151. Bucking Surprises in a Gully | Close Call

[@robertodebeers2551]

Lovely opening scenes with the piano music. Spot on.

[@randysmith8604]

Glad you’re ok. Be safe out there

[@jasonlavery6449]

Man that was a cool helicopter ride. The main reason I watch this channel is the awesome views you show. Over the last few years I watch the work you do. Thank you keep it safe and enjoy those mountains

[@mikeclark-e1f]

Yes sir, dandy ride that morning! For those that have never ridden a chopper forth and back to work every day..., it's great that you can give them a glimpse of what it's like. Good job! An old Bull Buck once told me when I was still a shade or two of green, the money is only half your pay, the things you see and do in the woods is the rest of it. Good cutten, stay safe and don't get any on you.

[@b.b.1860]

WOW! Love that opening flight, and also the soothing music with the ride. Agree with all the earlier posts about flights, scenery, music. Really world-class stuff. also I have newer appreciation about the costs involved with Heli logging. Thanks, Bjarne! PS: Right after the buck broke and you realized you were all safe -- looks like you were looking back uphill to see if anyone was watching your "oopsie" moment. lol

[@joegreenwood1443]

I'm pretty sure he was looking up to make sure no logs were kicked loose and rolling down the hill to take him out.

[@BjarneButler]

Yes that’s exactly what I was looking for. Nothings gunna roll up hill and squish ya. 🤙

[@peteacher52]

Fabulous opening scene setter - and kudos to you for not spoiling it with discordant noise and shrieking howler monkeys. Your chosen music was just right. Wow!! Things can happen so quickly in forestry, one minute normal, then crack! gone! And that despite your careful weighing up of the situation before even starting to buck!

[@ckworton]

That beginning segment was great. Thanks for that! 😊 Loving your content. The production, photography and editing continue to get better and better.

[@jamesb6087]

Right? That slow zoom as he walked farther away was class, and perfect timing.

[@markbacker7862]

Whether it’s just you or if you’re getting help or assistance from someone I’m not exactly sure but, the background music that is paired with your videos is absolutely excellent. I don’t know for sure what the title would be of the person who does the same job in large production films/ movies but, to me I would definitely say you have the knack for matching music to video footage. I’ve read some of your fan comments so I know you get the statement “TAKE CARE & BE CAREFUL OUT THERE” & also don’t take any part of the job for granted because 1 mistake is all it takes to change your life forever. Always a great job, great music, great videos, great scenery/ views, great without end. TAKE CARE & BEWARE OF DANGER.

[@jamesnelson6848]

Man o man was that flight therapeutic! Music was perfect! Super cool!

[@annlaurie1484]

Good piece of editing at the beginning of the video, made me jump at the end! 😊

[@m8s4lif]

That helicopter ride was priceless. Glad that you came out safe from bucking that log.

[@smhs1262]

'I'm just DANDY! I got a bowl of chocolate pudding in my underpants"

[@lambadalou]

Excellent movie 🎥 Bjarne That’s quite the nice valley you’re cutting in. Very cool ride to work this morning. Amazing that log just hung together so long before finally letting go, that’ll make the heart race a little 😬 Great work 👏 Stay Safe ✊

[@chrishayman1747]

That helicopter ride was magic!

[@brianruff1133]

Thanks for that opening, what a jobsite!

[@HartPfortmueller]

Nice music - calm and relaxing

[@jamesb6087]

Hoo baby! Anticipation! Contemplation! Overwhelming sensations, putting myself in your boots, watching you being methodical, yet circumstantially encountering actual struggle. Intense man. Even more so, played against the lull of the opening ride in, with its soothing music. Riteous video, brother. Respect. Work safe. Thank you for the instructional quality. I like to watch your face cuts and see the hinge wood after.

[@rooster3019]

YIKES! Mental note to self: "Self, use bucking wedges BEFORE I need them!"

[@jodhi2068]

The most important thing for everyone is health and safety.

[@hiscifi2986]

I used to fly gliders in mountainous areas, but that helicopter trip was 5 times more magnificent than what we have in Wales. Many thanks for the video...

[@chadpyett6441]

Well played brother things happen fast

[@snoozinglion8596]

Stay safe out tthere Bjarne... 🙏 Very cool chopper ride 👍

[@SepticWhelk]

Folks would pay good money for that chopper ride !

[@Rockingruvin]

Dude... the music to your chopper ride gave me the impression you had passed. 🙀

[@dcvariousvids8082]

Beautiful start with a close surprise to finish and the middle ain’t at all bad either. Thank you.

[@johnolsen7073]

Great helicopter ride and you are a lucky "bucker".

[@bobgreenthumb8066]

thanks, mate, another good day on the hill

[@Ras7685]

You have a very special job Bjarne.....enjoy it as long as you can ! This is the edit after I saw the end of the video......Be careful !

