IN THIS MOVIE MY BOY AND I DISMANTLE A GOOD SIZE TREE , AND SHOW SOME TECHNIQUES THAT MAY HELP THE AVERAGE TREE CLIMBING FELLA OR LADY, BASIC BRANCH RIGGING.
Billy Ray, these are the kind of videos I enjoy most. Not only do I like the tree climbing, but I really like the explanations you give regarding rigging. You explain why and how you do what you do very well. Please do more of these. I'm 64 years old and a complete novice, but I learn a lot watching you. Thanks friend!
I love this, rigging for the average man!! As a homeowner aspiring tree climber, i really appreciate the minimalism here, Its hard to justify to the wife to spend 3k on rigging toy... er i mean tools.
The mumbling is where the true knowledge lies, reminds me of listening to my grandfather and the old welders and carpenters I used to work with! I love you channel, I am a young arborist, do line clearance for work but pick up side jobs. The knowledge of the older generations is often passed off as unsafe, but I love learning your techniques because you guys d8dnt have all of the fancy equipment we do these days.
Young man on the ground doesn't know it yet but this will be some of his best memorys 40 years from now working with a loving dad. You are very very lucky dude.
his kid is what his pops is . He aint gonna give a fuck . Thats you who think if you had this dad your life would be better . Buckin's son doesnt give a fuck about his daddy being special or not . He is just living his life bru just like you and me ! Do you think your dad is special ? No . For buckins kid your dad may appear special to his eyes while in yours he aint . See what am saying ?
Yes, I look back on all the things my dad and I done together when he was alive and in good health. I cherish every memory of those occasions that seemed so ordinary at the time. Now, they are priceless. And Mr. Smith's son does think his dad is special! Had he not, then he'd be doing other things instead of working alongside his dad. This is clearly a show of the love and respect that a son has for his dad. 🙂
Buckin I need to thank you. I've been watching your channel for years. I've had a love for power saws for awhile but only ever on the ground. But not much longer! I'm a young 39 years old and have decided to learn a new skill. Bought some used Buckingham climbing gear, spurs, saddle, ropes, etc and I'm teaching myself to climb! (With your help of course) so thank you!! I've learned so much about saws and sharpening chains from you already, now I'll be learning to climb! I have a few huge white pines on the property that will be on the ground, chopped into fire wood before I turn 40!! Thanks again for your help and inspiration. I feel like a kid again excited to learn a new skill and save a ton of money in the process!
Burying is the worst! I couldn't agree more! It seems like some climbers will never understand "the process" or simply refuse to learn. Great video Buckin'
I was a lineman for 17 years, I always tried to be a gentleman on the pole or in the bucket.It makes your ground man appreciate you more and makes them willing to learn more...Great Wisdom for younger men!
Hey Billy, Thanks for taking all the time to video, edit and post these! Most guys are just telling GO and being a nutbar. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts along the way and showing the different cuts and knots too, that’s AWESOME to see the techniques in use instead of just hearing, do this or that…. You’re are helping me out a LOT. I appreciate you and thanks again!
That woulda been a fun one. My ol man told me to slow down once. From that I realized what u were sayin. And I always say please and thank u. I look at it that hes doin me a favor. Kindness and love no matter what were doin. Just his company while I was changin my spark plugs today. Just have to add meeting ppl along the way in our journeys...a smile on our faces means the world and thats worth livin for
Perfect timing on the vid as always, I'm just starting out with my first pair of spikes. I'm gona do my first two trees for my dad in about a month, for now I'm still practicing just a few off the ground getting better everytime
Dude I would never usually tell someone what to in the tree world because that's what everyone already does. Let alone ever take time to comment on a social media page. But it drives me absolutely insane that when I was learning from all these pros and badass climbers, that they never taught me the one thing that made climbing go from feeling impossible to absolute cake. They like to let you learn on your own and struggle like any boomers really haha. But dude when you are in the tree from the first two steps all the way to transitioning to splits and moving around the tree. Put your safety strap on and PUSH AGAINST THE TREE WITH YOUR ARMS. Your natural reaction is to hug the tree. Stick that ass out and push against the tree. It's the difference between being capable of doing the tree comfortably, or being terrified and frustrated and having to come down n give up. Trust that rope brother n good luck to you.
