CHOPPING TREES DOWN WITH AN AXE DOES SOMETHING FOR ANYONE WHO DOES IT , WHAT THAT IS IS DIFFERENT FOR EVERY ONE, DOUBLE BIT AXES WERE THE TOOL OF THE DAY BEFORE CHAIN SAWS
The opening message to this video are words to live by. This world beat me down to my lowest low in January ‘17 when I lost my oldest boy to suicide. I had to make the decision to live my best life for him and for me. I don’t succeed every day. But I do try. Love the positivity here. Need it. Love the axes too. Mine are part of the therapy of every day. Thanks.
Tough work made to look easy! Buckin’ you get work done! I broke my back and was told I wouldn’t walk again yet here I am walking, falling trees, and riding my Harley you’re extremely positive and motivational! You’re videos are great!
Tips, instruction, demonstrations, action, and a bit of humor is what you give us in every video. You owned that job with just an axe. Using the power saw to cut it in sections for chopping into firewood. Every video you post is a Buckin Special in my opinion. You're the real deal and we're lucky to have you sharing your knowledge and experience with us. Welcome new subscribers! We're happy you're here. Remember to be kind to everyone as everyone deserves our kindness. What they choose to do with it is up to them. Hope you all have a great day!
Hell I don’t even go to the gym. I just go pay in the yard. Split wood, move things around and just work. It’s free, keeps me health, makes my home better, and makes me happy. You get to see the work you did, the results are worth it as you can to say to yourself I did that. And nobody can take that away from you. Pride is where it’s at.
A tree a day keeps the love handles away! You hit the woodsman’s gym hard today Buckin! That was a beautiful thing :) I could tell how happy that made you. Looked like a little kid having the time of his life. I adored this video. Also, that axe is perfect! Those short handles are my favorite these days. Love you all. Let’s talk, always makes my day when someone takes the time to chat in comments.
The first 2 minutes is why I love this guy. This video is an analogy for goals in life. Even though it's tough to see at times, every swing makes a difference. You just have to keep swinging and eventually that tree will fall.
Awesome axe work!! I had my son chop a few dead trees down when mushroom hunting over summer, always great to see the appreciation for hard work after doing it like the old timers before us!!! Have a great night everyone!!! Imagine handing a brand new Stihl or husky to a logger from the 1800s???? Man what a difference!!!!!!
Needed that first message as well. I def am trying, easier said then done. Your right, it’s not all about work. I love watching you channel for the positivity factor and listening to what you got to say. It’s a gift. Thanks buckin! And have a great day everybody.
Welcome to the new subscribers. What a beautiful, beautiful double bit . Excellent vid mate ..... hope everyone's had a fabulous week.......love to all , be kind , love ♥️n hugs🐨 for mamma buckin......😎👍🇦🇺
Buckin, thank you for this video! My family and I are camping in Petit Jean State Park this weekend and my grandson crawled up in my lap to watch this with me. He said to me, “Pop let’s go chop us a tree down”, kinda made me nervous, he started eyeballin these 100’ pines here in camp 🤣. I gave him his first axe a few months ago and all he talks about is choppin! I love it! He’s the little guy in my profile pic. Thank you sir, once again you have put a smile on this old hillbillies face😊. And yes swingin anything with a head on it is a great work out! Gets the heart to thumpin!
Who are we gonna be? Great people! And have a happy life! You gotta try to make that happen! Your right Buckin. You got to set that in motion! I love this channel. It has made me a better human being! To the new subs just watch this channel and you will see what I mean! Be kind people
Wow! I've honestly never seen a tree being chopped down with an ax! That's incredible strength! And you won't be sore tomorrow?! Wow you impress me every single video lol.. I'm in awe! 👍🏼 great job!!!!
Denice Fithian That surprising! There’s tons of us that do it here on youtube. I can make some recommendations if you like watching chopping videos as much I do ;) be kind pal! let me know.
When someone becomes so proficient in a skill or trade that the basic movement, if possibly harmful, can cause injury - they should attempt to pay close attention to their actions. Buckin' has transcended that limitation in a way that is so spectacular it makes you want to hone your craft like a master, which he is. Determination, grit and resolve that's all it takes, but it is everything allowable.
Hand falling trees is a ton of fun. Reminds me of Indiana when me and Vic were going after that stem😂 Hogan and Nick made a serious pile of chips👌 love to you and the family buckin❤️ there are so many different things here for so many different people!
