He should explain why he had to fell these beautiful trees!

@@user-wk4gu7jg4h They were in his block that was scheduled to be cut.

What does that mean?

All the way to top or close to. Where the blossom would be found on a normal tree

Gezz that is bigger than anything in the Redwoods even Saqoia. On the Portervile Indian reservation i cut a snag that was 22 foot. Close to the size as the General Shirmin. I don't think it is 25 foot.

Actually it is the heat stretching the chain for the most part allowing chips between the nose sprocket and chain. Though I suppose you could say heat is also oil =-) Or he just hasn't opened his oiler and is just going stock. Or closed the oiler for small stuff and forgot(heavens knows I have done that many times)

@@w8stralthe oiler hole in the bar gets plugged , cedar dust mixed with oil is just like glue , you have to take the side cover off to clear it . 👍🇨🇦

That as well, but in my finding and Western Red cedar that has not been a problem, but rather a bigger problem is the bar track loads up with sawdust pushing chain up and further off nose sprocket and when that happens bigger and bigger chips can get in till nose is plugged. Doesn't seem to matter what type of oil be it used engine oil or expensive "new" bar oil. So, long ago, I used used oil I pick up from wherever(have a construction guy who has lots of machines who gives me as much used oil as I could ever use). True can absolutely open the oiler WIDE open DUMPing oil down the bar and that helps, but when you run out of oil before you run out of gas.... ugg @@cameronhamer9432

OR ADD SOME TURPITINE TO THE CHAIN OIL...

I’m curious about those things myself. Did you notice that he was moving them out of the way for his saw? Either that or he didn’t want them damaged. I wonder if they would have a negative impact on the chain.

@@ToddAdams1234 I’m hoping someone chimes in. My guess is they are a safety to prevent the tree from a barber chair situation or they prevent the stem from splitting when landing hard . Can someone confirm the use of the white straps. They are in most of the videos …. Two or even three on the big trees

I presume that is one reason ( to control the barber chair ,especially the deep cat face ones ) also to keep the good marketable wood from splintering up ,due to the impact of the drop and other trees hitting them when dropping. I use ratchet straps in my tree care work for split crotches ,etc.🙂

Probably to help prevent them from shattering when they hit the ground.

if they have a catt face, meaning a crack all the way, they will strap it, or in this case, cedar is so valuable they will strap them to hold them together because cedar is like glass hit hard enough breaks into huge slabs and hurts the money vaule of that tree at the mill hopefully that answers your question.

he doesn't care, he sees money not a living and essential part of a complex ecosystem, he just humpty dumpty casually likes erasing something untouched by humans, that whole region should be national parks but in a few decades some stupid "environmentalists" will try and save at least 1 or 2 % of what's left like with the coastal redwoods and sequoias.. just think about it, those companies he works for fly them in with helis every day and actually fly trees out, piece by piece and still they must make a descent profit from it..

Older than you 😮

150 ish

600 to 750 ish, the growth rings are so small that you can’t see them properly.

10mins 30, 592 Husky.

Its a 592, and for the record a 72 is plenty of saw.

@@Cpk20001just not for the 36” bar that Bjarne likes to run. For those I’d stay with a 32”.

Been at it since 1978. I haven't either. I would even hit the saw shop a couple times a week.
