Great job Buckin. I tell my wife the woods make me at peace whether it be walking, huntin, or cuttin. Keep the faith.

[@KevinsDisobedience]

I can’t agree more about hard, physical work. It’s how I’ve got ahead and continue to make a good living, with a van full of tools and good old sweat equity. That said, book learning is just as important as the blue collar skills. Ideally, kids would get both.

[@markphillips5724]

Hey Buckin, I can't say it enough on how much I've learned from you. Anytime I run into a precarious situation, I'll seek out one of your videos that resemble what I'm about to encounter. Ya saved my ass a few times on some of those hard leaners. Thanks a billion.. Stay Blessed.

[@bryanherbert5454]

I am at peace. I am not in a hurry. Perfect example of patience and planning. You make it look easy Buckin. Be kind

[@bobbrooks266]

A good afternoon to the Buckin army. Well we've all just had a tree falling lesson from the master. A pleasure and honour to see Billy at work. A warm welcome to all our new friends who have made that decision to join the army of love, so welcome. Looking forward to seeing more from Billy. Kind regards to you all from across the pond

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

GREAT TO SEE YA BIG B

[@mikekopie9897]

Just joined the Buckmaster Army. If I could learn what you forgot I'm in good shape. You are awesome sir !

[@kevinhall2266]

Buckin , Your experience, patients and thought process is priceless. One thing I’ve learned from watching you is that every tree has a different story.

[@stephenmerrill4200]

Buckin when my body is tired and sore from a day's cutting, watching your videos puts me right back on the saw. Thank you brother!

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

welcome friend

[@beav159]

You, my friend, are a legend! The teachings are from a place of kindness, wisdom, and personality! Hard to imagine the crazy trees you've felled before our BBR experience started. Keep on keeping on friend. We'll done

[@jonctipton1982]

Just started getting into saws because I just bought some wooded acreage. My ms250 quickly got found out. Got a 372xp….addicted now. At least it is a fun and useful addiction 🤙🏼 Plus I love your open and honest dialogue. Good honest hard work. We all do what it takes. Cut from a different cloth we are.

[@alexmatthews2332]

Figure out how to tune your carb properly and dual port that muffler it'll be a totally different saw and you'll love it

[@zachariahmessier5050]

Thank you for speaking to the truth of things you have discovered through experience and lessons from your teachers. These look like some very difficult shots and your explanations and decision making are very helpful. Love you friends.

Thanks for the daily uploads for years buddy I Love to sit down after loggin and relax and see a new buckin vid. I really do appreciate the work you put in for all of us, I am not a youtuber but I know the time it takes to build a buckin army. Have a wonderful week!

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

welcome buddy , thx for the words

[@michaelwhiteoldtimer7648]

It seemed like the last tree popped just before it started over, I almost thought it was going to barber chair. Great cutting Buckin

[@toddhansen5072]

Well done! The first tree made me a little nervous with your limited escape route! Love you all! ✊❤️

[@woodloveoutdoors]

You could definitely see that the second maple tree was wanting to barber chair as you were putting the back cut in nice saw work buckin ❤

[@davewash50]

What a real technical video Buckin. Classic case of measure twice and cut once. Absolutely brilliant. Loved it. Thank you

[@loganspriggs9828]

I love watching you work. In the heat of decisions already made. Committing to the work in front of you. Sizing up your opponent like a fighter in the ring and imposing your will on them simply by reading the subtleties. I know the feeling you displayed after starting your back cut on the maple. Just reading the aura of the tree. Are real spiritual encounter. I love it! Felt like I was on the stump with ya!

[@HMuny55]

Actually really cool to see your experience shine explaining the sequence in which you'll have to take the 3 trees down. Devil is in the details and the experience and knowledge shows up when you're in tough places!

[@hpelisr]

Awesome work Buckin, I like watching these type of cuts you do in tough situations. Well done.

[@carlwallace8412]

Hey buckin. Much love to you fella. Just got out after another 6 days in hospital. Thanks for keeping me sane fella. Onward and upward my friend ❤. Gotta mention my mrs. What an absolute angel.❤❤

Now that was some tricky cutting! Nice video to show exactly what needed to be done and in what order. Just beautiful scenery in the background ,wow you are blessed to work with nature at it finest 😊

[@shapeshifter7753]

Great work Buckin!! Happy to see you’ve still got er💪thanks for putting up that live yesterday 😃 that 🎶 shapeshifter diddy you did was was gold! 🙏

[@andruskisteele1897]

Buddy I'd have to say that was one of the fastest back cuts I've seen you do. I could only imagine this was running though your mind when the base wanted to barber. "Hotrod 372 don't fail me now! GO BABY GO!" always amazed at your knowledge and skills.

