Remote Logging Camps | Helicopters & Log Barges | Building 

Ol buck'n'billyray would be in his glory checking them old saws out in bet. Great vid bud. Can't wait for the next one

It's just a different way to go to work lol. I miss it. Plane-plane-heli-boat-tug. Then move camps lol. Great footage bro

Thanks for the tour, lots of logistics involved, all have a vital role in this operation.

WOW ,how other people work. Amazing stuff . Most impressive. Just another day for you i suppose. Thanks for showing.👍👍

This was cool, thank you so much for showing everywhere around the camp! always wondered what those float camps look like on the inside. 👍

That museum was awesome!

Thank YOU very much for this very nice Video !!! Kinde regards from Switzerland !!!

My son really enjoyed watching this. Thanks for keeping it clean.

Heli logged Devastation Bay in 96, lived on a ship, logs landed on ice breaker, and coulson was the flyer

Got way more than expected when I clicked on this video, really great stuff, thanks for the tour!

Excellent video bjarn, really cool, that's a big operation, alot of money at that camp, man that barge is impressive, sweet looking heli too, man that's really impressive, thanks for sharing 🌲💪

Coal Harbour!! My dad lived there from 1976 to 2001 up the hill from that hangar, loads of memories. The rest of the video was great also, cheers for sharing.

Ah, a life few of us have ever had a peak into. Thanks, Bjarne. Have a safe rotation.

Thank you for showing yourself "going to work". I spent a season in a "log camp"in the Sequoia National Forest", in 1970. It was easy to get to compared to your commute. It was at 10,000', so a little different. Great video's, Michael

What a fantastic insight into how you live when you are away from home. It answers many questions that occur to many of us who work within comfortable daily travelling distances of our home. Many thanks, stay safe and kindest regards from Scotland.

Fun times flying in a Turbo Otter. The Hercules Barge I believe was owned by Seaspan, I don't recognize the W logo. VIH Kamov still swinging wood. Nice to see these things again, thanks Bjarne.

Great video Bjarne. I can only imagine what the blade control linkage looks like on those coaxial helicopter blades! 🤯

Nice to see the Cannon bars, the only bars I ever used, good German steel. Camp life ,,

I remember that log barge was loading logs in Menzies Bay in early 2000 - 2004. They sunk a boom boat. Had to get divers in to find it so they could recover it. Interesting watching them work while loading.

I love work...I can watch it for hours! Floating man camps reminded me of the camps we lived in over in Iraq as civilian contractors, only there, they were locked together and looked like shipping containers on the outside and rooms were for 2 men. Some were two stories with stairs on the outside at Anaconda, a huge logistics base north of Baghdad. Not many chainsaws around, though...but lots of date trees...

Best video I've seen anywhere in a long time. Fascinating how the camp works. Thanks Bjarne

Now that was awesome - great behind the scenes look at a loggers gig. Really enjoyed this video, thanks brother, cheers

Thank you for all your fantastic uploads , nice to see the working area ……amazing ! Greetings from Holland.

Much appreciated!! It's really fun to go along with you on work adventures, thanks for sharing :)

Very good content, loved the museum, the lodging is pretty interesting,Got to see a bunch of stuff a regular guy would never see. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe out there.

Whoah!!!! That “chainsaw museum” was amazing !!!!!! Never seen anything like before

Wow. It is so cool to see the scope of humanity in process. Thanks for sharing.

I was in Coal harbour in '72, got a job buckin' the timber at the mine site, into 6' lengths so it would go through the shovel doors. Sure looks different today, was an old whaling station then, a few people lived there, out of the way place from Port Hardy.

Excellent footage, Bjarne! Appreciate the window into your world!

Great job on the video. Cool to see museum, camp, surroundings and all the other equipment. Chopper and barge at the end was the best. Thank's.

Great Video! Thanks for the quick look at that old saw and equipment museum, and the barge and float camps!!! Subbed!!

If you get the chance to take another run around the museum that would be much appreciated. I love seeing old antique motors and chainsaws and stuff like that.

Incredible video Bjarne 👍 can't wait to see some cutting too!! Who knows maybe you'll find a bonus nugget in your pan !! Be good and stay safe.

