I've learned so much in the last month being a new subscriber to this channel about axes, saws, sharpening different chains and felling trees.. And life lessons. Grateful to have found your channel friend.
I love those old trucks. I had a blue one like yours it was lifted a little with a 429 cobra jet motor. Its was a hoss. I wish I would've never got in a bind for money or I'd still have it today.
Buckin Billy Ray... The technique of you using the ax to pick up split logs so you don't have to bend over as much or as often... That's my goal next year I'm going to sharpen my axes up and I'm going to become a junior Billy Ray... That's it that's my goal I'm going to impress my sons when we split wood together... Thanks Billy Ray for all that you show us..
I live in Tasmania and loved hearing your thoughts on Australian wood and why it generates good axe design and strong woodcutters. Thank you buckin'. You're a woodman through and through.
That 67 Ford truck is quite a buddy. It does just about anything you ask of it. This video has completely changed my thinking about older truck not able to do very heavy , heavy work. Your Ford truck is something else, it's a workhorse. I don't know if a 67 Chevy truck could handle that load, because their frames and drive train weren't very tough until 87. I was a truck frame repairman for over 33 years. God bless.
Tell Windy and Rita I love them too, and would to see more of them. I love Hogan also and would love to see more of him. Great blessing to all of you. Franko
Missouri here I used to come out of woods like that everyday heard the Ujoint love that truck she’s a beauty needs west coast mirrors and heavy duty bumpers with shackles on them
Love your channel I understand multiple saws in the woods but honestly I lol @ 7 axe's when you loaded up your hard worker keep it up passing the love around
Jeez Buckin’!!! You make splitting look so easy. Around here, we have a lot of hardwood Ash that are dying off and bazillions have been cut down. Trying to split that stuff needs a good axe, a couple of good wedges and a stout sledgehammer. Absolutely love the ol’ Ford. Nothing works like a Ford Eh!!
I know I'm always jealous watching him split that Fer I'm on the east coast USA an we ash is one of the easier woods i find to split well its all dead nowadays. I actually took down a live ash a few weeks ago an felt bad but it was in a bad spot an customer wanted it down but oak, maple ,hickory Lucas is all hard splitting your right about needing a Vera of tools to hand split around here. I want to try a Taz head tho. I looks like it would work well on are hardwoods
I love your video .. honestly I love wood hauling since I was a small boy . Hauling with my father . Getting a overload like that . Great message to me great motivational speech..
the gas can hanging on the axe handle was like the hood ornament on a classic car... really finishes off the load! Man that Ford looks good loaded to the hilt!

