Thanks. I done some pretty amazing log walks. Across huge ravines, over bluffs, over raging creeks on very steep ground. I’ve had walk log trails where you don’t touch ground for 10 minutes.

Hey Buddy, Been wondering how you were doing. Fall has fallen here and we have already had a good 5" of wet heavy snow that we worked thru earlier this month believe it or not. But things are going great guns now and the Mill is open and up to speed so the landings are emptying out quickly. We have about 2 months yet of falling in this section of timber then we will have to pack up and move out closer to the road for the winter months. Thanks for taking the time to carry us along with you....it's always an adventure going with you for sure. Stay Safe and try to keep dry and outta harm's way. R.C. "Charlie" Hill

[@BjarneButler]

[@jeffjones742]

Just curious, why do you leave such a high stump on most of the trees? I'm sure there's a very good reason...

[@BjarneButler]

On a heli job with steep ground you need to make high stumps in certain areas in order to prevent the log rolling down the hill. A run away outside the block is not good. It is also done for safety, it’s a lot safer to buck a log that is horizontal. Danger trees are always cut at waist level to that your in a standing position if anything goes wrong then you can run away faster. Sometimes a non-merch tree is cut high because wood waste is not an issue and/or the faller is lazy.

@@BjarneButler Thanks. I mapped soils mainly in Washington, Oregon during my career. In watching your videos I see many of the same species of trees and understory as I saw in the Pacific Northwest. The species you have in that area of British Columbia are the same ones (for the most part) that are found here at higher elevations. Difference in latitude effects that relationship. Thanks for the great videos.

[@dennis2376]

Do you plan the way logs go or just let them fall were they want to go?

It’s all planned. It’s easy to smash wood so it’s essential to avoid that if possible

[@chrisreid5272]

How often do you go and buck what's on the ground between dropping them ?

[@BjarneButler]

I buck all merch wood that’s safe and practical to. Most of the time it’s uneventful so I don’t film it. Sometimes you can’t because it’s not safe to or it’s rolled too far down the hill so it’s not practical. The heli company has a bucking crew that gets all the ones we couldn’t or weren’t practical at the time. They’ll even use the chopper to reposition the log so they can buck it safely. It’s the preferred method cuz buckers are cheaper then fallers

Some companies will take trainees but you still need some experience or background in running a chainsaw or other logging work.