You know Buckin I was going to text you this morning but we got busy. I found your opening message in this segment particularly timely. After our talk on Sunday about the Axes for Mac and I the week changed dramatically. For those that don't know, my daughter likes to train in a fighting style called Krav Maga. Its a fierce fighting style and it is a great way to stay in shape. Monday night, after talkin to Buckin' I got a call while on a business trip that my daughter had an accident at Krav and it turns out she busted up her elbow pretty bad. The net is that I ended my trip that night and flew home in the morning. The next day, Kate had surgery on her elbow that was supposed to be about 3 hours ended up being 7 and a half. She's got a lot of rehab to go through and it will be a journey. The reason I bring this up is that I'm at peace. I'm sad for Kate beyond measure and I'd trade with her if I could; what dad wouldn't? I'm not angry at the person she fought with cause it is part of the game. For all of us this is the game of life and we "choose" how we go through it. I thought the opening was appropriate. "CHOICE" We all make them and it's more about how we deal with them and the consequences that DEFINES US. Great message my friend, thanks. As far as the Axe goes ... AWESOME is not quite enough. The personal touch is appreciated :) Can't wait to get out there with Mac and get some limbing and chopping done. Thanks brother.
Matt Hogstrom oh no! 😓 I hope your daughter is in good spirits. She's tough, no doubt if she's a training fighter! I'm sure she'll be up and at em before long! Stay safe and enjoy your evening! 👍🏼
Matt Hogstrom, so sorry to hear about your daughter! I know how easy it is to get injured in martial arts. I did Jeet Kune Do and boxing for the majority of my life and it took a toll on my body. Saying Krav Maga is a brutal fighting style doesn’t do it justice. It makes me truly happy to see a father like yourself so involved in their kids life. I would’ve given my right arm for dad like you when I was growing up. By the way that axe is going to be perfect. I cut wood every day because I’m training for timbersports and I can tell you without a doubt that axe is exactly what the doctor ordered 😉 Buckin put some special touches on this one I’ve never seen from him. I hope Kate convalesces quickly so y’all can get out there and heal even more in the woodsman’s gym. You might be raising yourself lumberjill! Be kind!
Matt Hogstrom Ya know what’s funny is-he was cleaning the driveway old school with what he had on hand and I was thinking,”A Leaf blower coulda done that in 1/10 of the time.” But-then I thought,damn I learned something today.😋
Buckin , I chop wood like you... double bit in a pile and swing away... The axe is beautiful We had one of these growing up and I have been looking for a head like it but have not found one recently. My father was a teacher and we would spend our summers out in the woods getting firewood put away for the winter. Many hours swinging an axe and working side by side with my dad... some of my favorite memories. Keep the chips flying!
Anyone notice he was NOT wearing gloves the entire time he was swinging those axes. Sign of a true working man. If I tried to do that today I would have ended up with bloody nubs before finishing the first tree, I got blisters just watching. Even when I was a ten foot tall and bulletproof teenager 35 years ago I would have only gotten through 1 tree before the blisters started popping up. Did it one time when I was 17, and Billy Ray you are correct, it is truly a spiritual as well as physical experience chopping down a tree then splitting the wood. I felt better afterwards than I had ever felt. Of course it didn't hurt that I was trying to impress my girlfriend.
Thx for the "fix" Billy....Love ya brother ! Hello to old and new alike....welcome to all you new subbers...get ready for a transformation of your life. Love to all 💖💕💖💕
I've watched RU-vid for years and have never commented on any videos at all, and I watch all your videos been doing tree work now for 8 years, and I've applied some of your knowledge into my work. Thank you for being so genuine and keep up the work you do stay safe brotha
Plow... Bang... Thump... The sound of that ax, was there a sledge attached to the end of that? Hay Buckin Army. Buckin love your broom. He he he pease everyone.
Hey hey hey old folks & new folks. Be really kind to all, especially our loved ones AND the ones who haven't found love yet perhaps!! I love y'all. God bless.
Have you ever wondered how a modern Gränsfors American felling axe would compare to the old school stuff? Might be a cool comparison. Maybe patrons would be interested and sponsor an axe. Then you can make it a giveaway after the testing back to the patrons.
Nice axe. I've read that double bit axes, despite looking cool and seeming suitable, were never actually used in medieval combat because apparently the great weight of the axe head would cause any missed swings to throw the wielder off-balance. But it sure looks fun to use on those trees!
Your shooting for 100 years old, I and just hoping I make it to 60. Love watching the ax just eat up the wood. Brings back memory's as a kid in the woods.
Buckin'... the ManBeaver.. with a great set of double bitted teeth… Haha!! Nice job, ManBeaver :) And that's some good lookin' axes too. Welcome all new subscribers..with your help, we're up at 31K ! Yeah!!
NORTH STAR THIS PLACE HAS GROWN HE HE LOVE YA BUDDY ,, SINCERELY FRIEND , THX FOR BEING HERE , YOU ARE A SHINING EXAMPLE , AND A MODEL MEMBER OF THIS SPECIAL COMMUNITY ,,,,LOVE.....
Wow, i love the sound of the axe hitting the wood. Also, the little reminders of how to treat myself are just reinforced by the wacky awesome additude!
Hello from the Farmer House down here in Indiana! Would it be possible to do a video on the different types of chains? And maybe side by side comparison? Full skip, half skip, and full comp.
