Ha, funny thing is before i watched any Buckin videos i made sure to watch as many tree fails i could stomach. Yes, ladders and chainsaws is a bad combination. But here we have Buckin calculating every move in his head before hand and using the reference of experience and doing a very dangerous job safely. Great edutainment.
@@michaelpcooksey5096 still a stupid idea, never try this at home, even if u string urself to the tree, if it goes bad ur stuck to a falling tree without the the last resort of jumping of the ladder, this just gives people stupid ideas and people are gonna get hurt in the process, never use a chainsaw on a ladder, no matter how big u think ur balls are
@@MathieusChainsawCarvings I agreed. Sold. The 'Idiots With Chainsaws' series show a lot of examples ... I don't even own a chainsaw and would have to rent one to use. Had a huge diameter Catelpa next to the house & called professionals to bring it down. It held bees, squirrel nests, and the bottom diameter revealed it to be completely hollow inside with only a watermelon rind live cambium layer around the circumference. They took it from the top down. Diameter had to be around six feet. The owner of the company came on site and managed everything. When it came time to finish the stick he had the longest bar I've ever seen and had to go around the tree like a can opener then lever it off the stump.
What you said at the beginning really hit me. I'm at a period in my life where university classes have become very rigourous and I was starting to loose heart. Thanks for telling me what I needed to hear most
Where are you located? I have a wonderful pole saw I love this thing Silky Hatate 20ft. its fun trimming trees, Just wish I could do more and I was younger. There is something gratifying about working in nature and with trees. I need to hire someone to help me buck a tree that fell between me a neighbors property. I have a small Stihl 192C only does so much. I'm watching your channel because I wish I could do it. Love your attitude your a natural teacher.
19:54...love that Prusik knot loop for adjusting position on a flip line. been using it for years. You got me a little nervous at 14:15 when you put your saw across the line that was holding you up. I touched my line once with a brand new blade and it wasn't good. Needless to say I wasn't using a steel core that day. That floating feeling...even for a split second...is something I'll never forget. Fortunately I was able to grab on to something. Overall it was a great video. Thanks
Thank you for reminding me about going after your dreams. Very grateful for your positive energy and messages. It is incredible the power of trees to have the limbs knock over the other trees, even though they were cut up. Thanks for sharing it boosted me back up to 7-8-8. Stay safe , be kind and love always wins ❤️🪓🪵✊🏻
Buckin. I’d love to see a video on your perspective on starting a tree business these days for us young folk. Its proving quite the challenge finding jobs for me. Although I am in the uk, so I’m guessing it’s a quite different business over here. Keep up the inspiring work!
well woody there is a big mis conception about business , and it is that if yer really good at something you should make it in business, or thats what is needed . well young man , it definitely helps to be good at what yer doin'.. but guess what , you have to get the job first to show them what your craft is like .. so they can talk about you to all there friends. and how do we do that ? well thats the 80 % of business. cuttin' the tree and stuffin' it in the chipper and rakin' up and blowin' everything off ... well that the 20 % , and there's alot of humans that can do that , and super good to .. see where i 'm goin' with this . ? Business is 80% the handshake brother . quick analogy ;: you go in and price a job $750.00 , you are there a total of 5 min. your on yer phone , kinda given off a , i dont really care if i get this job or not kinda feel . you dont look them in the eye , not added conversation , accept what a pain this tree we be to get down. ,, all bis . in and out. , then I go in . first thing i say is thx so much for calling us , we are grateful for the opportunity and wow! what a nice property . . instantly they like me better , instantly , if i am sincere , we are animals with senses , we smell B.S. they can smell you. next i say, "oh, this lil' fella over here? this is no problem,,, we wood be in and out in 4 hr and the cost to you wood be''... you guessed it.. $750.00 . here is my card. thx again . we wood love to earn your business and knock yer socks right off your freakin' feet, so that when were done you will tell all your friend s about us .. we are a new up and comin' business with families. and are hopin to maintain our clients trees.., as multiple tree people in one tree is not good. thought i'd throw that in there ,, which is actually true BTW. anyway you know what to do. service the living shanaka's out of them once yer in . every job you get is potentially thousands of dollars , fellers make the mistake of thinkin' its only one job . once you get the job . oh boy it is on . you love yer job so how cant they feel that from you . you go get em Son . Do It
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith Thanks Buckin’. That makes so much sense to me! We have job centres here in the uk where they’re supposed to help you, but all they tell you is to advertise in lots of places, but nothing about customer service. There’s very few people in this world like yourself that know how to be real with people, or that know how to properly help people. I speak for all of your fans when I say we really appreciate the advice you give us and the way you see the world. It makes so much more sense than the way we’re taught to see it as we grow up. I’ll have to let you know how I get on!
