This guy is like Bob Ross on caffeine. I just found this channel and, friends, I'm hooked. I cut a lot of wood so this is helpful with the tips and techniques. Amazing how he works so hard and fast and doesn't even break a sweat.
That, and he steps you through his thought process and explains what he's doing. Excitable dude to be sure, but patient and nice about what he's doing.
I can’t believe how he was able to steer that tree in the opposite direction of the way it was leaning. That’s nuts. Lots of experience pays off👍 Pretty amazing to me😄 Dropped it exactly where he said he wanted to put it.
Bucking, i have watched every one of your videos, some over and over, i have learnt so much from you. i think, out of all the advice you have shared, there's one piece of advice that has just stuck in my head, and i feel is the one most important of all, and that's when you say "i am not in a rush, i am at peace" this one peice of advice has changed my whole approach to cutting trees down. youre a top bloke Bucking...
I don't have an ounce of knowledge and experience you do but, the Husky instructional videos I watched (lol) when I bought my new 460 Rancher to drop a bunch of leaners on the property, they recommended a bore cut just to see if it was rotten in the middle. Thanks for educating us green horns, could save a life or property. I appreciate your calm, collected, calculating demeanor, makes sense. I often put a rope on and pull them down with my old 73 Ford. You da Man!
My BSA chainsaw instructor taught to always bore through anything over (10"?) before felling the tree, He had a few good looking trees explode on him from rot and made it a personal safety protocol to do so. He is alive today because of it That is & was his message. ... Just saying ...
@@michaelpcooksey5096 I agree... There's really no way of knowing where the strength that's holding the tree is at without a peek. Plenty of disastrous oak trees full of rot that have given way and split up the trunk where no one was cutting. Problem I'm seeing if pent up stress from hurricanes causing trees to do the exact opposite of what it looked like they were trying to do. Piney woods East of Houston and actually seeing figured white oak like a maple flame and quilt grain patterns.
@@michaelpcooksey5096 yeah no. Years as a choker setter/buncher/feller then tree service resi n commercial...... no. You may go too far and make your felling dangerous. The knowledge of rot comes with years of experience
@@babiesfartingfire6007 I’ve seen several trees that look 100% but after cutting there all rotten. A small poke would give you the info. Even a long narrow drill bit would tell you what is going on.
@@michaelpcooksey5096 Thanks for that! I know most Cedars are rotten in the middle and soft, I will proceed with caution! I wear my nice orange chaps if i'm going to do much chainsaw work too, Billy doesn't, lol.
The positivity you radiate is awesome. There is so much to learn in your videos, not just about tree work but about being calm, thinking through problems, and being a good person. We need more people like you. Keep it up!
That was truly craftsmanship. With all that lean and where you wanted to put the tree it's amazing you didn't even have to stack wedges. I can see why you decided to go ahead though because while there was a hole in the heart it had some good wood left for wedging. Great to see a pro felling timber like this.
Buckin, your expertise and willingness to not only share technique but your thinking makes these videos a masterclass for those who will also pick up a saw tp fell trees. For me, it always makes me both nervous and thrilled to watch your conscientious methods. Thanks for sharing
That was a great piece of work. I'd have bet my house that dropping the tree where you did was impossible. Just shows what can be achieved by someone with the right combination of knowledge and brains.
Hey Buckin’ No problems, only solutions! This video has it all. Why would anyone want to skip parts of your video. So much valuable information to be learned. Thanks for explaining your thoughts and process in taking that tree down . Stay safe, be kind and love always wins ❤️🪓🪵✊🏻
Billy really explained his thought process in great detail ... which is what the audience needs to understand in order to put Arborist felling techniques. WELL DONE Billy !!!
Wow, that was beautiful. You had as much control as is ever possible with a twisted number like that...skill+preparation = success. It even laid down gently. Incredible. Great job!!!
New subscriber here. Love me the Bushqvarnas, Macs and Canuck Ford trucks! Exactly what I have owned and used in B.C. Love and respect friend! Dennis in Redding , Commiefornia... 😎
That was pretty damn impressive Buckin. It is incredible the amount of force those wedgies added. I definitely learned something in this one. Thanks for the great content as always.
Excellent evaluation. Knowing were the tree wanted fall by itself and yet also knowing what to do and how to do it to make the tree fall the way you wanted it to fall by making the tree's weight and structural circumstances work to your advantage. Using a plunge cut and wedges for lifting. Very impressive. Taking your time and working for the results.
