I just spent half an hour watching a guy I don’t know cut down a tree. And you know what, I don’t regret it all all. Super relaxing and he seems like a genuinely good dude.
How has Discovery Channel not given this man a contract yet?! He is arguably one of the most positive, high energy people I’ve ever watched on TH-cam. I chop hair, not trees but here I am stuck watching this guy for about 2 hours now.
That sounds good and all, but what it means is he would not be able to film his way and not film the content he would want, so basically making money while taking very strict corporate office drones in Hollywood who know nothing about the woods telling him what to do.
I’ve seen inside the discovery deals in the auto industry side of things it’s sickening and it ruins goods people and disco ends up owning you and all your content and life . It’s sickening .
Oh I can agree that television pretty much writes your script after about the 2nd season, or sooner-all I was saying was that this guy is single handedly more entertaining than the whole Pawn Stars crew and whatever other “reality” shows they out on. I’m not at all knocking him for not being on tv, for all I know is DC might have already approached him and he turned it down. I’m just saying as talented as he is, between how well he knows his craft, but he also is a huge personality. The guys is great!
Reminds me of my childhood! I would cut down a tree with a axe when i was angry at parents at the time they were big. ... Now i see a 6or 8 inch stump and wonder if they may have tried to make me angry but at least i got a saw to cut it into firewood!! Billy you make me wana run for the border!! You guys let a oregon welder wana be logger blend in up there?? Ill bring beer...
Tips. First Get your stamina built on smaller trees before Approaching a Larger 2- first start cutting your notch wide then work in, otherwise deflection will take your leg off one day 3- get off the Drugs
I can tell from my own experience just by listening to the sound of the bite that this is some REALLY hard wood (usually the higher the pitch the striking sound makes = the harder the wood). The toughest stuff I've ever tried to chop and bust for firewood was Curly Maple; it took a 5 lbs splitting maul and a 15 lbs sledge just to get it to bite. Then four iron wedges. THAT'S FOR ONE SPLIT. I don't miss that wood, that's for sure.
you know what the secret is to being a tough nice guy or a nice tough guy? Like what you do, like what you do good. Like what other people do good but don't look at other people and want what they have.
Holy moly you weren't kidding about that tree having hard wood!!! I've never used or processed arbutus before... Instructive video and what a great channel
Debatable if it's dead, honestly. But regardless, he also chops through the sapling that was growing off of it in the middle there. So bringing up that its "dead" is pointless now lol
Anyone who's passionate about their hobby as much as this guy is a friend of mine. That little growl he gave when he picked up the last axe was awesome. \Subscribed.
I love your attitude. The handle of your favorite chopping axe splinters like a toothpick and you just carry on. Everything can be repaired, not worth getting upset over. You have a fantastic soul
Find you a ax you that's like this man talking about his axe becuase that will be a good axe maybe, but get yourself a axe. A axe is useful for lots of stuff. And its harder for a axe murder to get you when you have a axe to.
The power with each swing. The camera shakes with each strike sitting on a tripod on the mossy soft forest floor. This man probably measures on near by siesmographs
I always get a rush of adrenaline when falling a tree. It typically lasts through the limbing and most of the blocking depending on the size of the tree.
Case study: why do I, a guy who knows nothing about axes, trees and logging spend 35 minutes watching this? Do guys these days crave going back to simpler times?
I kinds just wana go do it for a little and see if it's easier and or just more real... dont vet me wrong I like this place and all but when I go camping it's the best calming feeling but ends too fast

THANK YOU, For your amazing unique messages. I thought I was watching a man cut down a tree with an axe. Then at 17:37 I am hit with a flood of emotion and crying for the words shared.

Your words let me know there are still good people in the world, THANK YOU
So many Canadians comments but we Nepalis still prefer to cut a tree by an Axe and the reason behind it is 1. Our Grandfather's teaches us that way and 2. Lots of us can't afford a chainsaws .lol
Rich and poor is not the topic sir , we just prefer it that way that's all and these techniques run through our ancestor . Btw we are not dying of Heart disease , cholesterol and diabetes plus plus point of depending on body rather than machines :) .
Karan Guragain Let’s agree to disagree. If most people are too poor to afford chainsaws, then you can’t say you’re doing it to honor tradition. You are doing it by hand because you have no other choice. Now if you all had power saws and STILL chose to do it manually with an axe, then you could claim tradition. Here’s the messed thing about living in modern America: a decent axe costs literally the same money as a good hike quality saw. Ridiculous in my opinion.
around 17:30 that's a really nice message, went to the store today and pulled a face like someone shat in my mouth. Some punk/alternative girl was sitting around, shortly glanced at her, kept walking. She called after me and asked if everything was alright... really made my day
Hey Billy, that really did look like hard wood. You know he's a woodsman, when he leaves his 50 power saws at home and chops a tree with an axe - for fun!! Love you Billy, cheers mate.

