Humans Unite .... love Buckin'
That high cut was bad ass! I'd never seen that before? I love way the bottom fell forward and top rode with it till it hit the ground still standing, then fell back the opposite direction! Much respect!!! (From Humboldt County California)
I like how you put on there, theres no need to rush when you're centered, running saw definitely helps center me then again I do it more for hobby than anything else.
Buckin: I've learned more in the last four months watching you and listing to your advice about felling trees than I have in my 74 years on this earth. Thank you so much for sharing your vast knowledge!! Joe from NJ
Hi billy I’m a 17 year old just starting of In the timber industry in Australia and I love watching your videos. You have taught me a lot about tree felling and chainsaw techniques I would like to say thank you and keep up the good work.
Thanks so much Buckin. You've probably saved me from maiming myself with a chainsaw, and the advice on life, well that's just the best there is. Love ya back!
Billy this warms my heart to see father and son spending this kind of quality time you never really see anymore. What a great example you are to us dads. God bless you sir
I have dropped 4 or 5 hundred trees, and when I first heard of back cut first I thought why would I ever do that. But after seeing why I have added it to my arsenal. Thank you so much.
"I dont know how the footage was I was watching in awe", what I'd give to hear my son say that haha the multiple camera angles in this video really help explain what exactly is trying to be accomplished. Thank you for taking the time to share the knowledge and experience. Its pretty cool to see how much a wedge can make a difference in up righting a tree
Thanks Mr. Buckin! I've learned a bunch from you that's really helped me on our Iowa farm. We have had to deal with a lot of leaners and difficult blow-down situations. We are blessed with some very beautiful old timber. I'd love to show you some of the black walnut we've been slabbing
I love how you two , father and son are having fun! 🙂 Not very many boys and dad's ever get get one moment like that and you two are making and video a lifetime worth!
I've been watching you and August Hunicke for a while and wanting to try out climbing one, finally got the chance. Family friend with about a 60ft walnut, borrowed some gear from a buddy and climbed it. Used the tautline hitch, the peeler thing for branches and lots of other stuff I learned from this channel and August's, great info and I appreciate it so so much. I got that tree cut down, felt a little sketch a few times, like cutting the top and bouncing back and forth while holding on like a spider monkey. Long story short I got a nice big walnut log I'm gonna mill up into boards and make some nice stuff out of, couldn't have done it without the info in your videos, thank you a great deal. It's also kind of fun, killed my legs and abs though for 2 or 3 days.
I don't agree with, they says, because they say you can't teach an old dog new tricks. I always try to learn new tricks and today, after all these years of knocking down trees, you taught me a new trick. Thank you!👍
Yeah yeah yeah. Heck yeah Buckin I love the back cut first. Hope everyone is having a great day and start to their weekend. Love you all. Stinkin steel in the stump. Great Ganges Cam and the new one the wedge Cam. I love it. Thank you Buckin and Ganges for your time. 🌲❤🌲✊
You have so much love to give, I do too. That's just what we need in this world today! I would just like to thank you brother for that! We need more loving people like you in this world today! I love you brother! You take care and be safe! See you next time! God bless!
hi buckin, I can see that something is depressing you, big hug for you! lots of love to chester the good ol boy! hey hogan hope your doing good! happy weekend to all messengers of kindness!
Awesome information. Living on the side of a mountain (small albeit mountain) I have many trees that lean all different ways. As a novice I would never of thought about this technique. Especially with small diameter trees. Thank you and always. Peace.
Super video, Buckin’. Very helpful as I get ready to fall four back leaners this weekend Really appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Thanks for being you. 🧡🌳☀️
How'd it go I took 2 back leaners out with precision using this method from this video it couldn't have gone any better for me other than my 18in bar was a little short lol
@@armedveteran42 it went tremendously well! I only managed to get three down before it got too dark to work safely. I thought I had four to remove, but we’re going to end up taking down seven. All seven leaning in the opposite direction I need to go. The first three landed exactly where I wanted them. I’m sure that wouldn’t have been the case if I didn’t start with the back cut! Stay well! ✊🏼
love the back-cut first clips! My dad and I dropped a standing dead ash tree today--the thud when it hit the ground was thunderous👍🌩 It was a good day to be in the woods together. love, andrewski
Also you bring a smile to my face every time I watch you your a nice uncouraging person and don't let anyone tell you different also love the old ford's there built to work
The first thing in the morning my son has to have his buckin videos or the day just doesn't go right. Keep up the good work. If you could give a holler to my boy it would mean the world to him. Jayden has been a big fan since the beginning. Much love, John & Jayden Carreiro
My boy noah the same, he turned 7 today, this morning I asked him if he wanted to watch buckin with me. He looks at me and says "I told you that didn't I" I about Lost it, he's a logger in the making lol
You guys rock! Hogan and Buckin’. Every video I watch I get 2 things, I learn something and I get a wave of kindness. Thank you both for doing these videos. Keep up the great work, you guys are making a huge difference that goes unseen. Have a great day all in the Army of Kindness! 😊👍🏻
IMPRESSIVE ! To say the least ! When ever I find myself stressed and aggravated about a job I watch you do one of these amazing feats and say That was Way more stress than what I have to deal with . And you make it look like it’s nothing 😳 love your channel .
