R/W in the snow

[@SavageInstitute]

Bjarne thank you for all the time and effort to upload all these videos! An honor to share some of your work day.

[@billrobbins5874]

Stay safe. You make it look easy. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@johnfahey7215]

I hated wearing those rain suits! Necessary, but just a pain in the old kickaroo! Thanks for the scenery, I always put it on the big screen 😀

[@JohnDoe-vf9yc]

Love your videos Bjarne. Keep ‘em coming!

[@allenhuling598]

Another great video...thanks for sharing part of your day in the bush!

[@purlingbeck9805]

After a lifetime of felling tree's of all shapes and sizes, I can give you a thumbs up and I don't give em often.

[@victoriousvictor7978]

Nice idea on the eye kit. I have contacts. I just let it build up and produce a 4'x8' particle board over night.

[@buillioncubes]

Can I place an order? 12 sheets should do.

[@craigernest4373]

Good idea with the eye kit. Chip eye is always an issue, sometimes things don't work its way out. Probably helps put a few more trees on the ground, quickly dealing with being able to see again. Thanks

[@stihlnz]

bjarne, that mirror /Qtip is a great idea. saves you walking to your mate. Love your scaffold work. You are the man. Boy that cedar cuts well.

[@IRONHORSE427RACING]

Thanks for the tip on the pocket eye care ! Great Idea. Looks like your in some weather now . It got so freakin cold here a couple of days ago all we did was stack logs and haul a few loads to the mill. But the long range forecast is improving everytime I check it so we will be back up to full speed here soon. Good to see a video from you again, take care, be safe and watch them flying rocks lol.

[@BjarneButler]

Ya we’re battling the snow now. Supposed to get a bunch more snow tonight too. Hopefully your not down too long

[@grayswandir47]

Your situational awareness of where your feet are is exceptional. At 8:50 I was worried that you would take a step backwards. The shot was good enough. Nice scaffold.

[@vicentefernandez3930]

He trabajado alguna temporada en la madera. Nunca se dejaba tanto tocón. Se aprovechaba hasta casi el ras del suelo. Me encanta verte trabajar con esa soltura y pericia en la tala de árboles.

[@MrThenry1988]

The terrain there is awesome. I was born in the woods. Never seen anything like it in real life.

[@climbe4422]

Cool video bjarne ! You're pretty good at building that scaffolding i can tell you like problem solving.

[@als1023]

agree thanks for the detail!

[@thechronicgeneralist]

Awesome video. Would love to see how you put that scaffolding together next time. Thanks!

[@BjarneButler]

Ok I’ll do that next time. Thanks

[@erichusqvansonswanson7955]

Love the is as always and next time I'm up that way I'd love to see a gold contraption or two. Greetings from Washington

heard that loud and clear it was a big blast

[@jimssawsnstuff8903]

Reminds me of November! Sloppy days, cold and wet if you slow down😱😳🍻

[@laurencelance586]

Grandfather worked the big stuff back in '25 at Salmon Arm, BC. When I hear Lightfoot singing 'When the green dark forest was too silent to be real...and many are the dead men, too silent...to be real". I think of him and men like him.

[@woos31]

Good work Bjarne

[@munched55]

That one dropped pretty quick. Cam POV was spot on.

[@pcdubya]

You should patent the "lumberjack compact" and that terrain is unbelievable, good place to see Hatchet Jack leaning up against a tree.

I think you are the best feller on YT

[@victoriousvictor7978]

Good seeing you here buddy. This man a d his dad are both first class fallers out here on the island.

[@TheBrownsberg]

U used/aplied a borecut with this one, right?

[@christuttle3980]

A friend of mine got a cedar splinter in his eye, went to the hospital to get it surgically removed and they missed a sliver and it got infected and he lost his eye.I had a bushing blow up in my face on a drill rig building a logging road and lost my left eye.Logging is a dangerous occupation that’s for sure.But I loved it for 30 years before retiring

[@BjarneButler]

Ya sure is fun working in the bush. Some days I’m picking sawdust out of my eyes all day, bummer losing an eye though

[@AndyL940]

Hi Bjarne , I’m really interested in how you became a professional faller and a little about yourself without being to personal for the public. It would be great if you could make a little autobiography. Stay safe. Kind regards Andrew from Australia 🇦🇺

[@BjarneButler]

Sure I’ll think on it

Those are nice looking corks. Who makes them? I used to use BF Goodrich Extra Toughs corks in the early 1980's.

[@BjarneButler]

I think they’re called champion corks

@@BjarneButler wouldnt put anything on my feet but a set of well oiled Vibergs...loving going through the vids man. Glad I found this channel. Was showing the wife what I wasted my youth on one day and found you. Falling heli wood..you ever work for Hayes, Coulson, Canadian Air Crane..or do you guys contract through ,werhauser, WFP..ect ect..just wondering if your working directly for the heli outfit or the timber owner.. I broke in with Fedgie & Gunnerson back in the early 90's..then went through the gambit after that.

