Bjarne you have been cutting in cedarland the last few weeks with there being so many very large specimens. You are always up for the challenge of each giant cedar specimen.
You gotta admire the attitude of a guy who looks at a couple of monster cedars laughs and says this should be easy 😀
Bjarne That was cool you filming that old pacific logging truck coming down the mountain amazing they are still in use.
Thanks for filming your work, Bjarne, I try to catch them all! Work safe!
Awesome, what a great way to see tree felling.
I smile when you worry about camera placement because, Dude, this is awsome! Thanks for the effort and time doing this! I am just grateful :)
Go pro in the window was pretty darn cool
Those old Pacific trucks are beasts.
I bet there’s some wood turning and wood art guys that would be jonesing for those “little” pieces he threw to the side.
Noicce work Fella, that was a unique daring shot from the GoPro of the first Cedar falling from inside of the undercut. Cheers for another swish reel Bjarne, looking forward to watching you fall that huge tree you have coming up...
Some nice cedars. That first tree, you had me confused about what you were doing. Lol

Great video. Watch for "widow makers" !!!! No trees like that on the East coast. Stay safe.
Echo was very cool!
Great job Bjarne
Those are huge trees, but I remember in the 1970's seeing a photograph taken around the early 1900's in Port Angeles WA. where a tree was cut and the stump had been hollowed out and was used as the local Post Office. They had put a roof on the stump, cut a door and windows, the stump must have been more than 25 feet ( 8m) in diameter. Even in the 1970's when they had a one-tree-truck-load, the truck carrying the tree would drive through the town for locals to see it.

Gezz that is bigger than anything in the Redwoods even Saqoia. On the Portervile Indian reservation i cut a snag that was 22 foot. Close to the size as the General Shirmin. I don't think it is 25 foot.
ITS IS A JOY WATCHING YOU WORK FINE SIR 💯
I was thinking to myself, the saw isn’t cutting as well in this video. Then you made the same statement and the need to file the rakers. Thanks for the great videos, they are educational as well as entertaining. The saw appeared to run better on the backside of the first tree. Did you touch them up during the video off camera?
Cedar Sweet! Great schooling for us viewers! Thx
As I progressed in my falling of trees I could tell the rush I'd get in my adrenaline. The fear factor so to speak. I noticed that my fear was the most as I drove home from the woods. Coming down a grade with a loaded pickup truck. Was very scary. My adrenaline was off the charts. 😢😮😢😮 .
What you are cutting out for "windows" would feed my woodstove for a day n' bit ...keep my wee cabino warm as toast!!!
Phenomenal cedar product a guy would be glad to make a roof or sidewall from those. Im sure some mill would use a a sawlog but there really not. Be a dream to hand split some 24 to 30 inchers

Cool. Camera in stump view.
So what do you do with worn-out corks? Do you sharpen them? Or replace them (are they threaded inserts?), or do you just buy a new pair of corked boots?
How's the new saw working
Very cool. Love watching you work these big trees. Btw why does your chain/clutch keep jamming?
Pretty cool!
What a beautiful place ❤
AND MANY THANKS FOR THE VIDEOS...
I just figured out what you were doing when you cut the notch out of the center of the tree,you were making a place for the Go Pro 😊
Wow, some big cedars there…wish that Bluetooth microphone was better sounding with the saw.
Beautiful echo off the mtns BJarne
camera quality is awesome :D
hi their Bjarne just a question why do you cut so high leaving a 4/5 ft stump i can understand it on a bank to stop ather trees rolling down bank but it seems a big waist of good wood other times by the way i like
Seams like the 592 could use a higher volume oil pump for those big cedars.

Actually it is the heat stretching the chain for the most part allowing chips between the nose sprocket and chain. Though I suppose you could say heat is also oil =-) Or he just hasn't opened his oiler and is just going stock. Or closed the oiler for small stuff and forgot(heavens knows I have done that many times)

That as well, but in my finding and Western Red cedar that has not been a problem, but rather a bigger problem is the bar track loads up with sawdust pushing chain up and further off nose sprocket and when that happens bigger and bigger chips can get in till nose is plugged. Doesn't seem to matter what type of oil be it used engine oil or expensive "new" bar oil. So, long ago, I used used oil I pick up from wherever(have a construction guy who has lots of machines who gives me as much used oil as I could ever use). True can absolutely open the oiler WIDE open DUMPing oil down the bar and that helps, but when you run out of oil before you run out of gas.... ugg @@cameronhamer9432