[@TrevorDennis100]

I won't type it, but you can be damn sure that I said a rude word or two when that jammed section broke away. You were obviously aware of the danger. We could see from how you kept looking back at your escape route. Glad you got out of the way.

[@LawsonLyons-j9b]

That was really really close goodness gracious

[@heatherfraserdaley460]

Only reason your saw got stuck was because you left your axe back at the stump. Murphy is always watching for an opportunity to strike.

[@anthonygnewbreast1609]

Murphy isn't my daddy.

[@secondgear6079]

Whoa ,all in a days work great job staying safe brother ,DAMN !

[@RLee-zs1ds]

Your intuition told you this bucking was going to be dangerous, always go with your intuition and be safe. There was a point while you were bucking, the second cut, when you were say to yourself "Why did I throw the axe so far away" Always enjoy your videos, but stay safe I want to watch a lot more of them.

[@MarkSmith-cd3ny]

Glad that worked out in your favor.

[@haydenbretton2990]

That Bjarne has to be one of the bravest acts we have seen you do, please keep safe.

[@garyhead577]

Great video...again. I was wondering what happened to your saw when the tree skidded off. Close call.

[@iffykidmn8170]

Yes cool chopper ride this morning, however the background music nearly put me to sleep. 🥱

[@TrevorStevens91]

Somebody up above setting at the right hand at the throne of The Most High was watching out 👁️ praise God Thank You Jesus 🙌🏾

[@Alexhulk]

Flying in paradise ❤ You got a great special life mine friend

[@georgecalder5175]

Cat like instincts , stay safe, Bjarne 😊

[@keithevans8155]

Wow close one Bjarne, be safe

[@davidbeebe1718]

maybe sasquatch up there!!!!!!!

[@Skidderoperator]

Whatta ya mean, MAYBE?

[@joegreenwood1443]

Very cool, thank you.

[@stevenowell]

The ride in segment was award wining cinematography with a nice musical score. I would love to know how that timber is managed and by whom? The engineers? Do they use satellite photography?

[@craigjok]

whoa. Nicely Done 👍🏿

[@1944chevytruck]

LUCKY MAN!

[@forthrightnight]

Stay safe.

[@davefran01]

I guess it could have been worse other than the surprise it didn't appear to take your saw and give it a spanking 😀

[@matthewking2209]

I don't cut much but I bought some wedges to support you.

[@finpainter1]

Bet your heart stopped on that one.

[@gruanger]

What do you do about bugs, do you use a spray? I have watched so many videos of yours and now I suddenly wonder if I just don't pay attention. I have never wondered about the mosquitos and bugs before?

[@GaryMerrick]

that'll get the heart rate up!! lol

[@LawsonLyons-j9b]

I know you probably don't know where you can keep track of it but why would you what's the ratio to huskies and Stihl saws just kind of wondering

[@TrevorDennis100]

Why is the camp barge so far from the blocks you are working? I am assuming there are not so many people staying on the barge accommodation that there are people working in every direction from the barge location?

[@mattbrown7483]

Bjarne, love your content, but don't take any chances for the camera. If you wouldn't buck a tree without the camera, don't buck it because of the camera. Your content is great as is, we like it and enjoy listening to you explain why you do things a certain way. The bonus is the helicopter rides and the beautiful places you get to work in.

[@mikeclark-e1f]

I'm guessing (sure) Bjarne has been at this long enough that he ain't showing off for no camera. ;)

[@Alexhulk]

Wouhouhou Little bit of adrenaline!!!

[@Dorchwoods]

Amazing footage. Might be a dumb question, but how do you get these logs out of there after they're cut? That is some nasty and steep terrain!

[@bj8342]

Heavy Lift Helicopter

[@peterlosangelos4108]

helicopter. he is wearing a table on his belt in which he can lookup in what length he should buck for certain radius so maximum lift capacity of helicopter is not exceeded.

[@Dorchwoods]

Awesome! Great stuff btw, you're a beast for running that big saw in such tough terrain 🤘💪💪

[@AaronTheViking250]

Cool ride into the block my friend but could've done without the Sappy music that could seriously put bear to sleep just saying lol. Otherwise like always good video with great action and useful tips and tricks have a great day and happy cutting and be safe out there brother.

[@Skidderoperator]

Sounded like funeral music.

[@stevenowell]

Sphincter tightening action at the end

[@in4merATP]

Did your saw fare ok?

[@Telephony954]

I hope the wages are good, cause that commute sucked:)

[@davidwamboldt7974]

Wow

[@michaeld.coulombesr.583]

Mr Butler Have you ever seen any bears or mountain lions??

[@Skidderoperator]

Or trees uprooted and stuck back in the ground, roots in the air?

[@jasons7279]

Why r some trees wrapped with the yellow tape

[@bj8342]

Those are Straps. The engineering team thought the base of the tree might have cracks/splits so they strap the tree to prevent it from splitting when it falls. Cheap preventive measure that saves valuable wood.

[@pedrolopesatc6776]
