  • u're so brave!

    WOOW...

  • u're so brave!

    WOOW...

  • u're so fkn brave!

    WOOW...

  • What no chaps!

  • There actually ruining the earth..

    

  • Skill - Starting a chainsaw, holding it and chopping. Easy for fucking morons to do really. IQ of about 1.

  • @HSDDTS I bet you wouldn't last a day hanging on to one and chopping. It is a skill, it has been passed down to me by my father as it was to him by his father. What is the frame of your house made of, wood? and what about cupboards, bed frame, good chance they are all wood. It is not made in a factory somewhere. It really does grow on trees, take this knowledge and tell all your conservationist friends. I bet the tax I pay each week goes towards your unemployment benefits.

  • 100 year old ones are just as dangerous. Did some gypsy logging for a few months a couple years back.. Who needs hang gliding for adrenaline. Only reason the logging stopped, was the drop in price at the mills, then the mills closing.. Still at least nine trucks that could go out. on the place. Small scale, but the risks are the same. If you aren't aware of everything going on around you...

  • Really great video.

    If you need some help i'll came from germany with my 880

  • Great video!

  • Thumbs up to these guys. They are the few that actually keep aware of their surroundings, escape paths, and most importantly listen for fracturing. Most of the clowns you see in these types of video's think their hero's and are too cocky and careless. Over confidence that's how people get mamed or killed.

  • @JAG03064 true that.

    these are professionnals showing how this job has to be done, nothing else to say.

    Great vid btw, i can barely smell the fresh wood and the chainsaw from here ;)

    Greetings from a french logger.

  • Theres nothing you cant do with a 660. Best sthil ever!

  • i wouldn't be pround of killing that huge tree -.-

  • i do that for fun lol. firewood for my cottage

    thats how i built my cottage

  • Hehe, the Husky saws are their spare saws.

  • does sombody plant new trees when they chop so many down or is this not necessary due to the sheer size of canada. do they just naturally spread and self grow

  • been logging my whole life... it's only dangerous if your not paying attention and know what's going on

  • How would i get hold of a copy of this DVD?

  • @Logger880 amazon

    d

    

  • Great filming you guys.

  • I love and plant thousands of trees, but it is obvious by the top growth on this tree that it needed to be harvested. We do not want to let it rot in the woods. Now 10 trees will grow in the old canopy of that tree. Very cool and awesome video.  This guyd are so awesome.

  • Heres a short video clip of my 90 year old dad toping walnut trees you might find interesting . If you type the "worlds oldest tree surgeon" into youtube search you can view it. He's been in the business since 1940 and just won't give it up

  • theres always a reason why they cut trees. and yes they do it for the money but someone needs to cut down trees so we can build houses, buildings etc. because if we cant build buildings we will have a hard time making food, clothes etc. and if u guys can finds something to say that goes against what i said then good.

    p.s this comment is not to go against u guys that love trees personaly i love trees.

  • GER, this just makes me angry, always cutting down the biggest trees for the profit.

    It is a fact that 95% of the old growth forests in the US have been cut down, now they are going for the last off the big trees.

    In 50 years you will need to some special reserve 100 miles away from your house just to see a tree over 6 feet in diameter.

    why don't they cut down the smaller 2 feet diameter trees that seem to be in the background of every camera shot and leave the big ones.

  • @skyflyer900 you dam tree hugger.. its all about money.. hahah get a life hippie

  • @skyflyer900

    actually you're wrong. mother nature destroyed most of the old growth long before a chainsaw was even thought of.

    and how do youknow that is old growth forest?

    you don't, so stop pulling hair out of your ass and get educated.

  • @logger089 you retard. do you think that tree was planted 2 weeks ago? you need to "get educated".

  • @kenfo0 HAHAHAHAHAHA! Thanks for the laugh Sally!

  • @logger089 Only a retard would laugh at being called a retard. You are welcome. As stupid, arrogant and friendless as you are, I am glad to have brought you some measure of joy, nancy. "You're a lumberjack and you're ok, you sleep all night and you work all day. You cut down trees, you skip and jump, you like to press wild flowers. You put on women's clothing, and hang around in bars....".

  • @kenfo0 Hey ken... grow up and shut up lol.

  • @ceamer only a sissy queer boy says something like that then laughs. who asked you nancy?

