6 footer tree falling

[Treetiper]

oh if your gonna post here post something smart not smart assed or stupid please

[Treetiper]

you last 1 and the guy below treekiller are obviously not faller's or you wood notice that it is/was a shell of a tree.And dip shit arborist that is what you are you know nothing of big assed tree's or tree s for that matter or you wood have noticed.As for red neck prick that's better than being a dumb as shit arborist that is brain dead.If you knew me you would see at my house a diploma for being an A.M.E. Like i always tell my son's you can fix ugly but there is no fixxing stupid

[romnsch13]

As an educated arborist from humboldt I appose this type of logging. Redneck prick.

[canadiantreekiller]

Let gravity do the werk,ehh tipper

[pbunyon2002]

Still shouldn't have busted the piss out of it.

[Reid107]

That was an almighty crash!

[mbanchero]

Just curious...why fell it if it's no good for lumber? I do big tree take downs too, some times shit's gotta go.

[Treetiper]

the back line was way up the hill from there and it had 2 snags leaning into the backside which i thought were gonna partially gonna go with it.they followed it into the hole shortly there after

[VQ1whales]

Critters need clearings to...

[InfamousStax]

great sound.

[agungpurnomo8]

I may sound sensible but I really hope they plant another one or two for every single tree they hack down! Apart from environmental issues, i just love seeing big trees! They fit the hills and mountains beautifully! Not to mention that they also play an essential role in water preservation and oxygen renewal! But it is just me hoping and obviously the world still need timber to built houses and buildings so responsible deforestation is also essential for our lives.

[flecur08]

@agungpurnomo8 When loggers cut down trees, there are two methods. one called selcetive cutting where they cut down older trees and leave the younger ones so they can prosper actually making the trees more productive or the clear cut and then plant new trees in the place of ones cut. They just dont hack them down, or in some places they don't.

[agungpurnomo8]

unfortunately in my country Indonesia and i believe some other developing countries as well where environmental issues are not seen as strategic ones and due to the extensive lack of supervisions, they just chop the forest down, leaving massive severe scars dotted everywhere around the forests. These scars are visible to satellite and getting worse as i check them via google earth. So sad they don't rejuvenate the forests after harvesting their timbers. Thanks anyway for the infos!

[104bigTruck]

In the Wa state 8 trees are planted for every one cut. Younger trees give off more oxygen over older dying trees.

[transdrole]

worthless tree

[6327isc]

I've seen a lot of videos of cedars being cut, and they all fall with the cores ripping like that - is it just the wood of the cedar, or are most cedars that rotten? I don't know personally, because we have never cut cedars out here. (mainly just spruce and hemlock)

[duncanite]

haha right on dude, toothpicks anyone, sometime ya just gotta throw it in the hole. whats with all these damn hippies commenting on our vids. do they purposly look up logging vids to bitch. get it through your heads ya sap suckers, you cant live without killing trees.

[SolarBlade52]

10 years ago, There was an OLD tree in my backyard. It was already dead. So we had to cut it down. You see, tree-huggers, sometimes trees HAVE to be cut down because they are either old, dead, or can't get enough carbon dioxide to produce oxygen.

[NirradGann]

treemaninOregon the point that allot of you guys miss is that what the tree huggers true agenda is,isn't forest conservation,but human population reduction to the point that NO resources are used.They want a worldwide population of a few hundred million max.They don't want you to stop cutting trees,they want you to stop being!

[BananaBean03]

a whoa whoa wee whoa

[treemaninOregon]

Yes indeed. Lots of rot-which is real common in older timber. The real crux of the debate between cut or no cut is: If we don't cut trees what do we build things with? Concrete? Plastic? Steel? Aluminum? All of these materials are many times more environmentally destructive than wood, use massive amounts of energy to produce, and are not renewable in any human time frame. I'll admire those who worry about cutting trees if they live in a tiny house, use grass for toilet paper, etc.

[buddywill50]

Too bad he didn't cut it a little cleaner and maybe it wouldn't have split and screwed up the butt.

[Treetiper]

it was rotten nuff said

[inopian]

tell these fucking tree huggin hippy dirtballs to shut the fuck up. you love wood to much faggots

[uintaj]

I have a degree in Botany (plants) and despite what some people here say, old growth trees DO benefit the environment. Since when has man ever improved upon what happens naturally? Old growth forests add immeasurably to overall environment health. Each generation of clear-cutting depletes a bit more from the heath of the soil due to erosion, lack of diverse regrowth, etc. Check out the "color" of some of the NW rivers after some of the winter rains. Nice clear-cut brown.

[nchayfarmer]

See you dont get it do ya what do you think holds the dirt to the land its the roots and stumps by the time they rot theres already more trees growing that little story is so played out

[lionreza31]

best job ever

[Madhatte1973]

It's always the same argument: salvage vs. habitat.

