Buckin' you and this channel have been an inspiration to me. I have been dragging my feet down the wrong path in my life, quite miserably too. I will start a new job as of tomorrow, working with trees. I love being outside and am quite excited although it has been very hard to change what I am doing after so long. Thanks for all of the great videos and insight into life and for the positivity you share. You share the good life and I am grateful to you, and your followers for it.
I'm 53 yrs old had to restart again 10 yrs ago ! I love the smell of trees , hearing the birds etc ! It's all good working outside . Like BBR says hard work clears your head ! Enjoy
What amazes me, is how comfortable you are in the tree, working hands free, using only your strap and spurs. I get the willies just watching. Thanks for the great channel, I enjoy all your videos and have learned a TON!
Buckin i have to share something with ya my name is Mikey Saiz from pueblo Colorado been a tree arborist for 15 years now the past 2 or 3 years I've been watching you I've learned so much more from you then I have working with the the tree service here I've learned to love life with this profession I enjoy working more with this tree game knowing the way an experience climber like you and your son grew .THANK U for your kindness to show the world how much easier it is to learn to love it you guys are a blessing in this world made me successful i would love to buy one of you're axes 🪓 for a life long reminder
For the money what go pro do I need to use with windows 10. I have some shorts and cant put them as one show with the Kodak. Bees cant read words but can run from smoke.
In the fall of 2019 I topped a large poplar with a nest of yellow jacket wasps inside. By the time I made it back down the 40 feet the little buggers got me about 50 times.licked my wounds for a couple days. I screamed like a school girl on the way down.🤣 thanks for the vid, loved it.Peace everyone ✌️✌️
I have that same Echo Tree Trimmers saw and absolutely LOVE IT!!! It is one of my favorite "go to saws" for light work, and sometimes HEAVY WORK, around on my farm. I have cut up some 22" trees that fell across my logging roads. This saw stays in my Kubota RTV 1140X side by side ALL THE TIME. It has never failed to start for me, and even with the lightweight chain it is one cutting beast!
when i was a young airman i had a major in the front seat of a jet ranger come up with a helmet full of fire ants. that guy freaked out at altitude. long way down. you gotts to maintain a mellow head. that was 50 years ago. time flies, and so did i
Good stuff Buckin! I get into bees ever summer, so it's funny to see someone else get hit , hahaha 😂. That Ganges is a heck of a Han! Keep up the good work 💪
I gotta say, you’re different amongst the old school in terms of newer gear, some things you adopted, some things you didn’t like. But at the end of the day you still have it a shot, lotta guys I work with won’t even look at a newer style of gear.
Man, you were cool as a cucumber when those bee's were starting after you... and the second ascent you were sprinting! You got it goin on buddy... nice job by you and Hogan... gotta have that eye to prune properly, well done! MAGKD!
Buckin', after three years, +/- of bein' a sub, I got my answer about bees! Nice you weren't swarmed like I was, roofin' in North Carolina after my Army service. 😂🐝❗️ Ya'll stay safe! Hello newbs!
For that quick shot of the one bee flying by and my experience with bees I'm fairly confident in saying those were a type of bumblebee and not any breed of honeybee. Especially since they were hived in one of those small bird houses. The can be much more aggressive and unfortunately they can sting you over and over unlike the honeybee! Keep up the good work brother,
I agree, bumblebee it is (beekeeper here). And Billy, it's not a HE, only females have stingers, therefore a SHE, sorry ;) Very sensitive to vibrations... the second your spikes went into the tree... Yeah Hope you are well. Cheers
Another beekeeper chiming in.... Those are tree bumbles. Very territorial and prone to taking over bird boxes. They really only arrived in the UK and Ireland a few years ago but they do generate a lot of "swarm" calls.
Holy cow Buckin you were like a tree/bee ninja. That's crazy how they were on the attack instantly. Great work getting out if there. Glad you weren't like 100 feet up. Great work Ganges thank you for sharing Gange cam time with us and the guided tour of that neighborhood. Love you guys thank you. 🌲❤🌲✊🪓
Some sub species of honey bees are docile, some aren't. If they're the former, you can move slowly and deliberately. Never wave your arms around even if they land on you and they'll let you pass. However if they are a more aggressive bee or sometimes even if the weather is wrong. It doesn't matter, they'll get ya, it's a judgment call. Been around a lot of bees.
Buckiin'... those are some tough hands you got there. Man, I woulda been numb after knocking off one or two of those short knots/branches. Nice work. Sorry about the bees! Stay safe. Love ya.
Man it’s funny you put this video up I just cut out a bee hive for the bee keeper yesterday couple guys got hit hard I only got one, thanks for everything buckin
Love watching these videos especially young hogan becoming a fine climber! Would love too climb with the two of you! Aaahhh I heard hogan say silky!! I started using that handsaw a while ago! Expensive but worth its weight in gold every cent!! Awesome footage Buckin!! And nicks right about that Bee kind shirt lol!!!!!
