55. HAMMER TIME | Big Tree, Steep Hill

[@russellgilson4072]

Bjarne you've got the agility of a mountain goat, professional placement of cuts in the falling procedure impressive!

[@TomokosEnterprize]

If you set it up right you get to go home tonight. Been using that little ditty for a very long time my friend.

[@lambadalou]

Absolutely outstanding movie 🎥 today Bjarne!! You really showed the intricacies of our profession. From assessing, to strategizing, to performing, to completion. Damn fine Faller ✊✊

[@DrTubeman]

There was so much spectacular scenery that you captured from different angles in this reel Bjarne, lf I had to pick a favorite for a thumbnail 1:20:01. A great tribute to the old tree is that it challenged and fought you all the way to it's striking fall ah. That river wash out beside the road would be a great spot to do some gold panning ah. Cheers for a memorable reel Fella.

[@swagtech_]

Built to conquer the toughest challenges - these heavy-duty machines are unmatched.

[@gerrylarson3675]

Great when a plan works out. Nice that it laid down real gently. From here in my living room, it looked like one har d thump and you could be on top of the next rockslide😮. Thanks and happy Easter!

[@mikepici5553]

Bjarne that jack tree was almost a stove pipe,awesome fall brother beautifully done

[@TomokosEnterprize]

The fella is a big wood machine eh.

[@leonardryan8723]

Happy Easter Sunday buddy . 🎉😊

[@finpainter1]

Awesome scenery

[@masaharumorimoto4761]

Love starting my day with your video and coffee, thanks for filming, I DO appreciate the efforts, i'm physically disabled, stuck in the city and miss the woods lol.

[@markat9576]

Thanks for letting us see inside the beautiful world that you get to work in. What views you have, 6:42.

[@kway7583]

Bjarne, you and your office never disappoint. Thank You.

[@Alexhulk]

Wow man Love to cut a giant tree like that..! Juste one time

[@markbunyan9092]

Brilliant Bjarne, awesome bit of falling there.

[@JimPalmgren]

This whole program was amazing

[@SMJ95]

Happy Easter my man! Thanks for your day to day cutting content. Cheers!!

[@leonardryan8723]

Hey #2 is a hammer fir timber, today double time , meal ticket 🎫 and mileage. Good to see the boss out checking out for any problems in your wood yard BJarne. Remember THINK 🤔 SAFETY bring you home end off the day as a logger buddy . 😊

[@markbacker7862]

Your perseverance is absolutely off the charts. You win the award for the most stick-to-it-tiveness. Every time I’ve seen you take down a really “BIG DOG” tree, each 1 from what I can remember was bigger than the last. Every problem or setback for you never really seemed to be that way because you had not just answers but, the right answer for each individual situation leading to the best possible result considering the particulars of each 1 of those big/ tricky behemoth trees. I would have to say the way you handle the LARGE trees is without a doubt a work of art. You can be called many things & you can add MASTER PROBLEM SOLVER to the list. I couldn’t possibly clap long enough or loud enough for the standing ovation you deserve. You may take a bow or 10 or 50 or as many as you like. You’ve said you can’t believe that you actually get paid to do what you consider to be fun. Like the way people refer to a SWISS ARMY KNIFE in a utilitarian way, you ARE the Canadian equivalent to that. Problems beware because eventually Bjarne Butler will find & eliminate you.

[@robertodebeers2551]

The creek really loves that road bed.

[@ericjones2315]

I hope you get paid well for all that work nice job really cool stuff keep making videos

[@jonsmith4849]

Thanks man ..I miss the mountains and the sound of saws ..alot more than I ever thought I would ..

[@nikky3piece452]

Happy Easter Mr Butler. Jesus has Risen!! God bless you & your family!!!!

[@2990rick]

👍👍

[@ronblair9763]

This tree looks like Groot, smiling. I enjoy the scenery where you work. Very skilled

[@leonardryan8723]

Bjarne your putting out YELLOW GOLD on the WEDGE beautiful with background in the pics . You should start SALE scenery pics on line buddy . Blow pic up for someone living room wall buddy . 😊

[@DuhartCreek]

Absolutely great video. Felling trees is dangerous, but you take it to another level. Great job!!

[@kingslew1866]

It never gets old...🙃

[@glenspryszak6005]

Take time to pan that washout......... easy pickings.

[@leonardryan8723]

The scenery by your side make a man HOMESICK for sure buddy 😊 . My son on Vancouver Island BC. 😊

[@hiscifi2986]

Looking at the design of them Spring-boards, I was wondering if you were going to use the 1:7 for Dovetail Joints..😀😀😀 That is Picture Postcard Scenery, Many Thanks..

[@randym8147]

Thank you for the longer content. I enjoy it more.

[@dennissorensen9320]

You make this look easy... and it's far from easy. Great videos.