I Enjoy all of your videos! They have improved my relationship with my saws. I still don't get the "no eye protection". My eyes would fill up with sawdust and if I got an eye injury the first thing my wife would ask me is, "were you wearing glasses?" She runs chipper & pole saw so she can't be fooled. Keep up the good work.
Love your details..I call that a "reverse wedge"...and that 572..I'm running a 372 Xtorq, but I want that auto-tune 572...you're a real pro..sharp saw, tuned perfectly...gets me so excited and I'm 60 years old...I feel every thrill that you do when falling...👍🤘
Hey Buckin! Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us. It’s never the saw, it’s the sawyer. A chisel in a master’s hands makes art. Be proud that you are passing your art to your son!
This channel is great sir. I picked up a home owners stihl to clean up my back woods area. Was able to fall around 10 small trees safely with no experience. Thanks for the help.
Buckin' Billy Ray Smith, You are an amazing teacher and I have learned so much from your videos. Wish I could spend time cutting with you but I will just have to wing it over here is SE AK
i worked with a pipe fitter for a winter. we are talking 3-5 weeks straight at a time, 4 days off, back at it. this is pretty close to the territories, so a long winter. likely november til march. i learn more about feeling trees in one of your half hour videos (ive been cutting firewood for 13 years, i know the basics very well) than i learnt about pipe fitting in an entire winter with that guy. i love how you explain what youre going to do and why, before you do it. followed by how the out come was and why, or how it could have ended differently. WHILE YOURE DOING IT, not on the ride home from in the truck when the newbie has already forgotten what youre talking about. love the vids man, you seem to a great father from where i stand, stay safe friend
Thank you for another back cut first video. I learned a lot especially from the first one. I know use this on leaning trees with great success. Sure beats putting a rope in them lol. Keep up the great work.
I have a simple understanding of how all this goes. My family heats a cabin in the cascades with wood. I really appreciate your advice and expertise. Thanks Buckin.
Thank you so much for all of your videos. You have helped me a lot. I have learned so much from your videos. It has helped me stay safe and confident when cutting trees.
Hey buckin, love the channel. I was in awe when I saw you open that shed with all those vintage chainsaws. I have decided that I want to start collecting / restoring vintage chainsaws because of you. I just bought my first McCulloch 10-10 off eBay which will be here next week. My aunt is giving me a stihl wood boss 024Vas and a stihl 015 av for free. Therw have been sitting for a while, but hope to get the ripping soon
Me and mine love you Billy Ray! Got to take down a couple little maples this weekend! Those waterlogged trees are too much for a little guy like me lol.
Thanks for sharing bucking I love u buddy. I really could have used some of the techniques last Tuesday. BOY we cut down 60 trees. I felt like a faller let me tell u. But thank u so much for ur teaching brother u are a special kind of man let me say.
I've been in the industry for 27 years running a successful tree service in central Florida. Watching your videos are extremely informative, kind, and a general pleasure to watch. Love to cut some trees with you sometime. Subbed
Back cut first I gotta remember this !!! i could use it so many times and dont think about it at the time!! I feel your pain on the messed up chain . Thanks for sharing my friend
Thank you for sharing this Buckin. I’m trying to improve my falling all the time. Not a tree guy, but have to cut stuff at the farm once in a while. Have a great day friend.
Goodmorning from alabama BUCKING. Still cant see to read yet from the surgery. But im trying to watch. Im just glad to see ya.cant waite to when l can use a chainsaw again.
Hey Buckin' Billy! Just want to say how much i love the videos! I work in a hospital however spend all fall and winter cutting down and up fire wood (Primary heat source for my old farm house and garage) Will be watching for more from central Minnesota this winter!
I learned about this cut I should have done on 1st day on a helicopter job and first impression of boss man watching me with the 1st tree sat on my bar and my side cutting partner taught me I should have put my back cut in first, it was a bit windy day, small somewhat tall tree as in intro and could not tell the exact lean pretty strait up and down and I got in a rush to get it on the ground and I ended up looking novice took a bit and axed myself out and got the tree down but wow what a cost in time and energy lol live and learn... love learning
Always a pleasure to learn from you Buckin, thank you for everything you do and keep up the good work. You make the Time bearable while im not able to cut for myself :D Greetings to ya and this amazing Army
Morning Buckin and friends. Have a great Saturday. Smile today at someone you dont know. Might be the only smile that person gets all day, and it may create a good conversation between ya.
Hey Mr Buckin I love the voice overs!! They are so informative! Please recap that high up hinge cut when it got caught in the other tree “the leaner”. That worked perfect! Thank you Andy
Yeppers , with the wrap handlebars , dogs and bigger clutch cover the 572xp makes for a formidable felling , bucking saw ... When ported for torque with high bmep it really comes to life ... smoothest saw I’ve ever run and the AV is killer ... The 500i AV isn’t to my liking for what I do ... The AV is too soft East west and flops around like a salmon on the creek shore - plus it’s quite abit more ... A guy could send me his 572xp for “hop-ups” and end up with a ported saw that will make mincemeat of the 500i for FAR less coin ... it also uses FAR less fuel than the 500i ... and this is comin from a STIHL guy !!!
Morning Buckin. I have been enjoying your videos for a few months now and you really got me excited about felling again. I did a short video on a tree I did in Orange Beach Alabama after Hurricane Sally. I started up a tree service again. It's my last video if you wouldn't mind checking it out. Thanks Buckin.
