You gotta admire the attitude of a guy who looks at a couple of monster cedars laughs and says this should be easy 😀

[@johnmaclellan2589]

Bjarne you have been cutting in cedarland the last few weeks with there being so many very large specimens. You are always up for the challenge of each giant cedar specimen.

[@haydenbretton2990]

Awesome, what a great way to see tree felling.

[@johnvermeer386]

Bjarne That was cool you filming that old pacific logging truck coming down the mountain amazing they are still in use.

[@allenhuling598]

Thanks for filming your work, Bjarne, I try to catch them all! Work safe!

I smile when you worry about camera placement because, Dude, this is awsome! Thanks for the effort and time doing this! I am just grateful :)

Great job Bjarne

[@dennydargan8731]

Go pro in the window was pretty darn cool

[@JoeAroner-SIWAYTV]

I was thinking to myself, the saw isn’t cutting as well in this video. Then you made the same statement and the need to file the rakers. Thanks for the great videos, they are educational as well as entertaining. The saw appeared to run better on the backside of the first tree. Did you touch them up during the video off camera?

[@davidhaworth7152]

Echo was very cool!

Phenomenal cedar product a guy would be glad to make a roof or sidewall from those. Im sure some mill would use a a sawlog but there really not. Be a dream to hand split some 24 to 30 inchers

[@joegreenwood1443]

Pretty cool!

[@anthonygnewbreast1609]

As I progressed in my falling of trees I could tell the rush I'd get in my adrenaline. The fear factor so to speak. I noticed that my fear was the most as I drove home from the woods. Coming down a grade with a loaded pickup truck. Was very scary. My adrenaline was off the charts. 😢😮😢😮 .

[@RLee-zs1ds]

Those are huge trees, but I remember in the 1970's seeing a photograph taken around the early 1900's in Port Angeles WA. where a tree was cut and the stump had been hollowed out and was used as the local Post Office. They had put a roof on the stump, cut a door and windows, the stump must have been more than 25 feet ( 8m) in diameter. Even in the 1970's when they had a one-tree-truck-load, the truck carrying the tree would drive through the town for locals to see it.

[@leesharp7683]

Gezz that is bigger than anything in the Redwoods even Saqoia. On the Portervile Indian reservation i cut a snag that was 22 foot. Close to the size as the General Shirmin. I don't think it is 25 foot.

[@headless0ptomist198]

17:40 I had the same thought doing the same thing, I uploaded smilar shots from inside the stumps of some huge spruce in 2009 or 10 on an old channel that has long since been deleted. I forgot how cool it looks but just make sure you take out that center holding wood or you might crush your camera like I did when I forgot to do it once.

[@billbezzant3033]

So what do you do with worn-out corks? Do you sharpen them? Or replace them (are they threaded inserts?), or do you just buy a new pair of corked boots?

[@darrenwidas2473]

Very cool. Love watching you work these big trees. Btw why does your chain/clutch keep jamming?

[@alanwatts9232]

That first tree was big. When it left the stump the whole planet went up.

Beautiful echo off the mtns BJarne

[@ako5bcv]

What a beautiful place ❤

[@user-yg1si9fv6e]

I must be spoiled or something because here in Darrington, WA these "HUGE" trees are all over the place so not such a rarity as you seem to think it is. However the US forest service is MUCH different than in Canada and so down here we aren't allowed to take a leak next to them let alone kill 'em so that I guess would be a rarity. Had to be quite a rush

[@mohammedbadruddin6944]

Well done brother 👏👏👏👏

[@scottyamos3615]

How's the new saw working

[@ToddAdams1234]

Bjarne, is your home ON Vancouver Island or somewhere else. I’m only asking because I’m curious about transit times and hassles of getting to the logging camp where you stay for a few weeks and then come home. Because if the hassle isn’t worth it then…I’m fairly certain that you know what I mean by that.

[@tjgrossman]

Wow, some big cedars there…wish that Bluetooth microphone was better sounding with the saw.