Too many great thingsabout this video! Great tune in the background!! I agree on the suspenders. As a sheetmetal worker I wear a heavy tool belt all day. I switched to suspenders about 10 years ago and my waist has thanked me ever since. And the ropin and climbing tips are helpful.
I am 24 years old and I am attempting to climb trees without being taught.. I have watched a buddy cut trees to drop without climbing when they are open areas along with him climbing too but he never had time to really show me or explain alot. I always asked questions which helped me Two months ago when i dropped my first tree which was 85 feet. Landed it 2 feet away from hitting the house luckily but after a cose call I have been educating myself to become better.. love your approach to facilitating your ground men, rigging techniques, and the way you explain the best way to keep the process moving while staying safe. Also great communication. Thank you
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith howdy Mr buckin billy ray smith ,love to see a woodman who can play off beat on a drum kit, my house full of drums ,( kit ,djembes, congas, bongos,even carved a DJEMBE out of our local timber SHEOAK, beautiful rich colour, man dig your tree work and your captions, you hit a spot in me like catching up with a long lost friend, more drumming please, can you buy macullock chainsaws in Australia? AWSOME are you buckin, love your work
Such a great video for me! That tree job and tree jobs just like that are how my wife and I have made our living for the past 18 years or so. My wife is a crackerjack with a 562xp and has been ground operations for 10 of of those years and now my nephew on board. I never have to go to work, just go climb trees. Thanks sir Billy I think we might be brothers from a different mother. Thanks for sharing and peace to all who see this ✌️💕
I really enjoyed this video, and others you have done and this video helped me to understand a bit about rigging without pulleys and over expensive hardware that isn’t always necessary. I don’t necessarily use tree spikes, I use a climbing rope and another rope as a safety in case one breaks or as a means to navigate around a tree so I can relocate my main climbing line. Thanks for showing everyone your videos and your work and some education. Very inspirational stuff
Hey me too! Lol. 5 years though? Dang! Why so long? Just curious.. Not trying to sound like a d*** but I've only been a groundie for 4 months? Maybe you weren't interested initially? I was surprised to find that not.. everybody wants to be a climber lol
@@dylanstumbaugh356 I work for a family business and there are two family members who usually take turns in the bucket so I have been a ground guy from age 17-22. I was waiting for my turn and now I'm stepping up and getting up in the trees
I have learned so much from your channel. Even at 50.....you can still learn things. Lol. Cleaning up my lake lot and these tips have helped a lot with safety and not working against yourself. Thank you brother. Usa/Georgia in the tree.
9:26 Totally agree. I've been on the ground for climbers that bury the groundsman, makes their job so much harder for no gain on overall job time. In many cases, it actually makes the job take longer because it takes a lot more time to untangle things than it does to simply move it away from the tree as it comes down. Having had that experience on the ground, both having been buried, and having been allowed to take things out as it came down, knowing that difference, i'm mindful of my groundsman and make sure to calibrate the methods I am using with them and their resources. If they have machinery to work with, I keep an eye on the pile and gauge what access they have with the machine or winch. The job goes so much smoother and they aren't burned out at the end of the day. Morale stays high, and high morale means motivated crew. I love working on a motivated crew, it doesn't feel like work. If work feels like work regularly, something is wrong, things need to change. I've been fortunate enough to work with motivated co-workers who like to do a good job in a timely fashion, take pride in having done a good job at the end of the day, having done the best they could with the resources available. There are times when tree work is hard work, and there are no two ways about it. When there is an option to do something easier while being close on time, I go with that so we aren't burnt out when we get to the day where its hard work no matter what. An experienced crew knows the difference, a motivated crew appreciates that you respect their energy, and will apply the same motivation on the days there is no easier way.