I remember being in northern Quebec with my uncle I was 17 years old it was July was logging with him we were cutting pine trees ,I was running the CHOKERS he was cutting ahead of me i always kept an eye on him ,all of a sudden I see his 272xp about 10 feet in the air ,him running full tilt through the Bush waving his arms ,bees were after him he flew by me ran right to the landing ,I didn't know he had a bee allergy ,he grabbed his eppie pen ,he was lucky but I could remember that I didn't know what was going on I just seen the saw go flying lol
Looked like a bumblebee species, from that freeze frame also bumblebees have small hives and can be in the bird houses. Honey bees are generally more calm
hi buckin, good that you don't have any allergies. were the bees in a birdhouse? situation solved well! i wish you and the army a great day. stay kind and beware of the bees, hahaha
GOT TO GET ME ONE OF THOSE , shoirts the wood man ! I missed the live Sunday but I'm living the dream ! I dropped several dead snags and climbed a Little in a big locust ! I got a entry level echo top handle and loving it ! 😊😉😋
I'll ever forget when I was 10 and stepped on a yellow jacket nest at my dad's tennis match. Boy they LIT my a** up. Stung atleast 15 times. Ain't no fun
This situation is what rope walking was made for. You could set a line in the top on a bigger limb & climb the rope which would allow you to get past them & not be on the stem. Ladder worked pretty good though...
You didn't even swear when those bees were on yah ! I remember the video when you unboxed that hand saw , that was years ago, you've gotten some good use out of it . 😁💪
Those Bees Lovin on Buckin Billy because he is just so kind. I'm picking up some more shirts Buckin. Waiting for my checks to get deposited and then I'll order some more cool T-shirts .
Hello Buckin and family...always enjoy your channel. I live in the same town as HUCK MILLER how passed away last week end. His obituary calls "Buckin Billy Ray" as 1 of his closest friends. Your a good man Buckin!
Tinman has a pair of shorts he wants to let you borrow. 😂😂. Those go pros are tough A. Good assessment of the trees men. Nice job. Ordered a new shirt and can’t waite to represent. God bless.
This is so coincidental! I year ago today I got lit up by four or five honey bees while doing a small oak removal. Four of 'em got me right around the right eye. Couldn't get the stingers out until I got to the ground about thirty feet down. MAN that joker swelled up good. Glad it wasn't as bad for you B.R., Keep on buckin' on brother!
Never seen coastal honey bees that aggressive, you never know what bees are crossed with now with non native species. Watching you guys triggers my fear of heights. The last part of the video of Ganges it was giving me knots in my stomach, backing away from my laptop screen LOL.
Hello and great day to all of ya'll !!! I wish nature would teach our little stinging buddies to "Bee Kind " , I'm allergic ( mild reaction) to Bee stings and working in the construction trades for 40+ years I've been lucky to have been stung less than 10 times . I could be on a ladder and have a swarm of wasps around my head and one would fly 50' to go and sting a co worker hahahaha. So in celebration of our little Honey Makers I'll just leave you with this my Brothers and Sisters......Bee Safe and Bee Kind !!! Oh yeah !!! I love the new Wood Man Shirt !!!
I see you guys climbing with spikes on a prune job. I've always heard and was taught that its a big no no to use them unless you are doing a removal. What's your insight on that?
It's terrible practice. Could have avoided all the bees if he had just ascended up the tree without spikes. But if that's all you know that's the only way you can do it. Lack of education, but whatever. I kind of enjoy watching them spiking around.
I live in Connecticut I was told that you got fined if you prune with spikes on boss was probably lying to me I didn't use spikes even if I was doing a removal intil I got to trunk then had ground man send them up unless it was a ever green then I would spike climbing is becoming a lost art with all these Arial lifts small enough to get through gates and go up 90 ft
Buckin are you joking me?! That shirt is my all time favourite one just got stand up and buck my first one and now I’m going to have to get that one and cut the sleeves off hehe
He did a video on it a while ago saying it doesn’t damage the trees all that much especially in big firs. I don’t agree with that however. For how great buckin is I just don’t think he’s comfortable climbing ropes.
Bucking why are you pruning with spurs on. You have a following of people that take your word for gospel and will think that it is alright to spur on none removals. I understand that you have years of experience but you must know that it is not right
I remember seeing one of his videos about spurring up firs. I believe he thinks it doesn’t damage the tree. He went back to a job a couple heats later to show how the spur marks healed up. I completely disagree however the harm has less of an impact on these big firs. Billy if one of the best climbers that I’ve learned from with regards to spur climbing and saw work but I dont think he’s comfortable with rope climbing.
City won't let you cut them but probably also won't help you out if they fall on your house🤷♂️
Does the city let you remove hazardous dead or dying trees?
Buckin' you and this channel have been an inspiration to me. I have been dragging my feet down the wrong path in my life, quite miserably too. I will start a new job as of tomorrow, working with trees. I love being outside and am quite excited although it has been very hard to change what I am doing after so long.

