stupid ignorant a-holes read the description you dumbasses, hes not just cutting a tree cause he wants to or can, but because it is dead and a safety hazard, if you disagree and cal that bs, look at the wood, you can tell its basically got no value to it in how it just splinters, as in it was dead and rotting and a hazard, what if it falled on a leaf licking tree planter huh? bet you would feel a little bad then ,
You want me to make a video of how we used to do it with axe and crosscut saw? Chances are the fabric you are using to wipe your ass comes from cellulose fibres from pulp logs. Do you want me to make a video of me eating vegetables and laugh as I swallow them and flaunt the death of that essential organism? You remind me of the people who protested removing snags (dead trees) from the park on Port Alberni highway, they changed their minds after a couple people got killed while walking it in wind
@canadiancarguy There must be a lot of tree huggers in north america. The people in Switzerland really appreciate it when we harvest timber. A quarter of them are even thinking that we could harvest more if we want to. Do you have any hardwood over there?
It is not my ignorance that is astounding, it is the profound flaunting of the death of an organism that I find revolting. It is the flaunting of a essential product that disturbs me. Its like catching a wild animal and then gloating how I was able to down such a massive beast with my 21st century tools. Show me a video where a man takes down a 6 foot thick tree with a hand saw and I will take back my death wish. In the mean time I will wipe my arse with cloth.
@drake6430 were you born this dull or did you have to practice??? the tree had no value it was rotting/rotten and it posed a sizeable danger to any operator on the ground, so what worth more a couple of hundred year old tree thats fucked anyway or a guy's life?
300 years is nothing to Earth!! If it bothers you so much what are you doing about it? Don't you take dead plants out of your garden and replant new ones to give more life to the garden, the forest is the same principal. We just stopped all operations in a second growth block today because we found 2 Eagle nests that weren't spotted in the 2 original fly overs. Drake, why would you say something like that??? I let people like you post your thoughts and opinions and you want me dead???
@drake6430 Oh and Btw I love climbing trees for recreation but I am completely FOR logging because what use is the tree once it dies and just rots in the forest?
@petzltreeclimber Actually I imagine if you paid any attention in school with the way an eco system works is dead matter animal or plant otherwise contributes to the growth process of the enviroment where that matter then resides. Big rotten tree provides alot of nutrients as fertilizer and food for the surrounding plants and organisms promoting a healthy forest.
@petzltreeclimber Ahh you're come back is so clever! How could I ever bounce back from such a phenominal display of wit.... //sarcasm. Just for the record there Sally that means I actually think you're an... iiii--hiihii-iidiot.. If you even thought for one second in that bee-hive's nest you call a brain that maybe if you paid attention to my reply you'd realize I wasn't being insulting. You said the tree was useless in it's current state but you're dead wrong newbie...
yourself in this same situation with higher than normal blood pressure. Aaron isn't falling with us anymore, but this footage speaks for itself, this tree was similar to diffusing a bomb one wrong cut and the tree was heavy enought to collapse on itself, this is an achievment no one can take away from him. He removed this danger tree without injury and made the area safe for the harvesting of the timber; who else can say that they cut a 15 foot diameter tree down?
Don't kid yourself this was a high stress danger tree. You cannot see it clearly in the footage but there were broken off school marms hanging over our heads, that is why we got jumpy and ran away premature to the snag falling. I give Aaron a lot of praise for hanging in there and finishing this tree. How many of you out there are performing high stress and strenuous work with stints in your main arteries to your hearts? Aaron suffered a heart attack sometime before this video now imagine
Also the laughter in video was a reaction from the amount of adrenaline we experienced while cutting this snag down. Let me assure you our energy quickly wore off and we were extremely tired for the rest of the day after.
change. We realize we have a long ways to go to fully understand the effects we have on our earth, at least we recognize that our actions have affected the climate and we are moving forward to attempt to correct our mistakes. I appreciate all of opinions expressed in the comments of this video and as you can see I haven't erased anyone's reply. So my next question is who weeds their gardens? Is this not similar to what us loggers do on a smaller scale???
While I realize we will probably begin to harvest old growth wood when the demand arises, I have to admit look at how far we have come to recognize the effects we have had on our environment. We are seeing increased salmon run numbers (with the exception of sockeye), we are seeing increased wolf, bear and deer populations. While I get annoyed at some of the people putting me down for my actions sometimes, it was this freedom of expression that we have in our society that helped pave the way for
