Splitting firewood, axes has saved me mentally. Physically, and spiritually more than once. I don't like the gym . So this is my gym, / @bellhoppersaws
Buckin, when I was in my late teens I started power lifting and gained 20 lbs of muscle in a year. I used to tell my WWII grandfather about it and he wasn’t impressed. He worked on a rigging gang for Mobil Oil in Buffalo. He always said why don’t you put a pick axe or shovel in your hand? Then I joined the Marines and got disciplined and humbled. It wasn’t until watching your videos that I learned Grandpa, God rest his soul, was right. When you called logging and splitting “outdoor exercise” you were totally right. Ten good swings of a splitting axe, or cutting a tree down, or using a maul and you’re not only winded your upper musculature is taxed. So, last week I saw a cop I know who must be cycling roids because even his orbital ridges looked too proud. Didn’t hardly recognize him. He tried to convince me to get back in the gym. I gave him the same advice you gave me: pick up axe and start splitting lumber… he wasn’t too amused. Meanwhile, I’ve lost 20 lbs of fat and started getting back some definition at age 56. The Buckin fitness program. Works as advertised. Dan
It'll make your back, core, heart, legs, butt, wrists, hands and forearms strong. The only problem with it in the current image culture is that it doesn't make big biceps. Fairly sure there's lots of people who would take biceps over my first list, but I never heard anyone talk about a spry 80 year old guy who gets up and down and around easy because he has big biceps. Keeping flexibility, dexterity, leg and core strength sure will help that, though.
Way back in the day all world class boxers chopped fire wood , both left & right handed as part of there training & preparations for there next fight & they did it religiously along with there 5 mile run , etc. .
I agree with you 💯, I am strong from doing Landscaping work however I am rather lean and people are normally supposed by what I can do because I do not have big muscles
BILLY RAYS GOT THE GUNS OUT ,THOSE AXES ARE AWESOME BUT THAT DOUBLE BIT IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ,HAPPY NEWYEARS EVERYONE WISHING YOU ALL THE BEST OF LUCK FOR 2021 ,BE SAFE ALL BIG LOVE FROM ONTARIO CANADA BE SAFE

Always a pleasure to watch you splitting wood... You also inspired me to split a cord by hand and at 67 I couldn't believe I did it. All hardwoods to boot :) Thanks Buckin Happy Birthday !!!
I got some felling and bucking to do, I’m all split up right now and I could use some time with the Canadian gym on a stick! Wishing everyone a happy new year!!!
Happy new year billy and family, much love from me and my family all the way down here in Western Australia, we have 10 minutes to go, you and ganges are legends have a good one and a happy new year to everyone here on the channel, love and respect to all, rock on brothers🤘
I feel you there for sure. The blue gum down here in California burns like no other, but splitting just one big round with a maul is a full day's workout. Splitting eucalyptus is only for the patient!
You don't want to leave! I don't want you to leave and stop recording! If I was there I wouldn't leave. Had my boy (11) split his first cord after watching you....Thank you for making 2020 bearable as I split for my winter heat. I learned a lot and enjoy your outlook on life. You are making a difference in peoples lives....Wishing you a very Happy New Year!
Wishing all a Happy New Year, I hope that next year will be better for all of us. Buckin Billy, your channel has helped me make it through this troubling year. I'm on the verge of giving my little fur baby some meds because fireworks, thunder, and loud noises cause her to tremble. Be kind, as Buckin always says, and stay healthy.
Happy New Year to the Buckin Army, Welcome to all the new folks thanks for stoppin by may your 2021 be full of kindness and many Blessings love wins friends!!
Buckin,I love workin with my wife.shes a great help,and it's hard to explain what it dose for us both to see each other pushing our physical limits...much love to you ,your family,and this amazing community 💚🌳💚🌳💚🌳💚🌳💚🌳💚🌳
Gotta click the thumbs up before watching , Bbr sir you inspire me to continue hand splitting my fireplace wood until I can't anymore ! Thanks for your service, content, Love, all shared by you and followers of this awesome community! Happy New 21 looking forward to a much better future!
Hey buckin just wanted to tell you watching your videos helps me to do my part in this world on being kind to people and to work on my axemanship 👍I love making my own axes I actually just hung a splitter this week
My wife and I were watching together, and she was so excited to see Wendy helping you with the firewood! It is so much how we work and live together! God bless you, my friend as we enter the new year! ❤️🪓🙏👍 Lieutenant Bradley
Happy New Year to you all! I am not a very vocal supporter of this Buckin' Experience, but I watch every video, and I feel the Love, all the way from Sweden. Peace and Love to everybody! You too, Billy Ray! :-) Let's make 2021 a Fantastic Year!
You are truly a kind person buckin, ive bin watching your channel for a couple months now . i personally owned my own tree removal business for 16 years, i sold the business a couple years ago but i still climb and do some tree work once and a while. Ive learned a lot of things just buy watching your channel. Keep doing what your doing buddy. 👍👍👍
Ol Bellhopper got a new subscriber! As of 9:53 pst on Thursday here the fella is over 5k. Also, you should do like a where's Waldo with Little Buckin' when the weather is mostly dry or under cover in the videos. I think that'd be a hoot. Always love the videos and wisdom you share with us all.
Hi buckin billy ray , i love this channel , i just wanna say ur one hellofa man doing one hellofa job happy new year to u n ur family , stand up n buck n get that heart pumping ✌💪🤘🙏😎
Thank you Buckin for the split fest. That ole double bit sure is nice and the little Tassie rocks. Happy New Year my friend. Much Love to you and your family. Love ya man. 🌲❤🌲✊🪓
Why would you leave??? Why would you leave?? When you can just freak out for a minute and blast through 7-8 more rounds??? Why not? O’ big narley piece that I almost forgot!!! Grab the big girl and just destroy it!!! Hey friends ...why not??? You are definitely extending your life span by doing your log splitting days! You can be in better shape in your 60’s than you were in your 40’s if you continue to work your body and mind!!! 😂👍😎🤙. Nothing but Love and Respect!!! Thanks for pounding the message of kindness into the world around you! Slowly but surely as your positive vibe has been broadcast throughout your community and you’ve energized the smaller channel fella’s around you to continue to help spread your message of Kindness ... and carry the torch!!! it’s just been amazing to watch them grow and to embrace your concept of kindness. I’ve watched an entire group of guys spring up over these past few years that are willing and excited to teach everything they know to a beginner! They are answering younger guys questions about chainsaws ... trying to explain and expose the riddle of porting chainsaw’s and timing numbers are shared completely!!! Harvey took the heat for telling the secrets and I watched Kensie jump up in conversation and say “Hey...that’s my friend so don’t disrespect him!!!” Now Mr.Bell is really showing a quickly growing group of guys his secrets and the ins and outs... TinMan create’s an amazing cut-away chainsaw engine to teach even us guys who need the hands on type approach to learning .., with a visual explanation of what is happening and how we can make some changes to improve it! You even have Nick Pixel teaching us the video production techniques and the digital side stuff!!! It is just a really beautiful time to be alive and get to see all you great people all working together and collaborating on making awesome videos and content!!! Grateful Dave!!!!😂👍
3 hours and 20 minutes left of one of the craziest years I ever have experienced.. well..good riddance :) Happy New Year everybody, lets hope nr. 21 will be all that we wish for... Wow, that's some WICKED axes, Buckmeister!! All the best to you and your family, and throw in an extra hug to Mama Buckin' :)

