Drastic weather changes in 1 day | heli-logging - sketchy helicopter ride to camp

[@johnjacobs3643]

I could watch these all day!

[@HIllCarver]

This is way more entertaining and interesting than whatever the disovery channel version would be. Authentic hard work. Love the videos. Subscribed!

[@logdog8920]

Although I have been a professional logger for the past 46 years. I have cut thousands of trees in various conditions, mostly Great Lakes hardwoods, Oaks, ash, maple, etc. I have never had the opportunity to cut the big "Evergreen Trees", and work in the mountainous terrain as U have in the Pacific Northwest. That work U do is just awsum!

[@BjarneButler]

Thanks 🤙

[@nodaklojack]

Your channel is quite entertaining. The scenery, helicopter rides, demonstration of felling skill, and your pleasant demeanor and narration. Enjoying all the videos.

You're the man!! Back barring into the stump to re fuel is genius!! Ive never seen that b4!! You're the best there is brother!! Great work!! 👍😊👍

[@rustysteel8714]

Amazed at your stamina just moving gear... let alone, WORKING...on such STEEP terrain, Bjarne! 🤯 I'm exhausted just watching. Thanks for taking us along and making videos. 👍 Bet you sleep well at night. 😉 EAGLE! 🦅

Ya it’s a work out every day. Some days are easier than other though

[@holdenmedia638]

excellent content...I rebuilt C-FBER with a couple of guys from the frame up back in the early 90's.Great to see her out in the bush still.I'm missing the logging show...thanks for posting these vids.

[@jeffstoodley6155]

Love the videos. I always wanted to do this kind of tree work. I will never be able to experience it do to a back injury. Thank you for sharing your hard work with us.

[@nakulah]

Yellow cedar is amazing stuff, I just picked up a 2x8 and counted 300 years of growth on it! grows so slowly. And I can't even imagine how beautiful that burl must be inside

[@allenhuling598]

"This tree is gonna hit that log, which will then hit this log....so I gotta get thru there and on the other side of that, to hide!" Critical stuff to think thru on each tree, and I appreciate you spelling it out! Love the yellow cedar, it doesn't grow here on Kodiak, but a fair amount washes in as driftwood....one of my favorites to burn and/or carve! Cheers for another great video...work safe!

[@MrThenry1988]

Good work for sure. I'm glad your people let you take time to film even though it probably doesn't take much out of your day. I often wonder how that conversation went. Good show, and good ambassador of the big timber. 48:46. Wow. Lol. Cool pilot..

Ya no one’s said anything yet but it doesn’t really take much time out of my day

No birds, bigfoot must have been watching you 😂, always love seeing big timber hit the ground! Massive power! My old man would have loved that burl, he did quite a bit of wood work back in the day!

I was wondering when someone would mention Sasquatch, being that Mr. Butler is working in a hotbed of squatch sitings!

[@navydogsadventures3500]

[@BjarneButler]

Hi Fred. Thanks for watching

[@Erated78]

Great video thank you - I’ve often wondered if Cedar make good burls, I believe maple and oak are preferable but that one you found was massive. Beautiful scenery, chopper pilot was experienced wow - did I miss seeing you load your saws in the chopper? Cheers

[@BjarneButler]

Haha so you want another chopper loading video? 😂 Ya maple and oak can have massive burls too but that’s common to find burls on them. It’s the birds eye burls that are rare.

[@stihlnz]

First time I've seen you fuel that saw Bjarne, its the most economical husky I've ever seen. You've got a great eye on that face cut. log went smack bang where you wanted it. As if there was any doubt.

[@BjarneButler]

Ya it’s pretty good eh 😂

[@nilesgillis2511]

Hey I enjoy watching you felling those giant trees and drop them perfectly where you say they should land, the scenery is beautiful, your job is dangerous be careful, oh thanks for reply on Sasquatch.

[@petehendry4756]

Great video Bjarny !!!

[@IRONHORSE427RACING]

Wow how beautiful buddy ! Oh you know how it's fairly common place to find "burls" on ponderosa....here we can get as much for a 5' across burl as a whole logging truck of prime lumber pine ! No Kidding either. Just think living in a place like that where no matter what (except the occasional Air Force Jet that might pass overhead) you only hear the sound of the Mountains.....that's where the Wife and I bought land and built our Log Home....

[@BjarneButler]

That’s fantastic you guys are lucky. I’d love to build a cabin in a remote area. Peaceful and quiet. Ya that yellow cedar burl would go for a lot of money just gotta find the right buyer. Might be worth while to charter a chopper to fly it to the water if there are several in the area

[@marjosl1970]

Happy activities, friend, of course you have experience with cutting down trees, maybe you can review how to spend it in the forest🤠👊🏿🌱

[@jamesburke5709]

Hello Bjarne you make me miss cutting timber out there now I'd love to be out there helping you out with it too between the two of us we could put that stuff on the ground now and have a blast doing it too and seeing those views of the mountains and lakes wouldn't never get old either if you were cutting and it needed a wedge put to it I'd drive it to it and vise vers too now and I have a question why did the other loggers leave all of those logs just laying around and why didn't they take them to the mill too

[@jasonreese4824]

Sweet thanks for another awesome video keep up the great work.

I just startet school this winter to become a forest and nature technician. Or lumberjack i guess. I am quite jealous of the assignments you get. It looks awesome, a dream come true! Would love to see you do a how to video some day. With some of the thoughts and technics that you use when felling timber.

[@michpatriot9097]

Great views and content as always!

[@JU-gi8sj]

Hello Bjarne. I have been watching your videos for a long time, I admire your professionalism. I'm surprised you left your saw in the woods overnight in this weather. Are you not afraid that something will happen to her on a frosty night, under the snow? Will the weather in the coming days allow you to work or at least pick up a saw, or can it be cold for several days and the weather will not allow you to fly in, will the cold damage the saw these days?

[@BjarneButler]

Cold does not affect the saw. I’ve left a saw in a hillside for 2 months in winter and it fired right up no problem. Just don’t get water in the carburetor or you’ll have to take it apart to dry it out. I was not planning on coming back to that camp after this shift so I didn’t want my saw stuck in camp when I would be working elsewhere

[@JU-gi8sj]

Nothing definitive. Seen some odd things over the years like old foot prints in a dried up swamp puddle in middle of nowhere and it wasn’t likely an animal print. Had a coworker years ago who had rocks rolling through his quarter on a heli job. Not unusual really but they were still covered in moss. Rocks just don’t sit there for decades growing moss then randomly start rolling down a hill. So ya seen a few other weird things but ya never know