  • @skyflyer900 well good points but it depends on what the buyers want like some buyers like the 5 footers some like 3 footers some like 12 footers they really don't choose and they get to pick on a map what areas to log and what makes most profit cause some time if they dont make enough money the company gets shut down

  • what a waste

  • i am a tree hugger

  • @witecracker2 good for you.... you aren't the one out in the bush risking you life everyday when you could get killed and make wife or girlfriend have no boyfriend or husband and kids with no dad and parents with no son just to satisfy people like yourself with your needs for toilet paper, paper ,house, furniture and toys so your pretty happy that you don't have to get your hands dirty and get alittle banged and bruised up

  • @Nate1471 tree farming.... switch solely to tree farming...

  • Comment removed

  • That was a 500yr old tree

  • im from england an i wish that i cud do somthin like tht id love to learn about it an try it u guys do an amazing job Keep up the good work lads! :D

  • @icemanz9 well if you want to learn id say move to canada specifically british columbia or washiton or oregon in the us but i think you'd like canada and well even if you don't try it somewhere or try it someday i would do it myself but im sorta back in forth on what i want to do in life

  • Im from Poland but i love watch this kind job. Very nice video , bravo for u guys

  • I agree with oldschoolgonzo there is a great deal of misunderstanding on logging. I am married to a 5th gen. logger and the granddaughter of a 3rd gen. logger. It is controlled and a good thing. Imagine what a forest fire would do without it. Logging is a way of life. It is a hard life, not knowing if you will see the love of your life at the end of each day, the pay sucks, the benefits suck, and job security sucks. But we take pride in what we are. It's not a job, it's our lives.

  • thank you to you all for what you do

    marc in nyc

  • Thank you, Marc. your post brought tears to my eyes because it is VERY rare that we get a thank you.

  • Just reading over some of these comments its pretty sad and poor on most peoples comments that there is little understanding/knowledge in regards to forestry or resource economics. This is controlled, well managed forestry-its a good thing and very economically-do not confuse it with mass forestation and depletion of resources.

  • it is not, nor, never has been "well managed" in the Pacific north west. just fly above it, and around, and see for yourself. just gota look down, and at the docks. trees overseas...watersheds to hell...or gone! i own acreage (forestry) in the mts. and have been climbing and exploring the n.w. for about 40 years now..and, i love history. all-ways counting rings everywhere i go.

  • No hard feelings toward these workers, but what an unbelievable shame that we're destroying the last of the earth's virgin forest that will never be replaced.

  • relax. life is a cycle. theyll grow back.

  • Comment removed

  • have a look around you .. ur surrounded by timber products made available by these hard workers who take the risks. people in glass houses (or timber ones) shouldnt throw stones go watch a meatworks video instead

  • That's ridiculous. Those trees are so large, they must have taken at least 100 years to grow. How could they replant them effectively?

  • looks like a western red cedar, and depending upon the elevation, well over 600 yrs. guessing about 1,000yrs. if at about 2,000ftmsl. gota remember, it took many 100,s of years for conditions to be good enough for it to grow there.

    have counted rings on cedars at 4,oooft that were less than a meter dia. and over 1,600yrs old. went to japan to be sunk and ruined.

    deforestation in one of major causes of excess co2. and now ruined large native salmon runs.

  • Well, that's why I said AT LEAST 100 years. But my question still stands - How do they replant them efficiently?

  • @MrHaggishunt56 100 years? keep going chief.....

  • there goes our nature

  • @bykashka75  yeah i guess but here come your electric pole , ass paper books, your house, your computer desk and everything else you made from wood.:)

  • and that makes me sad.

  • well thats the way it is .maybe you can work to invent something to change all that . About that !!!

  • how long do the saws last if they do this everyday? when is it time for some new rings?

  • a guy keeps at least two saws, gets one new one each year and sells off the oldest, and keeps the second oldest for a back up.

  • But there isn't any 'virgin forest' besides the parks, is there?

  • Hayes Logging went under a little while ago didn't it?

  • I am pleased I managed to spend some time filming their operations before that happened. Just imagine if some-one had been around to film the last steam loggers, horse loggers, the log rollers. If you are interested in logging it should be worth investing $20 in obtaining a copy of the DVD. It has some great material on it. What is shown here on youtube is only a tiny fraction of the whole thing

  • @dylanwinter1 come to slovakia, we use horses

  • @dylanwinter1 come to slovakia, we use horses

  • @SKtatrantroll how many in each team

    fours?