[@johnrhodes9491]

hi their Bjarne just a question why do you cut so high leaving a 4/5 ft stump i can understand it on a bank to stop ather trees rolling down bank but it seems a big waist of good wood other times by the way i like

[@jens5934]

Thank you for these great videos of beautiful countryside and the impressive skills you have. You make it look very easy, but I’m sure it’s anything but! I just wish you’d ditch that new microphone, or run two sounds tracks during editing. Use the camera mike for when you’re cutting and then, when talking use the mike on the body. You never talk while the chainsaw is working anyways!?! Just an idea.

[@rexwells4552]

I just figured out what you were doing when you cut the notch out of the center of the tree,you were making a place for the Go Pro 😊

[@eriknelson6529]

That's an upgraded 592

[@tommagera885]

Seams like the 592 could use a higher volume oil pump for those big cedars.

[@w8stral]

Actually it is the heat stretching the chain for the most part allowing chips between the nose sprocket and chain. Though I suppose you could say heat is also oil =-) Or he just hasn't opened his oiler and is just going stock. Or closed the oiler for small stuff and forgot(heavens knows I have done that many times)

[@cameronhamer9432]

@@w8stralthe oiler hole in the bar gets plugged , cedar dust mixed with oil is just like glue , you have to take the side cover off to clear it . 👍🇨🇦

[@w8stral]

That as well, but in my finding and Western Red cedar that has not been a problem, but rather a bigger problem is the bar track loads up with sawdust pushing chain up and further off nose sprocket and when that happens bigger and bigger chips can get in till nose is plugged. Doesn't seem to matter what type of oil be it used engine oil or expensive "new" bar oil. So, long ago, I used used oil I pick up from wherever(have a construction guy who has lots of machines who gives me as much used oil as I could ever use). True can absolutely open the oiler WIDE open DUMPing oil down the bar and that helps, but when you run out of oil before you run out of gas.... ugg @@cameronhamer9432

Nice job fella. Really nice to see a Sawyer that knows what the hell he is doing. Well done. 👍 I watch so many of these with self proclaimed hacks that have no idea how to cut big timber. Especially hardwood. They split trees, pull the centers, fall them on rocks and shatter them. That really test my gag reflexes. 😂 Back in my day, we would have been fired for that shit, Or at best, sent to be choker bitch. 😅 Btw, I kept my rakers filed down so far NOBODY would touch my saws. They couldnt handle them. 😂😂

So: 300ish years old since those ones are open grown?

[@user-yg1si9fv6e]

There's a doug fir where I go fishing/shrooming that measures 34' circum. Leans way out, way up over the upper Sauk river. Nowhere to stand at all on the downhill side. Could be why it was spared from the logging boom of the early 19th century. Would love to see how you would take it down if allowed. Although at this point it's kind of an icon

[@BjarneButler]

Sounds like it’ll needs springboards

What are the white straps above where he cuts ?

[@ToddAdams1234]

I’m curious about those things myself. Did you notice that he was moving them out of the way for his saw? Either that or he didn’t want them damaged. I wonder if they would have a negative impact on the chain.

[@geraldmcclintock2567]

@@ToddAdams1234 I’m hoping someone chimes in. My guess is they are a safety to prevent the tree from a barber chair situation or they prevent the stem from splitting when landing hard . Can someone confirm the use of the white straps. They are in most of the videos …. Two or even three on the big trees

[@joerauhut9169]

I presume that is one reason ( to control the barber chair ,especially the deep cat face ones ) also to keep the good marketable wood from splintering up ,due to the impact of the drop and other trees hitting them when dropping. I use ratchet straps in my tree care work for split crotches ,etc.🙂

[@patfox3988]

Don't see many fallers using the Humboldt cut. That seems to be more economically sound.

[@tomwhiting1338]

Bjarne you need a droan for your falling shots.

[@davidhaworth7152]

What’s up with the straps on the tree?

[@peaceriver7808]

Probably to help prevent them from shattering when they hit the ground.

[@AaronTheViking250]

if they have a catt face, meaning a crack all the way, they will strap it, or in this case, cedar is so valuable they will strap them to hold them together because cedar is like glass hit hard enough breaks into huge slabs and hurts the money vaule of that tree at the mill hopefully that answers your question.

Amazing videos!! I love the big old growth. It’s a shame that we have to cut them down.