My BSA chainsaw instructor from a northern area lumber company had GOOD LOOKING trees explode on him from rotten wood. Afterwards he made it a personal safety step to bore cut every tree he dropped over a certain diameter (10"?). He lived through the experiences & recommends that practice to everyone he teaches. Billy, you tend to get a little wild, but your thinking things through in a nice humble way here. Glad to see it. Great job & video. Glad you survived the impulsive years loaded with MACHO. God Bless
@word salad The bore cut is the 'plunge' cut. Its when you plunge the chainsaw blade directly into the tree stem instead of using the long sides to cut it down. Technique is needed so you tilt the saw bar so ONLY the bottom of the tip engages the wood and gently pushing it you can rotate it until the bar is at 90 degrees to the tree... at which point you can simply bore through to most of the length of the bar. Danger here without technique is the newbie initially engages the top tip of the bar instead of the bottom. This can quickly cause the bar to snap back toward your head ... short bars in particular can do this, the long bars may kick back but the tip and weight of the bar will give much more control. I was told to always stiff arm a plunge / bore cut so it would not rotate but kick the entire arm and saw up and away.
I've got goosebumps you could sand the floor with Buckin.. Wow! The mountains you move with a wedge just blows my mind. Back here in Missouri only trees I bore cut are, anything Walnut, some white oak(if she's leaning hard),, or just like the situation you had goin on right there. I've been watching for a week or so and I'm hooked. Your message is strong, your faith in family, community, and friends is what keeps your heart strong and true. Yes sir, It may take a bit to catch up on the videos but I'll watch EVERY last one. I inherited a stihl from my dad. (080 super 40" bar) 10 years before I could lift it off the ground and mom lost it in a pawn shop for $50. Very sad what other people's addictions cost the innocent. You've made made me laugh, cry, smile, swear, and oil down the handle on my double bit Keen Kutter. (I split wood with one side and can skin a deer with the other). Thank you friend, and many thanks to your wonderful family for the support they give to you. I'll be out here watching and learning with each video. Many blessing to you and all those you hold dear in your life. Almost forgot, back in late 69.....I might not have been 11lbs +, but mom was 18. I tried to hit the ground running but waited a week or so to long. Last 30 miles to the hospital i was hanging out to my knees and it has caused some issues later on for both of us. I hope you read this and understand how much your channel and your message mean to 53 year old skidder flea(JD440A). Just call me Lucky. From the Ozarks of central Missouri. Much love Brother.
nice job, thank you. been felling trees on my properties in the Cariboo for years but i always try to remember how unpredictable every tree is and try to learn more from every experience and people like you.
Done in one afternoon what took me three months with chains and ropes to achieve with a fishpoison tree which wanted to end the roof of the house. The driving lessons given on this and some other youtube vision was an incredible help in getting the tree down safely. I wimped out in drawing the cut line with the saw. I cheated and wrapped tape around the trunk and cut through that. Thank you for your time and effort in filming these presentations.
We pulled an old widow maker oak over with a come along and a cable. Took about 6 months to get it. it was up on a bank, no where to go if it went wrong while cutting it. patience always wins. couple cranks on it every week finally showed it who the master was.
This is brilliant Buckin your expertise and teaching method is 2nd to none. I have learnt so much here I would never personally contemplate using. A man needs to recognise his limitations otherwise he may court disaster. Greetings from Tasmania, home of Eucalypt regnans, 'Centurion' - stands at 99.6m in the Arve Valley, land of OZ .
Absolutely awe struck. I've worked tree service....... light removal and trim. I wouldn't have even thought about trying a tree in that condition. YOU ARE A MASTER fine sir. The most impressive thing I have seen in tree felling!
Un-F'ing Believable! The physics of that tree were screaming NO WAY- but you put it RIGHT where you said you wanted it! We all bow down- "We're not worthy!" Another FANTASTIC video!
I enjoyed this guy showing himself and explaining what he is doing. Not like Mr Tall Guy videos where is seldom talks and afraid to show himself. He said I was nagging just asking to show his face. Haha.Ty for this video. I learned a lot. Shout-out from Michigan USA ❤. I am 83 and still love outdoor videos. Thanks again.❤ Good job 👍
Buckin TH-cam needs a double triple like button thank you so much for the willingness to share and patience really love the videos keep it up and God bless !!
Working my way to follow this passion that I resently reingnited after loads of years of wondering lost. I'm learning loads of good stuff. From your newfound channel. Hope you and your family are well! And thank you!