I don't know what it is ...But there is something immensely satisfying about watching someone climb a tree cutting as they go. More power to Ya! Mr B. Also it's nice watchin' someone who knows what the hell they're doing.Never mind synchronized swimming They should have synchronized tree felling, when you cut one down several others fall also?
What brand rope is that! I have been a subscriber for a few years and that rope has made several appearances! Rigging, climbing,etc. it has lasted longer than my ropes and I do tree climbing for side work!
That was awesome too watch, top tier work at it's finest, also love that you get in depth about what you are doing it's helped me alot with falling trees !
I owe you a lot sir. This July I left a 14 year career to start doing tree work full time. You are a huge inspiration to me. I’ve never been happier. I would much rather be sunburnt and splintered than spend any more time behind a desk.
Long sleeves and a hat that also covers your neck is a must. I do landscaping and even with all the heat and sun, I have barely become darker. Before that, I had headaches and my forearms would always be burnt by the sun.
I will second every word of this! I too am on my way out from a 13year career to do treework, the transition is very rough i wont lie, but i know in the end it will be worth it
Love ya buck in you are right do the things you love . I fell and broke my left leg coming out of an oak tree . You're videos are inspirational. I'm gonna get back at to work someday. And there is nothing I miss more than just being able to drop some timber , climbing all of it. But you're right there is something very therapeutic about running a chainsaw for me .It was my first job out of highschool. And the wood 🪓 chips run deep. Love ya buck n
Why did you add the ladder element buckin? Seems like it's a dangerous option as apposed to felling from ground? Or was the rot worse at the bottom there?
Gosh. I have been telling people that message. When they ask about bee keeping. Just do it or you will put it off and never get to it and you will regret it
@@stevetheriault4164, Doing better Steve, finally can go outside without the Skeeters trying to carry me off. I had a minor Gout flare and it thankfully didn’t stay long. Left knee joint and kneecap.
That ladder work was crazy! Sometimes I think you should just tell the customer "No". Why didn't you just climb higher and chunk it down to the level you wanted?
About 345 to 514 minutes was gold. Love hiw you encourage people to do what they love doing for a living. One of my favorite things about you buckin. Thanks
Most unfortunate events today. I caught my leg with my saw. Level ground cutting a stump. The saw just kicked so hard it flew out of my hands, spun around and got me.Very gloomy right now. 3 stiches in the muscle 12 stiches to close the wound up. Thanks Buckin for always being positive, its lifting my spirits a bit.
I’ve been using the knowledge you share to help build my small business. I’ve even started making short TH-cam videos about my logging adventures! Thanks for your insight Billy!
Wow nice work Buckin you rock. Never ending tools and techniques I just love it. What a great experience thank you for sharing your life with us my friend. Oh yeah I cut my wedges today for smaller trees thank you.. Love ya brother. 🌲❤🌲✊🪓
Hi Buckin. Most people would laugh at you when you tell them that you have learned a lot about cutting from TH-cam. That's when you follow it up with reminding them that you have to consider your source, their experience, and their credibility. You provide quality videos reflecting experience and credibility. Thank you for your dedicated efforts in providing subscribers with quality material. A question I have for you is: How/in what matter do you determine how to make your undercut on a Humboldt notch? I make the horizontal cut and aim the tree, but struggle to make the correct angled cut to match up the horizontal cut, leaving a larger gap on one side of the undercut compared to the other. Do you have any advice or tricks to make that second cut on the undercut match the first horizontal cut? Thanks!