or has evolved to. While I felt great remorse a couple hours after I helped Aaron fall the tree, I also felt proud to be a part of the circle of rebirth and renewal of the great coastal rainforest. We have a truly renewable resource here, and if we do things right, we will maintain the forests of North America for generations to come. I am happy to say that we are not harvesting any old growth timber at this time all of our demand for wood is second and third growth wood for the asian markets
There has been alot of comments regarding this cedar tree that I had to cut down a couple years ago. Let me set you folks straight, I felt terrible that we were cutting down such a majestic example of nature. With that said, this particular cedar was completely dead and any signs of life you may have thought you saw was a new generation of trees growing in this dead tree. 1 hemlock and 1 cedar somehow took to life on this snag. Everyone is entitled to their beliefs, this is what the world was
I cannot understand the extremely nasty, unhelpful and insulting way some, and we can all see whom it is, come to view a great video, but instead of any hint of a compliment, they only have time for derisory comments, and as another poster has written, blurting out almost before a sentence starts insults, nasty unmistakable rubbish, is, if they would understand, indeed shouting at themselves. sn9696 has encapsulated the term for these types of thoughts. Projected terms says it all!
Wow! Though we missed a substantial part of the skill of these 'tree cutter downers', the drama of the almost fall, then when it actually fell was truly awesome!
I did not watch it to check it against the other millions of fully grown trees being cut throughout the Southern America's. I
I watched it because I like to watch skilled loggers, and cutting a huge DEAD tree such as this has to be a whole different sack of marbles to your average back garden pine!
@MrEpidemik ,i did read it ! What you so mad about? You are talking about yourself,this is Psychological term called projection. A Defense mechanism whereby one "projects" one's own undesirable thoughts, motivations, desires, and feelings onto someone else. Who's the ignorant "F" ?? YOU ARE!
Yes, my house is wood framed..from second growth pine...So if you guys left this tree standing..The world would stop...Explain to me the"Necessity", to harvest this old growth tree, over hundreds of millions of second growth harvestable trees in our forests. If is not money..please explain.
@sweetkellymay I can explain it! This is someone elses property and its called PROPERTY RIGHTS!!! There is so much old growth locked up in parks and reserves its choking the parks systems in America alone to try and keep them maintained.
Maybe you people are posting your biased opinions before you read the description and comments. This tree had hardly any value and wasn't worth cutting down; however, it was dead and had a broken top tangled in the school marms and presented a real danger to the workers on the ground. There is the odd old growth tree or pocket of old growth trees that end up in our cut blocks what can you do it happens. This tree was no longer producing oxygen, it was consuming it, more reason to add new sapling
I would feel guilty and bad cutting that down. I think that is the biggest tree i've ever seen. Why not just grow trees and cut those down. Why must you kill and take 500+ year old tree?! Yes, its 'just a tree' but most of you that say that do not understand nature and our world.
mr banana mask, yeah clear cutting forests that result in catostrophic landslides just so those same companys can do it again to rebuild those towns. they cant rebuild the lost lives tho, but that doesnt matter, does it.
@TheJazzeater You should not be living in a house that is built out of wood You should be living in a cave or shivvering under a rock somplace. You should burn down your house if it is made of wood as you are just as responible as if you cut down the tree yourself.
That was awsome now never more hurry up now and cut it in to un recognizable peaces for the consumer so we won't recognize what you are doing and make the right deciseion to strong arm your bone head industry off valid American heritage sites.
canadiancarguy. great job. i would have cleared the area better where you working, eh? other than that. let's educate these pot smoking hippies that this kind of work stabilizes our ecosystem and promotes forest growth, not the opposite.
This is not cool at all. Thousands of years to grow this tree, that pumps out enough oxygen to keep a couple dozen people alive, and along come some morons with their chainsaws and destroy it.
This is why we need to legalize hemp, and loosen up the building codes. There is no need for this kind of destruction of our planet.
Funny because that tree toppling, which is truly a magical event probably no matter how many times you see it, resembles how the twin towers should have fallen with the core of the building still intact, which I think is kind of interesting.
Wow 5-600 years old, youve corrected me heaps there.. soo u pose me the question of where would I get all the wood for my house? Plantation tree's. In Australia they solemnly use housing construction from radiata pine timber, they DONT use old growth tree's. What you've done in this video is a disgrace, now in my life time I am not going to see another old growth tree. I dont wanna go on here, but its not sustainable cutting down old growth red cedars like that, U need to get educated, not me.
What a magnificent piece of wood! And great cut, even though I dont know much about woodcutting, it looked very secure and neat! :)
And to all those ignorants who rant about treecutting, most of them dont know, that ancient trees use more oxygen than they produce, just to keep themselves alive! While young trees use oxygen to grow, mature trees produces more oxygen than they uses, but when they're very young and very old, that ratio turn. Cutting old and planting new ones are good for nature. :)