Look: it's not 1985 any more. A tree that is both over-mature and under stress is a hazard -- not just to feeble humans, but to Mighty Ecology. It shades understory and prevents reprod, and smashes its own progeny when it falls naturally a few years later. Sure, you might raise a few generations of woodpeckers in the meantime, but at what cost?  Reduced natural canopy gaps, and slow regen.

Drop 'em.

BTW: I'm a Forest Ecologist.

[MetalManiac666X]

then u jus hear the guy Yell "FUCK"

that was funny LOL

[Treetiper]

that was the work bucked listen close.

best thing to power buck is a tree that weighs 50000 lbs

[NIdahoForester]

Treetiper - Nice video, great cut. All that rot and the shell didnt even come apart. Well done.

[NIdahoForester]

transdrole - You raise some valid points, so I will play safe and assume that either you used how to use your google machine or that you have actually studied one or more of the realms of forestry (ideally at the collegiate or university level). However, do not over estimate the carbo uptake of these relic trees as "vast" just to prove a point. This is just not the case. These rotten Relic trees are better on the ground so they can be burned in order to release nitrogen for your "future Trees"

[transdrole]

Overtenemy - mature trees DO clean the air; in vast amounts. Mature trees store carbon; keeping more out of the atmosphere. Old trees die and rot, providing habitat for a myriad of life forms and adding organic matter to the topsoil which in turn allows future trees to prosper. Forest ecology is so WAY over your head that I feel like I'm addressing a child. Same goes to you netjem. I have respect for logging professionals but NOT those who cut down our temperate rain forests.

[netjem]

Hey, Tree huggers..... Do you have any furniture in your house? Do you have a bed that you sleep on? Do you have a house? an apartment? Floors?

Guess what? They're all made from wood. Where do you think this wood comes from?

I'll tell you where.

From guys like this, who bust their ass so you can wipe yours.

[overtenemy69]

tree huggers dont realize/

once a tree has matured it doesnt reproduce or clean the air so its useless theyre just looking for a way to bitch becayse theyre loosers

[huggatree]

very true overtenemy69,, at a certain point the tree starts to get "heart rot" and slowly starts to die.

[irishmanO1]

awesome nice job

[churd243]

wow you burst that fucker alrightlol

[Willoy09]

Why the fuck do tree huggers comment on a video about felling a tree. Just shut the fuck and leave loggers and Arborist, such as my slef, the fuck alone

[huggatree]

@Willoy09 I agree... i'm an environmental tech+trained in tree felling the whole works Willoy.. and 99% of the general public do not understand silviculture in the slightest.

A primo ex: The fires that were out of control on the west coast a few years back,,.. everyone was in a tiff wit their panties in a knot for the fires to be put out... So the fires were eventually put out. NOW there pine beetle is ruining WAYYY more than the fires ever would have if they were left to burn. Succession...

[jaguares07]

mercy for them

[chainsawman34]

Nice work some of the comments here are just a sign of true ignorance pll should comment on what they know not just wing it like there a pro I have cut timber for 22 years and that was nice work

[safarimulishaute]

might wana try cutting the center of the tree in the middle of the scarf to stop that

[smigletat]

NICE STUMP PULL!

[Treetipper]

ummm look at how hollow it was,not stump pull fragmented rot pulling FYI

[enfiled303]

fuk that was quick

[640DEERE]

KICK ASS

[minilst5]

Don't be a hippy

[heartfilms]

Hey sorry to hear you tore your acl , I know a lot of people who tore that one including my wife snowboarding , takes a while to heal. Have you had surgery yet ? Checked out The Ax men web site doesn't seem like we can get it hear in Can. Falling sure is less regulated in the States. Fell around Whistler for 5 years 3 back east before that , know any one on the coast looking for guys . I want more experience in different terrain. Get that knee strong.

[heartfilms]

Nice job to bad she was all rot. atleast it went over easy. Are you still working and and if so need any more certified guys. Do you now how to down load Death in the forest that show on global?

[Treetipper]

blown out acl slab slapped me so not working.and no i don't know how to Dl the show on global current but probably know where you could buy it.also on history channel there is a show called"The Axmen" all about logging i hear have not watched it yet

[videoaccess001]

I do respect the hard work and well trained techniques used in felling trees, but the corporations are taking advantage of the environment and peoples greed. Blahblahblah...well its true.

[Treetipper]

i totally agree with you there.they are culls that do take advantage.wood prefer to see woodlots

[kimvandenplas]

Log it or lose it!

[660magnum]

nice shot

[kiraemanuel]

well done

[matissoverygay]

wow 3-4 foot.

its a bit different on the west coast

[ginkos23]

400 Years to replace this one ... :(

[kilo6490]

Depends on what kind, only if its a redwood. Pine and Fir dont take near that long hippie.

[salemcripple]

Although i'm not a hippie, and i realy do hate most of them. I do agree with thier point that mankind needs to change in order to survive. Stop fucking up our enviroment so much, and start living cleaner (renewable fuels, recycleing, ect.)