Hi Sofie and Lily 😀. Gotta love Momma Buckin in the back ground,,,,,I could just watch and listen all day. Hey Buckin you got more video of you and your Mom playing and singing. See little clips at Buckin stock. Great video 👍✊
Hello BBR.... blessings to you always my friend. Love watching your videos and the words of wisdom and kindness, resonate well and harmony is about you. I am new to the tree work and have got only 4 climbs under my belt so to say. I am 51 and got some experience with chainsaw work and assessing what needs to be done to safely bring a tree down. Wether it be from the top dropping limb by limb or making an under cut/wedge cut to send it where it needs to be. I have learned many things about arborist work by watching you in action. I wanted to thank you for sharing your awesome career work and impeccable knowledge of your expert experience. You sir,are a blessing indeed. Keep safe always and blessings to you and your family always.
Hey friend u r inspired me to keep going I been clean for 7 -1/2 year and you gat a lot to do with it. I started my truck and I’m makings it Thanks God Keep up with the good work and keep the good messages coming up from ur heart and the world will change the same way change me Thanks and God bless
You are exactly right I used to be a ground guy for about 9 years now I am a Foreman I climb all the time I always take care of my ground guys thank you Bucking
Fantastic Video Buckin, it is great to see you and your son working as one !! 😊 I love the raspy sound of your wife’s voice, it reminds me of Janis Joplin !! Very cool !! 😎
Aye! Helping out a friend this weekend. I've cut down a lot of trees, but never climbed them before. I've climbed a lot of radio towers though. So, this should be fine. The rigging. That was the key. Thank you mate!
I hope to have so many saws one day that I have to rotate them like guys you do :) That jam in the beginning is epic, your mom has a great blues voice and that guitar solo rips.
I rarely leave any comments but I must give feedback on this because its one of the best tree climbing videos on TH-cam, I could watch you climb all day... Entertaining, Good with your cameras, Full of love, positivity, Skill, And knowledge. You are also an EXCELENT climber sir, extremely comfortable, good paced and always keep the ground guys busy to. I really love that one handed throw clove knot technique its pretty damn slick. "when in doubt. rope it out!!!" that wrap you took on the small limb was cool to see and take note of. your experience really shows when you left all the brush from the top cut in your landing zone and then blocked her down using one cuts that spun one time landing perfectly flat on the padding below, leaving the ground free of holes! I too love a good set of suspenders on my belt but I prefer to be tied into a tree at all times, Just give me a throwball and rope ;} and is that the Stihl 200? cuz its a straight up monster!!! wish they where still around, id give you 5 new 201s for a 200..
Great content Billy Ray! Love that your a music man too! You're also a tree sage! So thankful for youtube making the world a smaller place and bringing like minded people together!
Hi Sophie & Lily! Pleasure to meet you :) Remember to be friends with one another. God gave you each other so you could help each other along in life, no matter what happens. Thanks for saying hi to us!
Thanks for pointing out that you have to give your groundman the opportunity to do the work he needs to do. I've seen some people completely disregard their guy on the ground and not once has the groundman respected the climber in that situation.
Hi Sophie and Lilly!!!. I remember when my girls were that age. To this day they are apples of this Dads eye. Be kind friends and Love. All the best to this community. Alaska Brad
I couldn’t agree more! When I was green and in the ground I hated climbers who burried is. Now as a climber for 10 years I will never do that to my groundies. It really is so counter productive! Slow is smooth and smooth is fast!!
I love this flip line set up ive never seen it idk why but like you said not a 1 single sketchy situation you just sold me on this set up, thank you for all you videos keeping the trade alive !👍🤟
you are a real inspiration I just got my belt and my 2 in 1 linear thank you so much for your Insight I'm definitely green to the industry I worked for people most of my life but I just started my own company Ricky Bobby Lawn & Tree Service out of Denton Texas and I'm watching you and following you you're really given me an insight and I love the way you handle people and how you handle life
I hope you and your family have a great time for thanks giving ,if everyone is gathered around talking just take a minute and step back and breathe it all in buddy your family is great enjoy the good times ,LOVE you like a brother man your a good lad buckin take care man ,AND just THANKYOU
I kind of do the same thing but with my zigzag and just use my climbing rope and zigzag as my two in one Hogan could benefit from the same technique mate love you two fellas
No matter how good your video content is, it is always better with Buckin"s mothers voice belting out the feeling of the soul that lies within all of us. We just need to shut up and listen.