jesus I want come there and get some experience we ve got nothing that big here, If you care about the enviroment support your timber industrys, you dont mine drill or bomb for timber, You walk in you work you see the enviroment we logger no whats going on we see the frogs the bugs funa and flora you see what others want you see, get the experience then judge a logger. Keep up the good work guys and please keep posting
May I correct you or correctyou on your statement canadiancarguy Canada has saved 20%of the old growth forests that are LEFT in the country. Canada has remarkably lost just under 80% of it's old growth's historical range, so really if u think about it that's nothing at all hence you cant be the one to criticiseanyone from Europe when Canada has just as bad of an environmental history,Unlike any other continent in the world, Europe's forest percentage is increasing. Dont argue without evidence m8
I am always open to other people's views. We are not out here to kill the planet, it might not be perfect what we do, but we are much better at renewing this form of natural resource than other industries. Heck we are harvesting for the 3rd time in some spots. That right there proves that Silviculture IS a renewable industry. I think some people should focus their energy on worse things happening on our planet, recycling can be worse for the environment than logging depending on what it is.
@canadiancarguy In the time people spent typing asinine comments complaining about this video and how you loggers are "destroying" nature, they could have been protesting the COP17 or its outcome.
If they think this is bad, see what happens when they clear all that old growth forest in Canada to get to the tar sands oil. All of that is totally screwed up, and everyone is oblivous to it because of the way the corporate national media functions.
You are treating these new plantings like U.S. govt treated soc sec. I will give you this though, You did admit to F'ng things up and that is growth. Old growth trees are
crucial to the planets survival. You loggers today seem to think that this planet will recycle itself, maybe it will. But why do we need to go down this road? You are logging for an evil corp. and they dont care about your childrens childrens children. This is all about EVIL Now spell that word evil backward and change course
Wrong again. My anger stems from too much education. As I stated before I am an ARBORIST and former logger. I used to high climb for simpson collecting cones from tops of old growth doug fir for their nursery. You ARE planting more trees than you are harvesting. But heres the rub: Say you plant 200 trees for every 1 old growth felled. That amounts to putting 10 lbs of wood in the ground and removing 50 tons. (Just an example) So do the math. -----Cont.
Half these comments are absolutely retarded. The poster is a troll trying to rile up the E Fs . Same shit everywhere. People really do suck. The day will come and that right soon that you will all pay for this shit. Me,... I am going to veer away from this piss fir willy page and watch Carl. ADVICE: view Pale blue dot. fuckin idiots.
If you knew more how things work you wouldn't be so pissed. There is a really good documentary done by BBC about how we are affecting the earth and how we might make it inhospitable for ourselves, but life always starts over and will continue to thrive long after we are gone. This has been proven from the time of the dinasaurs to the ice age to present day. Yeah we might be fucking shit up, but at least we are putting back MORE than what we took. More than what others have done
@canadiancarguy Whose to say, candianguy, that we--whoever you are referring to--are doing more or more than others?
Sounds to me like you don't really have the facts. I do agree with your comment about loggers perhaps recognizing that trees can be harvested, but, c'mon, loggers are hardly eco-friendly.
@canadiancarguy People will be here long after the present Earth is gone, in the Spirit of course. Environmental issues will never be our demise, sorry to sound preachy but it's the undeniable truth my friend. Sorry to see a Good several hundred year old tree go, but it's just a tree. as long as we re-plant and put back what one takes, we'll start to see progress. Good job on the falling. God Bless :)
You must feel proud of yourself taking town this tree probs over a 100 years old, and knowing the fact that 10% of Canada's forests are "protected". "That was awesome" trust people from north America to say that. You cannot say tree's like that "need to go", go and get off your arse and get a proper job than sitting as a chainsaw or forestry worker whom are causing everyone in the world to be affected.
@siberiantiger2354 Are you serious? Are you really so ignorant that you don't know where your toilet paper comes from? The framing in the walls of your house? Furniture, movie film, maple syrup, breast cancer medicine, books, magazines, the list goes on -- all of these are timber products that only exist because of us who are "off our arses" doing the "proper job" of providing timber for today and for the future.
@siberiantiger2354 a little bit of education goes a long way, everyones talking about how much they know about it and you think a 15 foot diameter cedar is probably over 100 years old haha. dude this tree was probably 5-600 years old. And before you get all pissy about cutting trees down explain to me that your house isnt made out of wood.