Man, this is my lucky day for sure... About to start up for the winter down in Texas. You didn't roll it, you just encouraged it to fall exactly how you wanted it to fall. That's really impressive! 👏🏼👏🏼✝️✝️✝️
Finesse!!! Is a what makes your skill stand out! Transformed to the art of your craft.Genuine man with a true evident passion for what you do! Thank you for adding so much good honest content that this platform needs. That was some excellent instruction . Thanks Buckin for everything
I am watching all of your videos because this upcoming summer my husband will be down with surgery recovery, so dropping the firewood will be my job. This has helped me so much!
Thanks Buckin. I just love the explanation and goodness sakes the tools just keep hitting home. Great wedgmanship. Too bad about the axe getting cut. Bet she's good as new again. Love ya brother. Great to see pops again and leather and steel. Thank you 🌲❤🌲✊🪓
Truly amazing skills! When I saw that leaning rotten tree and saw the direction you were planning to fell it I thought that’s impossible but you did the impossible 🍻
Thanks for the lesson. Glad I found your channel. I wish I'd of known this before I knocked the power out to 500 of my neighbors a few moons back. It only brushed up against the wires, shot sparks everywhere and blew a fuse down the road, it didn't pull the lines down. The power guy said, "meh, it happens". I bucked that sucker out of the road before any cars came by and carried on. I'm learning to have patience. That's very important is what I'm getting here.
Wild. The combination of cuts, wedges and holding wood, all together to steer the tree. Its like he left just the perfect amount of hinge in the perfect location, in combination with everything else. I see how this can take a long time to master and know all the appropriate decisions for a particular tree
As an east coast guy, I'm impressed. I never would have thought the rotten softwood would hold that extra second. I know you don't like the bore cut however in white oak and ash it's a needed skill. Your chain is filed almost exclusively for softwood and if it were put to a dead ash tree in a bore cut you would be holding on for dear life. Nice job friend keep the positive vibes flowing. Peace out!
You are a god on the ground my friend, your climbing is interesting to a 'new school' climber but my man no one can argue with your felling. always super impressive
Amazing that a couple of tiny wedges can push a big tree against such a hard lean. I kept expecting the whole thing to break off in the opposite direction. Well done, sir.
It’s amazing what a little wedge can do for a fell. I had a 70 ft red oak a year or so ago that had me scared. I studied it for two days before I touched it with a saw. Got my wedge done, then my back cut. The rascal just stood there, mocking me. Then I slid the all powerful wedge into my back cut to add a little directional help. Snap, crackle and pop, she was on the ground. My wood heater loves it!! All the best!!
I learn something new with every one these videos that is made. Watched this a couple times so far. Thank you for all the videos and teachings you share with us.
Man, love your videos! Recently acquire some coastal property in Oregon, BIG Sitkas and Hemlock. I really appreciate the time you take to explain and all of the techniques you use, and to NOT get excited. Keep on going! and if you're in Oregon, come on out and help me take down about 30-40 big Sitkas.
Thanks for the knowledge injection, much appreciated. Also, cannot describe the shivers I get from the sound of those Mac's... I grew up with them in the 70's as my parents developed land into farming production here in NZ, and I'd forgotten how their sound stood out from the other saw's. Love your work.
Buck-n , it's been awhile, hello from Alaska. Good job, I would have roped it to save my bacon, then did the same you did. I still use a safety line because , I don't have your experience. .., who does. Nice work, and that broken handle had me laughing my head off, owe and it broke the wedge, ah ha.😄. I dropped one like this heading for my brothers brand new house, I used a steel splitting wedge to bring it over, finished cutting my back cut and did the rest with the steel wedge knowing I had to keep the rest for strength, I could feel the pressure on that steel wedge , finally she came over. .. My Brother later did the same with another tree and lost it and had to repair his roof overhang and some siding, I wish I was there to help him. Glad no one got hurt.. On mine, I did not use a rope (back then) but I should have. . Liv'n and Learning, a huge lesson here is to slow down and give yourself time to think and adjust your decisions as you go. Good job Buck'n , to those that watched this for the 1st buck'n video..ah ha, you got to watch some more, this guy is good. Thanks Buck'n and Hello to your Son for me, well Everyone! from Alaska. Keep slam'n buddy, I'm Proud of your Truckers, tell them Thanks from Alaska. "Freedom!". Nice Place you guys have there, real nice, and Good Teamwork, Good Family. Side note; your comment I agree with regarding the plunge...over used and this here tree, is when it is used well, I agree with your comments alot, you got my Thunder, like I said years ago , We are alot alike. Thanks for Another Good one.. Carry on
The reminder of I’m not in a hurry is great. I have made some bad mistakes because I get scared and nervous. Then I hurry. Then trees in the power lines. This man is a tree surgeon.