Great video man! Love the up high camera angle combined with the slow mo shots from the ground. Great detail on the flip line and prusseks as well. Well done. One of the most enjoyable tree videos I've seen. You are a brave man. Stay safe.
Good one Buckin'. I'm wanting to get into climbing but on a minimal budget so getting to see and hear your process using only simple components was really helpful. Some nifty little tricks there I loved getting to see.
Damn, I love watching you climb Billy. Learn something new every time. Happy Sunday and Happy Thanksgiving brother. May your family be blessed and the same to all the subbers 👍👍👍🦃🦃🦃
I stumbled across your channel; glad i did. I'm trying to learn everything i can about tree work. Ive got a bunch of huge trees around my house that scare the crap out of me every time the wind blows. I've fell a couple but it normally takes a hour or two to get the courage to make the cut. Ive got a buddy who's an aborist and he's super good at it so between TH-cam and Graham i'm starting to get a little more educated. Climbing gear is expensive.
Good call mate I had a 30 meter picker last Friday topping a massive ficus tree and I had to wait for the two female arborist to clean up without a winch 15 inch chipper good advice buddy
HELLO Sophie and Lilly! And momma Olivia, what cuties you have. Thanks BR! Love the climbing and ramblings! It really helps for those of us who want to learn how to be better at this stuff. Love
HI TO SOPHIE; LILLY AND OLIVIA!!! Hey, Billy. Spent most of my youth in the tops of trees (scared the begeezers out of my mom) so I've been thinkin' of picks and flip lines lately. Got lots of tall spruce to practice on. PS Love yer mom's new track.
yeppers gotta work to gather git er done safe ! nice job as always ol timer !!! nice to see sonny learning such a valuable trade, you to work well together ! RITE ON !!!!
10:05 I totally agree with that, I'm a young climber but I started as a ground man and I felt so insanely upset when the climber completely covered us with branches and then he was complaining about why are we so slow... Well he did not like my answer
@@nate2838 indeed, these people are so egoistic and proud usually. What's worse is that they put these two things above pretty much all of their relationships
@@tiborforro97 Lol, I doubt it, there are so many out there. We live in an ego driven society unfortunately, and tree guys aren't known for being forward thinking in general. There obviously are exceptions though. Worked with a contract climber at one of the companies i was at. There was a reason he was contracting, he was tired of bosses that didn't respect their crew.
Billy Ray, these are the kind of videos I enjoy most. Not only do I like the tree climbing, but I really like the explanations you give regarding rigging. You explain why and how you do what you do very well. Please do more of these. I'm 64 years old and a complete novice, but I learn a lot watching you. Thanks friend!
64 and doing tree climbing? liked this coment!
"Be a gentleman in the tree. Don't be a nutbar."
Epic words of wisdom
Tell that to the boys in production
I love this, rigging for the average man!! As a homeowner aspiring tree climber, i really appreciate the minimalism here, Its hard to justify to the wife to spend 3k on rigging toy... er i mean tools.
The mumbling is where the true knowledge lies, reminds me of listening to my grandfather and the old welders and carpenters I used to work with! I love you channel, I am a young arborist, do line clearance for work but pick up side jobs. The knowledge of the older generations is often passed off as unsafe, but I love learning your techniques because you guys d8dnt have all of the fancy equipment we do these days.
Its good to know the minimalist way, can sometimes save the day when you find yourself without a piece of gear because it got left at the shop.
How is mumbling true knowledge?
Young man on the ground doesn't know it yet but this will be some of his best memorys 40 years from now working with a loving dad. You are very very lucky dude.
for real though, what a cool pops haha
his kid is what his pops is . He aint gonna give a fuck . Thats you who think if you had this dad your life would be better . Buckin's son doesnt give a fuck about his daddy being special or not . He is just living his life bru just like you and me ! Do you think your dad is special ? No . For buckins kid your dad may appear special to his eyes while in yours he aint . See what am saying ?
@@dakillah6018 yeah I see what your saying your an asshole.