    

  • @KeepTurningLeft On team of 12 it can be 3. But it can be more or less, there is no written rule to how big should be the team and how many horses they should have. Some teams have also tractor. Horses are used to pull loggs from rapid terrain in hills. I dont know what else to say...

  • how do they have there saws set up, what size bar and chain are they running?

  • how many trees that size does the sawman cut in a day?

  • 8:00 -- wow, that guy is tough. I don't I would ever characterize a "38-stiches in my leg" as a minor bump or bruise!

  • Thats cause you have a vagina

  • I am tree surgeon that sometimes takes down large trees in downtown Washington DC

    adrenaline,

    just did one over a busy freeway ramp during rush hour

  • hell ya,earth first,we'll log the rest of the planets later!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Respect !!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Can anyone tell me how you go about getting a job like this in british columbia??? I'm very interested.

  • Just out of school? Behave lol these guys are a bit more advanced than me... so is that why they are loggers and not tree surgeons?

    I was actually replying to plpra79 comment as he said 'like to see them bring down a 50 foot rowan tree between two blocks of council flats' So I said why not climb it instead, makes it so much safer, no chance of hitting anyone or anythin, plus if they wanted someone to bosh it down like that, they would ask local Bob down the pub, not a professional tree surgeon

  • I read your profile,20 yrs old and a student.

  • I was an Arboriculture student a few years ago, I am now 21, and yes I am a tree surgeon. Why are you so touchy? Tree surgery isnt for everyone obviously,

  • being an agriculture student is not a tree surgeon

  • im a tree surgeon in england just applyed for a job in the states for this work, i think it will be a challenge thats what i like if any one already dose this in the states let me know as i could do with some advice thanx

  • Well im a tree surgeon and thats what I do, im still alive?

  • Your a greenhorn,just out of school.Lets see you post a vid topping out a tree this size.These guys are a bit more advanced than you.

  • Well done? Why didnt you climb it and take it down that way

  • cos thats suicide

  • Like to see them bring down a fifty foot rowan tree between two blocks of council flats!. I did.

  • Great work fellers stay safe

  • great video full respect to the fellers ,stunning trees,the biggest i have ever had the privilege to fell was just under 2m, only sticks compared to the fine western red cedars you have keep up the great work be safe

  • this guy sounds like red or green, from red green show.

  • Why do you cut such beautiful and old trees?

  • to make beautiful lumber to build beautiful houses

  • That's why the houses of You americans are blown away every year by water, mud and tornadoes :-P

  • For the high grade lumber for furniture.

    Houses are made of douglas fir mainly which grow very fast but the oaks, maples, walnuts etc are for lumber/veneer.

  • wat size saws are those

  • He is cutting through rather fast. Shiiiit, I use a 40.6cc 18" saw and keep the chqin sharpened and lubed and it cuts good but not as good as this, eh.

  • Either an 066/ms660 or 088/ms880 stihl saws. Chances are they are 88's.

  • they are 066/660

  • Not a job you want to go to with a Force 9 hangover. I logged for years in Alberta and have always admired what those guys out on the coast had to do to make a living.

  • I am an arborist in New Zealand and Ive felled  a few Macrocarpra trees that are not as tall as cedars but have larger stems. They are growing near amenities,houses etc and when they get over-mature they rot, breakup and die standing. All trees will die,but if felled and logged before deteriorating can have a secound life as a house etc lol

  • today i cut down a tree that was 33 years old with a hand saw

  • Comment removed

  • Depends on the tree, but most naturally growing trees aren't overly impressive at 30 years. If its a maple it'll have a pretty thin trunk with a bunch of overhead foliage. Really not too hard to cut if you know what you're doing.

    That said, its kind of stupid to brag about something like this.

  • Nice Cypress tree.

    I know where there's one standing that's 9 feet in diameter.

    It's in a sub-alpine area and it's shaped like a rocket ship.

  • how old do you think that tree is?

  • That Western Red Cedar would be approximately 500 years old.

  • they are very good at what they do i do this kind of work also with smaller tress in timmins ontario but why arent they wearing chaps ?

  • I think they are wearing full ballistic trousers, that's what I used to wear a a tree surgeon.