[@2990rick]

🤔 your boss could save himself some time, all he has to do is watch your video's if he want's to see cut down a tree 😉 Happy Easter. .... He has risen 👍

[@Alexhulk]

Great work That was super cooool

[@carebear2272]

I know of one cedar that got over looked in the snoqualmie area near the Indians up river near the old train trestle from the old warehouser mill, it’s almost as thick of four of those. Hidden well were use to be a cabin swampy area, broken top with castling top and green left. Don’t know how solid it is somebody tried to go around it with chainsaw and it’s still some what alive. Hate to go near it anymore there’s a lot of druggys close by.

[@JHizzleinthebizzlePNW]

I'm on the area I would love to go look at that

[@carebear2272]

Just go past the Indian junk yard and park before the next house on the right headed east on reining road. The property is owned by king county parks now, there should be a bull rail blocking the old road to cabin site, think the fire place is still there, but it’s behind that, not far off the road but sill over grown and a bush wack. Hard to tell it’s there because it seems not very tall from the road. Thing has to be a 2000 year old tree. My map on my iPhone shows the dead top pretty good

[@robertodebeers2551]

Bjarne makes it look easy.

[@malcolmpym507]

An extremely difficult , technical and very dangerous job was mastered so professionally . A true professional and skillful person. Please stay safe and send some very interesting videos especially of the lovely scenery. out of interest was was the approximate weight of the tree?

[@Alexhulk]

Impressive

[@lewjones7272]

What a show!

[@karlbuttler]

Wow you must be Strong as an Ox, I I think I would need to take a nap after that, it must be really Great to eat lunch out there in the Forest.....k

[@BjarneButler]

Ya eating lunch with such a fantastic view is nice perk of the job

[@bobgreenthumb8066]

do you ever sign the stump, as an artist would? WOW you have the world's biggest art gallery

[@joebourke1018]

You make it look easy, good job 👍. Have you tried GoPro, attach it to your hardhat?

[@Popdaddy580]

Great work not only with the trees but with your attention to the video. The question I have is how much fuel do you go through and do pack that into the job site or are you close enough to your vehicle that you can fuel there or do you have a person doing that work for you?

[@wadelintick9538]

Hey brother, is that Eve river? Beauty cedar there. cheers

[@Alexhulk]

Iam sure you can build a log cabin whit no nails!! Only a powersaw

[@dcvariousvids8082]

That ice was pretty neat. Still but still giving a sense of movement.

[@davefran01]

It's always the same no one ever gets the jack pocket big enough the first time 😃 she hung on a long time as much rat as it had.thanks

[@tatsnneeps341]

Superb video 👍

[@markyoung3044]

wow you really no your stuff about tree falling good job on that big tree i have done a little chainsawing my self

[@yldtrky6396]

Is that the 592? It has the other brand bar.

[@mikepici5553]

It still has a lot of footage in her

[@patrickdean4853]

So much of the big timber seems to have butt rot, is it even commercially profitable to harvest?

[@dommers97]

what pants are you rocking Bjarne?

[@guesswhoscomingfordinner8264]

Your videos are always big entertainment. What surprises me most is the fact that you and your Engish speaking fellows use the Humboldt notch as a front cut whereas here in Germany and other European countries the second front cut is done from above the first horizontal cut. Sure the stem slides down a bit smoother with the Humboldt notch but besides from that I cant really see the pros and cons. What does your boss say to your youtube videos as that takes some time you cant use for your cutting job? Stay healthy!

[@mke6445davis]

Using a Humboldt cut you take the wedge out of the stump and not out of the log your sending to the mill

[@ToreDL87]

From what I'm seeing a lot of the youtubing he's doing happens while he contemplates and plans things out anyway, thinking things out loud so to speak. Also it's in the logging industry's best interest to appeal to the masses in a world that grows increasingly unappreciative, at least this way their side is told the way it is rather than the way of someone with nefarious intents.

[@bobstewart4342]

I'm beginning to understand why wood is so expensive. 3 trees like that could take all day and not at the mill yet.

[@Notyou69420]

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@alexandersangster7137]

3 of these in a day? I think it would take me all day to do 1

[@GB-mu9ue]

One of the reasons is the war in Ukraine. Russia was a huge supplier.

[@dLnug]

Yall have to think how many sticks of lamber comes out of one tree. I would guess a 1500qs house in one tree

[@leroymorris6036]

Monster tree, happy Resurrection day...

[@in4merATP]

TBH I'm a little conflicted about the separate microphone audio. On one hand, the clarity of speaking is excellent, and you don't have to shout, Bjarne. On the other hand, the area mic on the camera is really top notch when you're cutting. The secondary mic while cutting sounds awful--totally over modulated, depending on how your body placement is relative to the saw. So I like the new mic, but I also don't like the new mic. Is there a way to get the audio from both, and let your editor mix between them?

