Buckin. You've helped me. I was cutting firewood today, and a scraggly dying oak needed to come down. It was leaning hard towards a bush, but because of your teachings, i was able to lay it in the wide open. It went perfectly. THANK YOU!
Well said buckin. I am a weekend firewood guy and this last winter i got a referral from one of my regulars, and i told the guy that i didn't have anything ready to burn. He told me thank you, and on his way, he went. Few days go by and i get a call and he wasn't happy. The guy he found sold him wood that wasn't seasoned. So he told me that he likes what he sees at his neighbors house, and i am now his firewood guy all because i asked a few questions and turned him down and was honest..
Hey buckn I must say that ever since I have been flowing you it's been almost 2 years. you and your story's and the skills you show is extraordinary. I have 100% changed my life in a way that I can't explain. Like one video I seen you wer talking about some things in your pasted and it grabbed me in a way that only a person in that kinda situation can really understand the power of addiction. I watch your feeds all the time and buckn you have helped me in such a big way I would go as far as saved me from myself. And for that I am grateful.
Excellent comment...yes this dude Mr Buckin has provided a truckload of content of real life work and real life experience...✅ Has shown me smarter ways to get things done with common sense and diligence of craft work. From rebuilding old drums to rebuilding a wood burning stove. Standing up to buck and getting the gullet are lyrics to his life. Has helped many of us improve our lives in big and small ways. 💜
Howdy from Kentucky, Buckin and friends. New subscriber here I've been binging these videos for the past few weeks. I learn from each one your videos and feel lifted with each and every one. What I take away the most though is not just a helpful understanding of caring for sawing but treating people with utmost respect and compassion . Thank you so much for what you have here and allowing for all of us to be a part of it .
Treating people with kindness goes a long way and this dude has taken the word respect to a good level. Buckin is my favorite dude on the RU-vid with over 3 thousand videos in the past 8 years. We have learned that he has paid some dues and chased away the blues and put his life on cruise and will let us play in his sandbox. 👣🐾🎶
Thanks for the video Buckin! Of course we leave having learnt something AND with a smile. For the first time ever I sharpened all my garden tools today because I recently went back to your axe sharpening video. And I have to say, it is thanks to you and to the community around the channel. I appreciate you all and have a blessed day!
This video is clear &high resolution, good to see. I've seen dozens of your videos; real good & instructive. A Learning tool, from you. Thank you, Dennis in Arizona.
70 here.. Watch out for the left side and driving in the slow lane is good also... these new SUVs give us so much more mileage that way also.. liked this one😊..thanks Buc❤
Thank you so much I learn something new every time I watch your videos. You said it right don't have a load or excavator to hold up the I cut alot for firewood and what I sell I'm on the ground all the time I don't have a loader or excavator we work on the ground. Thank you again so so much
I love this stuff it gives me a tickling feeling in my stomach that just makes me feel good! My saw handling skills has gotten outstandingly better since your channel has came my way! Thanks for your care and teachings it means a lot to me! Love ya brother keep up the good work!
@@ToddAdams1234 I have a 170 with a measuring stick on the bar to assure perfect sizes. But I hear ya, would be much easier to master it by eye. Save tons of time
@@SimmingtonSeasonal I often do that exact thing with my Echo CS501P when I’ve got my 16” bar on it, because that’s when I’m using the bar for a gauge. The problem is that I REALLY like to run my 20” on it with 3/8 chain instead of the .325 that it came with. BTW, it pulls MY combo just fine and I’m constantly bucking up fully bar buried in wood with it AND noodling with it to boot 😊 If it gets much worse then I’m pulling out my 372. THAT will do it with my 30” bar effectively but it won’t quite pull my 32” to my satisfaction, and I’ve got it HEAVILY (for me) muffler modded.
Sharpened my 28" chain today for probably the last time before she hits the scrap pile. Used 5/32" file I'm telling ya the teeth are tiny but still got a gullet and good top plate.. sunk it in some red oak when finished and I'm telling ya she ate like a school of pirrahnas 👍👍👍👍👍
To come home after work, sit down with Buckin' and a coffee, learn a little something about something, but more importantly, wash off the negativity and restore faith. So important to my regiment and I thank you all for it. Do me a favor and have a great day
Praying for full healing in your left arm brother. "Leave space for life to happen." My kinda good fella 👍. Keep the great video's coming Buckin loving them all. My favorite channel.