Good morning, Billy. I hope you're doing well and enjoying your day. Stay safe and warm out there, and keep those saws running.
The way Buckin loads up his bed at the end of the video tells you something about him. What an amazing job - he doesn't go home til he's given 110%. What a treat the Hiboy is in action, thanks Buckin!
Seen you were beat in the last video. A man knows when he sees his fellow man at the end of his rope. Good on you for staying in it. That’s what we do.
Good video brother !! RAW firewood gathering at its finest ... home place of Tasmania got a mention too 👌 would like to see More of this style of video
The DB with a 36 inch handle - this is where the magic started. Nothing beats the DB when the wood is good and the blade is swinging with momentum. Different blades for different wood, but when the wood is good the DB is a magic tool.
I used to split 60" old growth Sugar Pine with a double bit axe. Those hooters had 70' of clear. The limbs were 10" in diameter. I used a Stihl 090 back in the early 80s. I miss those days. I love your channel and your attitude.
I bust knot's down, but this Texas wood doesn't bust that easy it's real dense wood here, froze in the winter here helps a lot. If you here a ting move on but if you hear that thud get it. Lol. Like your videos helping out folks that's just getting started in life. Love the Old Ford.
Man Buddy ole Buckin, You guys have such beautiful forest! I wish we had Doug Fir's like you guys. We have nasty old Chicken tree's or some call it a china ball tree. its really good for litterly nothing. We also have a lot of those tall skiny pines. We have oaks and good stuff too. But In in abundance. You guys forest seem so clean on the floor. Not all brushy and clogged where you can't walk threw it. Love the videos, keep them coming.
Watching you and smoky and the bandit splitting wood with an axe is very rewarding my grandson is amazed how the wood flies apart he’s learning with a six lb maul if good splitting wood I use Grandpas double bit axe well used too I’m in wheelchair now had a calcified disc get in spinal cord lost my legs so now use log splitter sucks
Gnarly Aussie Wood - the twisted Blue Gum - we have them here too. Its a hell of a thing working through a cord of that stuff when its twisted and gnarled.
Love how methodical you are with every task you perform. This is the first video I actually witnessed you getting tired. However, you know your limitations,& switched axes. Here I thought you were Superman lol, but you’re definitely human, just like the rest of us. Take care of yourself, stay safe,& healthy friend.💯❤️👍🏾😀🙋🏽♀️✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
Faster than a speeding bullet!!! More powerful than a locomotive!! Able to leap tall trees in a single bound!!! Splits wood faster than the best splitter around!! AMAZING!! Ok, so I am jealous.. lol. Be well, be safe everyone.
That double-bit axe is glorious, I want one so badly but where I live I have no need for one because it's not cold. The only time I need such a tool is when I go camping with friends, and for that, a hatchet is enough. It is what it is.
You make everything look so easy. From cutting to splitting to wheeling it in the truck. You have some trick shots there. 😮 Your cardio is great to that stuff will test your cardio real quick. I'm jealous. I did learn something from watching you hitting the log from the outer edge cracks far easier then going for the center especially on the big ones. I had some big logs and cracked it from the outside and just kept circling the log wow much much faster and far easier. I always did center first. I'm happy I saw how you do it. Man you split faster then I can with my log splitter 😳
I had a '69 Ford F250 2wd. One weekend my dad and I were down to the woods cutting fire wood. we had the truck loaded up to the top of the cab. Started it up and it would idle jus t fine. As soon as you touched the gas, it would stall. And there was a strong smell of gas. I opened the hood and found gas spraying out the bottom of the fuel pump like water out of a shower head. There is a can type fuel filter screwed on the bottom of the pump. The bottom of the can, rusted out. I filled a baby food jar with gas and sat up under the hood. My dad drove. Every time the truck would start to stall, I spilled some gas in the carb. It was only 1/2 hecktic mile home. Sure glad it didn't backfire.
Buckin, your videos have inspired me. You are a blessed soul and the way you spread your love through these videos is awesome. You have peaked my interest in vintage saws and the old ways. Can’t wait for the next one
What an inspiring video. To go out and become one with your axes. The calming and relaxing sound to the axe tearing into the wood. Then the silence is consumed with the rip of a chainsaw. Love it. I’m headed north next week to do some of the same. Thanks buckin for all that you do and teach.
Buckin’ is a real natural with swinging an axe. I have seen different folks pick up an axe and come close to really messing themselves up. It takes some time to get that good.
Good afternoon my friend hope all is well with you and your family also whoever is doing your editing is doing a good job also thank you for sharing your knowledge and information on your journey throw life
When you tossed those saws up on the top of the pile of wood, I thought to myself, "He surely ain't gonna drive off with those saws up there!!!". Plunge cutting them into the pile is a real sweet trick!! Wow.
I'm from New Zealand, I have a Tuatahi work axe ( I thing Hogan has one) I've been to Canada..your trees are different to ours, taller, tighter rings, less branches ..your old growth north facing forests are a thing of beauty. ...we never have easy wood like Buckin is chopping ..I'd kill for that wood. ..ours is old man pine ..knotty. You're right about chopping competitions ..when I was a kid ... no more than 8-10 I remember seeing World champ Sonny Bolstad win a standing cut with as huge handicap. He was killed when a skidder or something rolled on him ..he was 51.
Awesome Video Buckin!! I have learned SO much from you!! I love how you show the entire range from cutting to splitting to loading your truck! Thank You!! And keep up the great videos!!
Welp, I did it today.. got my left leg with the Husky... new chain as well. One day I'll learn. Love that pick-up truck Buck. I want that cruiser, gonna have to buy it from ya bud.
Love how positive you always are !!! I never thought I would get so much happiness cutting wood and hopping up hot saws!!!!! Never stop making videos billy, you put a smile on my face everyday!!!!
Notice that when that saw kicked back ( kicked him pretty good too ) at 14:10 he was totally ready for it. You gotta be at all times or you gonna get hurt. There's a lesson to be learned here for you fellers just gettin started runnin a power saw!
Hey, buddy! Sending love from Canada. Just recently found your channel and now I'm hooked. Great content and I love your perspective on life. You're a working class hero. We should have people like you in classrooms as guest speakers motivating our kids in this direction.
Buckin, You know your equipment. Your saws are awesome, just like your axes, and that 67 highboy is a truck to be had. My brother has a 72 highboy that is wrecked. I always admired that truck. 360, 4 speed, divorce mounted transfercase and dana 60's. He bought it new. I have never seen many like them.
Awesome video Buckin' Your endurance splitting those rounds is impressive! I read years ago that Douglas Fir has the density and btu equivalent of many hardwoods such as maple and oak. The TinMan 266 seemed to cut through that fir the way a well broken in 562XP would cut through a maple out here on the east coast. Once you run 5 or 10 tanks of fuel through it, I bet you'll see a nice difference.
Nice video. Making firewood is a favorite wintertime activity of mine. Our wood doesn't split as nice as yours, though! Most of what I cut is gnarly osage orange out of the pasture or hedgerows.
I am an old bloke from Oz and you are correct that I have a bit of a laugh at how easy some of you wood is to split. Some of our stuff you can only process by backing pieces off the edges.
Yeah nah yeah Rob, was wacking some tallowood with a block spitter and every bit of her too and split a piece off in the same time n sweat hes done a round. Gotta go eat now. Cheers mate.
Great informative video and watching all the different ways you do things is fun to watch. Since finding you on TH-cam I have enjoyed all the videos you put out. Be safe and keep those videos coming.
I've learned so much in the last month being a new subscriber to this channel about axes, saws, sharpening different chains and felling trees..