The dry room is giving me heavy hockey locker room packing a dip vibes

Buckin Billy Ray would love that museum!!

“This..... is my BOOMSTICK!” Sorry - somebody had to say it. I like chainsaws. Just subscribed!

Excellent footage!!!! If I didn’t need it to hold my saw, I’d give my right arm to be there cuttin with ya! What a dream that would be!

Such an amazing site to see those kinds of barges dump the logs off. I've never seen them load it so this is awesome to see as well. Really wish I could have got into this line of work.

Sooo cool to see the behind the scenes! Love the old museum! Keep up the hard work 🤙🏼

Thanks for the tour, Bjarne. It's something we RU-vid fellers never see. What a massive industry...and physically exhausting and DANGEROUS work! 🤯 I hope the grub in good! 😉 You should get HAZARD PAY...just for getting to CAMP!

Somebody is going to show up for work in a monster truck to finally win the contest that's going on in the parking area.

Quite shocked at the end when the helicopter finally came into view! It's a Soviet made Kamov KA-32 coaxial. I didn't know any North American countries were utilizing these birds? If it works, take advantage of the tool.

Hey buddy, I hope you are doing well and staying safe out there. Also, have yourself a great shift out there

Thanks so much for a very interesting video….you answered so many of our questions! 👍🏻😳😁

Man I want to get in the Kamov so bad!! Ive logged in 500's (support), Huey and the KMAX. Worked off a barge in rivers inlet back in 2013. Fun as hell back in those days!

Reminds me when I worked offshore in the north sea, but without the chainsaws and logs. Similar kinda feel

Filming the Kamov Ka 32 helicopter at the end of the video is a real rarity!

Great video Bjarne. One of the most interesting I've seen on RU-vid. Appreciate it, take care.

Hey I fly with scare cab all the time! West coast road builder here! Thanks for the videos

Bjarn..that was a great video....especially at the end there looking rite into the counter rotating blades on that helicopter.....man that's something you really don't see any day......thanks so much......take care and be safe.............

Wow..nice thurale video ,quite the operation going on there..thanks for sharing, never seen such an operation..very cool.

Ever cool bud I’ve never a residential climber for over 15 yrs now I would love to hop on a job site like that what a experience be safe bro thanks for the videos deadly

Pretty brave standing that close to a vodka burner while it's landing. LoL Nice to see the camp and log boom side of your work.

Wow, that is really cool! Thanks for sharing this with us! Stay safe!

This is incredible!

Excellent video. You answered a lot of questions I had. Keep up the great work. Be safe and have fun.

I worked for many years at contracting in the mines in Australia and your logging camps seem like a scaled down version of what the mines use. With the mines though the accommodation is entirely separate from everything else except the dirt we took back to camp everyday. It's a pretty mind numbing existence but then again you're there to work. My standard kit always included a big box of books for when I wasn't just eating and sleeping in camp. I worked seven day weeks for months on end but then there was nothing else to do and getting it done meant getting out sooner. The biggest camp I stayed in held 3000 men which was a construction job for $b new mine. One of the quirks of the men doing this kind of work was that they were mainly all junkies for it so you'd see the same people from one job to the next on job sites sometimes thousands of miles apart. Thanks for the insight into your world.

well now i know why i never get high score at tetris. those barge boys are too dang good

Hey Buddy, Thanks for the very cool ride and video of everything else. You be safe out there. Can't hardly wait for the next one. You will have to tell us how you like that Cannon Bar. I just got a new 32" and 28" Shugi Hara's from Bailey's just today as a matter of fact. Anyhow be safe buddy.

Log drop into the water was cool!

Man this is wicked ! Dream living right here mate

Helicopter at the end is a Kamov Ka-32 if anybody's interested.

Our camps in SE Alaska are similar, yours are definitely a little fancier

Lmao. Pans into the library, “eh just books” pans to next room. XD amen

Logs must be worth alot to cover all that overhead. Be safe.

That was really kool watching the process!! Hope you get or got a nice raise, They need share the love!!!

That thumbnail is pure horsepower in a picture

that losing the wrench was classic... so glad its not just my life...

