CLIMBING AND REMOVING ROTTON TREE, ANGRY BEES NEST

me, the boy, and victor cutting down a couple dead trees and fending off some angry hornets in the proccess

[@davidpugh6495]

Buckin' tells Hogan to go in there after those hornets with "determination". Bahahahaha. What a funny line right before the bees light y'all up. Im just glad that the hornets didn't get you while you were up in the tree

[@brianrummel966]

Bee safe out there Buckin 🐝. Bee kind everyone. 🐝 love everyone thanks Buckin. ❤️🐿

[@cannonball9478]

Every tree guy does the mad dash from the angry hive ha ha. Felt bad for laughing until you did Buckin ha ha. Always look up before rushing in. The finishing cut often catches out new groundies especially when pruning I find or the hand saw. I personally always climb with two attachment points (wizz down quick if there's a problem). Great cabium savers now that would save you cutting a wedge to come down on which grip to the timber (teuflberger). Love the throw rope skill. Glad you got the job cracked and good will to all subs

[@nate2838]

i've been getting into using my cambium saver more, and now that i'm more familiar, i recommend that anyone who is thinking about getting one, definately go longer than you think you will need, and go adjustable (whether is premade that way or you ad a ring on a prusic). trust me you will thank me later after you've used it awhile. My first was way to short, nearly useless (2ft?) my second is 4 ft so more useful however not being adjustable can be a pain on smaller stuff, and not large enough on larger stuff. now thinking of getting a 6 footer with adjust ability Once you figure out how to stow it on your saddle its great to have.

[@MCDTreeServices]

Fantasic, it's never to late in the evening for Buckin and coffee👍🇮🇪🍵

[@davidcokley1929]

Hey Buckin' Glad you and Hogan didn't get hit too many times by those big hornets. They gotta hurt when they nail ya, eh? It was great to see you back up in the trees again, if only for a little while. You, Hogan and Victor stay safe up there. Good evening to all the True Blues and ALL my fellow soldiers. I hope everyone had a great week. Welcome to all the new subscribers. Jump in the comment section and say hello. Love and blessings to all.

[@cannonball9478]

Worked with my nephew yesterday. He's already doing really well. Thanks for the inspiration old bean ha ha

[@24nathan48]

Then black hornets are no joke, I remember I was in the woods with my dad as a teenager falling timber for a post and beam shop we were going to build and I had just finished my face cut moving around to put my back cut in and stepped on a ground nest well I got hit six or seven times before I got out of there, trust me I wasn’t laughing when I seen you and your boy go running, I still remember that day vividly, the worst part is I had to go back in there to finish the tree off, got to love the fun you can have in the woods with your dad.

[@ivanhamlyn]

I haven't been on KZbin much lately but it's good to get back and see my friend buckin billy ray and everyone in this community, Hows everyone doin? Hope everyone is doin good, boy Buckinstock was awesome wish I was there to meet everyone, take care guys

[@MWiles123]

Wasps are bad, but Hornets are no joke! I was topping one once, cut into a hollow. It was like a scene from Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull... Big Biting ANTS !!! ( And no rappel line) that will make you strip quick boy! Even in front of a customer!

[@MWiles123]

Right on point about the groundsman as well. You should never approach a climber in the tree, without looking up first! A dropped hand saw or fallen tools off of your belt, can put ya in the hospital from that height!

[@nicolascatalano5744]

I got put in a pinch with a hive one time and it was not pretty. I was younger and in expierienced. And did not clear a right of way upon entry. Did not attack compression first. Bar to my power saw had become stuck and they came out of the tree like wild fire. The thorn thicket and the bees ate me up pretty good. I have learned so much from you Sir. Thankyou so much for your guidance and wisdom. Truly.... Thankyou Buckin... 💚✊🤙🤙

[@beenjamin2003]

Hey buckin, when you get time could you please do a video of climbing basics, what gear you recommend for a beginner ect.

[@nomad-pq4yw8iy7v]

Sometimes in life we unintentionally stir up hornets nest so folks remember 2 bee kind! thanks for the vid BBR.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

you are most welcome good friend

[@TimberTramp]

Big black bald face hornets are like getting hit with a .22! Be careful boys!

[@mikeh8712]

“Ok son, what you need to do is..” best line ever! Lol

[@teamwkey9473]

As soon as I saw the hardhat come off, I knew it was bees! I've had em get into the vents on my petzl, and buzz around inside it. Haha. Sucks when it's you, but always funny as hell when it's not!!!! Stay safe brother!!!!!

[@famasmaster2000]

Love to see you back in the saddle brother "B" Great video....love all the info !! Love to all 💕💕

[@spencermcginty9812]

This is like the hillbilly tree climber version of Steve Irwin the crocodile hunter😂😂😂 I feel your pain fellas! We have a bunch of underground nests around here. I’m sorry I laughed, but the commentary was classic😂 love to you and the family❤️

[@christianlawson1214]

oh boy stupid mstake bees are nasty

[@luke8210]

We've got Africanized bees here. They are no joke. Worked with a guy that died from being attacked by them...keep it safe brother. Love the content keep em coming!

