Fun day cutting Hemlock and Fir | Old Growth Heli-logging in the sun

[@paulsimpson3891]

I am a forester in Arkansas in the Southern US. I am interested in the type regeneration that is practiced in these harvested areas. Is it naturally regenerated or planted? If planted , what species is used in planting? Love your videos!

[@kevinjones2667]

What a way to start my day. Cup of coffee n mr bjarne. Merry Christmas brother ❤ from pnw oregon

[@BjarneButler]

Thanks Kevin. Merry Christmas

That Stihl light bar looks easier to swing around. Makes the Husky light bar look like a slug

[@Dan-nl2ug]

Bjarne,thank you so much for doing these awesome video's,brings back so many memories,since I have not worked in the woods for 2 decades now,good stuff

[@Dan-nl2ug]

@text-7520 just noticed you replied to me,Dan from Washington state

[@jbthor9032]

The bigger they are the harder they fall. Crash, Boom, Bang. Do you ever get to see any wild animals while you are there or does the load noise of the chain saws scare them away.

[@BjarneButler]

Ya the only thing we see is squirrels and birds. Everything else get scared away

What boots do you wear I've seen the viking husqvarna boots for wet conditions What do you wear on normal days

[@bchdsailor]

You have to start a school for fellow tree fellers "how to swing the axe when wedging"

[@BjarneButler]

Haha actually had thought about an online course but I would need to film on my own time or have my own contract. Couldn’t do it at work. It’s been an idea for a while just not feasible in my current work environment

[@dougdodge8801]

You have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year's 🎄⛄🎊😃

[@johnmaclellan2589]

That tree that was so crooked we can call " the banana tree".

[@johnfahey7215]

Saw that branch fall! Hard hat probably saved my bacon once, slipped on ice, went down backwards on my neck/head! Thought I broke my clavicle. Guy on the backhoe said my hat flew up in the air 30 feet! Good thing it was cold, had my hat liner buckled with chinstrap. Mighta broke my neck! Close call. Thanks for the videos, always put 'em on full screen. The Old Retired Laborer

[@mikepici5553]

I don't remember if I asked you before but are you running full house or full skip and is it square ground

[@elemental4rce]

noticed you're debarking on the sides now! definitely looks to be making a difference when you can do it. A lot of the time you're on such steep terrain you can't even get to the far side! Great video as per Bjarne

[@dalebrames5573]

You said take the time to be safe. On a earlier video a limb harpooned your brand new 592. Another you were bucking a log standing on a log. Next thing you know you were like a human ping pong ball. Great videos Bjarne. Be safe always no matter what

[@KevinsDisobedience]

Shit happens, man. You gotta get work done, and there’s always a risk-in Bjarne’s case, a big risk. He’s the only one out there problem solving in real time. And I can tell you personally (different construction trade but same sorta risk-reward trade-off), sometimes we take chances we probably shouldn’t to get the job done quickly and efficiently. Most of the time it’s calculated and we get away with it, but you’re only in so much control when you’re out in the bush falling big timber. Cheers.

[@kenbarbret6632]

I don't regret the life and trade that I did for many years, but I certainly do envy your skills and life you've chosen to share with us. To be out in the wild and using nothing but your own skill to produce lumber for the rest of the world to use to create homes and other things is truly a fulfilling dream for most men and even some women. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@jeffcampbell6314]

When were these videos filmed? The sun has been shining for several weeks.

[@BjarneButler]

These vids were probably early November. I’m actually gunna run out of videos at end of December. So there’ll probably be a week or so of no content until I get back from camp and can upload to KZbin. I missed more work then I planned recently

[@randyballew8795]

Have you ever used spring boards, or is that not feasible?

[@johnboogman8825]

LIVED IN IDAHO FOR 25 YEARS. THEY HAD AT LEAST 2 DOZ. MILLS WHEN WE CAME THERE. WHEN WE LEFT THERE AS ONE MILL! SURELY DO MISS THE LOGGING PROFESSION. THANKS TO THE SPOTTED OWL AND THE TREE HUGGERS, IT'S PRETTY MUCH OVER. SO,, YES I ENJOY WATCHING YOU MAKE IT LOOK EASY. HAVE A GOOD CHRISTMAS- YOU AND YOURS.