[@danbarth9421]

I agree totally!! There is nothing wrong with hard work, sweat, and aches lol!! And I agree as running a tree service of my own, we always processed the firewood, no sense in having waste!! Firewood has payed many bills for my family that is for sure. Be safe out there buckin and keep up the great content!! Great job laying out those trees!!

😂😂😂 the loggers 3 handed stance. 2 to hold the saw and one to pat yourself on the back. I freaking love it. Another one I'm " borrowing " from buckin.!

Very interesting cut on that second one. Good to see you into the hardwood. It is what we have most of here and I learned a few things on this video. Thanks.

They are no joke Buckin. Especially when you have nowhere to stand or escape. Thanks for this and great job! Say hay army!

22:38 is a great still image of how twisted that tree is! great stuff Buckin

[@paulmcreynolds1774]

Great job Buckin. You are a real master at your craft.

[@slimgrowden]

So right with bore cut with side lean. You can have risk of a barber chair from cutting it the standard way but I would say that most of them happen from cutting slow with your back cut but with a under powered saw that is where a strong ported saw comes in to help in a big way! In a tree where it has potential for a barber chair you back cut has to be even but you want to get to your hinge fast no stoping cutting fast and get their quick! And for my experience that mitigate the risk big time to each their own but it has never done me wrong in all the years I have been doing tree work. Great video big love to everyone and be kind to each other.🤟🏻🙏

[@Grizzman99]

Lots of great information that’ll help make some decisions on the stump. Got nervous on that first pop, really expected to watch it split but she held and went over. Nice work. Appreciate the time and effort you put into it. That it some gorgeous maple though. Make some beautiful slabs. ⛓️🪚🌲🪵🪓

[@matthew-gn4qd]

great view of the sea. the cutting worked out nice. it was a tricky one. that 2nd one looked heavy for dancing and ballet but it worked 👍💃

[@yrdGBA]

Buckin I knew I heard it POP and then you went on in the cut, very nice!

[@berkleyman1]

Hard work is great. You can stand back and see you got something done. You sure sleep like log. You don't need a membership at the health club either. Fresh air and sunshine: it doesn't get any better than that.

After you dropped the first maple buckin I realized I was tense n holding my breath too😆

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

awesome

[@andreakeeling9217]

0:01 ❤ The flip!!! I finally get it! You flip it because your changing the direction of the cutting. 😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@bevis226]

I'm not a big fan of falling Silver Maple or Sugar Maple. It's so twisted and wet that it really likes to overheat a chain and pinch a bar. I limbed and chunked a Silver Maple for my neighbor and I pinched the bar 4 times. 1 time it pinched so hard that I had to get the small saw out and cut my big bar out of a 10" limb. I cut 1/3 of the way through the bottom and then about 1/2 way through from the top the 10" limb split and pinched my bar really really good. It actually pinched the bar so hard that the rails closed up on the chain. Had to swap bars until I could pry the chain out of the bar and fix it later that evening. Lesson learned do not notch a 12" or smaller maple limb more than an inch or 2 or it will split and pinch the bar. You wanta just go through the softer pulp wood that is only about 1-2 inches deep so that it doesn't split and peel. Maple bark likes to peel because they are such a wet tree.

[@stevesmith9254]

That was cool. You know your stuff. Making a tough job look easy is tough.

[@LiveFreeOrRIP]

And that folks is why you need a BIG BLOCK saw AND a razor sharp chain... That would have barber chaired 100% if he didnt chase that thing like a ravaged beast... Scary stuff. Bore cut would have been my call but he knew he could chase it.

Good afternoon Buckin! Thanks for always sharing your methods. It helps a ton. I’m no pro by any means but i sure enjoy cutting firewood and running a powersaw in general. One question, why the conventional notch on the maple and not a Humboldt?

[@Midwestmodifiedtoys]

If there's any doubt always bust out the yellow saw

[@nseric1233]

If you had a 16 or 20 inch bar on the saw, that would have been easy, you could have stood beside the tree and got out the back when it started to go. Trees like that are common around my place and one of the reasons we run short bars, there's no room for long ones cutting clumps of maple.