A lot of us here in the Buckin Army have had our numerous injuries and us older folks know that healing slows down with age. Great advice for our favorite dude 😎
I absolutely love your videos, I watch most of all them completely. Always end the video and your the guy I talk about to my buddies and my family. I went and sharpened my 562 with a 5/32 as well and I’m excited to get it in the wood. Keep the good videos coming and the positivity and motivation in them!
Long time fan and watcher buckin from Pennsylvania ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 think of the fps as how many pictures are taken to create the “video”. More fps more pictures… from my gathering lower fps allows more production and editing on the backend especially for slowmo action shots… but your shot is clear 🤌🏾🤌🏾🔥 last video had a purple/pink hue but was still crystal Clear and vivid … you’ve taught me a lot about two strokes in general and power saws, I’m no betting man but something tells me you’d be one hell of a wrencher for a good 250 or 500 smoker dirtbike, in the sense of jetting and even pipe r&d like you do with the saws 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🤝🏾🤝🏾🙏🏽
I'll be definitely one to say iv followed your shaping you definitely know what your doing its made a big difference in my cutting saw just floats through ❤
Techniques skills and the knowledge gained over the years you have worked in the wood business is a gift that you share on this channel. Those who watch are wise to use this better their skills. ♥️👍
Buckin thanks for all your knowledge and tips! I’ve burned wood for ten years now but only started harvesting firewood for the last 3 years solid. I’ve learned such since finding your channel! Now to upgrade my Stihl MS-170 with 16” and Echo CS-440 with 18” bar. My back is over short bars.
Great message as usual! Started Beraneks’ Fundamentals of General Treework today. Also received my Soldiers of Love cap! (Nice quality!) Having so much fun, it’s keeping my mind on the positive. ++++++++Darkness is not the opposite of Light, it is the absence of Light++++++++ Thanks again Buckin’.
5:39 This information is so important to anyone new to working with a chainsaw and is trying to learn how to buck logs that are on the ground. I dulled many chains before hearing you say this in the past! I’m glad you always think about new subscribers (and old grandmas like me who need reminders, lol!) and re-teach points like this!! Thank you so much for all of the sharpening tips! 👍
Well Mr buckin Billy Ray I got good news I got myself a husky a 440 it's not a pro model I've been out front cutting wood until it started raining on me now I can see why you like them so much
Thank you for your video Buckin’! I learned how to cut a log on the ground today, without breaking my fiancée tools 🛠️ 😂have a lovely day to you and your lovely family!!!
So many ideas!. thank you for showing me other ways to think. Stihl 362 cm. stock muffler but opened up the exhaust by 50% and truly can feel the difference in my hands!
No doubt I wanted to burn today but way too windy here upstate NY. Piled up the brush bucked and fell a few little hard maples ready to set the match when ole windy pants calms down 🤣🤣😉😉
Used to have big brush fires when i was caretaker of 200 acre wooded farm, the wind was always scary when it would pick up. Nowadays i use a weather app to see what the wind predictions are before i even light a match. It has proven valuable to prevent wildfire. 🔥
Glad to see ya out and about brother I'm learning the healing process as you say had surgery on my core can't do much please keep the videos coming thanks for what you do
Buckin you see what I see on these channel. You hit the nail on the head with right words . As an old logger just pick here and there help out the green horn that got to have the bark box 📦 and west coast dogs 🐕 and now there 500i for 6” to 14” sometime 20” to 30” there call big timber make me smile under my lip , hey 👋 what every . You and I been there cutting from sun ☀️ up 🆙 to sun ☀️ down try to bring home a good day pay 💰 for our family as we look 👀 back family all grown up 🆙. Now we drive in right lane for sure . Take care remember THINK 🤔 SAFETY and always put SAFETY FIRST leave with SAW IN THE WOOD 🪵!! ALL THE BEST from little Lennie man with over 9 lives .
