Thanks, there are hundreds of thousands of those in Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina from Helene. I'm dedicating myself to get rid as many widow makers as I can. Keep the instructional videos coming. Your passion is contagious. I'm starting my journey at 50. Thanks again.
That one was tricky! And I like the way you thought that one through. Thanks for sharing. I was on my Power Saw today as well. Cutting up some more storm debris from Hurricane Helene. I had a very large triple trunk Red Oak that had been blown over and crashed into a ditch near my driveway. It was a real puzzle and I had to step back and look at where the tension and compression points were. I safely picked it apart and towed the cut limbs and trunks out of the ditch with my truck. I've learned so much by watching your videos over the years. Thank you my Friend. Love and Kindness to you and your family.
It's the domino effect and you Buckin' Billy explained it perfectly, well done! Thanks for being the helpful guy you are. It didn't take long to help this customer that really needed and deserved this attention. I luv your friendly honesty my friend - CHEERS!
My place is a 1 ac trap of widow makers ready to spring at any moment. I am forever in awe of your talent. wisdom and dedication to your craft. Your humble respect for nature and all things sharp always brings a smile to my face and lightens my day, thanks Buckin’. I have daydreams of taking out 3 monsters in one mighty fell swoop!
Master, indeed! Buckin', thanks for all you share to keep us working smarter, not harder, and most importantly, safe. Love this channel, it offers so much more than sawmanship ♡
That was.... ELEGANT. I don't have anything resembling the experience of @Buckin'BillyRaySmith, but I am smart enough to see all the layers of math, geometry, weight calculation, forces of nature and gravity that had to be overcome to get this down safely. Book-learnin' is great, but only experience gets you that good. Watching it again and again, you can see how it just unfolded and laid itself down ever so gently in EXACTLY the right spot. Watching a video is not the same as getting real-world experience with a saw in hand, but when you see it for real in the woods, at least you have an idea of how to think and approach it. Billy Ray -- You are a Messenger in so many ways. Keep up the good work, be safe, and thank you for reminding everyone to be kind. Much love and respect my guy..... Cujo
One time I cut a 3 inch rhodie stem that was pinned down by a fallen pine tree.I heard a wooshing sound as the stem popped back up narrowly missing my jaw.Lucky day for me.A great job felling the tree Buckin'.
All i can say BBRS, watching you for years, YOUR THE MAN on falling. I know we could perhaps always find someone better, but not many. The only thing i would change is the name of your company to " Blow FLy Tree work - why because you KNOW YOUR CHIT!!!! - I have cut many trees over the years, not an expert by any means, but i have seen some good fallers, Your the 5 Star General sir... ty from SE Texas Talked with you once on the phone couple years ago.. Like axes, saws and everything you do.. thanks for sharing knowledge because it just might have saves some lives along the way from SE Texas Bear - be kind one to another... Like the cross couontry trips too :) ❤💯🙏
I'm smiling, a tree I thinned badly this summer had four inches of snow load on it and a branch half fell over. I took a T540 whilst wearing good clothes to clear space to drive by it. Top handle got pinched (I obviously mis-understood tension in half- collapsed tree limbs). Then I fueled a 550 XP to cut out my T540, and it occured to me I should have done that to begin, except, . . well, good clothes on). So I put one tiny nick into the branch using my 550 XP, then the branch just got into it's mind to splinter straight up through the branch stem and go over. The T540 ended up somewhere under the branch and I'm lucky to not have destroyed a nice 'mini' 3/8 inch bar, and the actual saw. And this branch wasn't even big. But it still had some weight to it. Looking back at that big mess, I'd no business going into it using a 14 inch bar, or even an 15 inch .325 one either. Neither of those were the right tool. I should have put on my 28 inch bar on to a proper saw, 60cc or more and done the job right. My 372 was there and ready, and I think I've learned a lesson for future. Same thing, it was beside a wall and ground level change. So messing around using short bars and weak saws, where you can't even walk straight up to something, was dumb. That long 32 inch that Buck'in has there buys one a couple of seconds time worth of get-away, or escape execution. It's one case where shorter bars just suck badly.
Amazing. A high percentage of people put in that exact same position would have been seriously hurt or killed...no joke. That was dangerous. Real happy it went as well as it did. Thanks for explaining the situation in full. I appreciate it personally BR.
Wow. Nice work , I learned from everything in this video, I always learn something new from your videos, whether it's about tree work or life, thankyou.
Pro tip: use a pole saw to loosen the last bit of holding wood. That way you don’t need to be standing so close to the danger zone. But belive me i often do just like this, even though i learn everybody else to use the polesaw! Go buckin’ 💪
I see videos by the hundred of some real crazy tree cutting and I know that it is due to Buckin's online tree university. The most important thing in this video was to know how dangerous it is and to pay full attention to risk or walk away and get someone with real skill and experience. Be safe everyone.
tree work is mythical work can't rush it no matter the size or type of wood your in. you always gotta have a plan of action when dealing with tree's because not every tree is the same or can be treated the same way every situation has to be treated differently because u just got wild and have no plan oh boy you're playing with fire.
ROUND TURN (two wraps on bumper...) WITH TWO (DOUBLED UP cause you dont have the end of the rope) HALF HITCHES IS A GOOD WAY TO ATTACH TO THE BUMPER AND KEEP EVERYTHING TIGHT WHEN NEEDED ....WICH WASNT NECESSARY THIS TIME . but yea round turn two half hitches will always come undone, under tension or not. its a must know knot for simple rigging or more. SUPER SHOW!
Buckin, brother, that was a little peak into the knowledge of being a professional in his craft....💪💪🙌well done my friend😮😮nice freakin shot!!!! Love the singing at the end hahaha, reminds me of myself when I'm out workin hahaha❤❤ love from the Barth home bro!!!!!
Another cracking video as always and I'm learning so much from you I'm like a pro lol what is your bar and chain size on the 562 ? Ignore the question I see you put it on the screen 32" 👌
I sure wish my neighbors watched your videos. I saw a couple of them cutting down some trees today, but they don’t normally cut trees down, so there was very little coordination or communication going on. The one cut a tree without mentioning it to the others, and when it came down, it only missed the one guy by about 3 feet. There was even a vehicle in range. Total luck that it didn’t hit anything or anyone. 😬
that was great Billy Ray but the real masterpiece is the spiral thinning you did on those trees. I'd be interested in that video to see how it was done. maybe you can put that video up or post the title of that video. That before and after picture should be framed, that is spectacular what you did.
Still early in the video, but what I immediately thought of was taking a power saw on a pole, and taking the limbs off the top, above the break. Maybe go to the far end, and just cut it up in the air, little chunk at a time. Can't tell (yet) from the video how high up the snag is, though. Is that crazy talk?
Wow. What a master of the craft. Buckin’ never seems to amaze. The wealth of knowledge this man shares with us is amazing.
Never ceases to amaze I believe…
Wow! is right. I cut down the odd tree and you really have to know what you are doing to attempt this. This is next level stuff.
My thoughts exactly if the tree springs back at ya you could be squished game over @@archo0518