Happy Friday to you!!!! If it is Friday at your place hehe😃 good show sir billy my teacher. Looking good. Just having lunch then off!!! To work!!! Sorry fun day 😂😂😂 chainsawing and Lawns. Beautiful! !!! Day here in new Zealand Invercargill. Ok!!! Back to the show hehe.👍
Love the videos, but most of all love the inspiration added. It is awesome to watch videos that are interesting and educational, but also give inspiration to live life to the fullest. Keep them coming! I also love to see all the comments from the people that are gaining from this channel. Love the community!
I love your message, thank you for reminding me to live life and enjoy it. My son Eric and daughter Ally love to chop wood with me, we forget about time when we’re out there chopping.
My friend you actually made me tired with all that chopping good grief man you didn't even break a sweat..That woulda killed me for sure, You definetly don't ever need to lift heavy stuff to stay fit for real..LOL Friend's much love to each and everyone of you, Take Care..
Thanks everyone for your encouragement. I showed Kate your comments and she was stoked; you put a smile on her face. She’s home from the hospital, all her Krav friends came over (after spending two days at the hospital taboot). The community of lovin’ and caring for each other is alive in a real honest way. Buckin, she loved the intro and thought you putting your personal mark on the axe was a nice touch. Can’t wait to see it buddy. Thanks again all.
Billy’ Ahhh Say Ahhh Say you have up on the Sager a mite early Lad. 🤙🏼 Like them brown Engineer Boots also. I have a MannEdge Puget Pattern that flat gets after it. I am glad to see more Felling Content again.
One summer, I had inherited an old double bit axe from my Grandfather. I figured I wanted to cut down a tree with it, so my dad had a tree that needed to come down. I took a couple of swings with the axe and got some big chunks of wood out, so I thought it would go easy. 45 minutes later, my dad asked if I wanted to use the chainsaw. I was upset by then and declined, determined to finish this with the axe. I finally got it notched the way I wanted and cut the backside. It did drop where I wanted it to, but I was soaked with sweat, as it was summer and hot and humid. But I got 'er done. Oh, it was an old Locust tree. Never chopped another one down with the axe. After watching you, I might try a fir, or other pine, but no more of that locust.
I like how you let the head do the work. Your enthusiasm is commendable. I agree the axe is our way. Although nothing at all compared to your productions and editing skills, check out my feeble axe videos.
BFD Adventure first time I’ve seen you in the comments! I hope you’re doing well. Like I said before everyone gots their own way of using an axe. Buckin has been doin this since he was a kid. So interesting to see someone who’s so proficient on a saw approach felling trees with an axe. Take care buddy! Be Kind :)
We are going to have to call you Buckin Beaver Billy if you keep swinging those a little s at the trees Love to you and the family, even Chester the Bunker snooper
Tbh man your such a positive person and that’s why I watch your vids it’s calming to actually watch someone that’s not just loud and trying to be funny or anything
Great Slicen & Dicen video B.R ! Brought back some great memories of Father & I with His Walters Double Bit ! Love All Ya New Subs & Blues From Down East ! ATB T God Bless
That axe cuts eyy! That thing was taking down those trees like no ones business. I don’t know if I can keep cutting with the axe you built me Buckin. Might need to go on the wall next to the Raven and the sign! It’s too cool looking!
Just got onto your channel past couple days, Buckin. I personally just have started my journey in the tree business, and I'm loving your videos. Even to a complete novice such as myself, your skill and knowledge is awe inspiring. Keep on keepin on bud. Great to see a fellow Canuck representing us all so well on the tube.
Yes you have a choice on being happy or not. It seems simple, but think about it. I can think of the bad or the good in life. I had a tough job that required 12 hours of driving every day. It was very tough to be by myself and negative thoughts flowing. I finally decided I would not think of the horrible bad thoughts. It was that simple. I also used to think of how "bad" it was that day and drive by a dead animal in the road. I would tell myself "it's not THAT bad". That one(animal) did have a bad day. I also before I go to sleep thank the Lord for a great day(no matter what happened). I ask for another tomorrow . It's that simple. It works. Look for the good. Be nice to others.
I just purchased some land and bought a chain saw, crazy dangerous to cut large tree's..So, I bought a Axe and love it..It's safer, fun and a great way to stay in shape and fight old age...I'm now looking for a badass, real man axe!
youre right buddy. Life changes on us in small ways and big ways. Happy and sad days. Good and bad days. Without the difference its just nothingness. Stay blessed
Back in 2002 I was guding in the northern Rockies and had to dig a hole for the latrine. Dug up a double bit Kelly Works head..2 1/2 lb head..Still the best axe I own.
That’s pretty cool 😎 casual observation here. But the trees even fall different. But thank for god Stihl and Husky. And oh ok we’ll add some Yellow to this too 😜 Everyone have a great weekend!