I wish it was as easy as just do what you want with your life and the main reason is that my body isn't allowing me to do what I want. When I have tried to get help to fix my body I haven't found any help, trust me I got spinal cord cancer as a 8yo and scoliosis and cyfosis around 18-19 got two huge surgeries done on my back to fix it so since I was around 20 have I had cronical pain the ranges from medium to tough eating morphine daily just to be able to sleep and having migraine and psychological health issues on top of that, so the passed 15 has been hell all I want is to work and make money so I can do something with my life.
Chronic pain is miserable. The trick is to find things you can do that distract you from it but that don't make it worse. Try a big yoga ball for core strengthening and while I've not tried accupuncture that might be an idea.
Sir, that was a set of beautiful moments for me. I’ve enjoyed your site without comment but this was just a beautiful thing to see. Thanks for your site, your wit and wisdom and your positive outlook on everything. When things are a bit too heavy for carrying around it is a joy for me to watch you mastering your craft. This was … for me, one of your best. So glad my friend Shug mentioned you as one of the sites he watches. Stay healthy and happy sir and again thanks for sharing.
Shug the hammocking juggler? His videos convinced me to try my first hang and I haven't slept in a tent since. The skill that this man shows with a saw or axe is awesome to watch, let alone the conversation. It's as if he's known you forever. Pleasure to watch them both, sharing their experience and knowledge and convincing others to carry on the torches, so to speak. In today's world, these guys and others like them are a breath of fresh air.
Am a little confused when the landowner wants the tree sticks kept intact for a height he told you but you used one to simply sink your chainsaw into as a holding device. Given that the trees are dead [mostly], is it that the owner did not want that particular tree stick intact?
@@marcelv4566 It did look like a sort of macho habit didn't it. Just surprised the idea of damage to his customers log had not stuck in his mind. He was just super focused on dropping the trees safely. But then, if ok with the customer no problem.
Man these videos are just going my way lately. Get home from 12hr shifts, sit down to wind down from a long day and there's a Buckin video in my feed. Gotta love it!!
Why? It’s the easiest way and a professional knows if he is in the realm of capability or he is no professional. Sometimes it’s easier to climb. Sometimes truck sometime just notch and drop. This was a high stump job. I’d use a ladder but I would not recommend anyone else do it.
O Carreteiro Lourenço & Lourival Composição: Tony Damito Sou um carreteiro de carga pesada Vivo nas estradas deste meu país Na minha cabine eu faço morada Da minha maneira eu sou bem feliz Não podo na faixa, nem uso banguela Vou pensando nela minha companheira Que ficou distante lá em outro estado Trago São Cristóvão sempre do meu lado Com o bruto pesado eu cruzo outra fronteira No meu pára-choque escrevi a frase Que esta escrita no meu coração Deus anda comigo, não corro perigo O amor caminha no meu caminhão Só tenho tristeza quando presencio Um nobre colega tombado na pista E quando o destino nos põe no desvio No fundo da alma sinto um calafrio Na palco da vida morre um artista Eu tomo cuidado na ultrapassagem Sou bom motorista de sangue nas veias Eu tenho respeito por meu semelhante Eu tenho respeito pela vida alheia Diminuo a marcha, chego a dez por hora Quando vejo um a placa de um grupo escolar Não mato animais, nem firo pedestres Além da buzina meu freio obedece Sou um motorista muito exemplar Nas minhas andanças vou colecionando Novas amizades pro calendário Eu não deixo nunca baixar o meu nível Nem faço do mundo meu adversário Eu só não resisto a um rabo de saia Na beira da estrada me acenando a mão Mando a tristeza pro fundo do poço Sou um ser humano de carne e osso Só quem é de ferro é meu caminhão
Truly unbelievable! I am awestruck. What a genius woodsman and a kind human being! A true craftsman makes work seem effortless, as Buckin has always done. Thanks for sharing BBR!.
Kahlers husqvarna and stihl sales and service in new London New York but I use cheap yellow ones and chop em all up or smash em all to bits and replace them. Once your commercial, your gonna find a weak link on everything.
I love it when a plan comes together! I do so love watching you work. I learn something from every video, especially I learn the importance of being kind to one another. God bless you and yours Billy Ray.
a must say its true follow dreams, a did have many years have a dream to moving back to finland,so finally a did follow my dream,did quick my job selling my house and did move.aim happy now.
Good ol billy ray! Thanks for being a great example and inspiration for us young folks you've definitely helped me become a better man and I've never even shook your hand! Maybe one day! Why don't you ever run your ol hotrod xpw anymore?