[@hillbilly6264]

Love to watch you cut, have watched all your videos. Merry Christmas and a safe New Year.

[@jbthor9032]

Even though you are wearing cleats on your shoes you don't have any problem walking along on the logs. To you its a cake walk. Without the cleats can you still walk on the logs without falling? You're good at because you have been doing it for so long. Nice job Bjarne 👍

[@BjarneButler]

I would slip for sure if I didn’t have caulks.

[@RadWilly]

Great video! What's for second breakfast?

[@BjarneButler]

We get up so early lunch actually feels like second breakfast sometimes haha

[@visionz9658]

how much does something like this pay ?

[@jeremyg5318]

Good pay

[@leebelliveau3650]

Bjarne, have you done a video of the logs and what takes place after you drop them all the way to the mill including processing by the mill. If not; why not. would be most interesting.

[@BjarneButler]

I haven’t. I don’t have access to those operations generally. That would be a job for an actual film crew that have the time and budget to do that

[@marcinszafranski4452]

🎄Merry Christmas Bjarne 🎄 Thanks for all your videos🤘🪓 Stay safe💪

[@donpolk6555]

Bjarne, thinking about 4 more sweaters. I really like how warm they are. What would the price of shipping them be ?

[@BjarneButler]

Hi don. Did you msg me on the website. I haven’t checked in a while. If not msg me on Instagram and give me you address and I can give you a shipping quote. Thanks 🙏

[@KevinsDisobedience]

Nice buck at 7mins. You made that look easy.

[@KevinsDisobedience]

I love the long workday videos. Keep ‘em comin!

[@elemental4rce]

well well well look who it is! ;)

[@allenhuling598]

Haven't commented for a while now, but I try to watch every one.....full length! Always appreciate the work put into making these and especially when you talk your way thru the block! Enjoyed the editor's music choice at the 48....54 min mark! Merry Christmas to you and the family.....work safe!

[@mikepici5553]

Bjarne hope you and your family have a happy and healthy merry Christmas

[@leonardryan8723]

Keep up great job Bjance

[@brucestuart8180]

Hey Bjarne, awesome video as usual. I’ve learned a lot from you, pushed my first tree in the backyard the other day, couple of ash trees, they were limb tied. It worked out perfectly. Are you guys responsible to keep a safe distance from each other? Some of those other trees crashing down sound really close to you.

[@BjarneButler]

Yes we’re responsible for keep a minimum 2 tree length distance apart. But we almost never work that close, no one likes having a tree top landing 20ft from you when your bucking at the top of your tree. The key is having a plan with your partner and only change it after he been notified and it works for him too. Unfortunately a lot of accidents are from poor communication

[@brucestuart8180]

Thanks Bjarne, absolutely agree, communication is usually the culprit for accidents. Keep up the great work, I love it.

[@Jona_Villa]

Fantastic, Douglas-fir video.

[@asimplierlife3104]

@ BB - Serious question, but only from a personal curiosity perspective - how many of you west coast guys square file?

please do not chew your food directly into your recording device. it's disgusting and annoying.

[@boblohof4579]

Yeah I saw that vid about you getting flipped off the log. You be safe out there! You can get to help but not very quickly!

Love the channel. So uch better than Axe Men.

👋🏻

[@robertmills3554]

Why do you cut an X in the top of some of the freshly cut stumps?

[@BjarneButler]

It’s usually to mark a failed stump, a snag outside the line which means it was done for safety purposes, and I also use it on high stumps I want to hold wood from rolling

[@galemyrica]

Merry Christmas 😇

[@BjarneButler]

Thanks you too

[@leonardryan8723]

MERRY CHRISTMAS Bjarne and FAMILY.

[@chrispond2992]

What cc saw do you typically use?

[@BjarneButler]

Husky 592

Can't imaging taking a bunch of random videos from a day's work and making them into a story worth watching. Nice job all around... Be safe and Merry Christmas.
