What an amazing day to experience the life of a lumberjack in the BIG Cedar Country!

[@marcduclos9789]

Your partner hangs in there, He deserve all the encouragement you can give him.

[@alexlittle5915]

Love the encouragement with Mitch! Loved following along this shift when you were doubling up! Thank you for the behind the scenes 😊😊🙏🙏

A few nice Cedars in this quarter, nice work Bjarne

[@DrTubeman]

Excellent reel footage Bjarne, cripes that blasting rock slug embedded halfway up the Cedar was trippy. Chur for the real Lumberjacks reel.

Wow that first one didn't want to go, but it managed to save out pretty nice 👍👍

[@gmusic1303]

[@TomokosEnterprize]

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.

[@dws5951]

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.

[@Wickedscreams18]

I can atest to this, When mine blasted me in the face I needed stitches and some dental work

[@misterjunggle3250]

HONTE A VOUS !

[@LGTrees]

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!!

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 .

[@calspaugh8078]

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.

Do you feel guilty when you see bats fly out of those old cedar no more home for you?

[@dws5951]

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.

[@richardthut7071]

@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 🤷

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

[@michaelhoran407]

This is sickening destruction of old growth forest and wildlife habitat. They should return to building cast iron buildings and steel frame houses.

[@dws5951]

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.

[@BjarneButler]

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. 🤙