That was truly one ugly hung up situation. You handled this confidently and professionally. Great video!
Scary stuff.
How’s the new man ?
All is well brother. We're all good. Thanks for asking. Blessed above all.@@BuckinBillyRaySmith
The first 1,000 year atmospheric river rain event I've seen. You're a master at your craft, Buckin'.
just 5 mins. in i again have to pause and comment on how much i like the "explain" type videos; Great stuff Buckin, thanks!👌
I appreciate that
It's the domino effect and you Buckin' Billy explained it perfectly, well done! Thanks for being the helpful guy you are. It didn't take long to help this customer that really needed and deserved this attention. I luv your friendly honesty my friend - CHEERS!

thank you!
Buckin, awesome job on the trees in this video may other tree people pay attention like 👍 you did for this project 😮😊❤
nice of you
That was pretty to watch. Great job explaining the situation and the mechanics of the take down. Thanks, Buckin!
Excellent job brother! I’ll remember the cutting order for similar situations down here in Pennsylvania!
I love watching you cook up your steak. I've always told ol Wilson, he's got hidden secrets tucked into those long videos. Now Wilson is a fan as well
Another reason to love a long bar. Nice one Buckin.
Yip
He makes the rest of us feel dumb or inadequate. Keeping people alive and healthy with his advice.
One of the trickiest cuts I've ever seen you do. One that I would be scratching my head trying to figure out. Nice work!
Expert work! Kindness goes the extra mile! God bless!
Master, indeed!
Buckin', thanks for all you share to keep us working smarter, not harder, and most importantly, safe.
Love this channel, it offers so much more than sawmanship ♡

Awesome work as always
Stuff like this is why I keep an eye on this channel. It gives me an idea what to look for if I come across something similar.
Good
That was done with perfection.
But buckin tell me is there a rush on earth like that when a plan is executed with perfection nice work brother
Thx Johnny .
@ I will going to a 32” bar just have to save some money I like the cannon light bar it’s a beauty
