HOW TO RIGG A TREE TOP TO ITSELF, USING JUST A ROPE

[@robg836]

I just started watching this channel and Ive gone back and watched a lot of videos from the passed couple of years and I really am loving my time here because I never feel like I get ripped off with lack of content or a lack of an explanation from Buckin'. His video are one of the few that when I see them in my subscription box I know it will be worth my time to watch and I will enjoy it and even learn stuff. Thanks for the commitment to us subscribers buckin'....it means a lot when people aren't just in it for the views and for the chip on their shoulder but are actually doing it for the good of mankind spreading joy and love.

Rob G WELCOME! Great to have you along on the Buckin Billy Ray Experience!!!

[@troytreeguy]

What a great time hangin with ya this morning Buckin! Thought for sure your hand was gonna burn on that top! You had it all under control 👍 be well everyone 🙏

[@admiraltreeservices1384]

My guys say im an old school climber, they've got all the gadgets! Nice to meet another old schooler who rigs things the same as I do! Nice one Buckin'!!

[@jessebodey9421]

Fun. I usually use a portawrap and ringsling or block. It makes alot of stuff for me to carry but it runs smoothly. Folks around here frown on tree guys working without someone on the ground. Anyhow, good job Buckin , you did great!

[@distantlight1995]

You know it`s really always nice to me watching a craftsman! I can`t stop watching.

[@petersteiner872]

As usual sure I enjoyed the vid! You made my day again. You keep that little light of positivity burning in at least me. I‘m proud to be one of the pack. Thank you.

Buckin' Billy Ray Smith: Well, it‘s all about you and your channel. If one gets involved by subscribing, he is into it head over heels. Or he leaves. I‘m here to stay.

[@Bluecollar711]

These are the best talks I could literally watch your videos for hours and hours and hours it’s like getting to know a good friend even better

[@richardhammer6559]

Hey buckin,i am retired from the climbing, being up there in years,but we use to do it that way for many years.I know that some of the gear out there blows my mind now,but that was the old school way.Even when we use to take big wood,we would take wraps on the bottom of the tree,with the bull rope,way back before the fancy gear was out.Great job my friend.Appreciate you showing em how it's done.Nothing like youtube

[@johncostin606]

Every time you do the 'dancing in the shop' cutaways, I just bust out laughing. Can't help it and my sides really hurt right now. Keep up the good work.

[@chrismiller4015]

BUCKIN GREAT VIDEO!! AS ALWAYS FULL OF LOTS OF KNOWLEDGE AND INFO

[@nduncad686]

That crew cab is a sweet heart

[@kenstormer131]

Very nice thing you did for the busted up logger and his family .......your a good man Sir.

[@roitrans9920]

As usual. You make it look so easy and fun. Thanks buddy for all you do.

[@TheBlazad]

Exact and efficient work, not only the tree job but video also . Cheers buckin! Love to ye all on here.

[@dougperry9898]

I really like your tree cutting vibe. No nonsense. Simple approach to cutting trees.

[@jeffreyrubish347]

Nice weather you are having. It's single digit here. I never tire of, "She cuts, eh?" Love it!

[@Factotum71]

I never have been into youtube but I guess that Bucking Billy just changed that. I really appreciate the positive energy and passion that he has. I also am a big fan of 70's metal.

[@davidcokley1929]

Hey BUckin', I loved the video. Good to see you in the trees again. Welcome to all the new subscribers and howdy to all the true blues. I hope everyone is having a great week. Be kind, friends.

[@larry323]

Great job Buckin! I love watching the old school riging. It's a thing of beauty! Lar

[@justintesterman3974]

Awesome video Buckin. Thanks for letting us tag along. I get a little nervous when you climb up to where the tree is smaller than your arm. That’s wicked brother. Stay safe.

