28. Bent My Bar Trying To Fall A Snag

[@Toonseskat]

That bent bar, autographed, would make a neat wall hang for my hobby chainsaw shop.😎

[@Smokey66s]

or a Bjarne Butler KZbin fan gift? For their wall!

[@donhayenes3047]

Not much logging where I’m from. I have become hooked on watching you work and how accurately you guys an fell these trees huge trees. Thank you for the entertainment and please be safe sir!

[@chadaccettura1993]

You're a great example of a Pacific Northwest faller. thanks for sharing, be safe! 👍

[@cheapsmoke4096]

came in with a chainbar left with a hockey stick ;D

[@seanarbor3759]

I love the echo of other chainsaws when you weren’t cutting and talking, it’s very therapeutic for me 😉👍👍

[@scotmayall3067]

The tip tickler you are there so many roads to go down from here. Hate to see equipment get torn up Glad you is safe……🤩

[@DrTubeman]

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.

[@geraldfelchGoose]

Bjarne elaborate on the timber thieves Thanks

[@robertodebeers2551]

So much attention to the undercut. Something many of us never mastered, I imagine, including myself.

[@polarlab113]

He is good at making sure there are no chances taken.every move is assessed.I get shaking my head watching other guys like the tree services in town that think they know falling😂😂😂

[@stephenmeeks684]

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.

[@Alexhulk]

Very entertaining to watch man! I've got adrenaline just at watching it! Tanks for sharing

Thanks for watching 🤙

Hey maybe auction that bar off it’ll make a Great Wall hanger for sure!

[@danielmiddleton8173]

That bar looks like a hockey stick blade now. Dreams of playing for the Canucks?

[@kenbarbret6632]

That'll iron right out. No Problem. 🙂 Seriously, glad it didn't get you! If it bent the bar, it would definitely bend your noggin!

[@longlowdog]

Timber thieves. Oh man you have to explain more about that.

[@DeadWoodLogging6996]

Stay safe !

[@phillipmcnab4242]

You haven't bent a bar Bjarne...you've got yourself half a pair or skis..haha :}

[@adlerundwolf4718]

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.

Iiiii iiiii found them stihl were light in steel bend very easy in my life time BJarne. That my 2 cent worth in bars .

[@ToddAdams1234]

That’s also part of how those are made so lightweight. Theirs no such things as a free ride in this life.

[@acidheadzzz]

35:30 Like bowling for dollars lol did anyone ever tell you that you were good? hahaaaah that played out exactly like you planned it to play out. 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!!

[@buddysumner4022]

I agree with you 100% if that would have been a 500i, 661, or 462 they would have been pulled apart, they are as flimsy as a dish rag, 🤣😂

[@monicagrant6092]

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

[@BjarneButler]

In BC we’re not allowed to clear it anymore, so the cut-blocks are now smaller

[@1234mrtit]

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]

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

[@polarlab113]

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]

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]

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

[@drive9997]

awesome be careful

[@Wewoka54]

So your boss told you to start your cuts lower?

[@BjarneButler]

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]

@@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).

[@jimyoungblood1687]

How did dead trees come to be called "snags?"

[@polarlab113]

Right! And how did the term school marm come to be?I know !let’s see if anyone out there has an answer

[@Dave_9547]

@@polarlab113 I think I know the answer to that one, but will let someone else chime in. 😁

[@ToddAdams1234]

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.

[@hiscifi2986]

I thought Hemlock was valuable, for making Axe Handles, and Hockey Sticks. Or maybe I am thinking of Hickory..

[@davidhaworth7152]

Hockey sticks haven’t been wood for 25 years+

[@weilfast]

Hickory for handles. Hemlock is usually a low grade stud, or trim.

[@morgankruse4666]

Hemlock is garbage

[@ToddAdams1234]

@@morgankruse4666does it make “ok” firewood? Even Pine burns, although their are better choices. I’m just overly “blessed” with Pine to use for wood and practically nothing else. Heat is heat.😊

[@morgankruse4666]

@ToddAdams1234 yeah, it burns, but you don't get much heat and it creates a lot of creosote. Fir is best, l really like maple

[@-108-]

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]

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

[@-108-]

@@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”

[@Dave_9547]

@@-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.

Wtf dude? No haters.and it’s a walker saw

[@dallasdavis3246]

bent the stihl bar because you dont like other bars because stihl is better quality

I think the stihl light bars are the best. I rarely wear out a tip, I also use a bar grinder to get more life out of the bar

The snag make a lot off bundles cedar firewood 🪵 at $11.95 per / bundle BJarne. 😊

Really that price for soft wood we get 7 dollars a bundle for true hard wood. Rip off

@@chuckbeliles3242not a ripoff when that’s your only choice except for going cold. That’s why I’m having to settle for burning Pine.
