My Boy's Logging , Building a Tree climbing Axe.

Hogan is off to his first camp shift Climbing trees , Single Stem Logging, He needs an axe for his belt

[@Magoot2456]

I watch timber titans every week just hoping to see Hogan! Last week it showed him for a minute and got me all excited and happy :)

[@bubbaluvv]

i dig seeing the younger generation playin traditional grip...you raised him proper

[@davidburchfield2720]

Hogan don't know how lucky he really is to have a father to teach him about the woods in about cutting trees topping trees climbing trees he gave him a big head start in life of a tree cutter great job bucking

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

@Stirling he knows

[@davidgreen7633]

And he teaches us just as well to pass to our kids this man will never know how many people his words will reach

[@davidgreen7633]

I’ve learned more from him than any of my formans in 4 years

[@samiam830]

@@BuckinBillyRaySmith I know he knows, but does he know what we know, about knowing how much to know, when you don’t know what you need to know, when you need to know it? Because if you don’t know what you don’t know, you don’t know, you know?

[@103398J]

I had to pause for a moment they way you and your boy converse is amazing and it’s pretty much the only reason I’ve change my life, and relationship with my family thanks buckin for all you videos I think I’ve become a better man

So glad to see Hogan on a video again proud of that young man!! Best of luck to him.

[@michaelmathieu8964]

It's so true about wanting a tassie of my own. Trouble is finding one for less than 100 bucks is nearly impossible. Love this shop time. True inspiration to get my many broken axes mounted to new wood.

[@mannihh5274]

I think, it's a very special moment for a father, when his son is heading out for his first real job - enjoy! If you have electricity in your shop, I call it ridiculous to fiddle around with a cordless drill. As a wedge gets smaller to the bottom, you need a smaller drillbit than the top width of the wedge, just big enough to release the pressure. Most axe-heads are the smallest about in the middle of the eye - no need to drill much deeper. Drilling into the handle makes it useless, no way to get it tight again with another wedge.

They are logging below Fire Mountain so they fixed the road going into Sloquet Hotsprings. Both ways a long drive but there is airport and camp at Tipella Creek. Tipella is a very old camp lots of stories there including the famillies of hairy tall S man. That would be a cool film Billy visits Ganges at camp! :)

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

You just never know

[@hogansmith7075]

soaking in the hot springs after work was quite fantistic. and the river was mighty cold and perfect for the warmer days. The boys got chewed out by the pilot for scratching the interior of the heli with our caulk boots and the next really hot day when he had calmed down he flew the whole crew to a calm sandy spot in the river we had been eyeing up on our flight to and from the block to make it up to us. spent the whole afternoon swimming and laughing it up, it was a glorious day i will never forget. Happy to say that the company i am working for has quite a bit more work planned in that area, beautiful country.

Hi Buckin. Long time viewer but not much commenting. Love your content and your message. I’ve saved a lot of handles from old axes and one tool that works good for cutting out wedges is the “oscillating tool” with a wood blade. Fein is a good brand, but there are quite a few out there. Probably work good in combo with a drill bit. Keep up the good work.