Nice! That wet snow ever give you problems with stuff coming loose overhead?

[@craigernest4373]

What kind of chain grinders do most guys use? Just looking for advice on such. Thanks

[@BjarneButler]

Sorry can’t help you there. I’ve never used a grinder myself, always hand filed.

[@craigernest4373]

@@BjarneButler ya, same. Wood is off the ground here in snow. But on occasion something random happens. Long days not much time to freshen up the krom! :)

[@coastalblues5233]

@@BjarneButler atta boy..I'd been slapped had I ever done it otherwise. Shove the brake in your guts and file out to the tip..switching hands and sides as you go. Hook a tooth and pull the next bit to ya..repeat as necessary...you running 404 or 3/8? Skip tooth I'd guess too..also some saws sound like there Walkerized.?.(ported) for you new school guys.

[@AndyL940]

Hi mate , would you or another viewer tell me where your logging ? I’m guessing north west America or Canada . Thanks.love the videos.

[@BjarneButler]

West coast of Canada

[@f0rumrr]

If you like these videos, go read the books, The Golden Spruce, and The Wild Trees. They will make you love these videos even more. Because its so rare to fall such old trees. Thank you for making these videos. Im a landscaper, I can relate to having to wear all that shit just to keep dry.

[@BjarneButler]

Ya even then I still get wet, water will find a way in. Or I’m soaked with sweat. I find the most important thing is to be warm. It’s harder to be focused and productive when your cold and wet

[@DavidJones-smiley]

how many do you cut in a day when there like that 1?

[@outinthewood3578]

I know what you mean , I'm in a load of moss covered Spruce which I find the worst ! When it's dry it covers the filter and when it's wet ( like today !) it sprays through the mesh of the visor so good idea on the Qtip ! How do you find the Oregon RW ?

[@stephenkennedy9322]

??? NOW WHAT DO I DO ? I just subbed to your channel... BINGE Watched all your videos... Now What.. I'm still thirsty for more.. Great Job Thank You 🌲🌲🌲 You should have been on Discovery Channel Ax Men 👍

[@nkcwilliams]

Another great video. What Husky helmet is that your wearing? Does it have the ratchet on the back? Thanks Nick

[@buillioncubes]

They call that one the Technical Forest helmet. It does have a ratchet.

[@ronburke]

Ya i dont have a mirror but I been diggin stuff outta my eyes with qtips along time. I try not to work in the snow like that anymore my hands dont work well in it. Im gettin old and soft huh! Have a good one bro be safe n sane eh!!

[@BjarneButler]

Ya I’m starting to feel the years on my joints too. If I don’t stretch regularly then I fell like I’ve aged 30 yrs haha

[@erichusqvansonswanson7955]

What do must of your partners run for saws? You guys have a community grinder at camp?

[@BjarneButler]

Husky 390 or Stihl 660. And everyone has their own grinder

[@bikedeefer]

Are these huge trees old growth or old second growth?

[@BjarneButler]

Old growth

[@siyz250]

Bjarne. I really reckon gloves would help your hand issues talked about on other videos. Got to be better in these conditions ((warmth)(hands clean for removing sawdust from eyes🙂)) and vibration dampening every other day. (Better for the very sensitive nerves in the hands).

[@BjarneButler]

Thanks for the info I’m looking into gloves for winter time

[@erichusqvansonswanson7955]

Yes my brother I am all too familiar with the dirty hands and dusted eyes It sucks. I always try to have a rag in my jacket somewhere that is very light cloth

[@gusdolan6801]

Did your jacket come Hi-Viz, or did you attach that yourself somehow?

Ya I used Freeso glue. I highly recommend it

Bro you need some gloves.... I know some prefer to cut without them I can't cut without them, I'm talking the bulky s***... these are my go-to gloves when cutting they are freaking awesome you have all your dexterity they actually keep your hands warm even when they get wet it's just like a little thicker skin need to try them :) nitrile "TOUGH GT" . # 3702 Believe you me I've tried them all these things are awesome cheap I usually by about 10 pair each time. And they do was stand quite a bit of punishment and last a long time I'd send you a pair if I knew how to get them to you

[@BjarneButler]

I’ll check them out thanks

[@Olympia_Outdoors]

Sad to see such old trees come down. Not hating, just saying.

[@AndyL940]

I kinda feel the same , I must be getting old and soft. I love cutting and saws and all the good stuff but there is something about those old beauty’s. Anyway the man is doing his job and providing for his family. Stay safe ....I enjoy your videos.

Stop complaining and get to cutting the tree .
