[@MATT.MAN-PEACE-LOVE]

Ok now that 8:49 was one of the greatest golf club axe swings I have ever witnessed I remember saying may the wing of buckin swing an axe with force greater than before! Step aside! The goat has arrived! hehe ✌️❤️🌲🪵🪓🐝

[@Touchit344]

Wish I had that type of wood. My property is 260 acres of maple, oaks and beech. Hardwood deluxe

[@milescivis1018]

That’s firewood that will burn and burn. Cold winters make hard wood, hard wood makes tough men, tough men get to sit by warm fires.

[@dirtysouthcreeker]

Same just oaks, all hard wood, splitting it with a mall , is hard work, that's why I invested in a log splitter, it's still time consuming

[@steely1neverwane]

@@milescivis1018 I really like that, a play on Voltaires words: "Strong men create good times Good times create weak men Weak men create hard times Hard times create strong men

[@WatersFirewood-vv4cw]

Red oak splits that easy, beech ain’t too bad

[@willsteelrandall]

Yes, hard wood is where it's at, no comparison.

[@newman7610]

Good exercise for ya, but if working in the rain you can't separate the sweat. Haha!

[@HairlipButcher]

Gotta watch a little bit of the wood man before I go cut a load of firewood. It's 4:50am and I'm ready to go! DGP and amsoil here we go boys!

[@poelmanshugo4997]

The move at 5:20 was way too smooth, love it

I love watching this channel. This guy seems to be a very decent person.

Mom and Sis just got some nasty hail/rain last weekend in Eatonville, Washington. (Little town in the foothills of Mt Rainier) For me, record heat this week in Vegas. 105-111°

❤love the music and this video . I enjoy your videos Buckin

[@edwardpriestley2747]

Everything is right with the world Buckin swinging the axe like a champ smooth and with the timing like a Rolex thanks Buckin!!!

[@jimsnorgleson]

I enjoy splitting wood, need a heavier axe like yours.

[@davidpetrus1748]

nice video buckin nothing better than getting some exercise like that because you can and able it feels great afterwards the only problem us northeastern folk have is there is usually not to much wood to split your way when i was younger we always used a mall and sledge hammer now a little older and wiser i use a gas powered splitter yeah i know tell me I'm cheating lol its still alot of work dropping the trees and getting them home be safe

[@Alexhulk]

I really miss splitting and falling Douglas Fir Here though wood..! And don't smell as good

Wise words to the young bucks of the world…… but they won’t learn until they have the bad back themselves 😂😂😂

Great to see you swinging the axe again Buckin! I could watch this all day. Nothing better than getting outside and getting some work done. God bless all!

I know what you mean about going backwards. I have a bad Back also. I'm bad about overloading it. Great Video.

[@jirusjirus9322]

Buckin... love the hard rock and roll but it's missing your drums... Is that from the odd neighborhood...? There's a few of us always waiting for the Buckin logs to be in your hands and blasting off with some rockers. Your gift of the flow workout is well documented with the splitting ax in your hands (The Wood Bullet) And your drumming flow is also documented in some of your 3,000 videos...we anxiously await your next drum destination. And of course anyone who hasn't seen the live concert of "The Band from Glad"... look it up. Buckin Billy on drums and backup vocals.... Mama Buckin on guitar and lead vocals. Good stuff, the album available on the website. ✅✅✅ Now where the heck did i put my gosh darn turntable...? 📻🎨🎷🧦📀

Sutton Hoo ship documentary from England's Time Team, would open someone's eyes about 'just how far back' the whole timber working practice goes back.

[@DocOfAllTrades]

Great to see you swinging an axe again!

[@rtdc5662]

best way to split firewood. not bending over picking up logs, over and over. very little maintenance, don"t have to listen to a loud ass log splitter, dont have to spend 5 grand to burn firewood. i live in ohio where everything is oak, ash, hickory, locust, elm, and maple. i just love splitting with my axe collection.

[@steely1neverwane]

That was a impressive display. A wood splitting session has never looked so good or so easy. All the best to everyone.

[@richevy5224]

That kind of swinging looks dangerous to me. All I can picture is one of your viewers putting the Ax through his/her leg, foot or ankle. Safety is paramount when splitting fire wood.

[@HMuny55]

Buckin, make sure to get some collagen powder and a good joint support glucosamine pills. that combo actually does wonders for the joints, beyond a good protein intake in the diet. protein being the building block for all tissues of course.