Wow! That was impressive. I continue to learn more and more as I watch your channel. Your passion about life is contagious. Keep up the great content and thank you for your honesty and candour
This guy is like Bob Ross on caffeine. I just found this channel and, friends, I'm hooked. I cut a lot of wood so this is helpful with the tips and techniques. Amazing how he works so hard and fast and doesn't even break a sweat.
bob ross meets crocodile hunter but with a chainsaw. its beautiful
That, and he steps you through his thought process and explains what he's doing. Excitable dude to be sure, but patient and nice about what he's doing.
That's hilarious ! A very good description. Like me some Buckin Billy Ray !
It’s amazing to watch people that have absolutely mastered their craft, you are the magician of felling trees!
I can’t believe how he was able to steer that tree in the opposite direction of the way it was leaning. That’s nuts. Lots of experience pays off👍 Pretty amazing to me😄 Dropped it exactly where he said he wanted to put it.

it took me a while to learn this ,, but was beatin' into me ,, literally , thx
BY FAR-
Sketchiest tree I ever saw you fell !!!
You're still the MASTER !
GREAT WORK, Billy Ray !
Nothing like sitting back and watchin Buckin drop a tree. Educational and relaxing all in one, keep at it Buckin, that was a hell of a cut.

Great technical felling. I always enjoy what I learn from your videos.
That was pretty damn impressive Buckin. It is incredible the amount of force those wedgies added. I definitely learned something in this one. Thanks for the great content as always.

So interesting watching you work through unexpected challenges, the rotten core. Thanks for talking us through your method!
More climbing vids I've got lots to learn from you still!
Great Cut Billy nice video. Liked how you took your time Yes! it's a WIN
My BSA chainsaw instructor from a northern area lumber company had GOOD LOOKING trees explode on him from rotten wood.

I’m a novice and been cutting my own trees to clear some land. So much to learn. That was a master class in felling. Awesome.
Excellent execution, total control, level head and superb explanation throughout the process.
Respect and thanks for sharing
Well i never would have believed it had I not seen it. Brilliant video Billy 🇬🇧
I was on the edge of my seat for that one ! Outstanding job sir! 👍✌🤓
Master class! Love how you had it balanced, then tipped the balance all cuts in the money. Will watch this one more than once, lol.

Perfect wedgemanshiip.....Tickled the cut! Forced that tree to fall in an unnatural direction.....great cuttin Buckin!
That was a awesome tree cutting lesson Billy, man you are right on with what you do. Take care, be safe!
Superb instructions! You should start a felling school! That tree was huge, and you convinced it to do you wanted it to do!!
Buckin you have done a masterful job sr. Nice and calm. Cool and collected. Very well done. The man. The myth. The legend.
Salute to you sir and I agree you are definitely one of the best I've seen my friend! Love ya brother hope you and the family are well
@ 25:00 I CAN imagine the work those two wedges are doing!! Jeepers!! That was as impressive as it was informative, my friend!!
Love the way you take your time to explain everything.

Just… wow… that drop was perfect and that tree was absolutely rotten… great skill!
One man with this amount of skill. I am certain this was real but it is hard to believe. You have SKILLS. Thank you for sharing.
Truly amazing skills! When I saw that leaning rotten tree and saw the direction you were planning to fell it I thought that’s impossible but you did the impossible 🍻
Thanks for the lesson. Glad I found your channel. I wish I'd of known this before I knocked the power out to 500 of my neighbors a few moons back.

you are an artist
Wild. The combination of cuts, wedges and holding wood, all together to steer the tree. Its like he left just the perfect amount of hinge in the perfect location, in combination with everything else. I see how this can take a long time to master and know all the appropriate decisions for a particular tree
I never skip because I am at peace therefore no need to hurry! Great job Billy .
That was top-notch cutting. I learned so much from this video, thanks a lot Billy.
As an east coast guy, I'm impressed. I never would have thought the rotten softwood would hold that extra second. I know you don't like the bore cut however in white oak and ash it's a needed skill. Your chain is filed almost exclusively for softwood and if it were put to a dead ash tree in a bore cut you would be holding on for dear life. Nice job friend keep the positive vibes flowing. Peace out!
The decimation of the Ash has sure been a sad thing to have to participate in... they were beautiful trees, as were the elm of my youth.
That was totally frickin amazing!
What a talent!!
Skill beyond belief!!!
This is what I want to see. Cutting the difficult ones the hard way so we can see what is possible
That was real tree man stuff there. Patients and knowledge prevailed.