I have a ‘31 pickup just like that 🥰😎🤙. Awesome video

Awesome video, watching from the prairies.

I've spent a night or two in one of those ROOMS. Surprisingly it's really not bad when you consider you're usually dead-dog tired at the end of a shift so Eat and laze-around for a few then SLEEEEEP. ONLY if the BED is decent...LOL. Mostly Northern Montana Logging and the last time was working in Texas Oil fields as a Mechanic. I'll bet the FOOD is pretty good too....Usually is in a good Man-Camps run by a good company. Hope you're all COMFY in there...LOL

Those De Havilland Beavers are my favorite aircraft! The turbo Beaver not so much. Nothing like the sound of that wasp radial!

Sweet museum thank u 4 sharing

Amazing video, great to see different aspects of the business, thanks for sharing 👍

Excellent, excellent video !! Something few people get to see or even know about.

Cool video. Wouldn't ever have seen anything like this if you hadn't taken time to make it Good job.

Seems like a fun job.

My Dad is a barge loader on the Hercules 3 that you filmed, he runs the back crane the one with the red grapple

Hi, a great first vid, glad i stumbled by. Looks like a great work place, plenty of action. From a retired marine engineer in kiwiland. N Z. I had a problem in my Nissan diesel 4x4 a few years ago. Was a sealed electrical item in my alternator come fuel pump. About seven years ago. Had to get a whole new unit. 867 bucks worth. Good luck finding the problem. I constantly carried two new batteries and long extended jumper leads, until the problem was found.😕

Thanks for the video Bjarne mate

Canadian Boys Logging has the Hercules unloading its cargo.

Cool to see barge loading

The Hook tenders name in Knight inlet was Eskimo he was about 50+yrs old and about 5ft nothing toughest little man when we had to change " roads " one day he Grabbed a block & tackle probbaly 100+lbs over his shoulder and scrambled through the bush on the side of a Mountain . made us young ones look like 🐔's if you were that last man to set a bead he would threaton to pull the rigging on you ( of course he never did ) back at camp after supper he would teach / show anyone of us the easy way / tricks of setting a bead even on 2 logs at a time and how to stay alive on the mountain

I was hoping to see takeoff with all that weight. Nice flight.

A Ways enjoyed heli barges, good food, clean, and the Kamov’s were so cool to be,around. Coulsons had the best food.

Re: your battery drain…, all these new vehicles have a bunch of electric devices on board, that “go to sleep” (so to speak) when you shut them off at the ignition. However they still draw a minute bit of current/charge, that over a couple of weeks of not being driven, will in deed kill the battery. There are disconnect devices that can be installed on the battery(s) that only require the turn of a knob to cut the battery(s) current off, as opposed to using a wrench on the cable/terminal. There are also solar powered trickle chargers that can be placed inside the cab dash, and plugged into the cigarette lighter, but I would be worried that you don’t get enough sunlight to maintain enough charging. I suspect anyone of those air frame & power folks can give you input as well. Is that a “turbo-prop” Beaver aircraft…? Did not know there was still these type of remote logging camps around. My dad drove a log truck for 30yrs in western Oregon. Great video insight into our work world, Thank you sir.

now that barge is soooo much nicer than those rat traps i was in at silver bay....

good to know how things work, great video

lmao, i got this recommended after watching heli logging videos and you should have seen my face after you turned the flying bit into a hair dryer. 😂

Another great video Bjarne, stay safe. I see stihl bar oil there, what two stoke oil do they use, im curious 👍

Any chance of an unedited flight from engine start to maybe 30 seconds after liftoff? I love the engine sounds. If you do maybe put the plane type in the description to get that juicy juicy add rev from all the aviation nerds 😉

Took a beaver out from illiamna out across the way seemed to take forever to get off the water too!

Absolutely amazing video mate, ☺.

Neat !! I don’t see how any money is made !! So much expensive equipment and it’s so remote!!

Thanks for video. Kamov great piece of machine

Great vid! 👍🏽

Great shot of the Kamnov

What an awesome job you have!!! love you brother, stay safe and cant wait to see those hammers slam on the next vid

Been there, Done that for Columbia and Erickson cutting timber for helicopter logging...

That was great, interesting to watch!👍