[@dondupuis7798]

That was a whole lot of info, thanks for sharing. Many others would have cut the bee encounter out of the video. .........👍 cheers Don

[@mtmskogserviceas7704]

Hornets and treework doesnt match. Nice video my friend. Love the combo son and father.....and og course Vic. You are awesome. Mort

[@wayne-wango-wever8393]

No love &kindness for bald faced hornets!! Glad you guys are ok .

[@gerritvanwilligen]

Those where some angry animals! About the advice in the end: that's what I (among other things) love about your video's: you're always 'making sure' when it comes to safety. Making sure your groundcrew is safe when you're up there as a climber, making sure the undercut is well cleaned out... These kind of small things that in the end DO matter to make it home safely when the job is done. Thanks very much for sharing!

[@briandhinz952]

Nice ropin there Buckin ... single strap climbing and back barring... umm umm , I never do either any of that .. yeah sure ...... Them big black ones are wicked mean , I got whacked by some a week ago , I got hit 20 or so times it was rough I was down the whole next day ... He He He ... I went back and got them with my propane flame thrower ...

[@jasonhull5712]

Fighting more than just the tree sometimes... good stuff Buckin’ bee 🐝 safe !

[@jacoboslandscapemaintenanc1988]

Talk about a close one, glad you and Victor are ok. Thank you for sharing all your invaluable tips.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

yer welcome

[@ducarty1188]

Great to see you back in the trees Buckin but I don't think the hornets are happy about it. Your boy is coming along nicely. Cheers.

[@pjmlawncare42]

Great job on that hang up there Buckin !!!! Love it my FRIEND!!!

[@dereksheaffer608]

Awesome vid

[@anthonylandis]

A nest of mad bees can put a wrinkle in anybody's day

[@chrj86]

I´m so glad KZbin recommended you for me. Sharing many small details about tree cutting and techniques throughout your videos. Appreciated. Two thumbs up!😁 And last but not least, it's funny and entertaining to watch too.

[@leonardvirtue5753]

Smoke!!!!! On the water! !!!!! 😂😂😂😂👍👍 some in his eyes!!!!!!! Haha.

[@TheRinkboss]

Hahahahaha...Ive had those ground hornets come up my pant leg ..., that was dance to be seen , haha , they are mean buggers . Great vid bud . Good day Buckin Army, hope everyone is well, be kind .

[@robinl2917]

Aaaaaaaaloha! Wowwww...i love that rappeling technique. Gonna practice. Your daily work life is an inspiration. Im catching the arborist bug. Mahalo.

[@huckmiller1971]

I don't know what it is that makes me laugh when someone gets stung . Good old Hornets , they are meaner then any other Bee ! As kids we chucked rocks at the nest ! After to or three rocks , they would follow the rock back & it was time to get stung ! Good one Billy !

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

you bet

[@tazman-kennyfuller]

Oh man I Love it. Buckin the bee whisperer. He he I think we made it to plan C on that one eh. Thanks Buckin. 🌲❤🌲

[@derekdolbey7491]

Love this video, great info! Man those hornets are no fun! Great job!

[@ximono]

That was some great entertainment! I know that adrenaline rush from being chased by pissed off bees. But hornets are on a different level. I'm a beekeeper, their behaviour reminds me of swarms of honeybees. If the cluster is broken up they will split into groups, some sticking to the queen and others staying where they used to hang around. They all try to seek out the queen, so in the end the biggest clump of bees is where the queen is. Interesting to see how you work up in the tree, great video!

[@mrbixler1]

Great episode, keep up the good work guys!

[@Andyshine77]

😆 Those darn things burn like crazy. ✌❤

[@michaelremski8295]

Better you than me with the hornets; allergic reaction isn't pleasant.

[@ericluchtenburg2818]

Oh I love it great vid every logger knows this situation

[@nathanbrodeur]

Billy what you need is a pump sprayer filled with premium fuel and a lighter and roast them

[@cynthiaherr9029]

No doubt that will make ya hustle outta there Wow didn't realize they were hornet's that'll make a bad day for real. Way to go Hogan for getting it outta there..Friend's have a great weekend and be safe out there, Much love to you all..

[@jayhanagan279]

Dude...awesome trick snaggin' that dead maple limb. Buckin', you're a Tree Stud. Nice work bro!

[@leonardvirtue5753]

Man!!!!! Is that your cardio for the day or what!!!!! You 2 can run!!!!a😂😂😂😂😂👍👍👏👏👏👏

[@stu4516]

This is the best video Iv sin in a long time haha great work buckin billy Ray.

[@MRKUE]

Man thats good stuff! I love watching your videos!

[@neekniggit3606]

Buck thanks for the saw lanyard test. I can't even begin to tell you how many people have told me the saw would go through like a hot knife through butter. Obviously that's not the case. Now I can have some sense that my equipment will work. Not that I ever want my lanyard taking a hit, but if it does it's not a huge problem.

[@amilton4849]

I don't usually laugh at another mans pain. But this Keystone Cops episode has me in tears. Sorry guys but it is funny to watch. Love you guys. Be kind. Al

[@lilaboys4257]

[@Brian.N]

They like to chew bark for making their nest,and they also like sap.