Wow Bucking! That was an awesome video lesson there. Loved it. Makes me smile when I see the ole man too. 👍🇦🇺
You are a god on the ground my friend, your climbing is interesting to a 'new school' climber but my man no one can argue with your felling. always super impressive
Amazing that a couple of tiny wedges can push a big tree against such a hard lean. I kept expecting the whole thing to break off in the opposite direction. Well done, sir.
It’s amazing what a little wedge can do for a fell. I had a 70 ft red oak a year or so ago that had me scared. I studied it for two days before I touched it with a saw. Got my wedge done, then my back cut. The rascal just stood there, mocking me. Then I slid the all powerful wedge into my back cut to add a little directional
help. Snap, crackle and pop, she was on the ground. My wood heater loves it!! All the best!!
What a fabulous video Billy. Great skill and thank you for explaining the technique to us all. Brilliant!!
I learn something new with every one these videos that is made. Watched this a couple times so far. Thank you for all the videos and teachings you share with us.
Superb shot there, Buckin! Thank you for all the excellent content, especially super-educational ones like this. You are an inspirational Woodman.
so clever.. that was quite a lean.. and with rotten wood in the centre its a bigger challenge. well played mister! truly amazing stuff 👌👊
Damn that felt so good to watch. Thank you so much for that awesome demonstration
Man, love your videos! Recently acquire some coastal property in Oregon, BIG Sitkas and Hemlock. I really appreciate the time you take to explain and all of the techniques you use, and to NOT get excited. Keep on going! and if you're in Oregon, come on out and help me take down about 30-40 big Sitkas.
Thank you for taking us with you.
Awesome job Billy. I knew u would get her right where u wanted beutiful
Thanks for the knowledge injection, much appreciated. Also, cannot describe the shivers I get from the sound of those Mac's... I grew up with them in the 70's as my parents developed land into farming production here in NZ, and I'd forgotten how their sound stood out from the other saw's. Love your work.
I love watching the time you spend on the scarf. It possibly the most important part of a successful fell
Nice job! Amazing what wedges and knowledge can do without rigging.
YOU DIDN'T TOOK ANY CHANCE, YOU PERFECTLY KNEW HOW TO DO IT. YOU ARE A SNIPER LUMBERJACK. BRAVO
Buckin your old trucks are awesome but nothing beats that OBS 7.3 of your dad's. Best truck Ford ever made!!
So much confidence in knowing your wood.👍
Appreciate your videos! Thanks for your positive words! We have to power to uplift someone today!
Ur a badass man, I do tree work out in Ontario but ur videos are just a totally different level 🤘🏻😂
Nicely done Buckin. Patience is a virtue.
Buck-n , it's been awhile, hello from Alaska.
Good job, I would have roped it to save my bacon, then did the same you did. I still use a safety line because , I don't have your experience. .., who does. Nice work, and that broken handle had me laughing my head off, owe and it broke the wedge, ah ha.😄. I dropped one like this heading for my brothers brand new house, I used a steel splitting wedge to bring it over, finished cutting my back cut and did the rest with the steel wedge knowing I had to keep the rest for strength, I could feel the pressure on that steel wedge , finally she came over. .. My Brother later did the same with another tree and lost it and had to repair his roof overhang and some siding, I wish I was there to help him. Glad no one got hurt..
On mine, I did not use a rope (back then) but I should have. . Liv'n and Learning, a huge lesson here is to slow down and give yourself time to think and adjust your decisions as you go. Good job Buck'n , to those that watched this for the 1st buck'n video..ah ha, you got to watch some more, this guy is good. Thanks Buck'n and Hello to your Son for me, well Everyone! from Alaska.
Keep slam'n buddy, I'm Proud of your Truckers, tell them Thanks from Alaska. "Freedom!". Nice Place you guys have there, real nice, and Good Teamwork, Good Family.
Side note; your comment I agree with regarding the plunge...over used and this here tree, is when it is used well, I agree with your comments alot, you got my Thunder, like I said years ago , We are alot alike. Thanks for Another Good one..
Carry on
As always, Brother, a great teaching moment. That look on your face, of deep contemplation, was super intense. Great work, Buckin'!
thx
Over here across the pond we’d say, Billy knows his onions.
A man in his element and at one with himself.
That was fantastic!! Love the way you share your knowledge with such enthusiasm. Very impressive!
The reminder of I’m not in a hurry is great. I have made some bad mistakes because I get scared and nervous. Then I hurry. Then trees in the power lines. This man is a tree surgeon.
Wow Love your vids Buckin 😁
That was impressive how you deal with a problem Tree, amazing how you got that Tree away from those Oaks😁👍👍👍
Our Hero, BBR! Loved the ‘splainin’!
