Respect for your skill in this difficult work environment, it's certainly got it all! Wet, steep, tangled, big wood, etc!! Work safe, and thanks for taking the time to make the videos!
Logged out of Terrace back in the day brings back lots of good {wet} memories it was a damn good job. 70 now so no sidehill climbing for me now. Ur vids bring me back thanks.
Beautiful area, kind of a nasty mess though. Make it look easy brother nice work. Good advertising for husky, work them saws hard. Need more merchandise, I'd sport a hard working guys gear!
We sure have some fun cutting days and some crapy and boring days too. You gotta see it in person, the camera just doesn’t really show how awesome falling the big ones can be
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
Hi randy. Wow 5” already. We got a warm streak right now. Almost feels like summer. Good to see your up and running. Hard to stay dry on those rainy days but as long as I’m warm I’m all good
Great job!! That timber must be reasonably soft the way those rakers are pulling. I’m guilty of being a little aggressive with the flat file also. Your Husky is nice. Be safe
How you do all that and run the camera so well? Incredible!! Make me feel old at 50. It’s all steeper than it looks on video. Lol like….grabbing a twig for that last couple feet..lol You are pro and a delight to watch. Never have seen you do anything I wouldn’t have done in 30yrs. Stellar!!! Smooth!!! Husky!!!
Well done, the POV really ups your game and showcases your sawmanship. Appreciated the explanation of the lower back cut following the bore cut. The log walk was kickass too, haha.
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. I’ve been 50+ ft up on a 80ft span across gullies. Done some amazing stuff in the bush. And I got paid too haha
That chain is cutting like crap 🤣. Always a good time watching the videos! I'm a hand cutter in new England. I simply love it. Did 10 year's in northern California in my 20s which was also incredible. God's country my friend! It doesn't get any better! Keep it up. Be safe.
Ya I had it a little too aggressive. I always like to get that chain cutting as fast a possible and sometimes I go too far. It’ll cut great for cedar but it’s too much for hemlock
It's always that way. Cuts great on one specie's and terrible on another. Your a fantastic cutter. Keep up the good work brother 💪. I just love the area. Absolutely beautiful.
You said it man. The wife and i are about to go for our lungs, for a simple 8x10 shed in the backyard. Makes me want to rig up the alaskan mill and feather the nest a little!
A group of us are milling our own off of timber on the ranch to rebuild some outdoor fencing. Considering all expenses, it should pencil out to about $1.50 per 2 X 6 (full 2 X 6)
Yup make it look fun haha i dont miss. Working in woods on a hill in nowhere .ok mabe a little watching this do you half to buck it up ?if your knotching and watching them not bad id hate to half to limb then on the hill
Before helliloggin those steep difficult sites would have been next to impossible to harvest. Maybe they should be left to Nature and we should ween ourselves of that lovely old froth timber
Love the content! Have you ever checked out Grizzly Peak scabbards? They make scabbards for wedges, axes etc at a good price. Might be something to check out. Stay safe out there. Cheers from Oregon.
in other videos, you talk of increasing your rpm`s, on your 572 or 592, I want to increase my power on my 365 as 28" is in need of a 32" to tackle larger firewood snags, how can I.
richie1014 the guy packs a 5 gallon gas can. They don’t make a combo can bigger than 2 gallon? Who said anything about a problem? My point is they don’t make one big enough is probably why he doesn’t use one??? Wtf?
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 Well that's good looks like your back to working pretty steady me to things are starting to pick up well keep your head up looks like the bush is a bit of a mess there and thanks for the great video.
I enjoyed the vid so while watching again, I took note of the ads times. May have been one at the beginning ? But 06:15 14:50 18:00 21:18 x2 ads 25:40 32.01..🙄
@@BjarneButler wow what a beautiful thing, here in southern Italy we don't have all these giants to kill, I'd like to come and live there and do this amazing job. Thank you, you were very kind to answer me.
@@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.
Hey buddy love ur videos did the same.job senc I left school in nfld in grade eight in Alberta now doing it here off and on mostly doing mechanic work love the woods loved the job but they shut er down in nfld Cutt for harder cable logger eight foot wppdlong timber for skidder got all my tickets BC fallers course how do I get a job there my.frie.d
Are you certified? How much experience? It’s really tough getting into production falling on the coast. Your better to start somewhere in the interior and get some experience. Some companies will take trainees but you still need some experience or background in running a chainsaw or other logging work. No one wants to take on a rookie/trainee that’s never worked in the bush or run a saw before. Also, a First Aid level 3 ticket is a huge plus
Good. It ran great for 3 weeks before it needed a grind. Still haven’t made the review video yet. I’m not in very big wood right now but do have some more vids with it coming
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
Joseph McCarry ya I’m sure the muffler is opened up a bit.. the chain brake flag/handle is different between the 390 and 395 for a super quick identification.
Back east we cut as low as we can, right on the ground. You are leaving a log for every 10 trees you cut. Shameful. !!!! ,..No respect for. The resource.
This is a heli job. So they only fly the cedar and high grade hemlock, spruce, fir and yellow cedar. Everything else gets left behind. Some stumps are purposely left very high in order to hold the wood up on the hill so it doesn’t roll down and smash to pieces. And so we don’t have to go “chase” any logs down the hill to buck them. The high stumps save out the wood and is easier to buck and an efficient way to work if you can hold the wood side hill. Of course I don’t need to make every “merch” stump high that be too much. Hope that explanation helps
