How Anyone Can Quickly Spot a Fake Logger

Published 2024-03-09
How to know if someone is a real logger or a fake. If you saw someone cutting a tree down, how could you know if they were really a logger? I will tell you a couple ways. We will also get to watch a tree fall down. I cut down a couple trees and do a little logging with my tractor. The tractor is a Massey Ferguson MF 30 MF 34 with a Farmi tractor winch. These Douglas fir logs will go on my Woodmizer LT 15 sawmill to be cut into lumber.  the chainsaw I am using is a Stihl MS 462 with 32 inch bar. Do loggers really yell timber when they cut a tree down? Is a logger the same as a lumberjack? We will answer these questions too.

If anyone wants to get upset about this video. You are taking it too seriously. We are just trying to have a little fun here.

  • Looks like this is another video where I need to make a clarification. The whole premise of real logger versus fake logger is a silly one to begin with. The purpose of this video was just to have a little fun, not to be taken too seriously.
  • @evilmac9623
    You can usually tell the real loggers when they get out of the truck, and they look hungover but they haven't had a drink in 5 days...
  • The number of camera changes while you were harvesting the logs. Was amazing. I can appreciate how many setups had to be done to get just the shot you wanted. Plus all the editing that goes in to making it interesting. You have more skills than I think you realize partner. And it's greatly appreciated.
  • @VicsYard
    I say timber every time in my head like a little kid. lol
  • @johnfahey7215
    I am sometimes asked to log a tree only because I own a couple chainsaws. I always tell them NO unless the tree is a hundred yards from ANYTHING 😂 Thanks for informative and sometimes amusing content! I appreciate it!
  • Ya know what would be kinda cool? For us firewood guys and amateurs? If you showed the basics of chokers, how they work and give some details about skidding tricks and tips. Now, these things would seem obvious to you, but would be essential to us ! Thanks! God bless!
  • @yonmusak
    Nice trick with the cable to divert the log away from it's in line neighour!
  • @birddogfarms6981
    You made me curious so I looked it up. According to "Gaggle", Lumberjack was a Canadian term, just as you suggested, although it was coined in 1830"s. Red and Black 'buffalo check' flannel was adopted in the 1850's so as to stand out in the forest and also so as not to be mistaken for a bear or deer by would-be hunters. My grandfather was a logger in Michigan. He wouldn't yell 'Tim-ber' either, but instead he would yell "get the eff out of the way, jack-ass!" Another good video, Wilson.....enjoyed it. Tom
  • when I was a climber for a tree service we yelled "HEADACHE" B4 dropping a limb.
  • @TheSeastar19
    If you see someone cutting a tree down and they yell out up the hill but the tree ends up going down the hill this is a good indication that they are not a real logger or if they are, they are at least not good at their job. LOL
  • @digger0429
    Liked the way you got one log out of the way with cable thank you for your time
  • @fadetounforgiven
    Well, I think that trick, or whatever you may want to call it, with the cable was the main thing to learn this time. Nice one.
  • @Wheelloader__
    I worked in the logging and sawmill industry for 40+ years. Gotta admit I’ve yelled timber a few times when I was a wee lad. Cool video Wilson. Watching you running through the woods and tripping, looked more like you were being chased by a bear.
  • @joeyrector1015
    I agree. When I use to work at a sawmill. I had people come to work saying that they worked at sawmills before. But the thing is. They couldn't stack or even know the kind of tree we was running out of the sawmill.
  • Mr. Wilson, I love your sense of humor. Keep it up and here is to another 30K in subscribers just around the corner 🍺 😉👍
  • ...when they call them rakers or depth gauges instead of the proper 'thingy-mah-doodles in front of the teeth' they might not be a real logger...😁🤣
