไม้ทำลายป่าแต่พวกคุณกลับทำลายปืาแบบน่