Thank you for these great videos of beautiful countryside and the impressive skills you have. You make it look very easy, but I’m sure it’s anything but! I just wish you’d ditch that new microphone, or run two sounds tracks during editing. Use the camera mike for when you’re cutting and then, when talking use the mike on the body. You never talk while the chainsaw is working anyways!?! Just an idea.
Awesome.
Show the food at camp. What you take with you,,etc. Repair area, etc in detail!
To by mě zajímalo kolik tenhle šašek za život vysázel nových stromů...?
Nice job fella. Really nice to see a Sawyer that knows what the hell he is doing. Well done. 👍 I watch so many of these with self proclaimed hacks that have no idea how to cut big timber. Especially hardwood. They split trees, pull the centers, fall them on rocks and shatter them. That really test my gag reflexes. 😂 Back in my day, we would have been fired for that shit, Or at best, sent to be choker bitch. 😅 Btw, I kept my rakers filed down so far NOBODY would touch my saws. They couldnt handle them. 😂😂
That's an upgraded 592
Bjarne, is your home ON Vancouver Island or somewhere else. I’m only asking because I’m curious about transit times and hassles of getting to the logging camp where you stay for a few weeks and then come home. Because if the hassle isn’t worth it then…I’m fairly certain that you know what I mean by that.
So: 300ish years old since those ones are open grown?
What are the white straps above where he cuts ?
@ToddAdams1234

I’m curious about those things myself. Did you notice that he was moving them out of the way for his saw? Either that or he didn’t want them damaged. I wonder if they would have a negative impact on the chain.
@geraldmcclintock2567

@@ToddAdams1234 I’m hoping someone chimes in. My guess is they are a safety to prevent the tree from a barber chair situation or they prevent the stem from splitting when landing hard . Can someone confirm the use of the white straps. They are in most of the videos …. Two or even three on the big trees
@joerauhut9169
2 ай бұрын
I presume that is one reason ( to control the barber chair ,especially the deep cat face ones ) also to keep the good marketable wood from splintering up ,due to the impact of the drop and other trees hitting them when dropping. I use ratchet straps in my tree care work for split crotches ,etc.🙂
What’s up with the straps on the tree?

Probably to help prevent them from shattering when they hit the ground.
@AaronTheViking250

if they have a catt face, meaning a crack all the way, they will strap it, or in this case, cedar is so valuable they will strap them to hold them together because cedar is like glass hit hard enough breaks into huge slabs and hurts the money vaule of that tree at the mill hopefully that answers your question.
Why don't you hollow one of those big trees out. Make it a small livable cabin. Like they used to. I seem them in the woods. Now!
Any ideas how old this tree was?
Initially thought this guy was a real pro.....as the cutting proceeded I changed my mind more and more...!!!!

Don't see many fallers using the Humboldt cut. That seems to be more economically sound.
Bjarne you need a droan for your falling shots.
Muito bom...
THE ONLY WAY ANY OF YOU ARE GOING TO KNOW ANYTHING..IS GET OUT THERE & DO IT URSELF..MY HAT IS OFF TO THE FALLER OF THAT CEDAR TREE..IT WENT WHERE IT WAS SUSPOSE TO GO & NO ONE GOT HURT..GOD BLESS...

Trees that grow on hillsides are poor for lumber. Too much tension wood
Amazing videos!! I love the big old growth. It’s a shame that we have to cut them down. I know there are valleys and valleys of untouched but at some point we have to think that maybe there is more value in learning about them and leaving them standing! It’s a shame because all this beautiful wood gets shipped over to China.
Don’t complain when natural desater occurs, this keep part off the temperature in hi places bcs the oxigen hope your not tearing down tree and not living suficiente tree to balance the area we’re your working don’t look at the profet look how long trees like this take to grew up, the oxigen we breath it’s from tree like this get educated man. God bless you all
Cedar trees are weird. Good smelling long lasting wood though. Sell a ton of western red cedar at my lumber yard.

Should have double scared the front, cut the guts out all the way along save your hinge. You have gained nothing by doing the Humboldt scarf, cutting the block out the back negates this. I fel, timber here in Australia for around 10 years full time. In hardwood, second biggest trees in the world
