Forest Jackson and Blue Line Land Works Falling a patch of nice timber in Southwest Washington. If you are are wondering about the stack of logs that we often used to fall across, the purpose is two fold. First we were falling on a small parcel that had a knoll right in the middle of it. By lifting the but of the log in the air it allows the rest of the tree to cant over the knoll without breaking. The second reason is that by falling over the stack of logs or even a single log, it allows the top of the tree to catch up to the rest of the tree before it slaps the ground and breaks. It takes a little more time but you save a lot more wood when you are falling trees this big. Sometimes Quality over Quantity is the way to go.

A lot of guys won’t appreciate the skill of these cutters. Low stumps, no tearing of the trees, saving the best quality timber. Few years experience there.

I fell timber in the Queen Charlotte Islands B.C. back in the 1970's. Brings back old memories. No fir up there but the Sitka Spruce were a real challenge. I like how you use the logs to lay the wood down softly. Great job guys!

I broke in falling for Crown Zellerbach at Sandpit in 1976. I quit doing it about 15 years ago but still live in the islands up on the very north end. Seventy one years old I'm still a logger going to work every day running equipment, there's much truth in it gets in your blood. Maybe we crossed paths.

@@mikee9065 Hey, good for you still working at 71. Keeps you sharp. Yeah I broke in at Sewell Inlet in 1978 for Fedje and Gunderson. Les Kelly was the bullbucker. I was partnered with Ted Harkonen most of the time a Finn nicknamed Blondie. Also there were Dave and Pat Nicholson and their father John. Other fallers were Andy Robberstaad, Hal Carmont, Kenny Foote. Bullbucker later was Lew Taylor a Native guy who later went to Dinan Bay. He was on the cover of Georgia Strait magazine back in the late 80's. Good times. I left Sewell in 1984. Good camp 6 days a week. Went to other camps for a while. Logging was dying so I got into urban tree work. That was good and in Vancouver but being young and falling was the best. Am 72 now and think of it all the time. Stay safe brother. Maybe you knew some of those guys!!

@@mikeuyeda2330 I do know a couple of those guys you mentioned, Mike. I worked with Les Kelly on a job at Kitkiata Inlet on Douglas Channel near the village of Hartley Bay in the late eighties and Ken Foote lived at Sandspit and had a small salvage logging and custom cut sawmill at Naden Harbour for many years. We stayed in the same camp at Eden Lake. There was a woods foreman at Sewell I took flying lessons at the same time and place with and he bought a fast little Mooney and immediately killed himself and his wife near Port Hardy pushing weather, don't remember his name. I'm sure we could swap stories for hours and you ever get back up this way let me know and we will, until then you take care.

Southwest Washington is where I was born and where I grew up. When my dad was a young man in the 1930's he worked as a logger up in the east end of Lewis County. After I was grown, I met a man who worked in the woods with Dad, and this man told me that he taught my future father how to drop a tree right where he wanted it to go. I saw Dad do that a few times when I was a kid, and it just fascinated me to see him do that.

Nice job you guys, I I appreciate the fact you take the time out for these vids. Really nice of you guys. I worked in the woods for awhile. There was a guy by the name Gary Sprague, little short guy, when they got in big timber he looked really cool with his saw n bar, so much taller then he was. He had a horrible mis-hap jacking trees. Really nice guy. Industry is really changing. I'm glad you young guys got it in your blood ;) hello n hi to all from Florida, Eddie

I must have watched you swing dutchman that tree at 1:39 about a dozen times. Pretty awesome to watch the process in slow-mo and see the remaining holding wood roll it as the face cut closes. Definitely helped me better understand the process, both intentional and otherwise! Thanks for the explanation about the log stack too. Before I read that, I couldn't figure out why it looked like you were taking the risk of breaking more.

I thought falling a tree across a perpendicular log could result in fracturing the falling tree.

It could if it's done incorrectly however if done properly it can reduce the damage done to the tree compared to if it just fell normally

After serving in the US Army during WW 2, Dad got a job working in a plywood mill in Centralia, Washington. When the mill went belly-up in the late '60's he found work in another plywood mill in Aberdeen, Washington. Later he worked at a lumber mill in Oregon, where he retired. Dad passed on in 1995 at the age of 83.