[@Mike-x9h5f]

I did Snicker a little bit when your first cup was not level

[@lindyibbotson4859]

Why do you have to cut down the big trees and not the small one. Here in Australia we are trying to not cut down the great big trees And what are the ones you cut down used for My father and grandfather were loggers in Tasmania Australia

[@MrJocad]

Awesome job! But, if you put this beam, on witch you are standing, flat side up, it will be more suported and easy to stand on it. Anywey, great job, I will never have the courage to do this! Congrats.

[@davidhaworth7152]

With the spikes in his boots I don’t think he’s too worried.

[@randytaylor1814]

Fall ...yard (or fly) buck ...load truck (or tow ) unload (mill yard ) cut ...market (boat ?) or local

[@garybales978]

I am retired from the medical field. However, I am curious what your profession earns a year? Whatever it is, it is not enough. Keep on making videos!

[@BjarneButler]

I’d say 80-100k after taxes if you get a full year of 200days. Some guys work more and some guys go firefighting in the summer. You get paid more firefighting, but it’s boring work.

[@jamiebroadstock4142]

When you were cutting down the number 2 tree and sun was coming thru it looked like a scene out of a movie. Almost fake looking

[@akhyark8548]

GJ Bro 👍👍👍

[@Scott-d7d]

It's a big effort to take those 3 big trees to the mill yes, but there's a crap ton of lumber in those same trees. Lumber or anything else doesn't need to be so expensive.

[@TomokosEnterprize]

3 of those a day a fella can retire early eh !

[@joshpitts25]

And most think wood just appeared at home depot 😅

[@marekvollach7831]

iF THE HELICOPTER LIFTS THESE LOGS OUT AND FEED YOU A CABLE it really is not that specific as to where the log lands

[@darnmartian9766]

Man you like to live dangerous I hope it never catches up to you but you have to consider the odds. Did you ever think of using one of those crevice clips the climbers use you can just curf a slot in the wood pop in a crevice catch

[@PontiacLS]

I know you have to work but man I hate when you cut down such a beautiful tree. The hundreds of years it took for it to grow..😮

[@ToreDL87]

That's why they do it, a lot of these trees are dying or on the verge of dying but for years will still get the water that nearby trees need to grow potentially far larger (2-3 generations from now). They don't go around whacking down everything in sight, that's unsustainable, it's not like you might have been led to believe.

[@terrancemathews-th6pd]

Undercut to small

[@leesharp7683]

Many years ago when i was falling the same type of tree. I maybe fell 100 hardwood trees. Madrone and Chincapin a type of oak. Than fall two of the big trees maybe three. But i had to rip the first tree logs i cut off to. There would be from 80,000 board foot to 120,000 board foot per tree. It is funny i made better money falling the hardwood trees. I got 1.50 per hardwood and was getting 3.00 dollars a thousand board on the Redwoods. They never let me work over a 5 hour day. I started at the top of unit falling and jacking up hill. Yarder units. Some of the bigger trees just one per day. But 12 or 14 foot across maybe three. Ripping in half the first 80 foot. Iots i had to quarter also. 20 ft long prefered length. 40 foot long also. My shortest bar was 42 inches. Stumped with 60 inch bar. Those days a 125 McCulloch was the only saw to use. That was work.

[@BjarneButler]

Ya that sounds like a lot of work alright. The “old timers” got all the valley bottom giants

[@leesharp7683]

Yes they did. Close to the river transport. People don't realize how monster huge the Redwood forest actually is. They only see from the roads and rivers. It goes from inside southern Oregon down through California the Sierra Nevada's mountain range below Sacramento. California has the largest trees in the world. Thank Jedidiah Smith and President Lincoln.

[@sydrider6023]

I could heat my house for two days with that wedge….

[@Florida239]

It’s your channel and I respect that 💯….but in my opinion your videos need to be around 10 or 15 minutes, just showing all of the best parts! I love watching timber cutting but I don’t. Even. Have time in the evenings to watch your videos. I’m sure everyone else with kids and jobs can’t either, your views would go way up and your subscribers too in my opinion. Like I said it’s your channel so your the boss always great content stay safe out there 👍 🇺🇸

[@petepeterson4540]

you could have sold that burle for $1000.00 US Dollars to furniture repair guys or cabinet makers

Wow I’ll have to source some buyers for next time🤙

[@nathanjoerndt8804]

those trees were way too close to that truck!!!! someone should have moved that truck so that it didn't get smashed.

[@mjay4700]

The reason for cutting needs more explanation

[@BjarneButler]

You mean in general? This tree is going to a sawmill. I work in the logging industry

[@mjay4700]

@@BjarneButler Thanks for the reply. I guess I meant the "job" reasoning. Was this private owned and they're logging to clear space, just wanted to profit off the logs, etc. I'm always curious about the decisions.