[@neekniggit3606]

Wow your chainsaw in slow motion sounds just like a quad runner. That's so cool!

Rock on bucken! Keep the hits coming!

[@jeffreyrubish347]

Hornet (paper nest wasps) stings don't bother me much anymore, but yellow jacket (ground wasps) stings hurt like heck!

[@trimbaker1893]

I can only laugh now because I too, got it pretty bad with hornets not too long ago... I was cutting brush on some mountain land, and must have put my boot in their nest. I am glad I was dressed for rattlesnakes because my waist high chaps kept my legs from getting stung, I did not know I was in em till the first one stung my face. That got me moving! I was running, wiping them off my sleeves, I whacked my face quite a few times, getting the hornets, by the time I got to the cabin I was swelling up. I took some benadryl and by that evening, I looked like a shaved moose. my upper lip was hanging over my chin. I am glad you got out of the tree before you got stung. That would have really been frustrating to be clipped in at the same time. Right on Buckin', this video shows some of the things that really happen. I really enjoyed the lecture on "no, I won't do a video on cutting your strap while making an undercut" when you said "why would you do that?" it reminded me of how my Dad used to end some of his lessons to me growing up... Smiling, George.

[@gregbrown9271]

Lol day in the trees with bee's it could of got real bad fellas 💣💣😲👍👍👍

[@stevepippin7013]

Be safe brother

[@redcanoe14]

Buckin'...you are playing with fire with these Hornets. Last Year I was on my own falling some 90 foot Aspens and I dropped one and proceeded to take out the top limbs when a bunch of Bald-Faced Hornets flew at me, two got in my shirt and one stung the back of my hand, they chased me for 400 metres, just felt like a red hot rod had been put on me. The following day my hand was double its normal size. They rank in the top five most painful stings on the Planet! There are also some large black hornets with a white butt, they are as mean as Hell too.

[@pb9926]

You got the job done, excellent !!!

[@onthedry8386]

great video ....again

[@erichusqvansonswanson7955]

I have probably had 20 jobs where I have to come back at night with headlamps and take care of bees and hornets while the were tucked in for the night. I once plugged a ground nest that was later excavated and it was 4ft by 4ft by 3ft area under the forest floor. Was incredible what they can do the mean suckers

[@woodwoman9130]

The BEST!🐝

[@577buttfan]

You guy crack me up,never mess with a bold face hornets nest they will get you everytime hahahaha funny as shit watching this LMAO!!!

Thanks for the happy birthday wish and the chuckle your comment gave me hahaha

[@darryls9368]

What a great video, way to stick with it Hogan and Billy👍🏼 is that a Dollie you were using????? I told ya that, didn’t i😄

[@cynthiabeckenbaugh5189]

Trimming out dead trees in our pine forest. My father and sister were cutting and i was moving brush. I stepped into a ground nest. Thirty bees on me in two seconds. I crushed them with my hands. In my hair crawling in my clothes . They stayed focused on cutting. A few minutes later they asked why was a running around like a crazy person. Lol memories.

[@nickmalarkey2619]

Buckin you are a animal love watching your channel two thumbs up

[@chrisclark4010]

Looks like there might be something rattling around in that mitten

[@michaelwhiteoldtimer7648]

sorry you got stung but this was to funny. love your tree climbing videos

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

HEY MICHAEL

[@_thefallguy9342]

Buckin you should try a rescue 8! You can tie a running bowline at the top of your stem and rappel down on a single line. Much faster and smoother. Can also zip down fast if you gotta get away from those bees! Take a look friend you might like it. It’s a cheap tool that can be used for all sorts of other things as well!

[@kevinwenzel324]

I would have guessed that chain would have been junk after hitting the cabel on purpose. Every time my chain gets in a argument with steel it loses.

[@Chevron.Muskoka]

I agree Buckin no competant climber if going to cut their strap on the undercut thats just ignorance not an accident. If your buying some carabiners check out the DMM multi pack. Theyre a uniform oval so they dont taper like a petzl, there's more room for the 5/8" rigging line. The vermeer dealer was around $115 for a 4pack in Ontario.

[@davidclarke4040]

Hi Buckin great video Google job staff safe buddy

what kind of maintenance do you do on your spurs?

[@Qgal5kap123]

Can't count how many times I've thought of FIRE during this episode.

[@aidanhobgood1765]

I was out cutting firewood one time and fell a tree with the same black hornets you guys dealt with and saw gas is the best weapon you have against them in a pinch!

[@karlasplund5569]

love the old school 2100 used for dropping balsam tree

[@williamcorona6350]

Funny! I'd take hornets over poison oak, tho...

[@hpelisr]

The bee's may have a hole in the ground?

[@neekniggit3606]

You need a Bee Kit. Bee keepers full suit and then you can do what you have to do without getting stung.

[@tdo7d11]

Spray carb cleaner, starting fluid or brake cleaner (not the non chlorinated kind) at the flying ones and they’ll drop like a rock.... I do it all the time and it’s saved my hide.
