Hey Buckin, new fella here. I’m from southwest of St. Louis Missouri. My new wife and son and I are building our forever home at our families farm in rural Missouri. Gettin away from the hustle and bustle of the city life. Our primary heat is going to be a wood boiler so I’ll be cuttin and choppin quite a bit. I’ve been cuttin blow downs off our farm roads for years but that’s about as far as my power saw knowledge goes. You are teaching me so much I can’t ever begin to thank you. I hope you realize just how much you are helping folks as well as bringing joy and positivity to people who truly need it. (Myself included). You are a true mentor for people who might not have a mentor in life. Anyways Buckin, just wanted to say thanks. You are the type of family man that I strive to be.

Hi All, I'm new to the channel and LOVING it. I took down a 60' redwood in my front yard last year for my first big fell. A WW2 parachute harness, motorcycle tie down for a flipline and my dirt bike boots with a set of old climbing spikes strapped on. The neighbors thought I was nuts. Now they know for sure. And from a fellow Billy Ray, no kiddin', THANK YOU for sharing your sawing experience as well as your life experience, They are both educational and heartfelt.My first experience feeling the power of Mac10 was in a go kart when I was around 10 years old. I still remember with great fondness the feeling of water streaming out of my eyes at top speed of around 70 and having that kind of power at my command. Been chasing that feeling for the last 54 years and loving every minute of it.God Bless You BIlly Ray and all of you out there.

Cheers, my Northern neighbor! Saws are awesome! Watching this video reminds me of the power-saw that I ran as a teenager in the Sierra Nevada mountains. It was a '74 Husky 490 w/ a 40" bar. That old beast could devour large rounds of oak! Now I'm grateful for the Stihl 291 that I have, cuz it's keeping my family warm here in Montana. I want to buck wood full-time & I appreciate your advice about the value of a handshake & customer service. Thanks for your videos, Billy Ray! -- Alex

Best memories as a kid, the whole family (7 kids) out in woods cutting wood and having hotdog roast over the brush pile at noon.