  • they're wearing saw-pants, same type of protection. just in pants form

  • saw pants are made of Kevlar mofo

  • your point ? i was replying to the guy wondering why they aren't wearing chaps.

  • Yes, bu anyway, hey are made with Kevlar.

    Hugs

    xoxo

  • man i live in a district just outside of vancouver, and this is what i wanna do for my job!

  • nice berry

  • Great job Sean!

  • awesome video

  • thats what i want to be when i grow up!

  • Nice work. This man is real pro at his work.

  • damn, those trees r big! :O

  • are they called fallers or fellers

  • both, just depends where you are, most people in the US call the "fallers" or just "cutters"

  • ah okay, just that im used to hearing 'fellers'. thankyou

  • heheheh husqvarna is a spare saw hahah STIHL ROX

  • for earth week I cut down 20 trees and I loved every cut these guys are my heroes.

  • perfect! 5* you're heroes :-)

    But in our country is one byword which says :

    If you cut one tree, you should replant two.

    thanks.

  • I'd love that job; working in the mountains all day and all that. I don't know if I could take all the possibilities of injuries.

  • go out to the mountains to ruin nature there?

  • they cut and replant

  • you know how much the ruin nature? what are they doing? cutting down this huge tree and put a nut back in the ground?

    i am against logging.. ppl dont use the wood good anyway

  • then you must life under a rock then huh

    or maybe a cave

    if you lived in a house then you would be a hypacrit

  • i am not even allowed to live outside man.. cops wil get me if i do, i am not even allowed to go in nature here in the night.. and if your gonne life in a tipi youll get busted aswell, just like the americans do with natives..

    ppl just force you to life on thier way, against nature, but nature will get us;)

  • well...here in america you can buy some land and live on that land

    sucks for ur government

  • yeah they still got land left of what the stole from the indians

  • blame the british lol

  • aah thats smart, be a britis ashole and steal country and then say your an american so you didnt do it.. fuck allstohe motherfuckers at the other side of the sea except for the natives!

  • lol im british but i love america and logging and felling i wish we had more of that in this country but am only 12 so when im onlder im gonna come to america and be a logger or a trucker or a crab fisherman in alska..... wish me luck lolz

  • heck start now better start young so youll no what ur doin when you get older if anything just cut firewood i stress one big thing though be careful

  • that was for whiptwins

  • i agree

  • These guys are Canucks - Canadians.  Hayes is based out of Duncan - Vancouver Island - British Columbia.

  • Old trees give off more CO2 than they take up. SO.. You urban nature types should promote more logging of old growth. And then replanting with new seedlings that suck up much more CO2.IF you believe in global warming. I DON'T. If not then you are hypocrites.

  • I'm with you, I hate hippies.

  • TREES ARE THE LUNGS OF OUR MOTHER THE EARTH!!! ALL LOGGERS MUST DIE!! REVENGE OF THE TREES!!..... yeah right. Give me a feakin' break.

  • Nice work. This man is real pro at his work.

  • if i would do this work i certainly will wear boots.

  • These new planted 2nd and 3rd growth trees are fats growing, but poor quality lumber. They may grow fast initially, but eventually will slow down. It takes hundreds of years for tree to reach 300 feet--and we know that the Redwood can grow to 400 feet high, and 2,200 years old--Something not achievable 2 or 3 generations from now.

  • The more advanced our technology becomes the faster we deplete our RESOURCES that take hundreds of years to replace if ever.

  • The more we advance our technology, the more ways we find to reuse and replenish our resources. In redwood forests, trees that are replanted to replace the old growth cut down takes only sixty years to grow to sizes that use to take hundreds of years. This due to advancements in biological engineering.

  • Researchers in the seventies forecasted that most of the globe's metallic resources would be depleted by the 90's. It didn't happen. Why? Because of increased reuse and recycling. With the advent of technologies to efficiently recycle e-waste, our capacity to scavange for discarded resources is huge.

  • the only reason that the supply of ore from the earth has not run out yet is yes due to the recycle of steel its self but in doing so gives off more emishions to melt it down process it and then on top of that they need to ship it whear as logging you use a chain saw equipment and its over you replant and in a few years you never know anyone was there

    other than the smaller trees

  • It must suck living such a fearful and angry life. Drink a beer or something.

