It is real, but I bet they play it up for the camera. They must get paid to have the cameras around, otherwise why would you risk loosing time because some camera man isn't where he should be.

I love Stump Branches "Yoder Logging". As long as I'm not anywhere near it..

No Doubt. They could have filmed Island Tiberlands Harvesting the old growth trees out of the Englishmen River. They would have caught that one tree hugger who was out there diving out of the way of the falling limbs.
I did see one episode where they found an old growth Fir, they cut 3 16 foot logs out of it and they said each one would be worth about $15,000. So imagine what 12 or 13 whole trees would fetch! say about 3/4 of a million at that price!!

they do for a number of reasons...its easier 2 fall a limbed and topped stem..with the help of a jack,u can almost put them where ever u want..or u can jig them of the stump,they dont touch the ground..there 4 no breakage..and minimal impact on the surounding timber..which is the ultimate goal..save the wood.and thats where all the nice old growth is..up in the steep broken up ground..so that method does have its place..but not always
