Awesome work and channel, thank you for sharing "life on the edge" with the rest of us folks :)

[@involvedbystander66]

NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN

[@ragnarjonsson1122]

Always nice to watch a pro in action.

[@lawnmanmartinfan7909]

You have a great office (calm down i know it sucks sometimes, weather/ cold temps ect) & a crazy job. I couldn't work on a side hill like that.be safe & thanks

[@robdavis331]

Truly a Master at your trade!

[@navydogsadventures3500]

It was great hearing you yelling like a timber faller!👍 Reminds me of the good ole days there!😀

[@eriknelson6529]

Sometimes you have those days brother. Keep up the great work!

[@allenhuling598]

Great video, Bjarne, always thankful that you take the time to film and explain your work plan as much as you do! Gotta say that on that ground very few of your escape routes seem adequate, but that's coming from an older guy with worn out knees! Cheers for a great 2021...work safe!

[@BjarneButler]

Thanks, there’s always room for improvement

[@tracycastleberry9040]

Wish I could have watched your videos 50 years ago when I was cutting a lot of firewood for the family. Please do a vid on how you sharpen your chains for different woods. I always thought sharpen till it's sharp. Of coarse all we cut was hardwoods, still your saw cuts great in all your vids. Keep it up.

[@Bigmike3406E]

Great video again . Thanks for sharing . Stay safe brother.

Really enjoyed your video Bjarne all your videos are good. Thank You

[@woos31]

Nice work pard, looked like a right nice day to be on a hillside reducing shade. Life's full of "I shouldas"......no matter your profession, just as long as we take somethin away from it when they happen is all we can ask right? No injuries to the cutter other than the pride jabbing one gives himself when he sends a high grade to Diamond Match and Toothpick Co., but still better than having yer bump hat shoved down to the caulk shoe tops!! Safe cuttin out there pal and lookin forward to the next one

[@BjarneButler]

Thanks you too Randy

[@IRONHORSE427RACING]

@@BjarneButler Yeah so far so good. Staying away from the damned Virus luckily but it's hard to catch it out in the Timber Everyday lol. We have had a very low snowfall so far so we've been able to really pile up the logs. On windy days we can haul from the landings to the Mill so were keeping busy and are actually ahead of schedule. We should have this tract finished up by First of July so were already putting in bids for the next. Oh I wanted to tell you we got to test run the new Husky 572XP power head.....wow buddy.....I slapped a 32" bar with full chisel 3/8" .50" chain and it dont even make it Grunt ! So impressed with it....were keeping this one and just got another for our Son.... Buddy I dont know what or how they did it but the power to weight ratio is out of this world.....you have a 72cc saw that runs like it's at least 90cc's and weighs like a 16" homeowner saw ! If you get a chance try one and see what you think. I know it would be a smallish saw for what you get into but I would like to hear your opinion. Take Care Buddy, Talk soon. R.C. "Charlie" Hill.

[@petehendry4756]

Good to see you again Bjarne .why do they make you cut the roton ones ?

[@BjarneButler]

For safety mostly

[@jamesbay4807]

Love the videos. I build road on the west coast of bc and Vancouver island I recognize a lot of the areas you fall in. I wonder if we will ever cross paths

[@BjarneButler]

Maybe, it’s been a while since I’ve done any ROW work, it’s some of my favourite type of cutting always opening up

[@jamesbay4807]

@@BjarneButler yeah I see you do a lot of heli. I am a blaster, actually just yesterday I had to blast a big cedar snag off the high side. It Was about 8ft at the butt. It was split right down the middle and needed to to. She is gone. Thanks for the videos i enjoy the content you put out here. Thank you for taking the time to do so. Stay safe out there.

[@frankwoodward9914]

Well Bjarne looks like your back in some good wood I sure enjoy seeing you pick a part them messes well it was a great video and I will be looking forward to your next one well keep your head up and work safe as always. By the way were are you working.

Bjarne, I'm assuming they are Heli lifting that lumber out? be nice to get a little view if you get an opportunity. please :)

[@richie1593]

When you’re on a job like that how long are you usually in a block before you move on or does it differ vastly ?

[@f0rumrr]

Ive watched all his videos but no expert, looks like hes heli logging out of a remote camp. And i think hes said its like 2 week shift. In logging like this it always differs vastly.

[@JS-oy6nn]

What do you do with the trees that are too dangerous to buck?

[@dennis2376]

From what I see on work safe that might use explosives.

[@JS-oy6nn]

@@dennis2376 that’s for trees that are too dangerous to fall.

[@BjarneButler]

You don’t buck them. The buckermen/hill crew will have them repositioned to a safer position

[@dennis2376]

@@BjarneButler thank you.

[@MrInsaint]

Awesome stuff mate👍👍👍 Btw, how is your gold doing?🤩

[@BjarneButler]

Been on the back burner for a while, got a prospecting trip planned this year

[@harleyray6642]

What happened to the tree that slid down the slope? Could you buck it?

[@BjarneButler]

Nope it’s laying on an angle straight down the hill on top of other bucked wood which makes it too dangerous. It’s also too far down the hill to justify spending the time to hike down there and back up. Doing that would slow down production and cut into profits. The next phase has buckermen that buck everything we don’t get during and after the logging process. Which allows the buckers to use heavy equipment to reposition the logs to a safer position to buck.

[@joshuap7501]

Are you runing a carbide chain??

[@jacksak]

Great as always... thanks. Do you know where most of the trees you cut end up as lumber? I mean, is it shipped to the US or international?

[@BjarneButler]

No idea where it goes

[@CanadianSkylights]

What are your thoughts as an old growth logger for the pleas to stop old growth logging in BC? Would you be willing to move over to felling second and third growth forests if it meant a potential lower income or less enjoyment? I really like your videos but its a pain to know that one day these trees will run out and we will never have these wonderful organisms again.

[@JS-oy6nn]

Organisms? Really?🥴🤤

[@CanadianSkylights]

@@JS-oy6nn yes, a tree is an organism. Time for grade 5 science class again?

[@batmantiss]

@@CanadianSkylights I'm NOT an expert. That said, a lot of these trees look like 2nd and 3rd growth

[@CanadianSkylights]

@@batmantiss this is an old growth forest that has never been logged. Pretty much all of the videos you see on here are of them. It's what makes the videos so majestic as Cedars of this size take 400+ years to grow. An old growth forest will always consist of many different age groups of the forest, but the term second and third growth is used for forests that have already been logged once or even twice.

[@JS-oy6nn]

@@CanadianSkylights well I guess you have your answer? Tuff to believe you didn’t get an answer for a genius question like this? 🥴👀 Ask a guy if he’d do the same job for less money? Brilliant organism?? What a dope.

[@andreakeeling9217]

17:29 Why are you guys cutting down all those trees? I see other trees that were cut down but your cutting them up. Why are they still there?

[@ScoredPiston]

This is west coast BC, many trees have fallen down on their own. The older trees on the ground already are there becuz they are too rotten to use and weren’t cut down, they fell down due to age. They could use them to make your toilet paper but it would hurt a bunch more than what you’re currently using….. This is helicopter logging. The other big trees they have actually cut down, get bucked into lengths small enough that the helicopter can lift. If they are too long, the helicopter can’t lift them. They do lots of this for forest fire prevention.

[@skoomasteve6144]

Is that lake Pend Oreille?!