  • copy and past # Mt. St. Helens' Blast Zone - 26 years later # into You Tube search and ask your G about those lush and green mountain tops.

    Should mother earth be punished for having raped and destroyed herself?

    Finally, G never left earth and doesn't mind a tree here and there for human needs before the sun goes super nova.

  • I'm a tree feller from england, and i was wondering why the felling sink/gob was different from the ones we use, which are up the other way? It all seemed like alot of work on the firstt cut because you cannot see what you are doing,it must be exausting groveling around on the floor all day! it must be dryer than english forests!

  • That's a lot of IKEA furniture that'll end up in a landfill in 5 years. Slash and burn baby, slash and burn.

  • horibble. No respect.

  • you could take a look at

    Logging Canadians have their say

  • good vid ,thanks lads...

  • Notice the pro's in any industry concentrate on 'safety' over all other considerations. People hurt is lost productivity besides the human aspects of tragedy.

  • Great video !

    I love to cut down trees too.

    But all you people out there complaining about Fallers (Loggers), you need them more then you think, and people that protest about Fallers heres an idea, don't use toilet paper or writing paper or any type of product that uses tress. then you can complain you bunch of Hypocrites. So fallers keep up the good work and keep em' Falling down! :D

  • why do you like to cut down trees? nature hater.

  • I climb trees and have 4 removals lined up for monday muhahhahaha the trees gotta die,I wish those idiots would have kept thier mouths shut so we could still cut the redwoods.I'll climb the regardless.

  • trees give us oxygen. shade. life. housing for animals. but im not some hippie about them. i wont stop you if you try to cut them down. but i do think we need to slow down the rate at which we cut them down.

  • I also promot planting small shrubs and small trees in metropolitian areas so they have a chance to provide those benifits and not suffer heavy trimming and eventual removal btw if you can't prune or trim a tree right at the branch collar you don't need to be trimming trees.I will still climb the redwoods.

  • well do you like big trees? i like small trees too. the city tore down all the trees on one street but whats nice is they planted about 5 times as much. but still a full grown tree is what houses the animals and collects the most carbon dioxide.

  • Sure I like big trees the bigger they are the harder they fall.I have a 100' cherry tree I gotta takedown too.

  • so why do you like cutting down trees? i like them because they look nice. Modern people cut them down because they "block the view". but if i could make 1000 dollars off timber id be glad to cut one down.

  • It's something that I've always liked to do but i am not a logger i'm an arborist.i do more than removals I also do tree surgery just in my area most people call and they either want it removed or trim it once come back in a few months and cut the sucker down.The huge oaks around here get really rotten and nasty and I remove a lot of them.

  • its not always about the money if you own a pice of property a large one you will learn if you dont take out the bad trees you will loose more beacuse of bugs dieses or even fire

    im a salvage logger and those are the trees that i look for when i go to work

  • just wonder if any you ever tried wiping yer ass with plastic? or how about living in a styrofoam box. dont knock loggers u rely on us more then u like to admit

  • Most loggers I know don't care about the forest. They only care about the money. Trust me I live in logging town and I see it every day.

  • the key word there is most - rather than all

  • I couldnt agree more, and I doubt it is most but perhaps more than likely a select few bad apples, which you find in every industry out there. Furthermore most loggers spend their days cutting timber marked by foresters and have a greater appreciation for the forest and its inhabitants than most peple give them credit for.

  • you only know the stupid ones that dont take responsability for there craft they dont have the mind set to know if they work at it that way there wont be anything around for the next cut

  • Obviously you don't know loggers very well! I have lived and worked in the timber industry all of my life, and all the loggers that I know,(thousands), love the forest, we hunt, fish, camp, and hike them, that is why we choose to work in the forest, AND TAKE CARE OF IT!

  • you don't know what your talking about. They don't have to cut down virgin forest to make those products. It's just studpid. I know way more about this issue than you logger. You guys will never learn till it's to late. And you still won't care when it is to late because all you care about is money.

  • Last time I checked my paycheck wasnty big enough to justify being in the logging and forestry business strictly for the money. And while I dont know if they are falling virgin timber in this video, most wood harvested in the states is second and third generation timber. Furthermore not every logger out there has a 'wreck it all mentality' and your preconcieved notion is total BS. Furthermore timber value allows a landowner to keep property as timberland rather than strip malls and Walmarts!!
