I'm that guy Billy Ray. At 51 yo on Dec. 23rd, 2014 I had a horse come down on my shoulder and crush my lower back. During all the MRI's and x-rays they discovered that my spinal canal was all most closed off. A simple surgery left me paralyzed and in a wheelchair. About to reach the 8th year anniversary and they still haven't done anything for my lower back. But back in early 2015 when I couldn't get out of bed I discovered this thing called You Tube. Buckin' Billy Ray Smith was one of the first channels I subscribed to. Your attitude is infectious and for that alone is why I watch. All the saw, drums, ax hanging and tree cutting is like sprinkles on top. I always feel a little better after watching your video. Keep it up my friend and thank you for the inspiration.

Billy, I have always been the type of man that never hires a professional to do anything I can figure out on my own. Reality makes me aware of the dangers of tree felling so when I had the opportunity to drop 45 cypress I went back and watched a few more of your videos and decided to go for it. I dropped all and with wedges I was able to drop most exactly where I intended. Your videos and morality are a gem and much appreciated. Thank you for your time 🙏

Yup, something like this just takes a ton of experience. You need to be able to drop a lot of trees in a place where you can afford to screw up. If I were doing this kind of work, I'd be trying to drop trees in challenging ways even when I could drop them anywhere. Then when you have to do it, it's not so scary.

That is how it felt. It was personal and it hit me in the heart. Then you told me your life story and how you fought your way back and it hit me in the heart.

In my younger days, I travelled Northern Wisconsin and the UP of Michigan insuring the forest products industry. I’ve met many great stump jumpers in the early-mid 80’s. Just the smell of sawmills and logging camps is etched into my mind. But I must admit, the trees you have in the west are much larger. I’ve never seen western cedars until your videos. I subscribed just for the love of the industry. Now I’m 68 and had two pretty big (to me) trees fall in subsequent thunderstorms. They missed my tiny house by inches! God saved my house, my dog and me. Now I’m doing cleanup of the mess with a borrowed Stihl chainsaw from my pastor. It’s a bit tricky for me and I’m being as careful as I can. Your tips are very helpful. One of the trees that fell split and both halves are still attached. One side is hung in an oak while the other is lying next to my house. What scares me is the twisted half still attached and loaded, plus the half stuck in the oak.

Hey Billy. I grew up on the other end of sawdust. 81 and raised in Brooklyn NY. Not many trees in our neck of the concrete. However, as a young boy, I worked in a local butcher shop. We used sawdust everyday. It kept the floors from getting greasy to prevent slipping. We slept it away from the wall then raked it with an iron garden rake to remove any fat or garbage. We actually used a handful of sawdust to clean the maple cutting blocks in the store. We would bib it on the top of the block, let it sit for a few minutes, then we had what was called a block brush which was a wooden handle and the teeth were iron. It would scrape through the sawdust and remove any fat off the block which was absorbed into the sawdust. We would totally sweep up the sawdust twice weekly and put down fresh. Along came every agency that was going to put an end to every illness known to man. They outlawed the sawdust as well as the wooden cutting blocks. We did a lot of bone cutting with cleavers at the time and chopping on the poly boards was no going to happen. Everything with a bone then had to be cut with a bandsaw. If you look at the health of the population back then vs today, you have to laugh at the ADVANCES we have made. People are sicker and sicker, the more we advance. People do not have any resistance to anything because they have never been exposed to build that resistance. JUST SAYIN! Love the channel. Have done a fair bit of chain sawing but not much any more. Still have my STIHL 007 and 026. Love watching the pro saws, the ported and added exhausts. Would love one day to go watch a lumberjack competition. Glad you are doing well. You had a few setbacks in your life and overcame them. Who would have thunk that a lumberjack would be involved in social media? Haven’t seen Hogan for some time, hope he is doing well. Maybe one of these days I will come across a Buckin Hogan Smith channel. If you read this all, thanks. Poppy

I got introduced into falling a little over 2 years ago and it helped change my life around. Im from the StockBridge-Munsee Band of the Mohican Tribe in Wisconsin. I been sober and love going to work everyday. Ive been cutting with my 592 for the last year and i love it. I had a few minor issues like intake boot, coil, but other than that i love the saw. I cut differently than you but your videos are very helpful and help me out quite often.Thanks for your up beat spirit!

Growing up most folks around here used a traditional wedge. My pa would do an "upside down" wedge (humbolt) and he always said that if you wanted to keep a tree from getting hung up you better make it run off the stump. Big angles, and he would use a gap face cut on one like that to get it to pick up speed to drive through the other trees. Back then we didn't know the real names of cuts or really how to do a lot of stuff but we got things done. After I grew up I learned a lot more, and honestly I have learned a lot more stuff here on the internet, mostly how well I was taught and why a lot of it works the way it does.

I just spent all day cutting ash with my Mac 10-10 automatic. Tuned it up based on your tuning guide. This saw is so awesome. I absolutely love it 100%. I wouldn't even know about it if it weren't for you! I got it with 9 chains and two bars off Facebook marketplace for $10 not running. Had 125psi on the gauge, so I figured go for it. Got a used carb off another saw, fired right up. I've been using the echo red guard at 40:1 and echo bar oil. I love it. I wish these ash trees weren't all dying, but that's life eh? Love your silver truck.

Companies today make way, way more money selling crap that doesn’t last at outrageous prices. Thanks BBR, your videos are great! ❤👍

Great video. Enjoyed the in-depth start to finish of falling a Big tree in a tight window. I learned more about wedge placement. Thanks Buckin.

I learned more on the wedges. Good video. I always wondered why i would need a full wrap. It was explained to me this time. Thanks.

Like you said at the start, I don't do anything related to trees. I just come by to watch you do your job, and to listen to all the stories and advice you give. I don't understand much of the tree related advice, but I listen anyways, because it's fun to watch and learn! Happy holidays from Mississippi, Buckin!

I cut a dead ash recently where the undercut closed up, and the tree got caught in the canopy of other trees and stayed stuck on the stump. That was a hassle! Opening up the undercut wider like you taught would have prevented my problem. Great stuff. thanks JP

That's so funny bucking when you made your first cut I thought he has to open that up and I learned that from your channel you shut yourself off and you said yep I'm going to open it up so it has time to travel I've been cutting for 20 years I'm 39 now I started when I was 18 I'm a tree climber and I learned a lot from your channel falling trees definitely I wish I could work by you for a month or two man it would be a dream come true

I know its an old video and there might be no activity here BUT I can see youre being very conscious of your work. You dont do unnecessary lifting or heavy swinging, keep the saw running and inside the tree so you dont have to lift it out every time, move fluidly everywhere and hit the wedges with a relaxed rhythm and not a 2handed fast bang. Gotta love it :) Minor details keep the body in good shape to work another day!