I lost my job at very beginning of this crap some are in. I started Ark Landscape, and got me quite of few saws already and more work than I can keep up with. Trying my best to find good people to work for me and having luck so far. Thanks for sharing; and I also need to know what you have in back of your truck to hold all your chainsaws!
Cutting from a ladder....i pray none of your followers are silly enough to try that...love your channel...dont like the idea of teaching people to cut from ladders....PEACE
Everytime you drop a tree you should yell Yeee Haaaww lol I Wanna Yell It Watching You Drop Trees, By The Way Im Watching You To Build Up Confidence Because My Mom And I Cannot Afford Tree Work So I Am Going To Have To Invest In Equipment To Climb, Because Our House Is In Jeopardy. 😟
Been here for years haven’t committed in while, but like always beautiful falling! Little down that you didn’t mention th star of th show on tree #1,” LEFTY TH RANCH HAND”, Ha love it!
371xp was my very first Husqvarna chainsaw, I had to rebuild it, and that's what got me into porting and having fun with chainsaws like Iron Horse and especially Tin Man.
Your videos and your philosophy are just brilliant. Thank you so much. I love watching a true professional at work and love listening to your life lessons. You are a good man! Giving back. Thank you.
Buckin, you are an artist brother. I love watching you work. If they ever open Canada back up to us dirty Americans, I'd like to come up and buy you a coffee/beer/whatever and split wood with ya Thanks for all the great content and God Bless
Billy Ray, whenever I fall a tree in an area where “personal property” is, I always use 2 guide ropes to keep the tree from falling in that direction and to stop “Joey Bag o' Donuts” from ruining my day . . .
Just been watching Stanley Dirt Monkeys latest video, taking down a tree leaning the wrong way between two cabins, using a rope to pull and skid steer to push, I think he needed you!!!!!
Nice work, BBRS. Seemed like a lot of extra work for you. Been falling a few trees myself but nothing as crazy as you, lol. Thanks for all the tips. Take care.
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith The lean & high cut. I've been falling some eucalyptus trees on the farm down here about a hour North of Los Angeles. Using the excavator push. Thanks & take care.
Just curious bugging the last tree you climbed to set the rope you didn't have a throw ball or you don't like using them I'm just curious it would have saved you so much energy just to throw a throw ball up her and put a timber hitch to the back of the tree down or your back cut is
Probably the first time I’ve seen a TH-cam video that combined a ladder and a chainsaw where things didn’t go horribly wrong. Great job!
Ha, funny thing is before i watched any Buckin videos i made sure to watch as many tree fails i could stomach. Yes, ladders and chainsaws is a bad combination.
But here we have Buckin calculating every move in his head before hand and using the reference of experience and doing a very dangerous job safely. Great edutainment.
@@jirusjirus9322 ahh now I gotta look up tree fails :-P
Yes indeed. But I noticed HE tied himself in place.
@@michaelpcooksey5096 still a stupid idea, never try this at home, even if u string urself to the tree, if it goes bad ur stuck to a falling tree without the the last resort of jumping of the ladder, this just gives people stupid ideas and people are gonna get hurt in the process, never use a chainsaw on a ladder, no matter how big u think ur balls are
@@MathieusChainsawCarvings I agreed. Sold. The 'Idiots With Chainsaws' series show a lot of examples ... I don't even own a chainsaw and would have to rent one to use. Had a huge diameter Catelpa next to the house & called professionals to bring it down. It held bees, squirrel nests, and the bottom diameter revealed it to be completely hollow inside with only a watermelon rind live cambium layer around the circumference. They took it from the top down. Diameter had to be around six feet. The owner of the company came on site and managed everything. When it came time to finish the stick he had the longest bar I've ever seen and had to go around the tree like a can opener then lever it off the stump.
You truly are a master at your craft Buckin. I love watching the technical cuts and how you handle them. Helps me become better. Peace brother!
This guy is the best I’ve ever seen! He’s a true professional. Awesome guy too. Be kind like buckin would say!

At least the customer bracing the ladder didn't get any sawdust in his hair. Nice double. ✌
Or he could of put a crowbar into the ground, hooked over the bottom run of the ladder too stop it slipping out.

