[@brandonsmith3447]

Great vid G. Also, I wanted to Thank you for the felling dogs. I was fortunate enough to win the giveaway over at sappy for the 562. I about fell out of my socks!

[@westcoastsaw1368]

You lucky dog 🎉

[@garettconner795]

No better way to start the weekend than with a Gordy video!!

[@richardflagg3084]

"They are a little limby" 🤣🤣 Nice work. Looking forward to the next one.

[@westcoastsaw1368]

You ain’t seen nothing yet 😅

[@tysonsmudfossiladventures3468]

Been there done that, hate limbing spruce. I cut a lot of it on Oregon Coast and Southeast Alaska. thanks for the share.

[@JefferyTaylor-q4d]

Im 14 and i bilt a big bored 046 and a homemade barkbox and i watch you all the time keep up the great work

[@mitchzenobitrees]

I can smell this video! Great job fellers. 🔥

[@ForestryTechz]

Wow, that’s impressive! Taking down such tall spruce trees is a huge task! Can't wait to see the process in action!

[@johndunbar2393]

Looks like a solid day in the woods. Good to see Garrett again.

[@williamjones6053]

Team trump and project 2025 will add an additional 11.75 percent tax burden to the timber industry ..and roll back safety regulations plus over time pay

[@jameswilson322]

I love watching the sawdust just boil out of that saw . Great video guys thanks

[@Sethhaun78]

God bless...gordy stay safe ...need order some more supplies soon ..thanks

[@brandong6242]

Fantastic video! Love watching you guys drop giant trees in my home state!

[@mattgraham7874]

Watched quite a few forestry videos on YT. First time I've seen a bore cut into a face cut. Makes total sense on a big tree. Always learn something watching the pros at work. Thanks for the video!

[@westcoastsaw1368]

Glad you liked it we kinda try different things a lot out hear depending on the situation👍

[@treetwoone9915]

Awesome video. It's cool to see the whole process. Can't wait for the next one!

[@westcoastsaw1368]

More to come!

[@woos31]

Oh boy, you guys got into somethin this time Gordy! That's a forearm workout there boys, especially the 661 with a full weight 42...........make a man of ya quick. Can't wait for the next installment, safe cuttin team

[@westcoastsaw1368]

Thanks for watching and yes my hands and arms got put to the test that week The next few videos are going to be a lot better 👌

[@woos31]

@westcoastsaw1368 everyone has had that enjoyment at some time or another, and it's good to show the world how much joy it can be on the spruces. Good, bad or otherwise, I look forward to all of em

[@TheWoodsman661]

Those growth rings are huge! I dropped an oak a few weeks ago, 32" in diameter, and it was over 120 years old. I can't imagine having trees that grow as quickly as those.

[@AnomadAlaska]

Hot saws and Humboldt cuts. Yeah buddy! Reminds me of working out west years ago. I didn't run saw except for firewood. My tiny saw still helped heat the house.

[@rickstafford5316]

Oh the macho man savage. Super nice work guys

[@dannywhelchel4801]

Thats some big trees yall got into,awsome

[@troyledbetter6597]

Looking forward to seeing that large tree come down!

[@SGsamsky]

That walker saw sounds solid, good to see you boys back making stumps

[@markroper9269]

You guys are so serious all the time...I get that...dangerous. Maybe crack a joke once or twice.....tease each other.....lighten the mood!!! Sheesh!!! 😜 Cool video.

[@westcoastsaw1368]

Good idea!!

[@michaelwhiteoldtimer7648]

Great job, those are some huge trees

[@joegreenwood1443]

Spruce in the swarpers, that's gonna put up a fight.

Great Falling job. I'd be hungry after that. I need to get me some Gatorade Bottles for Gas and Oil. Thanks for the Video.

Gordy being 6’ was very surprising

[@westcoastsaw1368]

I know I use to think I was 10 feet tall and bullet proof 😆👍

[@tlars36]

I have dropped some massive oaks and maples back in the days of my felling and even some today, but nothing like those ginormous spruce you guys were felling, that would be a blast! Any idea of how old those trees were? Thank you for sharing another great video with us Gordy!