[@brent4625]

Hey Buckin, just wanted to say thank you. I've been subscribed for a year or so now, and I have always enjoyed the content. I'm especially thankful for it today, have just not been in a good mood all day, and didn't really have much going. Then I noticed you posted a video and watching it has brought a smile back to my face to end off today. So thank you Buckin for being a great guy, for the things you post and the message of kindness. It truly brings me hope to see the good in this world.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

SWEET BRENT ,,THX

[@jieg01]

Great to see you back in the trees

[@JohnSmith-ov7gc]

Your right Bill, I believe a lot of us get in the habit of forgetting to hit the thumbs up. Have seen to many of your videos, which they are all outstanding. Will do better on taking time to hit the like icon. Thanks and please keep up the great videos and pass on the knowledge. Cheers

[@focusstevezx3]

My favorite Macs are the right hand start 10 series. Love how you still make them earn their spot in the saw shop! Always learn life lessons on your videos. Thanks Buckin'

[@sharonmiller8132]

Buckin, You keep my eyes stuck to the screen like I'm watching for my lottery numbers to turn up so I can do the happy dance, very entertaining and inspiring. I love the tips you give and my saw cuts way better thanks to your cutting tips. I look forward to watching all your videos. Thanks again Buckin.

[@samrogerskeeponkeepingon1486]

I get taken to school every time I watch your videos. Very informational I really appreciate it. I've been cutting trees for almost 15 years and never climbed. That's going to change real soon I will be very careful

[@mtmskogserviceas7704]

Love it. In the crispy air you just rocked that tree. You came down no harm done. All good. Mort

[@mennolourens986]

Hey Buck, thnx for your instructions. Always learning from you as a firefighter in Holland... save work and blessing.

[@paulcamara6709]

Great video! I love watching a craftsman at work.

[@aliced9481]

Yes BR definitely enjoyed this vid. Always lov your tree work especially when you explain everything you're doing! Even if I've heard or seen it bfor, this is how learn things. Lov it buddy thank you

[@jbwright4]

Thanks for your instructions in the tree. Most youtubers are in too much of a hurry to show rigging techniques, which are the most important part of tree work in my opinion. With others its more about the spectacular fall other than the preparation it takes to be safe and effective.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

we ball are so different arnt we thx

[@kennethgranger9236]

Another great video. Thanks Buckin.. and thanks for the detailed explanation. Great work. Enjoyed this. Ken

[@964840934]

Buckin 'Billy Ray Smith You are really a good professional and I have learned a lot of consigosó I am sorry for not doing some services because I do not have the most necessary material and so I am depending on third parties, but what I have already learned is already very good. I'm just sorry I do not know how to speak English, I have to use the translator ... Hugs, I admire you a lot. I speak from Portugal

[@spencermcginty9812]

You put some time into this one Buckin!!! Always great to watch you do anything from drumming to tree work👍 that was a nice little job you had. In all reality, that tree made a lot more wood than most probably thought it would. Love to you and the family❤️

[@benbalet2437]

Stellar vid Buckin, I love watching you climb! I climb at my college for the ESF woodsman team but I just learned so much more watching top that tree.

[@loadeddog8015]

Gday to all new subscribers an over due salute to friends who are the true blues... good vid mate, sure was a hard days yakka. Liked the old pics also. .... started Monday here. Everyone have a great week... love ❤️n hugs 🐨for mama buckin 💐.....😎👍🇦🇺

Good to see you LD, all the best Shankers

[@adamhopper1317]

Glad you are over your sickness Great video

[@BradlyFackrell]

I'm a mason and I spend a lot of time on ladders and scafolding in dangerous places but, watching you made my work seem like a day in the park. Takes a special person to do what you do my friend!

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

i love ladders brother thx

[@EvidenceofaFabulousLife]

Nice edit Lord Buckington. Surprising (to me) to see how big those limbs are actually from the other perspective. When you have the helmet cam on and you are taking them off at the tree, they don't look that long, but the other camera really showed that. Nice property your buddy has there and in very nice shape by the looks of things. All the best everyone, Shankers

[@stevencroon]

Those old saws will still fill the truck!! Buddy that was nice. Great week to all the army, Cheers

[@christate107]

You have inspired me more then you will ever know. God bless you 🙏

[@rmilanio]

Sorry, Billy Ray, been watching you for some time now. I should've subscribed earlier and just did so today. You take the time and effort to school us newbies (me), and I appreciate it. Been doing this stuff for years and you keep schooling me. So far, I still got all my fingers. Yeah, you got skills! But mostly I watch it because of your uplifting attitude and down to earth talk which is applicable to life in general. You're listed as entertainment but you should be tagged for instructional also. My biggest take away is you the ever endearing statement at the end of your cast, "Be kind !". Now that's gonna stick with me for some time. Thank you and God bless!