@@PlymouthVT Poor choice of words
Yes, I look back on all the things my dad and I done together when he was alive and in good health. I cherish every memory of those occasions that seemed so ordinary at the time. Now, they are priceless.
And Mr. Smith's son does think his dad is special! Had he not, then he'd be doing other things instead of working alongside his dad. This is clearly a show of the love and respect that a son has for his dad. 🙂

You two are like poetry in motion.such a pleasure to watch.
Absolutely love this. Especially the wisdom poured here and there. A gentleman and a human right there. Thumbs up.
Thanks for trusting us average men to determine what we are should or should not attempt and giving us instructions on how to do arborist-type things
That woulda been a fun one. My ol man told me to slow down once. From that I realized what u were sayin. And I always say please and thank u. I look at it that hes doin me a favor. Kindness and love no matter what were doin. Just his company while I was changin my spark plugs today. Just have to add meeting ppl along the way in our journeys...a smile on our faces means the world and thats worth livin for
I have little interest in saws or trees, but your energy is on a whole new level. That "mumbling" is some insightful stuff.
Perfect timing on the vid as always, I'm just starting out with my first pair of spikes. I'm gona do my first two trees for my dad in about a month, for now I'm still practicing just a few off the ground getting better everytime

You're the best, Buckin! Yeah I love your mumblin. All your spur of the moment thoughts are helpful in one way or another.
That Mac is unstoppable!
Great content Billy Ray! Love that your a music man too! You're also a tree sage! So thankful for youtube making the world a smaller place and bringing like minded people together!
Hi Sophie & Lily! Pleasure to meet you :) Remember to be friends with one another. God gave you each other so you could help each other along in life, no matter what happens. Thanks for saying hi to us!
Thanks for pointing out that you have to give your groundman the opportunity to do the work he needs to do. I've seen some people completely disregard their guy on the ground and not once has the groundman respected the climber in that situation.
Hi Sophie and Lilly!!!. I remember when my girls were that age. To this day they are apples of this Dads eye. Be kind friends and Love. All the best to this community. Alaska Brad

@@BuckinBillyRaySmith Top of the morning to you Buckin. Its Sunday morning. ☕☕☕😊😊
True genius at work. Love your style.
I couldn’t agree more! When I was green and in the ground I hated climbers who burried is. Now as a climber for 10 years I will never do that to my groundies. It really is so counter productive! Slow is smooth and smooth is fast!!
Thanks again another great video !!!
And I will say,this man is a great friend,💯💯💯
when you hit steel, I understood your reaction so much I felt it physically, I'd even go so far as to say you hit the nail on the head
I don't understand. How would a bad scenario play out? He was so relieved at that moment.
Excellent work! This is exactly what I wanted to see. You’ve got a new subscriber for sure! Thank you for your efforts.
Thank You for sharing your peace and inspiration with tip top skills. A lot to learn from you.
I love this flip line set up ive never seen it idk why but like you said not a 1 single sketchy situation you just sold me on this set up, thank you for all you videos keeping the trade alive !👍🤟
you are a real inspiration I just got my belt and my 2 in 1 linear thank you so much for your Insight I'm definitely green to the industry I worked for people most of my life but I just started my own company Ricky Bobby Lawn & Tree Service out of Denton Texas and I'm watching you and following you you're really given me an insight and I love the way you handle people and how you handle life
Your saw collection must be the most beautiful collection on the planet 🤙
Thanks man! Your videos always motivate me! Have a blessed one!

Love the climbing videos
You're a good guy, buck... I love how you got a rise out of those kids.
I kind of do the same thing but with my zigzag and just use my climbing rope and zigzag as my two in one Hogan could benefit from the same technique mate love you two fellas
Man, I wish I could form a mental picture or see a video of that technique.
Always a pleasure watching and learning how to safely do some rigging. Thank you
Love the vids Billy. And to your question, they wouldnt be the same without the mumbling :) keep on keepin on!
No matter how good your video content is, it is always better with Buckin"s mothers voice belting out the feeling of the soul that lies within all of us. We just need to shut up and listen.