@@nakedmongoose123 it’s been alright I guess. I’ve found someone new. I can’t complain about that. I’ve realized that the best way to make friends is to stop caring what other people think about you.
many that will watch a video like this one or see the work in real life , dont realize the amount of vibration that returns up the handle into your wrists and up the forearms ,the amount of enrgy that works agaist you ....and imagine with someone with so much upper body strength like he demonstrated.The other thing i cant help but think about, the axe as tool that took shape in the fire and that fire came from wood as a fuel ...the whole idea is amazing to me...GREAT VIDEO
The world needs more good men like Billy he can show the young people it doesn't matter what you chose to be as much as it does that you put the hard work in that will define you
@@nicholasbutcher8548 trees typically have roots that spread deep underground and in an area around the tree. so its plausible that the vibrations traveled down the trunk into the dead roots under the ground where the camera was placed.
This guy wakes up and pisses excellence. I actually heard when he turned 18 and left home that he said to his father: "You're the man of the house now".
I remember back in the day when I was going to chop down an 18 inch red oak. Got through the sap wood like a boss. Hit the heart wood and it was like hitting iron. I gave up after an hour of swinging. I was 14.
Thank you. Im NZ city man , in my 20s, and when i was a lad i did all the wood and kindling prep for our fire, at home after school. I didnt realize it until recently, that chopping/splitting is something that brings me much peace and joy.

Tips for cutting down huge trees:
1) Have at least 50 axes
2) 3-4 layers of plaid
3) manly beard
4) be Canadian (optional but highly recommended)
I Have half of these and I have a question professor, can I substitute Canadian with Alaskan? And I have 5 axes is that enough?
minnesotan might be an okay alternative

That Madrone is no joke. Beautiful tree. Super heavy and if you don't split it right away it's gonna be a rough go.

So many Canadians comments but we Nepalis still prefer to cut a tree by an Axe and the reason behind it is 1. Our Grandfather's teaches us that way and 2. Lots of us can't afford a chainsaws .lol
Sad but beautiful
Karan Guragain I’ll take the diabetes and cholesterol thank you very much. Trust me: the grass really is greener on this side.
Rich and poor is not the topic sir , we just prefer it that way that's all and these techniques run through our ancestor . Btw we are not dying of Heart disease , cholesterol and diabetes plus plus point of depending on body rather than machines :)

@@bigwheel9132 I agree with you sir the grass is really green on your side :)
Karan Guragain Let’s agree to disagree. If most people are too poor to afford chainsaws, then you can’t say you’re doing it to honor tradition. You are doing it by hand because you have no other choice. Now if you all had power saws and STILL chose to do it manually with an axe, then you could claim tradition.
Here’s the messed thing about living in modern America: a decent axe costs literally the same money as a good hike quality saw. Ridiculous in my opinion.
when he said "One more hit and that's it" and then got it right, I was like heeeeeeeeeeell yeeeeeeeeeeeee
Except the video cuts after he says it and you can see the cut and debris look different so he whacked it a couple times. Still cool though!

No one more than me would appreciate that double bit. Beautiful tool. Your collection is a candy store. I want it all. Great videos im learning a lot
Your intelligence and knowledge are awe-inspiring.
When this guy chops, the whole world is shaking.
You can hear how hard that wood is when your hitting it
You can see it considering each strike shakes the cam even at that distance.
*you're = you are
Ricky Spanish wood gets harder if it’s dead bro. That tree was dead/dying
Giggity
Jack Diamond shut up grammar nazi anybody with a half decent level of intellect could understand what they’re trying to say
I love my old axes...I'm a po wersaw guy nowadays...50 years at this tends to wear it certain things out.
god bless you billy!
around 17:30
that's a really nice message, went to the store today and pulled a face like someone shat in my mouth.
Some punk/alternative girl was sitting around, shortly glanced at her, kept walking.
She called after me and asked if everything was alright...
really made my day
*"its not much, but its honest work"*
Didn't even get the quote right smh
@@DrPepps-rv3id smh to myself. My bad.
Nice love it
Have a nice!
Looks like boredom to me
Hey Billy, that really did look like hard wood. You know he's a woodsman, when he leaves his 50 power saws at home and chops a tree with an axe - for fun!! Love you Billy, cheers mate.
You’re a good man Billy Ray. Appreciate your tough as nails character n kind disposition………. Big Tony from Cleveland Ohio
It's always so satisfying to see the process of cutting down a tree, especially when it's done by a professional.
I don’t care how sharp your axe is you have to be one stout human to do this kind of work that fast.
Damn right! You have to have arms like telephone poles to do this work. I’m the same way, and I’m a carver
@@pacificcoastpiper3949 wow, a self compliment
@@thetrio567 no, I was agreeing with Colton, and giving more evidence to the fact, I also know several other very stout people who worked in the lumber industry