Those views never get old from up high.. Spent several years roofing on the island back in the day so beautiful!!
the laugh at the end is hilarious.... those bees got you moving!
Perfect time for a Battery saw if I saw one. On-off-on-off... trim/trim/trim Wow what a job. Wish you were here. Such is life.
“Ahh This might not work” 😬 happy you’re not allergic when you were passing by you should of showed them the “Bee Kind” shirt 🐝

That was pretty good sign-language at the end there Buckin'. I could plainly understand "Oh crap, bees!"
Good stuff Buckin! I get into bees ever summer, so it's funny to see someone else get hit , hahaha 😂. That Ganges is a heck of a Han! Keep up the good work 💪
Thanks for bringing us along Never gets old hanging out with you in the trees!
I gotta say, you’re different amongst the old school in terms of newer gear, some things you adopted, some things you didn’t like. But at the end of the day you still have it a shot, lotta guys I work with won’t even look at a newer style of gear.

Been watching your videos for years . You incorporate your son and he is fantastic . Shirt is cool " i am a beast " Facial expression work well .
I don’t think I would want to fight bees while hanging in the tree, unless I knew those Kung Fu moves you were using Buckin !! 😳
Buckin using a rope with a spliced eye I love it save your back and keep climbing you sir are a machine I love it how's the heat lately
Buckin', after three years, +/- of bein' a sub, I got my answer about bees! Nice you weren't swarmed like I was, roofin' in North Carolina after my Army service. 😂🐝❗️

I'm in Illinois and we have baldface hornets , I think they make the big paper nest's ! Another reason I hope to do more climbing in cold season !

Nothing is more dangerous then honeyebees

Congrats from an italian beekeeper
I'm glad you are ok buckin!! I know how that feels.
Strange that's usually when most of us scream like a little girl 😆 you were quiet as a mouse.

Quiet = Focused 💯✅🪵❤️

Hi Billy! This is the most fun video ever! ^_^ ))) Thank you ! )))
uncle buckin', you never take a swing a bees, that just makes them more mad!
Hogan needs to climb more with the gopro, i enjoy seeing his perspective on things when he’s up there
How far from fuquay varina are you? I'm a new climber and would like a mentor. I have a good career but treework is my passion
Love watching these videos especially young hogan becoming a fine climber! Would love too climb with the two of you! Aaahhh I heard hogan say silky!! I started using that handsaw a while ago!

My goodness.. It must have been one of those times where you wish you could speak to bees and ask them to be kind. lol I’m glad to see that you’re OK
Those bees just haven’t seen the channel before. Not sure I would want to be above them either.
Nice job! I get all nervous when you guys are at the top in small wood. Do you get nervous watching Hogan's footage? Bees!! Errrr. Have a nice day
Nice job guys 😎🐝🐝
That was the best ending ever my wife said what's going on I laughed so loud.........

GREAT VIDEO BUCKIN BEEE KIND
I see you guys climbing with spikes on a prune job. I've always heard and was taught that its a big no no to use them unless you are doing a removal. What's your insight on that?
Agreed
Was wondering about that as well
It's terrible practice. Could have avoided all the bees if he had just ascended up the tree without spikes. But if that's all you know that's the only way you can do it. Lack of education, but whatever. I kind of enjoy watching them spiking around.
Yeh I just commented on that cos I was told that leaving spike holes in a tree can open the tree up to pests and disease
I live in Connecticut I was told that you got fined if you prune with spikes on boss was probably lying to me I didn't use spikes even if I was doing a removal intil I got to trunk then had ground man send them up unless it was a ever green then I would spike climbing is becoming a lost art with all these Arial lifts small enough to get through gates and go up 90 ft
Wow. That is some very dangerous work no doubt. Close to the door of death up there in those tops.
Sorry you got stung bucking but I was laughing my ass off
I lost it on the Elmer Fudd impression.
That is no fun for sure. I don't fool around with bees, I guarantee I would swell up like no tomorrow and be saying "Hello doctor!"
the bee attack was hilarious hahaha
Buckin are you joking me?!
That shirt is my all time favourite one just got stand up and buck my first one and now I’m going to have to get that one and cut the sleeves off hehe
ya buddy
Going to have to check out the shirt.
Reminds me of the time I got lit up by yellow jackets. Those suckers got stuck in my hair.
spikes in a prune tree? I would really like your input on spiking up a tree you plan to keep.
I was just thinking the same thing you cant be certified in the states and use spikes to prune. Big fine!!
He did a video on it a while ago saying it doesn’t damage the trees all that much especially in big firs. I don’t agree with that however. For how great buckin is I just don’t think he’s comfortable climbing ropes.

Yup… my first thought also.