[@westcoastsaw1368]

They were not very old. The growth rings are bigger than my thumb on some of those

[@Treehandler]

Garrett is the Patrick Bateman of fellers for sure. I feel like a peeping Tom watching him with a chainsaw 😆😆

[@jacobamft7365]

Were these second growth trees? Those growth rings are huge, they really do grow them faster on the coast

[@SamSeth]

It's crazy how fast these things grow. I've seen clear cuts of 8' diameter trees that were only 80 year old, second growth on the north Oregon coast where i hunt elk

[@julianalderson3938]

Rekon its are really tuff job. Do urban tree work. Yer its dangerous. But loggin is lot more. Cheers

[@Austeeeno]

Hope to start falling this year been a dream job of mine for a long time

[@chadlindsey8971]

Garret is a savage 😂

[@timkelley6616]

So do you guys have to modify the Oilers on your saw with the longer bars?

[@ShafnerTreeServiceLLC]

Good video.

[@westcoastsaw1368]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Gggrsz]

What are they going to use to get these logs out?

[@bryanchipps6572]

Down here those big horny ones would be shipped straight to the chip yard. I hate that big coastal spruce. Smells like Elmer’s glue but it’s pretty tough

Been curious lately what bar oil and 2 stroke oil do you run Gordy?

[@julianalderson3938]

Ive done bit in the bush. Its hard' much respect

[@charlesmullins3238]

A cannon bar just looks good on stihls or huskys and rigid n heavy duty as I’ve used…man what some limby limbersons…

Bless Enjoying video. What kind of radios do you'll have? Thanks 😊

[@westcoastsaw1368]

[@noahkolis7014]

How did you convert the caps on the 044 rom the OG screw on to the twist cap style?

[@westcoastsaw1368]

I don’t have any way of doing that although I have thought about it, just haven’t came up with anything

[@Miguel-i1y5r]

[@loghog4392]

Where'd you find the 3 rivet bar? /

[@TheTruth-l8z]

Not so bad with the soft wood,not like cutting hardwood

[@nerv-adc]

what saw is garrett running there at 15:50? Great vid as always Gordy!

[@westcoastsaw1368]

[@austingriffith1118]

Is that a 41 inch cannon bar at 2:34?

[@yenerm114]

What 2stroke oil u use for ur gas? I been using VP ,Was Garrett using the poulan bar oil? I got some last time n I really like it

[@bradlucas3154]

How do you get a log that size out of that type of terrain.....helicopter?

[@jordandrudge4538]

Do you know what they'll be used for? With all them knots? I think I heard the guys at one point talking about what lengths to cut the logs..

i heard they build airplanes out of em

[@CodySciarra]

What kinda bar oil is that never see red

[@w8stral]

Holy Crap, sawmills will take those c$ap wolf trees now? What are you getting? $250/mbf???

[@spencerstockwell]

try $100/mbf lol. i’d assume this is a private thinning job

[@w8stral]

@@spencerstockwell Pulp pays more than $100/mbf... maybe you were saying the loggers were getting $100/mbf... Just looked it up Util Spruce is $400mbf. Its gone up ~70% no wonder they are finally cutting those wolf trees.

[@spencerstockwell]

@@w8stral depends on your area. i’m in western washing, so are these guys. conifers are of a plenty here, spruce hemlock and pine are not worth the time when you have millions of acres of doug fir and red cedar

[@w8stral]

@@spencerstockwell Uh, can you read... Appears you do not know what a wolf tree is... No, it does not "depend" on your area. Uh, buddy ol' pal, SPRUCE without limbs is HIGHLY valued. Spruce with limbs is junk regardless of where you live or where it is felled. In fact, limbless spruce is better $$$ than #2 Doug. In some instances it is better than #1 WRC.

[@spencerstockwell]

@@w8stral this isn’t limb free spruce tho. different log buyers pay different prices. i listed the price from the mill i deal with that’s closest to me

Have you guys read project 2025 and how it lays out the guidelines for another trump term more specific logging regulations and the extra fees and tariffs on goods used by loggers ..and increased tax burden on workers of 11.78 percent over 2 years...costing workers millions in unpaid overtime eliminate the forty hoyr week and assume the 160 hour month ..vote as if feedimg your family matters ..it will under project ,2025

[@230e4]

Trump has absolutely ZERO connection to project 2025! Stop spreading this Bull$hit lie! 3 mills in my area have closed in the past 2 years, log prices are way down and lumber is not selling like it did when Trump was president. Another 4 years of the crap policies we have now will really hurt every American citizen including us loggers. Educate yourself and vote!🌲 MAGA! MAHA! TRUMP 2024!🌲