Am a little confused when the landowner wants the tree sticks kept intact for a height he told you but you used one to simply sink your chainsaw into as a holding device. Given that the trees are dead [mostly], is it that the owner did not want that particular tree stick intact?
I noticed that too, I'm guessing that's just a habit...
@@marcelv4566 It did look like a sort of macho habit didn't it. Just surprised the idea of damage to his customers log had not stuck in his mind. He was just super focused on dropping the trees safely. But then, if ok with the customer no problem.
Man these videos are just going my way lately. Get home from 12hr shifts, sit down to wind down from a long day and there's a Buckin video in my feed. Gotta love it!!
rite on
As a tree climber would you not feel more at home climbing instead of being on a ladder ?
Why? It’s the easiest way and a professional knows if he is in the realm of capability or he is no professional. Sometimes it’s easier to climb. Sometimes truck sometime just notch and drop. This was a high stump job. I’d use a ladder but I would not recommend anyone else do it.
Good evening all, awesome work buckin.. I can’t believe we’re at 317k when I first subed I was only 23k it’s amazing :)

Sou um carreteiro de carga pesada
Vivo nas estradas deste meu país
Na minha cabine eu faço morada
Da minha maneira eu sou bem feliz
Não podo na faixa, nem uso banguela
Vou pensando nela minha companheira
Que ficou distante lá em outro estado
Trago São Cristóvão sempre do meu lado
Com o bruto pesado eu cruzo outra fronteira
No meu pára-choque escrevi a frase
Que esta escrita no meu coração
Deus anda comigo, não corro perigo
O amor caminha no meu caminhão
Só tenho tristeza quando presencio
Um nobre colega tombado na pista
E quando o destino nos põe no desvio
No fundo da alma sinto um calafrio
Na palco da vida morre um artista
Eu tomo cuidado na ultrapassagem
Sou bom motorista de sangue nas veias
Eu tenho respeito por meu semelhante
Eu tenho respeito pela vida alheia
Diminuo a marcha, chego a dez por hora
Quando vejo um a placa de um grupo escolar
Não mato animais, nem firo pedestres
Além da buzina meu freio obedece
Sou um motorista muito exemplar
Nas minhas andanças vou colecionando
Novas amizades pro calendário
Eu não deixo nunca baixar o meu nível
Nem faço do mundo meu adversário
Eu só não resisto a um rabo de saia
Na beira da estrada me acenando a mão
Mando a tristeza pro fundo do poço
Sou um ser humano de carne e osso
Só quem é de ferro é meu caminhão
Can't get any better than being outside and running a saw, I just took a tree down today and my dad was here to help and hang out excellent day
Truly unbelievable! I am awestruck. What a genius woodsman and a kind human being! A true craftsman makes work seem effortless, as Buckin has always done. Thanks for sharing BBR!.
Where do you purchase those exact wedges and what size do you use? They look hi quality and you beat them so hard and they still hold together.
I know they are K&H Red Head wedges. I’m sure many places have them, but Bailey’s outdoor equipment sells them for sure
Kahlers husqvarna and stihl sales and service in new London New York but I use cheap yellow ones and chop em all up or smash em all to bits and replace them. Once your commercial, your gonna find a weak link on everything.
That last one was scary Buckin! Seemed a little close for comfort with how big that sucker was and the ladder. Nice work💪🏼
That look over your shoulder at 17:13 never gets old Brother!
I love it when a plan comes together! I do so love watching you work. I learn something from every video, especially I learn the importance of being kind to one another. God bless you and yours Billy Ray.

Good ol billy ray! Thanks for being a great example and inspiration for us young folks you've definitely helped me become a better man and I've never even shook your hand! Maybe one day! Why don't you ever run your ol hotrod xpw anymore?

Friends,
Listen to that 266 at 26:52 it reminds me of Woody the Wood Pecker’s laugh= excellent grind
You haven't told me where I can buy an ax or the wood chips!:) Much love brother
I lost my job at very beginning of this crap some are in. I started Ark Landscape, and got me quite of few saws already and more work than I can keep up with. Trying my best to find good people to work for me and having luck so far. Thanks for sharing; and I also need to know what you have in back of your truck to hold all your chainsaws!