Grateful to have found your channel friend.
@@MATT.MAN-PEACE-LOVE I have! Thanks again!
👍👍
First time to watch your channel. Can't wait to look at some past videos.
67 Hiboy + chainsaw + huge load of firewood = Awesomeness
8 foot bed, fallin off high, full cord, split, one man. Well done
I love those old trucks. I had a blue one like yours it was lifted a little with a 429 cobra jet motor. Its was a hoss. I wish I would've never got in a bind for money or I'd still have it today.
Buckin Billy Ray... The technique of you using the ax to pick up split logs so you don't have to bend over as much or as often...

Thanks Billy Ray for all that you show us..
Best video I’ve seen in a long time. Love that pickup and watching the firewood system. Got some good ideas from this one today. Thanks buckin!
I live in Tasmania and loved hearing your thoughts on Australian wood and why it generates good axe design and strong woodcutters. Thank you buckin'. You're a woodman through and through.

I was a truck frame repairman for over 33 years. God bless.
that explains it ,, ford lost it in around 80 somthing when they started cuttin' holes in the frames
That’s gotta be one of the happiest fords in history. I think Ford himself would be honored to have you driving one of his trucks. God bless.
Tell Windy and Rita I love them too, and would to see more of them. I love Hogan also and would love to see more of him. Great blessing to all of you. Franko
Missouri here I used to come out of woods like that everyday heard the Ujoint love that truck she’s a beauty needs west coast mirrors and heavy duty bumpers with shackles on them
You have already changed my world. Thanks. Franko
The sound of the axe hitting wood is really satisfying, it’s got a echoing cracking smashing sound.
You are a working man! Never seen anyone work an axe like you. All the best to you 🙏
I just got me a 1970 F250 Camper Special XLT, I love it friend. I found this right after your live chat. Glad you’re showing up on my feed again!
Buckin' Billy Ray show'n us how it's done! Awesome skills and hard work. Thanks
Best idea for stacking wood in a truck that has no side rails. Max the load for sure. Great job. Love Franko
Love your channel I understand multiple saws in the woods but honestly I lol @ 7 axe's when you loaded up your hard worker keep it up passing the love around
Jeez Buckin’!!! You make splitting look so easy. Around here, we have a lot of hardwood Ash that are dying off and bazillions have been cut down.

