I'd be interested to know more about the tree thieves you mentioned Bjarne. Cripes that slap snapping off bent one heck of a banana in your bar...the shite happens so quickly it's deadly, thanks for the reel, Fella.

Have you ever seen “Zain AG Channel” and how those Indonesians cut down their teak and tremblesi trees? The trees are buttressed at the bottom and they cut the stem 6” above the ground to fell them. They use Stihl saws. They then buck them and carry them to a truck with poles and 8 to twelve men. You are amazing as well. The way you cut those large trees like they are weeds in a garden.

It’s like cutting down money and having it falling into and knocking over other money. It’s no wonder your boss likes you so…. Ya money falling over and ready for pick up. I can just imagine the lumber and cedar shakes and shingles they can get out of those giant cedar trees. Yes well done Bjarne!!

Good job on such big trees, expecially when they are not healthy anymore. I am from austria, working in my own forst, but with much smaler trees. Question about how you do reforst in your country such big areas... smal plants by hand, seeds by plane, or waiting for the natural reforest by seeds from standing trees.

I see on the mountains that there are patches of trees still standing. Is this to stop the erosion? Not familiar with logging.

Yes it’s a habit of mine e of making them too high sometimes. There’s always something to improve out here in the bush.

@ToddAdams1234 4 ай бұрын

@@BjarneButlerBut your boss doesn’t seem to understand the why’s behind a high stump. I’m fairly certain that in many of YOUR cases that it’s to prevent runaway timber from freely rolling down the mountain and doing dangerous things like undue damage that doesn’t need to happen OR to prevent harm to other potential fallers way down the mountain (if anyone is out there).

Bjarne why does you chain get stoppd by the sawdust that many times, is that normal? I don't run bars so big so i don't have any expirience with them

@MrThenry1988 4 ай бұрын

Part of the tree is dead. That will cause a pinch. Can also bend the bar.

@polarlab113 4 ай бұрын

The kerf gets stuffed with sawdust and the saw can’t eject it from deep inside so you have to keep blowing it out or we used call it “oiling out of the cut”it’s a real old school term.

@BjarneButler 4 ай бұрын

Ya sawdust gets bound between the bar and chain. I sometimes get too aggressive and should keep the rpms higher so that doesn’t happen

@1234mrtit 4 ай бұрын

aaa i see, thanks for the explaining guys, i run 20" bars on my saws and never get the problem, guessing it's because the bar is that much smaller

@ToddAdams1234 4 ай бұрын

Snag refers to the old western frontier days when those folks often had very poor dental hygiene and they had a “snaggle puss” mouth/face, hence the much nicer “snag” in common language these days. School Marm has my attention though, unless it’s referring to the fact of an old time school teacher living in/off of the school. It makes sense anyway.

One cannot "fall" anything. The correct word, no matter the tense, is "fell." Thus, "I Bent My Bar Trying To Fell A Snag" is the correct title for your video.

@Dave_9547 4 ай бұрын

That is why in traditional terms Bjarne is a "feller" not a faller, but the term has changed over time.

@-108- 4 ай бұрын

@@Dave_9547 Actually, the term has not changed in this respect at all over time. ORIGIN OF "FELL": First recorded before 900; Middle English fellen, fillen, fullen, Old English fellan, fyllan “to cut, cut down, destroy, shed (tears),” causative of feallan “to fall, fall down”; cognate with Gothic falljan, Old Frisian falla, fella, Old High German fellen, German fällen “to make fall”

@@-108- I guess my comment should have been a little clearer when I talked about changing terms. My dad was a logger, owned his own company, I worked four summers logging and was around logging for a log time. No one in that group used any term but "fallers", which may well have been incorrect, but that's the term they used including the men who did the "felling" and bucking. I only became aware of the difference by reading books on the early days of logging in the PNW.