Bluesfreak ahhh an appreciation for a gift I see bluefreak. Love ya buddy
Great video, nice saw collection and heaps of good vibes... thanks for sharing mate, all the best from Argentina!
Great video man! Love the up high camera angle combined with the slow mo shots from the ground. Great detail on the flip line and prusseks as well. Well done. One of the most enjoyable tree videos I've seen. You are a brave man. Stay safe.
That's a really clever use of climbing rope @²³ mins...keep the mumbling it's all good ,
Love you and your mum's music. And I really love all your saws and equipment. Thanks Buckin
Good one Buckin'. I'm wanting to get into climbing but on a minimal budget so getting to see and hear your process using only simple components was really helpful. Some nifty little tricks there I loved getting to see.
Damn, I love watching you climb Billy. Learn something new every time. Happy Sunday and Happy Thanksgiving brother. May your family be blessed and the same to all the subbers 👍👍👍🦃🦃🦃
LOL, i was just cutting up a big maple when sparks started flying....there were a few nails i didn't see. Gotta love it!!
Video's was great , the end was priceless !!!! :-) Big D.
I stumbled across your channel; glad i did. I'm trying to learn everything i can about tree work. Ive got a bunch of huge trees around my house that scare the crap out of me every time the wind blows. I've fell a couple but it normally takes a hour or two to get the courage to make the cut. Ive got a buddy who's an aborist and he's super good at it so between TH-cam and Graham i'm starting to get a little more educated. Climbing gear is expensive.
Billy, you ever think you might be a true junky? Your saw collection is truly wonderful.
Good call mate I had a 30 meter picker last Friday topping a massive ficus tree and I had to wait for the two female arborist to clean up without a winch 15 inch chipper good advice buddy
HELLO Sophie and Lilly! And momma Olivia, what cuties you have.
Thanks BR! Love the climbing and ramblings! It really helps for those of us who want to learn how to be better at this stuff.
Love
Hi, another great video from you both, just ‘nailed’ it
I worked with an arborist for one season and his pace was break neck speed. I was surprised that no one got hurt.
Great content, liked and subscribed
welcome john
Great vid bukin. Great tips and explanation. Have a great day sir. Speeding love and kindness everyday
HI TO SOPHIE; LILLY AND OLIVIA!!! Hey, Billy. Spent most of my youth in the tops of trees (scared the begeezers out of my mom) so I've been thinkin' of picks and flip lines lately. Got lots of tall spruce to practice on. PS Love yer mom's new track.
Great video Buckin!! Great music mamma Buckin!
Thanks so much MV Landscapes.
Eres el mejor buckin' !!!! Un gran maestro.
Hi Sophie, Lilly and Olivia, awe so cute, be safe, and God bless everyone.
yeppers gotta work to gather git er done safe ! nice job as always ol timer !!! nice to see sonny learning such a valuable trade, you to work well together ! RITE ON !!!!
Funny guy.but well explain video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge..climb safe
10:05 I totally agree with that, I'm a young climber but I started as a ground man and I felt so insanely upset when the climber completely covered us with branches and then he was complaining about why are we so slow... Well he did not like my answer
Unfortunately, there are many who don't like honest, reality based answers.
@@nate2838 indeed, these people are so egoistic and proud usually. What's worse is that they put these two things above pretty much all of their relationships
@@tiborforro97 Including the success of their business.
@@nate2838 the more we talk about it, the more I feel like we know the same person who is like this
@@tiborforro97 Lol, I doubt it, there are so many out there. We live in an ego driven society unfortunately, and tree guys aren't known for being forward thinking in general. There obviously are exceptions though.
Worked with a contract climber at one of the companies i was at. There was a reason he was contracting, he was tired of bosses that didn't respect their crew.
Frikin amazing not just the content but you Billy! Keep up the great videos, am hooked after watching just one
A great video! I bet of all the Ax Men, he's the only one that can really use an ax!
You two make a heck of a team!👍
Money or peace..........your a Jedi climber with that wisdom.
Great rigging! Mama Buckin' has a great voice!
Hogan's putting the 'pro' in process more every day.
NOT BAD EH BROTHER