[kilo6490]

And even if that was a redwood, being only 6 ft diameter, I highly doubt its 400 years old.

[BROWNIE122]

haha is sweet to see them role down the hill my uncle goes to the west coast to fall sometiems and he said its cool to watch it role but not cool when you gotta go back down the hill to it to buck it up lol

[Fredrickbobcat]

When a tree this big falls does the top get ruined on impact??

[Treetiper]

depends on the ground and the way it leans this one was rotten didn't matter where u fell it,it was going to come apart

[gangesex]

I was reading the winter issue of Truck Logger and they had a few market analysts in there talking about the future of BC coastal forestry and it scares me when in a panel of 5 guys writing 5 different columns in the industry-supported magazine they are all scared about what lies ahead and how it is not a viable industry to invest in the forseeable future. Thats scary, especially in TLA's Truck Logger which always is an optimist industry magazine. Scary shit man.

[Treetipper]

watch global right now

[Treetipper]

global bc the show is currents all about fallers

[gangesex]

I wish I could but I hack sattelite signals and they rolled the codes tonight and so Im shit-out-of-luck. Private message me

[gangesex]

The coastal BC forest industry in in a fuck of a mess and we can thank Bill 13 and the US Dollar for that. Oh yeah and those fuckin Steelworkers. Nice job striking guys, left the workforce at home for months and what did you get? NOTHING. Now contractors like Mike Adama and Ted Leroy are going bankrupt left and right I heard Courtnall's Munns Lumber is next on the block

[gangesex]

falling scares the shit out of me. too many variables too little time to react, too big of consequences. I own a excavating firm down in the Gulf Islands and I always admire you guys. I used to build grade up coast for an independent road contractor subbing to Interfor, but after the shutdowns from heat, snow, rain, strikes, cut quota, etc etc I said fuck it and walked.

[mainetrucker]

Until I got my CDL, thats what I did over here on the east coast. At the age of 16-17. I have fallen stuff 3-4 feet in diameter. I love the danger involved. I think its the best part. I am in a tech program for it until college. THen I go for road biulding, as you know already, gangesex.

[gangesex]

and I am not calling Tree Tiper an idiot for one second. i directed my comment towards that Gregzstar fool.

[Treetipper]

thanks heh i got a slab in the leg knee is blown out sitting at home doing the wbc BS.slab was under the snow could not see the end of it bucked a blow down it fell away hit the end of the slab and wham!!

[gangesex]

lucky your still walking. Knee injuries are extremely painful. I hope you work for a good falling contractor and not pushy-pushy guys like the Leroys where Quality and Safety are job 3

[Gunu70]

Nice tree to bad it was a pulper maybe they will get the second growth before it rots on the stump..

[MinutemanICBM]

Interesting how a section of the core is not breaking and keeps standing upright. I've heard of stories where the remainder of the core jolted backwards, killing the man who did not walked away in time.

[seanron287]

gregzstar is an idiot!!!

[Treetiper]

big as i could get it if i could post pix i have them of the front side.had to bore in with my saw pound a wedge in.cut a hemlock sapling put it behind the wedge and the ground and rwach as far as i could.was sitting on my bar when i cut the undercut which means rotten!

[GreenGonks]

Anyways that's fertilizer, that ain't going to fly!

[GreenGonks]

Shallow undercut?

[TAYC34]

Send it to the paper mill!

[oldbearswitch]

Gregstar,without being there and talking to the bullbucker, sawyer, or resource ecologist, you have no way of knowing about tht tree or its stand.  dead, decaying, diseased etc. So long as enough decaying and dead stuff is left for habitat, let the harvest continue. Knee-jerk yahoo comments like that make you look like Rush Limb-BAAAAGH tree hugger. Not a steward of all things wild.

[aaronkelley]

Hell YA!

[blackbear010]

well done matey, ya lost about 10 cube of prime timber, wi not stayin wi the tree an runnin awa at the prime time o cutin , whos ya tutor

[Treetiper]

not 10 cubes you can't see the 30 foot gully in fron of the tree or the 2 snags behind it that were almost hung up in it.all you see is the stump being made have a closer look at how rotten the tree is as it goes over it had 1 good slab in it.next time i'll make movie pics of saved out tree's that i do i guess that are not rotten junk

[gregzstar]

o2!

[gregzstar]

so what, theres no need to cut down your h2o! other wise you wont be able to breath!!!!!

[gangesex]

you my friend, are an idiot. At least get your chemical symbols correct before letting your emotions control the "POST COMMENT" button. As for TreeTiper, keep it safe out there pal, Ted "turbo" Gramlich would tell you the same

[gregzstar]

u fat shits i hate u! u just cut down nature u ass wholes!!!!!!!!!!!

[Treetiper]

you little punk what do you wipe yer arse with your bare hand i doubt it!!!!

[sabu85]

I bet the furniture of your house is made up of wood. Someone has to do this job.

[ticul2006]

good job

[goatmen]

Nice vid! Be safe! WT