Excellent! That brings back some memories! I could almost smell the cedar dust while you were working on the back cut there! Nice to see you set her down without shattering too, but I think they may have to slab it to get it in, or lifted on a truck. Big snags like that are dangerous alright, I've seen them implode and once I saw guy on the island ride 50' down the mountain side with the stump when it all the ground cut loose for 20' around the tree once it got about 10 degrees over.
It is easy to judge when one is blinded by what is going on in a video and doesn't understand the big picture of what is going on, we are doing our best to keep our forests healthy. We are fighting battles against diseases and pests that were introduced from other countries. If we don't act now and stop the dying of our forests they will gone forever. If you people can't understand this than you shouldnt post. Yes it is a shame to cut a giant down, but if it is spreading disease it needs to go
@canadiancarguy So am I expected to believe that you only fell infected dying trees? What a crock of crap. I was born and raised in humboldt and Humboldt redwoods are nearly all gone, the eel river has filled with sediment and still, retards like you insist you are good stewards of the forest. I am an arborist now, I SAVE TREES. I wish you AND the earth firsters would just die off and let the trees live. Sustainability my ass! COHO salmon-GONE Grizzly extinct in ca.
This was one tree (that was dead, broken and a danger), that was in the middle of a second growth area that we were harvesting. Where we work there is no real old growth forests. There was a hurricane in 1908 that blew down most of the trees where we harvest. All the other stuff was already harvested once in the 1930 to 1940s. It is silviculture, like a giant farm. We are taking better care of our forests than any other country in the world. All of our endangered animals are coming back.
I see people from all over the world commenting on cutting down dead old growth trees. You guys have overharvested and cut down ALL of your old growth rain forests and overpopulated your countries. We have saved 20% of our old growth forests that will never be cut down. I seen what you europeans did to your forests so what gives you guys the right to open your mouth and comment?
for sure now with you to control the world, the giants of our forests will no longer shade the dwarfs ................................... and oh! and oh!
@canadiancarguy I.m a humboldt native punk. Have you anything to say to me? Stupid servile scum you are.
Have you an opinion on the headwaters, YOU FOUGHT TO LOG IT OUT. So dont get on youtube and insist you are an asset to the forest and berate those that question your logging practices. You are a liar and you are killing something that belongs to ALL THE WORLD. Have another bud lite and a dip of chew and enlighten us on how you are helping the forest.
Americans and Canadians see things a little different. You guys fucked up your shit and are now tellin us what to do just like the rest of the world. We are having record breaking salmon runs this year in my area. Don't try and stereotype all logging companies are evil, get off your ass and come see how we do it up here. Gotta realized that forests will be here long after humans are extinct they will come back the world changes we are just speeding things up
@canadiancarguy So again I ask: You only take out dying trees? C'mon bub, You know as well as I these so-called dying trees are an integral and vital peice of the habitat that makes the forest diverse. The problem here is that you are too sensitive and defensive on the issue of logging practices to be honest. Just like the E.Fs
An absolutely polarized subject. Just please consider foregoing the joy of bringing down these giants and consider a higher joy ttttt Gods handiwork!
Well for starters this tree was a danger to everyone who otherwise would have had to work underneather. The top was broken off and the thing was dead anyway. It might not seem like it, but removing these trees is the responsible thing to do and replace them with sapling that add oxygen to the air. Not only does this help the earth, the animals love it, gives them plenty of food to browse on during the winter. People should think about things before they comment....
@canadiancarguy We had a bunch of cedar taken down on a lot next to us and the deer absolutely loved it. We'd see them out there every morning devouring the newly accessible cedar leaves.
i want to take a course in this but i need to know how much your average worker makes in this and if there's a good demand to open your own company and make money at it if anyone has any info please share
I did not plant any saplings personally, but we have workers that do that. We plant approximately 20 saplings to every tree we cut. Only around 7 or 8 of the saplings make it for reharvesting. Every area is different depends on the growing conditions and how much deer eat and how many trees get thinned out by thinning or just naturally die. It is a common misconception that old growth trees are good for the environment in fact it is the opposite it is the saplings that actually add oxygen to air
Too bad to see a tree like this go, but they all die sooner or later. I like the saw vids that you have. It would like to see you tell some pros/cons/opinions on them, though. Just bought a DCS 6401, plan to put the big bore cylinder in it. I buck 40-60 cords of wood/year for friends, family, and a charity that delivers firewood to impoverished senior citizens. Hope this saw will be up to the task as much as my old 268 xp was.
@proverman The top was broken off on the tree. I have fallen spruce and fir trees before that had 190+ feet of logs in them. The tallest tree I ever fell was probably around 240 feet tall.
How long did it take to cut down? I'm guessing 2 or more hours?

