170. Bucking 8ft Wide Log

[@MichaelMcIntyre-rv6fn]

Thank you, that was very interesting. In the winter of 1970, In Fork's WA., I worked as a bucker behind a famous faller; Myren Simmons [ he worked as a faller with a hand saw, when he was young]. We worked in an old growth Cedar swamp. I bucked giant trees like that 6 hours a day. I think " Bjarne" is the greatest faller/bucker [ single-jack] in the world today. His videos are a treasure, beyond measure! Michael

Swish work nutting the bucking of the log all out yeah, chur for another slick reel, Bjarne...

[@1944chevytruck]

AWESOME!

I'm an ex forestor born in Canada who grew up in the UK although never worked in Canada as a forestor. I noticed when the chain clogged up you cleared by pulling the blocked chain towards you. I always found pushing the saw ie in the same sense of rotation the chain cleared quicker.

[@kelseywiniata9249]

Only thing with that is if you're dogged into the cut you'd have to pull your bar clear then push it through, but I see what you mean and can see how it would also work

[@paulboucher806]

@@kelseywiniata9249 I was referring to after you've pulled the saw out of the cut if that's what you mean by dogged. I'm not aware of the expression. I have dogs on my saw which serve to lever the bar to cut down through the log when cross cutting or later limbing

Echt gut deine Arbeit 😊

[@proshoman]

It would really be interesting to see what the rigging crew does when they are yarding out and ripping logs

[@Ian-xv7kb]

these are heli logs

[@melcurline2160]

Great content would you ever go to different countries to do logging. New Zealand?

[@garyhead577]

That's a big tree....😮

[@stevenowell]

I'm not sure if I could have gotten back on my feet after getting tangled up in that top.

[@MtnHiker]

What length bars do the bucking crews use?

[@FinnishClimber]

36inch generally for bucking, and 6ft bar for rippers usually mounted on a 3120xp or 880/881 Stihl

Extreme Bjarne!! Nerf of steel

[@destroywoodusa]

Good🎉

[@mrMacGoover]

A big tree of that diameter WITH a rotten core still will yield a decent amount of lumber.

[@lambadalou]

Great movie 🎥 Bjarne, that big red is a pipe!! I’m wondering what the maximum lifting capacity is for the bird that’s logging your timber? Stay safe out there ✊

[@TrevorDennis100]

I finally know how to pronounce your name @1:00 Google gave me two different pronunciations, but neither of them matched the way you say it.

[@finpainter1]

Does that cedar dust bother you? It would give me bad asthma. Hard on lungs.

[@johncowperthwaite2525]

Why does your chain bind up ..

[@RMosher11]

How do they rip the downed logs Bjarne? They just do it with chainsaws?

[@eddyarundale1566]

👋🏼

[@pedrolopesatc6776]

the big heli drops a log on top of one of the cuts you did ,,,, and its a show of roling pieces ,,, the rigers do the rest

[@MtnHiker]

What video resolution are you using to shoot your videos? Your's are the only videos I watch that constantly stall to reload my buffer. Perhaps a lower resolution would provide you with more hours of memory and less interruptions for viewers?

[@joegreenwood1443]

I don't get any stall, it plays right through here.

[@mke6445davis]

It’s good for me, maybe your internet

Your the badest STHL bar husky saw