[@fliplinefrancis5742]

Good content, Love how you keep everything old school and no frills when you climb. Climb High, Be Safe, Stay True to you as always. Much Love from the PNW!

[@gregmacewen6330]

I enjoyed that one Buck'in. Good stuff!

[@quincyogborn5016]

I'd have to say thank you BUCKIN' Billy after subscribing and watching your videos and how you done things in the tree helped me go from a B climber to a top climber ( A climber) for the tree company I work for. Cant wait to see what comes next on your channel !!!!!

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

GOOD SHOW

[@DM-rp7ps]

Hi Buckin, Love the hat! Purchased as a birthday gift to my Brother. We used to do landscaping and tree work together and discovered recently we both enjoy your vids! Listening to the intro on this one, I'm reminded the u-tube app on a smart tv takes away the ability to reply as we see fit. Maybe you can tell 'em that! Keep up the good work and positive messaging, we may take 'em yet! Thank You, D McB

[@fustratedfisher]

Hey buckin I know you are smart as they come in what we call work ( not work if you love what ya do ) and I would never tell you to do anything because you are doing it different but you really should wear eye and ear protection sir- that's all buddy great vid as always.

the greatest videos are you climbin, could watch all day . hello new subs and welcome

[@mike-yp1uk]

It's very entertaining and interesting. I like the music in the last one and your mom wrote the material. I share them for entertainment with my friends.

[@ethanlancaster76]

Love your vids Buckin’ Billy and I’m not trying to split hairs here brother but a “munter hitch” is similar to the clove hitch but one loop passes through the outside of the hitch and the other on the inside. What you’re using to rig up a “false crotch” that is a half hitch but when used to distribute weight over a longer anchoring point, or if the tree has slick bark that doesn’t make much friction on your rope is called a “marl”. It’s mostly used in front of your running bowline or inverted above your running bowline to make your cut butt heavy so it doesn’t swap ends or shock load the rope or the tree. I’m an old school feller and I love your channel and especially your saw collection “FRIEND”!

[@jeremyfortune7274]

I like um all man, I’m kind of new to your channel so I’ve been going back and watching the older ones. It’s good content!! Even if you don’t like power saws and cutting trees it’s something educational in everyone for everybody! I want one of your axes… and a muffler for my baby 60cc husky so I’ve been glued to them all.

[@WildBill1122]

First hi to all the buckin army. That little 10 10 with the .325 was sure cutting sweet.

[@tonyrobbins6]

I have a cheap Chinese gray market 42cc saw with an Oregon 20" speed cut bar. It cuts hardwood like butter and it is a .325 Believe it or not, the 20" speed cut is 1.5 pounds lighter than the 22" that came with the saw. I also have a mac mini 35 and wanted a speed cut bar for it, but they only make one in 18" and I wanted a short (12") for the mini. The chain for the mini is non-safety 3/8 LP, so it cuts pretty aggressively.

[@Krayziebone456]

Welcome everyone. I'm still trying to catch up on all the newer videos.....hope you feel better billy 👍👍

[@johndimech8945]

Perfectly executed. Well done. I wish there was a way that the cleanup took less time then taking down the tree. Cheers.

[@williamhenderson-xe8bh]

Hey bro I'm a climber and I only use ropes like that...I can't do all that rigging stuff.I been climbing for 21 yrs now I love it...

[@MaxwellPSmart]

Love the sawing adventures. You're an excellent example of passion for your job. You might want to take care of your hearing a bit more.sucks to be saying "what" all the time with you friends n family . The soft green n reds ones on a lanyard work awesome cause they allow you to hear conversation and take that exhaust note down .makes running noisys way more enjoyable .Thanks for the vids.

[@oregonbackroadadventures4089]

Old school . Awesome