Hey
A lot of trees that are knocked down spread their seeds when they fall
Zyzz Mirin brah 😂
The tree is dead
Carlos Martinez Uh trees don’t have seeds
Well I'm sure you will never see this message but ty buckin I'm at prob the worst shape as far as mind set and financial that I've ever been and as bad as it is ur videos make me smile you seem like a genuine great guy
GOOD TIMES AHEAD FRIEND
Man, I really appreciate your attitude and positive energy.
Thank you for the entertaining and educational videos.
God Bless
Your enthusiasm for life is truly contagious.
I swear, when he was showing the axes he brought, and he stepped around the front of his truck, I thought he ws going to pop the hood and pull an axe out. 😂
I don't know why, but I laughed my ass off at that!
Me too
I would of walked around the front also right handers walk to the left the easiest plus not that many more steps
Plus he’s looking at the camera and I’m sure there’s a lot of tripping hazards behind the truck with him backed up to a. Big ass wood pile
Lolll same
This man helps a lot. When I’m down I watch him. I’m just going through a breakup and this guy makes me feel warm inside.
hey hope you're doing better now bud
@@dannycar25 thanks man. I am. I hope you are too.
Hey dude how was life been treating you over the last year? What have you learned about life & yourself?
@@nakedmongoose123 it’s been alright I guess. I’ve found someone new. I can’t complain about that. I’ve realized that the best way to make friends is to stop caring what other people think about you.
@@nakedmongoose123 I’ve also picked up some sports that keep my mind occupied most of the time
many that will watch a video like this one or see the work in real life , dont realize the amount of vibration that returns up the handle into your wrists and up the forearms ,the amount of enrgy that works agaist you ....and imagine with someone with so much upper body strength like he demonstrated.The other thing i cant help but think about, the axe as tool that took shape in the fire and that fire came from wood as a fuel ...the whole idea is amazing to me...GREAT VIDEO
Awesome video! This guy knows what is important in life. The world needs more folk like this!
You have a natural talent for inspiring and motivating others.
You have a unique perspective that adds so much value to any discussion.
22:03 That's where the dinosaur roar sound effect comes from
sounded more like a noise in my nightmares lol
I watched this whole thing and didnt waste a single second of my life
The world needs more good men like Billy he can show the young people it doesn't matter what you chose to be as much as it does that you put the hard work in that will define you
You have a genuine passion for your work that is truly infectious.
I'm from UK so as you know we have no trees or axes so it's nice to see an axe at work - looks really exhausting but he makes it look easy.
“This is gonna take a bit, about 20 minutes” I expected like 4 hrs lol
Me too
naw i was 9 when i cut a tree in a hour... lol dead, with my dad...
@@forrestking1760 lol 9yr old on steroids
That took more than 20 minutes 😂
@@forrestking1760 well your name is Forrest king. I think you're disqualified from this contest due to your natural affinity
you know the wood is hard when the camera shakes with every hit
I was thinking that, was it literally shaking the ground that hard?
.
I was lookin' for this comment 😄
@@nicholasbutcher8548 trees typically have roots that spread deep underground and in an area around the tree. so its plausible that the vibrations traveled down the trunk into the dead roots under the ground where the camera was placed.
@@nicholasbutcher8548 absolutely
This guy wakes up and pisses excellence. I actually heard when he turned 18 and left home that he said to his father: "You're the man of the house now".
I just got recommended your videos tonight and Ive been loving them, very satisfying and you just seem like a very genuine and kind person
“This is just the best chopper” AXE BRAKES “one down”

Tommy Bool 14:50
I remember back in the day when I was going to chop down an 18 inch red oak. Got through the sap wood like a boss. Hit the heart wood and it was like hitting iron. I gave up after an hour of swinging. I was 14.
You have learn me alot!!!! Thx for that keep it up and love from norway!❤️🇳🇴
Every swing shook the earth. This man is a legend.
Your dedication to your family and friends is truly admirable.
I love this guy just a man and his axes
Thank you. Im NZ city man , in my 20s, and when i was a lad i did all the wood and kindling prep for our fire, at home after school.
I didnt realize it until recently, that chopping/splitting is something that brings me much peace and joy. Im not a big guy, medium tall and lean, not your stereotypical axe wielder hahaa
Anyways, i enjoyed this video very much and your clear passion and knowledge about axes brings a smile to me, as it reminds me how much i enjow wielding an axe myself!, how kathartic!
Cheers Cobba
P.s. the periodic thoughtful notes on the screen throughout the video are a welcome touch!
I came here for the chopping sound, but found this very wholesome: educational , gentle and nice axes too. You really love what you're doin. Appreciate it
welcome friend