Great message Buckin. Really appreciate the positivity
I love your video .. honestly I love wood hauling since I was a small boy . Hauling with my father . Getting a overload like that . Great message to me great motivational speech..
You're truly an inspiration for some of us who love nature but don't get the opportunity to enjoy it often. Keep up the great content buckin!
Now that’s a full truck I love how you manage to get all your tools to fit as well
As a logger and tree work dude I never thought of a poulan as badass but you've officially changed my mind.
the gas can hanging on the axe handle was like the hood ornament on a classic car... really finishes off the load! Man that Ford looks good loaded to the hilt!
Good morning, Billy. I hope you're doing well and enjoying your day. Stay safe and warm out there, and keep those saws running.
That's One Beautiful Truck.That Colour Suits It Perfectly!!! Big Bad Billy Ray
The way Buckin loads up his bed at the end of the video tells you something about him. What an amazing job - he doesn't go home til he's given 110%. What a treat the Hiboy is in action, thanks Buckin!
welcome friend
That is a dang good lookin truck, and it gets the job done too!
Seen you were beat in the last video. A man knows when he sees his fellow man at the end of his rope. Good on you for staying in it. That’s what we do.

The DB with a 36 inch handle - this is where the magic started. Nothing beats the DB when the wood is good and the blade is swinging with momentum. Different blades for different wood, but when the wood is good the DB is a magic tool.

Watching you and smoky and the bandit splitting wood with an axe is very rewarding my grandson is amazed how the wood flies apart he’s learning with a six lb maul if good splitting wood I use Grandpas double bit axe well used too I’m in wheelchair now had a calcified disc get in spinal cord lost my legs so now use log splitter sucks

Love seeing the old trucks on your channel. Especially when they're doing work.
Warming people up with firewood and love. 🇨🇦❤️

Truck looks good loaded. They always ride so nice and smooth loaded.
More power to you brother and here I’m muffling on using my splitter single wedge splitter
Buckin, your videos have inspired me. You are a blessed soul and the way you spread your love through these videos is awesome. You have peaked my interest in vintage saws and the old ways. Can’t wait for the next one
That is my favorite truck. I need to be doing this today instead of sitting at a desk all day pounding a keyboard.
Nice truck, big load.
What an inspiring video. To go out and become one with your axes. The calming and relaxing sound to the axe tearing into the wood. Then the silence is consumed with the rip of a chainsaw. Love it. I’m headed north next week to do some of the same. Thanks buckin for all that you do and teach.
Neat way to load the truck!
What a load on that truck very next stack
Buckin’ is a real natural with swinging an axe. I have seen different folks pick up an axe and come close to really messing themselves up. It takes some time to get that good.
Great woodchopping video , and that pickup certainly pays it's way . Great video 👍🇬🇧
This video got me excited for tomorrow. That truck is beautiful. Whew!
That truck is “ living its best life” with Buckin! Be well All
That's a good load of firewood that the way I use to haul wood
Great buckin, so close to the ground but not touching it, years of practice makes perfect. Love watching, Franko

When you tossed those saws up on the top of the pile of wood, I thought to myself, "He surely ain't gonna drive off with those saws up there!!!". Plunge cutting them into the pile is a real sweet trick!! Wow.
Shortfused43 l thought he was going to tie them down but he had a better idea.
That was my first truck and loved it

I'm from New Zealand, I have a Tuatahi work axe ( I thing Hogan has one) I've been to Canada..your trees are different to ours, taller, tighter rings, less branches ..your old growth north facing forests are a thing of beauty. ...we never have easy wood like Buckin is chopping ..I'd kill for that wood. ..ours is old man pine ..knotty.