BR, thanks for this tutorial. Typically we cut around camp and get rocked out. Always trying not to let the blade spark. Forever now I’ll use these techniques. Thanks
Ha ha... love it I'm not a fan of smoldering fires, however if it is summertime with massive amount of mo-skeeters i will stand in the smoke. That goes for ticks also.... Pennsylvania tick season starts now...yukk 😤
Billy Ray I don't get to cut much, but when I do it's mostly sh*ty stuff, wood that's small and been lying on the ground etc. It's good to hear ya talking about this kinda stuff. Man some of the wood I've watched you cut, over all your videos, I would loved to be able to do. I'm burning more coal than anything at the moment.
I ran a 32” bar on my MS400c today and it ran amazing. Stock everything with a muffler swap. But it cut flawlessly pulling that big bar. I’ll be posting a video of it tomorrow. 🤘🏻
🪓🪵🌲👍👍awesome content brother!! Great video on that chain, and the measage at the end...well, thats straight goods😊😊 love from my family to yours Buckin
That 565 seems like it’s a runner but I need more proof find a 20” piece of hardwood to sink it into. As that’s what we cut most here. Great videos. Stay safe
Buckin, I try to leave a small(ish) branch on the high side when bucking on the ground, and not going all the way through the log. Gives you a good handle to roll the log over to finish up bucking. Then it’s easy to knock the little branch off after. Trying to help a brother that’s helped me a bunch with filing! Also - do you have a good source for files for square ground? The dealers in Ontario look at you funny if you even ask….😂 Keep up the healing too. It takes time.
Gonna start cutting. Practicing in my back yard first of course. Bought a Stihl Ms 362 came with a 20inch bar but will run a 25. Picking that up soon. Thanks recently subbed. I’ve learned a lot from u already and I haven’t even started. Thank you!!!…..
The video looked good, the 4k your talking about. Dunno if it's any different in quality compared to the other videos you've made, to my eyes. I hotspot through my phone too the TV ,and sometimes the image can get a little blocky on fast moving images.but that's maybe due to the fact I'm running through my phone and it's maybe not powerful enough to run fast high resolution videos.
I'm loving the 5/32 file. On the 3/8 chain. Easier and faster to file yer chain. I haven't seen any videos on this subject. Lining up your undercut with your face cut. I just can't get it right.
That's where the Soldiers of Kindness get their start. It's been a few years and I'm still a Buck Private... don't mind it at all, keeps me busy, honest and happy. 💪
Bloody Hell - this saw is cutting like maniac. whish i could get my chains as sharp. My struggle is that the teeths are moving to much on the bar - hard to get a consistancy. I havent spent and thought about the size of the file - i just keep going on which i have started at. Maybe i should investigate more on that. BTW... its not about the speed its cutting for me - its about the pleasure having a perfect working tool and using it.
Hello Brother Buckin'...yes, I do a lot of slash burning in dense woodland, this is good practice you have here. So the 5/32" Husky Chain, is that standard on this saw? I have a Jonsered 2252 Ultacor (52cc) Auto tune, it screams and cuts crazy for its size. it has run well for a long time but now it dies when I set it down, I was going to take it to the dealership for a tune, do I need to? I do have a Jonsered 2055 Turbo (55cc)...this revs to 14,500, it is about 20 years old and cuts very well and it is not autotune. Peace, Health and Prosperity to you and yours, Woodsman Spirit
Wouldnt that saw work better with skip? Generally when you have too much bar for a power head skip is the way to go, you could sharpen it like normal and it wouldnt over load the saw then. I cut a bunch of small wood, we make the odd cut all the way through than roll the short sections of log onto other firewood getting it off the ground.
Hi! First: Love your content! I sure hope the shoulder gets better soon. Sitting here looking at the Husqvarna factory, I wonder if they sent you the roller file guide. Would you mind testing it for all of us who are not as proficient in filing as you are? I use a .325 chain on my saw and I think the file guide for that chain (SP33G) allows me to get a good cut even though I’m a seldom user of the saw.
I always thought my next saw would be another Stihl (have not had one for probably 30 years). Watching this series with the 562 Mark II, has really got the passion reigniting. The 562 II might be worth a passion investment. Buckin', you can tell Husqvarna there may be a convert headin' their way. On a different subject...what is your opinion on the Walker line of bars, especially the light ones?
Is that younger smaller softwood really easy to cut through or is that chain sharpness just that crazy? I cut a lot of small oaks that size and my 291 (similar power to 562) doesn’t go half that fast I don’t think