Maybe you people are posting your biased opinions before you read the description and comments. This tree had hardly any value and wasn't worth cutting down; however, it was dead and had a broken top tangled in the school marms and presented a real danger to the workers on the ground. There is the odd old growth tree or pocket of old growth trees that end up in our cut blocks what can you do it happens. This tree was no longer producing oxygen, it was consuming it, more reason to add new sapling

What you've done in this video is a disgrace, now in my life time I am not going to see another old growth tree. I dont wanna go on here, but its not sustainable cutting down old growth red cedars like that, U need to get educated, not me.

And to all those ignorants who rant about treecutting, most of them dont know, that ancient trees use more oxygen than they produce, just to keep themselves alive! While young trees use oxygen to grow, mature trees produces more oxygen than they uses, but when they're very young and very old, that ratio turn. Cutting old and planting new ones are good for nature. :)

May I correct you or correctyou on your statement canadiancarguy Canada has saved 20%of the old growth forests that are LEFT in the country. Canada has remarkably lost just under 80% of it's old growth's historical range, so really if u think about it that's nothing at all hence you cant be the one to criticiseanyone from Europe when Canada has just as bad of an environmental history,Unlike any other continent in the world, Europe's forest percentage is increasing.

I am always open to other people's views. We are not out here to kill the planet, it might not be perfect what we do, but we are much better at renewing this form of natural resource than other industries. Heck we are harvesting for the 3rd time in some spots. That right there proves that Silviculture IS a renewable industry. I think some people should focus their energy on worse things happening on our planet, recycling can be worse for the environment than logging depending on what it is.

If they think this is bad, see what happens when they clear all that old growth forest in Canada to get to the tar sands oil. All of that is totally screwed up, and everyone is oblivous to it because of the way the corporate national media functions.

You are treating these new plantings like U.S. govt treated soc sec. I will give you this though, You did admit to F'ng things up and that is growth. Old growth trees are
crucial to the planets survival. You loggers today seem to think that this planet will recycle itself, maybe it will. But why do we need to go down this road? You are logging for an evil corp. and they dont care about your childrens childrens children. This is all about EVIL Now spell that word evil backward and change course
romnsch13 7 months ago
Wrong again. My anger stems from too much education. As I stated before I am an ARBORIST and former logger. I used to high climb for simpson collecting cones from tops of old growth doug fir for their nursery. You ARE planting more trees than you are harvesting. But heres the rub: Say you plant 200 trees for every 1 old growth felled. That amounts to putting 10 lbs of wood in the ground and removing 50 tons. (Just an example) So do the math. -----Cont.

If you knew more how things work you wouldn't be so pissed.

This has been proven from the time of the dinasaurs to the ice age to present day. Yeah we might be fucking shit up, but at least we are putting back MORE than what we took. More than what others have done

Excellent! That brings back some memories! I could almost smell the cedar dust while you were working on the back cut there! Nice to see you set her down without shattering too, but I think they may have to slab it to get it in, or lifted on a truck. Big snags like that are dangerous alright, I've seen them implode and once I saw guy on the island ride 50' down the mountain side with the stump when it all the ground cut loose for 20' around the tree once it got about 10 degrees over.

This was one tree (that was dead, broken and a danger), that was in the middle of a second growth area that we were harvesting. Where we work there is no real old growth forests. There was a hurricane in 1908 that blew down most of the trees where we harvest. All the other stuff was already harvested once in the 1930 to 1940s. It is silviculture, like a giant farm. We are taking better care of our forests than any other country in the world. All of our endangered animals are coming back.

Well for starters this tree was a danger to everyone who otherwise would have had to work underneather. The top was broken off and the thing was dead anyway. It might not seem like it, but removing these trees is the responsible thing to do and replace them with sapling that add oxygen to the air. Not only does this help the earth, the animals love it, gives them plenty of food to browse on during the winter. People should think about things before they comment....

@canadiancarguy The tree wasn't dead, all old-growth cedars have dead wood in the trunk but Cedars also grow very fast.

I did not plant any saplings personally, but we have workers that do that. We plant approximately 20 saplings to every tree we cut. Only around 7 or 8 of the saplings make it for reharvesting. Every area is different depends on the growing conditions and how much deer eat and how many trees get thinned out by thinning or just naturally die. It is a common misconception that old growth trees are good for the environment in fact it is the opposite it is the saplings that actually add oxygen to air