What head is on that 28” I would lobe to find one with that profile
Sweet axes, nice splittin technique, but a toddler could split most of that straight grain wood. Try some seasoned locust some time.
Buckin, when I was in my late teens I started power lifting and gained 20 lbs of muscle in a year. I used to tell my WWII grandfather about it and he wasn’t impressed. He worked on a rigging gang for Mobil Oil in Buffalo. He always said why don’t you put a pick axe or shovel in your hand? Then I joined the Marines and got disciplined and humbled.

A Fiskars and beer cans, sounds like someone was having a party. Happier New Year everyone!
Happy new year
It'll make your back, core, heart, legs, butt, wrists, hands and forearms strong. The only problem with it in the current image culture is that it doesn't make big biceps.

Just an idea...lift weights and swing axes! 🪓 💪🏼
Way back in the day all world class boxers chopped fire wood , both left & right handed as part of there training & preparations for there next fight & they did it religiously along with there 5 mile run , etc. .
A couple of world champions were lumber jacks before they were boxing champions !!!
I agree with you 💯, I am strong from doing Landscaping work however I am rather lean and people are normally supposed by what I can do because I do not have big muscles
I couldn’t of said that any better!! Perfect 👌 I’ll take core all day
The wood just lies down and says uncle to the 28" weapon 👍

Always a pleasure to watch you splitting wood... You also inspired me to split a cord by hand and at 67 I couldn't believe I did it. All hardwoods to boot :) Thanks Buckin Happy Birthday !!!
I’m swinging in the rain…just swinging in the rain . What a glorious feeling…I’m happy again!
Great “country boy” workout!
I got some felling and bucking to do, I’m all split up right now and I could use some time with the Canadian gym on a stick! Wishing everyone a happy new year!!!
We are all born for a reason. This man was born to annihilate wood.
This is some great exercise. I lost 2# just watching this! 😂
When the Wood Bullet hits it sounds serious. Happy New Year, everyone.
The man splits wood, like a hot knife splits butter. Love it!
Best and most practical tutorial regarding the use of axes.
just gettin Started Henry love ya buddy
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith oh thank you so very much. This is a good start to 2021 for me.
Happy New Year Billy I'm an old tree man and enjoy your channel. Keep spreading the love and joy! Clean and sober 34 years by the grace of God.
Watching buckin disappear in the smoke spooky lol that wood is just popping apart love all happy new year
love wins
kinda spiritual
@@TheFenceGuy lol that’s what I was thinking
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith watching you split that firewood just makes me want to pick up some of my axes and start swinging
You have no idea how many times I have said not my gig in my lifetime. That was a riot to just hear you say that.
Happy New Years Buckin Army and all the NEWCOMERS !!!!!

Look at all that kinetic energy!! :>)
I’m running though a couple of cords of Sweet Gum and it is GNARLY, friends... I’m super jealous of that straight grain wood popping like that!
I feel you there for sure. The blue gum down here in California burns like no other, but splitting just one big round with a maul is a full day's workout. Splitting eucalyptus is only for the patient!
Same here! Stringy cotton wood, elm, box elder, and then there's the pignut hickory .
Yeah sweet gum is hard to split. Easy to saw though.
Happy New Year Buckin. Thanks for all the great content and kindness throughout a rough year. 😁👍
The man is straight surgical! Buckin, all the best to you and all here. Happy new Year!
Getin rid of the fiskas was the bit I liked most in the vid.
You don't want to leave! I don't want you to leave and stop recording! If I was there I wouldn't leave. Had my boy (11) split his first cord after watching you....Thank you for making 2020 bearable as I split for my winter heat. I learned a lot and enjoy your outlook on life.

The knowledge I’ve learned from you has made my life so much easier!!! Thank You Very Much!!!!
