Lumberjack | Risk Takers | Episode 8 | FD Real Show

[@gregtaylor8327]

Very good video. Thanks from New Zealand. Warmed a 67 year old ex loggers heart. Respect to you men you work in way more challenging terrain and Snow etc. All the best!

[@IRONHORSE427RACING]

Thanks So Much for showing the real side of being a multi generational Logger. I'm the 7th generation of logger and our Son will be the 8th. We own manage and sweep out the place of our own small family logging business and we log in a traditional way of speaking but do it like a lot of small European loggers do. We provide a super small environmental footprint and practice selective logging where the Forest Service marks the trees they want left to thin and repopulate the forest. We build 1 road in to a block of timber and when we leave we put the land back to where it was before we came. We block the road in to prevent others from thinking it's a trail they can use and try very hard to leave the land just as it was when we came. We use a Smaller 4x4 Tractor with cab to skid with from the rear and in place of a front mounted bucket we have a log grapple. We skid our logs to a landing and load them onto our own logging Truck and when we have a lot of logs piled we have contract haulers haul to the mills for us. We cut every tree with a saw that either myself or our son has dropped we trade off who drives the tractor and who is falling but we are always together and in constant contact with each other. My wife runs the office part of the business from our home office. It gives us a great living, we work as hard and as much as we want.

Man that's awesome! I know nothing about that kind of life because I was born & raised in the city (Philly) but dude, it's a really cool insight into what goes on working that kind of job. Much respect from the city bro, we respect your hustle. You & yours stay safe out there 💯🙏🏽🙌🏾

[@aaronandvicky7652]

So no sky line? More of a ground clearing?

[@JessicaBlaze89]

Thanks for this... My grandpa was a logger/lumberjack and it was nice to see his world

[@johnpartridge7623]

You've got to have your Head on a swivel to be a Logger & a big set of Balls to pick up a Chainsaw to do that job 👍

[@vatodad]

I am so very proud of these hard-working men. It is most unfortunate that that ignorant people characterize them improperly. The people who care drives them this way have never been to the forest and really know nothing about the forest. I saw this happening to the farmers 40 years ago when I was in college. A bunch of city slickers who knew nothing about farming when we're protesting our actions. They claimed that we were ruining the water table. Of course being solely from the city, they knew nothing about it. I explained that the farmers lived on top of that water table and their family drank that water. They would be idiot to ruin that water. All of the farmers I knew, including myself, were more concerned about the environment than a bunch of city slickers. I recognize they're right to speak, but they are ignorant ignorant. Kudos to all the people in this video! Be proud!!!

[@efslaman6291]

You mean using up the Ogallala aquifer?

[@joelee662]

This was a great video It's a very very dangerous job no doubt about it My heart goes out to these men Thanks for such a great video 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲

[@dan-dan-da-treeman]

When you called the chain and guide bar a blade....🤭

[@carrollsanders9376]

Easy cutting Trees too, no huge windshaken white oak that have to be spun on stump. Easy traditional hinges and back cutting.

[@stevenblake6939]

I cringe when people do that..he also called a face cut..a side cut!!it's like dude ..if you don't k ow what your talking about how r u narrating a video like this!

[@iffykidmn8170]

@@stevenblake6939 claimed 42" bar! maybe while walking for the video but not while cutting.

[@Randpage]

@@iffykidmn8170 Even while walking in that looked like a 32" bar at most.

[@jamesburke5709]

I used to be a timber cutter myself and it's still in my blood here too there's not any thing more funner than to be able to cut a big tree down and feel the ground literally shake beneath your feet and talk about a natural rush you can not simply beat it either and yes its very dangerous work but I love it too now everyday you go to work your basically putting your life in God's hands because just like these men are saying you never know how and when you'll be hurt out there now I'd love to work with some of those guys and help them get the timber out of the mountains too now

[@claymack1109]

This looks like a very fun job but very dangerous but at least I'd be outside

[@andrewarland9875]

This should be in the Guiness Book of World Records for the longest sentence ever too now😅😉

[@rosannesutton4310]

Bloody hell, you guy's are way, way beyond incredible, as is anyone who works dam hard in the bush too make an honest living. You're pure friggin LEGENDS, absolutely no doubt about that at all 💙

[@joeblow8817]

So cool. The first job I went on was BTO with Rick and Dan Jones. Some of the baddest coolest guys I ever was around. On that job a cougar ran right by us. Scott was in the bottom and it went his way.

[@stevenherrold5955]

i love!! love!! love!! love!! this series i have liked and subscribed keep up the good work thank you

[@kenweis7913]

I was a cutter and climber for 15 years until i fell 50ft from a freak accident.....i was following all safety rules too....

[@asullivan4047]

Unfortunately those accidents come with the territory. Hope you're all healed up& doing well -!!! 😉.

[@asullivan4047]

Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent photography job enabling viewers to better understand what the orator was describing. Special thanks to veteran lumber jacks. Sharing personal experiences pertaining to daily activities performing their dangerous occupation. Enjoying this presentation from the comfort of my computer room.

[@danieltaylor3396]

I worked for 25+ years as a First Aid Attendant and Log Truck Dispatcher on B.C.'s west coast and I can tell you that driving a 175-200ton loaded off highway log truck is the most dangerous job in the woods.

[@richardtaylor3798]

Over here in the UK our helmets are fited with a mesh visor totall covers forhead to over the chin--you get no misting or vape n can see perfectly--its saved my eyesight a lot over 35yrs.

[@asullivan4047]

Interesting information thanks for letting viewers know about that😉

[@pnwRC.]