Sweet shot bro!
Cutting from a ladder....i pray none of your followers are silly enough to try that...love your channel...dont like the idea of teaching people to cut from ladders....PEACE
Everytime you drop a tree you should yell Yeee Haaaww lol I Wanna Yell It Watching You Drop Trees, By The Way Im Watching You To Build Up Confidence Because My Mom And I Cannot Afford Tree Work So I Am Going To Have To Invest In Equipment To Climb, Because Our House Is In Jeopardy. 😟
Great video. Have a Safe Day
Awesome
Thank you Billy Ray!!!
You a bad man!!!!!! The experience shows. Thanks for teaching the world. Keep up the great work
Been here for years haven’t committed in while, but like always beautiful falling! Little down that you didn’t mention th star of th show on tree #1,” LEFTY TH RANCH HAND”, Ha love it!
I’m retired Air Force 2 combat tours with PTSD Billy your videos have made life better and provide a calming influence ty brother
371xp was my very first Husqvarna chainsaw, I had to rebuild it, and that's what got me into porting and having fun with chainsaws like Iron Horse and especially Tin Man.
Your videos and your philosophy are just brilliant. Thank you so much. I love watching a true professional at work and love listening to your life lessons. You are a good man! Giving back. Thank you.
good man Russel
Weird I just stumbled on this video today. I'm back at the 9-5 and yur words were speaking to me about investing in yourself ❤
About 16:40 in my wife wondered why I was cheering at my TV!!!! Lol
BBR- you are a Wizard of Wood Chips!
Buckin, you are an artist brother. I love watching you work. If they ever open Canada back up to us dirty Americans, I'd like to come up and buy you a coffee/beer/whatever and split wood with ya
Thanks for all the great content and God Bless
Another good Job by a skilled woodman, Buckin , miss seeing Hogan help you ?
braver than me I don't like heights. I wouldn't climb up the barrell. Forget the tree.
Ladders and trees. Incompatible. Not even going to watch. Dark at 0:15
I am obviously missing something. Why was there a ladder involved. Personally a chain saw and ladder will never go together
Buckin Billy my kids watch your channel your aaaaaaawesome my brother
That older XP Buckin is cutting with, I think it’s a 72 cc? I had the same saw but gave it to my son-in-law? My heart will never be the same???
I hope you torqued that bolt back down. Sucking that much air would score that cylinder to death brotherman!
Impressive BBR. On a Ladder in a tree with a chainsaw is a scary combo.
Billy Ray, whenever I fall a tree in an area where “personal property” is, I always use 2 guide ropes to keep the tree from falling in that direction and to stop “Joey Bag o' Donuts” from ruining my day . . .
I endorse your “just do it” attitude.
Do it NOW, tomorrow you may get news that makes it impossible.
AT around the 7 min mark you are using the saw and cutting that tree with NO safety glasses on, YOU should consider putting some on!!
I’d love to have any of those saws Buckin calls LITTLE??? Lol 😆
Hey Buckin just wondered I haven't seen you run a promac 650
Just been watching Stanley Dirt Monkeys latest video, taking down a tree leaning the wrong way between two cabins, using a rope to pull and skid steer to push, I think he needed you!!!!!
You do amazing job. I have been learning alot watching your videos
Waiting for so long you running the husqy mr buckin. Younger generation not used to that mcculloc. Hihi
Nice work, BBRS. Seemed like a lot of extra work for you. Been falling a few trees myself but nothing as crazy as you, lol. Thanks for all the tips. Take care.
apposed to just falling in to the lean ? that what ya mean . ?
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith The lean & high cut. I've been falling some eucalyptus trees on the farm down here about a hour North of Los Angeles. Using the excavator push. Thanks & take care.
I think your great and I learn something vry time you work . Your fun and I just love hat you do god bless you
That was an incredible cut there kind sir. Great job. I just joined but man ole school for the win! God bless Brother
Just curious bugging the last tree you climbed to set the rope you didn't have a throw ball or you don't like using them I'm just curious it would have saved you so much energy just to throw a throw ball up her and put a timber hitch to the back of the tree down or your back cut is
THANK YOU KINDLY...GOD BLESS ALLWAYS...L O L OVE..&.. L O L AUGHTER TO....
