7,000ft up in the Sierra National Forest, just south of Yosemite Wilderness..These guys are the real deal they live completely off grid in tent camps for months at a time, totally detached from literally anything.This particular crew would travel home once every few weekends during the cutting season..Nothing but big steep grades, massive granite monoliths and endless forest up there. Pretty crazy watching 200ft trees hit the ground. The biggest tree to be cut in this video would be the massive 200+ft Jefferson pine at the end of the video.
Can't believe I've never seen this?? Honestly had my doubts at the beginning but imo a very good video!! Thanks for putting it up and hats off to the Sawyer he's definitely earning his money.
I don't say it too much from the start to end this guy's good safe been doing a 25 years try to learn something every time out I definitely like what I see awesome work tree man
This guy looks like he is falling sick or dying trees for fire prevention (maybe a wildland firefighter himself). He sure knows what he is doing. It is the most dangerous job in the US and Canada for a reason.
I grow forest trees and I love watching logging vids. Old growth trees are like gems though - rare and beautiful. Sad to see that old pine come down. Kind of like going into a church and wrecking the place
I can always tell a pro by the way they move, to the untrained eye it actually looks slow but every move is calculated and precise and three minutes later a real big tree is on the ground.
