@@JGunit Buckins been around for most of the time TH-cam has been out. To say guys like Mr beast or Casey neistat wont be legends would be foolish and they are TH-cam stars as well.

And let’s not forget that he’s probably been pushing the kindness message most of his life well before youtube came about.
I wish I had seen your videos years ago when I was cutting my own firewood. I did so many things wrong and couldn’t sharpen my chain properly at all, my saw was constantly cutting on an angle and I couldn’t figure what I was doing wrong. Now that I am unable to use a saw anymore and after seeing most of your videos I can help my family do things safely when cutting and I do all of the chain sharpening for most of the neighbours and I also do the maintenance on our owns saws. Thanks for all the good tips you have taught me
Started my 371xp last weekend after 15 years in unheated storage. flushed the fuel tank and then 6 pulls and it came to life, just as it did the day it was brought into the family. Love the 371xp, love the channel, love to you all! Ohh the sound of that glorious engine!
Id love nothin more than to be able to go out in the woods with you and learn the buckin ways. The mix of your old school knowledge and the buckin knowledge is awesome. The fact youre a husky man helps too! Lol stay safe bud
As always, appreciate your experience in falling trees and the focus on safety. We just had a young guy killed climbing a dead deciduous tree that broke off at ground level while he was up it. It fell on him. Seems to me that experience is the great leveller in all of this and, having watched you teaching your son the ins and outs of tree climbing and falling, nothing is a substitute for it.
Thanks for taking the time to explain the details. I am gaining confidence in felling plans and correcting mis-match cuts and/or sighting errors in the undercuts but I still - and will likely always - tune in and pay attention when the veterans / pros are speaking. Of all the mid-life crisis hobbies I could have chosen ... I'm glad I picked this one :)
Beautiful. Great work Buckin on and off the stump. You sir are changing lives and helping people be better at what they do and in life. Love ya brother. Thank you Buckin. 🌲❤️🌲👊🪓
I’ve been dropping trees on my property for four decades, I don’t know anything 😂, this content is great and provides substantial safeguards for know nothings like me.
Like I said before Bucking i've been cutting since I was 18 I'm 40 now I love when you explain things because I still learn so much and that's a fact I've learned so much from your videos and they've helped me up my game so much more even though I've been cutting for a long time climbing for a long time I still can soak up so much thank you so much God bless
Glad you touched on depth of undercut making those notches. This is something I learned from you a few years back and it gave me a ton of confidence falling larger diameter snags. It was that “punch it in the gut video” that you made a few years back that really helped me to get on target. Good stuff man.
this is kind of an old video, but its cool to watch him switch from over the top loving personality, to taking falling a tree seriously and explaining it and how to do it safely. Its serious business when falling an old growth tree, thats for sure
Even though that tree was dead what a magnificent specimen it was. Just to cut down a tree that old and that large would give me the thrill of a lifetime. Your a blessed man my friend. Enjoyed every second of this video 👍👍
Good morning Buckin Billy Ray, love you. Looking forward to Bunyan, hope to be there again this year. Wonderful job. Its REALLY GREAT to see you running the saw again, hope your shoulder hangs in there with you. I love it.
This takes me back 50 years to the time my dad and my older brothers logged our old growth douglas fir stand on our ranch in Washington, up in the Cascades. Four and five foot at the stump, and 90 to 150 feet tall. My job was setting chokers so my oldest brother could skin 'em out with the Cat D6 down to the loading winch. We select cut 200 acres, then went back that winter, and thinned and pruned every thing left, collected the slash and took a bunch of it home as firewood for the next three years...lol Place looked like a park when we were done, and we could have cut again in 40 years or so, except for the big fire that crowned over the "wood lot" in '68 and killed 90% of it. Still, the thinning and pruning saved some of the trees.
Great video. One concern to be aware of especially cutting dead trees is always be aware the tops can come out and dead branches! They tento fall straight down and I have seen them break up a faller pretty. Good. Sawing and wedging can stress the tree enough to make this happen.
Last year I had a big Hemlock break in half and the top come right back at me . I’m always looking up , never bang wedges in rotten trees , they like to rain limbs down on you , just put a wedge in to keep it doom pinching your bar 👍🇨🇦
I love seeing you have fun in the woods. The saw work is great. The splitting work is great. I would love to get onto some of those fir tree rounds one day. Herein Australia I mainly burn river red gum and it's a bastard to split with its wavy grain. Good little workout. When this tree dropped it was a real joy to watch as it slapped the road. Looking forward to the splitting video in the next few weeks/months.
Good hearted, smart, proper, skilled man here. Buckin' Billyray is a real pro at what he does. i can tell by the way he takes his time and by his handling of these dangerous trees, he is a pro. I love watching your videos you have taught me a lot and you have showed countless people how to take their time and do this the right way, because doing it the wrong way, will most certainly cost their lives.
HI BILLY AN CHRISTINE ,cant believe our parcel arrived so quick ,and what a day for it to arrive ,on the day my son sean came to see his dad ,after the kidney transplant ,that had so many complications ,sean was so happy with his cap and mug ,we love the big handles our mitts fit in the handle just nice ,are any of same caps be available with the leather patch would love to buy a couple for me and sean ,thank you so much folks peace an love from scotland stuart an family ,awesome video billy .
Wow, what an awesome video!... it is extremely interesting to me to learn what is going on inside your head as you assess a tree and your surroundings before you even start power saw (chain saw🙃)... you ROCK young man!💪🪓🪵☮️🥰🌲
I hope ya going to show a lot more of that old girl she is one long legged sweetheart and ya need to do the old girl justice by doing her up right one beautiful tree I would of thought she was gone on the inside of her the way she looked so easy to get fooled 😱😱😱😱
Nice one, lots of lumber in that one. I love my 390xp the best saw I ever for me. . I started out with a Mcculloch Mac 10/10, That old one cut lots of pine in ME.
4:18 Yesterday I found an old railroad tie hanging around the house, ripped the sides off to get the dirt off and cut slots in it for my bar. It sits right behind my wheel wells and gives exactly enough space to hold my 660 in snuggly. Works pretty great.
Thanks for the lessons Billy Ray!! That is sure one MONSTER of a tree. That bark is something of another planet. I love how we could see the difference of the cut in progress. When your power saw was just in the bark the chips were a very dark red/brown color but once you hit the sap wood the chip color immediately turned a very light brown/almost yellow. NEAT process/progression. 🤩
Good Stuff Buckin, I had someone come remove a dead tree the other day and after they put the undercut in and were scribing a line around the tree and it broke and fell right where it needed to go but it was pretty crazy.
What a smooth cutting chain!!! That’s inspiring! Thank you as always for slowing down and taking us through your thought process. Love you all friends!
Friends buckin will go down in TH-cam history
Hopefully not for cuttin trees 🌲 thx friend

Bucking would agree... little early to be talking about going down in history on a platform that launched in 2005. I've got jeans older than that.

May your faller rest well in that next place
Sorry for the loss!
Christchurch?
Love you brother! I’ve been digging ditches and getting turning that shower water brown💪Thanks for you❤
Only Buckin’ could make the rope trick in the back of an old pickup the most exciting life tip I’ve seen all week.
Been falling trees since I was 14yrs old. I learn so much from your videos. Keep safe and have a fun time!

Thanks BBR