I miss the logging industry, but know I'm better off in the construction industry! I now have a pension for retirement, & my job is far less dangerous than when I was a logger.

[@alwayslive7460]

THANK YOU FOR SHARING

[@randyellis7353]

When I was an adolescent, I run a crane for carrier chipping about four years. then I went to work for Linkletter out of Athens MAINE. I miss being in the woods .thank God I’ve never seen anybody get hurt ,my favorite place to be is in the woods. Yes, I am a hillbilly. really nice video. Stay safe guys.💯💪💪 and rangers lead the way 💯❤️🇺🇸

[@Abdul-e3m]

That slinging job looks so crazy unsafe.

[@Russ4844]

I have had my accidents logging and land clearing. It is always the thing you don’t see that gets you before you know what happened. I experienced my right eye damaged sitting on my skidder on the first pull when one of the front tires threw something threw the cab .Hit me square in the eye and then I heard it hit the cab behind me R . Harrison

[@rorytennes8576]

Been to Oregon. Yes! Watch out for the logging trucks! Mainiac drivers. And, where are the high visibility clothes for these loggers.

[@stevenikitas8170]

America's 750 million acres of forest equals 1.2 million square miles, or a rectangle of forest land that is 1,000 miles long by 1,200 miles wide if all the trees were in one place. That is a huge amount of trees. In New England, where I live, the forests are overgrowing the land at an alarming rate. Trees are EVERYWHERE, even right up to the edge of my town. We should be using these forest to provide local jobs and local energy for our economy. We could grind trees up for use as pelletized heating fuel, or ferment wood to make methanol alcohol fuel, which could be burned in converted oil burners. The wood "mash" left over from fermenting then could be used as fuel in woodstoves or in power plants.

[@TheSilmarillian]

Great doco makes my 18" chainsaw like like a kindergarten toy hello from Australai

[@nobodythatyouknow241]

Had a friend from Wallawa. He worked for a guy named Jim Zachariah out of Enterprise.

Careful guys 🙏❤️

[@raymondhoule6108]

I need to get myself a felling belt like the ones these guys have. Would save me quite a bit of time in the woods. Big bucks I bet.

[@Wedget]

Thanks for this non glorified honest video, looking forward to more videos, cheers from Australia 👍👍

[@iffykidmn8170]

Why then switch to a long bar for walking out of the woods instead of the bar used while cutting? the xtra hype bs really ruins another wise decent look into logging.

[@brikkijim]

Use a drone for setting haywire nowadays. At least I would. Especially crossing swamps.

[@Rocket-ck3qn]

Everybody's an expert with the chainsaw I've been doing it better than 30 years I'm 51 I still try to learn something everyday I go to work put that chainsaw in my hand it's like putting the wand in Houdini's hand I'm a God with that chainsaw I use a file a flat file if I'm doing construction and clear and debris, dirt on the would,, so I need a ripping edge I use a round file in residential area stuff like that gets me through to do what I got to do God bless all you good old boys we all got to eat and make it home to loved ones 🙏

[@tjlovesrachel]

Ohhh god here we go

[@michaelpcooksey5096]

Big difference between dropping a tree in the back yard and enjoying the thrill of seeing it fall ... to dropping 200 a day. Much more chance of odd things happening and lack of attention with 200. Not for me ...

[@sharp8569]

That side tree looks small but it could still be 300+ pounds

[@SamOlney]

I'm a logger as well. In my blood no doubt.

[@Pen-sq7bj]

yes brother lets get the hell outta here

[@rentsanshitiri5425]

I feel sad when those beautiful trees fells down though.

[@kurtvonfricken6829]

They're a crop.

[@tealtazmanian966]

How are Tables, China Cabinets constructed? How are houses and other buildings built without LOGS milled into LUMBER. ALSO Paper Products aren't synthetic, nor pencils nor, nor nor... In a way, I kinda get where you're coming from seeing them fall and hauled into the MILL like that but their HARVEST are essential for this world to function.

[@treemerc101]

@Teal Tazmanian absolutely and people don't understand that if you don't harvest a tree by a certain age they rot and fall apart. For some reason people think if you don't cut them down they live and grow forever

[@stevenblake6939]

Noone cates how sad you are! Suck it up buttercup!

I fell ((( EDIT: I should qualify that...I was a SAWYER and FELL TREES ))) from 1984 until 2005. Over the years I only saw two guys get hurt nasty bad and another was Helicoptered out but didn't make it to the Hospital. There was always new of several EVERY YEAR that didn't make it. I been Poked, Stabbed, Cut & Broken Bones and nearly got hit by a branch about 4" diameter, 7' long. I was driving my Wedge to push the tree over and looked up just in time to barely move and it just, and I mean JUST Grazed my Hard Hat off. I WAS ONE LUCKY DUDE that day, BIG-TIME! JUST the vibration of hitting a wedge is enough for some of those dead branches to break away, come down and BUGGER you up nasty bad. I lived next door to a logger that was hit by a cable and lost his legs below his knees.....He still runs a Loader now tho. Once this kind of life is in your blood then there's nothing that can give you that exhilarating feeling being out in the wild and WORKING THAT HARD like that. Seen guys puke their gut out because until you're in that kind of shape the work WORKS your body so HARD...that's is well known and we ALL go thru that part too. I don't care who you are you puke from time to time...especially if you are off for weather or job end. Man, I miss it but at 71yrs old the body can't take it anymore so I watch Videos like this just to see the WOODS SCENERY...LOL