[@daveyboy6985]

Hi Buckin, my mate replaced my Kelly axe handle with a lovely handle he made for it, ( Kowhai wood from here in Nz) Now itll definitely be a family heirloom that'll get a bit of work done, Anyway all the best from New Zealand 😊

[@danstevens2204]

Yeh our Aussie wood doesn’t split like that. Is that Justin Johnson on guitar?

[@craigrandall]

Splitting hardwood is easy, especially when it's cold. I live in northern Minnesota and cut and split most of my firewood in the winter. I will say however, that Elm is miserable! That stuff is what caused me to invest into a two stage splitter.

[@critterg8493]

You and Dad looking good friend

[@genxprepper2287]

Hi. Holly molly buckin I have a chance to work for a local tree company in my home town. Wow, I want to live the life of chopping and splitting. I'm ok being a ground guy keeping it clean and safe underneath. Perfer it actually. Hope I get the job. Hell yeah.

[@waltermejia779]

Hi bucking good to see you. Missed ya. Great video

[@trishaandmikefasbender4860]

started watching you about 6 months ago, I have learned a lot from your content, can I get an ax ?

[@paulsims6888]

Maybe mention Northwest BC. Sweet wood!

[@trebornesregrot]

Here in Utah I would have to split all the 2 more times to get it to burn without a blower! Altitude ya know!

[@justinsantapole7507]

Gled to see back out there

You should put more Buckin Mom songs ❤

[@DeliveryBryan]

I see the "Band from Glad" album is available on the website. Now if i can just find my turntable and get it to work... something I'm looking forward to. ⏳

[@elong35]

Love how you get that head to stick. Makes moving that wood around easier. I need to find your videos where you explain how it’s done!

[@steely1neverwane]

I've heard Buckin say that it's all in the profile of the axe head.

[@elong35]

@@steely1neverwane yes. I found a video from 3 years ago “Splitting firewood, talking axe profiles”. I’ve been watching for years and I wanted to watch them again. I have built a few new axes and want to get that edge. I just don’t have a belt sander. Buckin’ teaching and sharing his knowledge are my favorites!

[@steely1neverwane]

@@elong35 Maybe the "stick" is more elusive than we thought,, hahaha, onya mate.

[@jirusjirus9322]

I have not ground down a profile on an ax ...YET...(Did some minor sharpening with a grinder years ago pre-Buckin) ⏳ but was planning on using a handheld belt sander on it's back now that I've scrounged a few old axes from the flea market and have many projects to keep me home and busy creating new profiles on old tools. Buckin has elevated my desire to finish the jobs that are unfinished but the body has been abused and really starting to slow down physically. Gosh darn...all those old injuries do add up. 🚧🪵🪓

Thank you Buckin’ for sharing your wisdom with us. We do not have Instagram but on KZbin you are on top of the notification 🔔. Lots of Love from Jordan R. and me ❤

[@KILLRAIN42]

So is it the axe, wood's really dried out, or something about the technique or all three that makes this look so easy? I can split with my maul or wedges with enough time but my goodness this is almost a joke it's splitting so well. I was always told a wider axe head was better for splitting but that head looks almost anemic compared to my maul I've got. What am I missing here?

[@MayotheMaker]

Def technique my friend but the kind of wood has a lot to do with your success

[@LeonBelmont1000]

Probably a bit of everything. I did some splitting a week ago and I can totally understand your sentiments with how easy it looks in video but not so much in your own backyard. I had to deal with wood that had some pretty big knots, and grains that weren't straight, ended out doing some chipping damage on a new fiskars splitting maul from a local hardware store. We live and we learn from experience, I've heard the ol "a bad craftsman blames his tools" so I'd bet Buckin could work with just about any axe. Keep a sharp edge and use proper form not to throw your back out are the real challenges for us uninitiated lol.

[@jirusjirus9322]

That wood is the perfect scenario... Straight grain, well dried (seasoned), debarked... your lucky to get a few pieces of that let alone a whole stack. That Sycamore in his neighbor's yard is the norm... make ya get the gas fired splitter. "It's not work if you call it a workout"

[@paulcraciun4454]

A few weeks ago I got into a situation that forced me into takin a step back from splitting my firewood. My biggest pain was not being able to enjoy swinging the axe and you and your videos have been a blessing during this time. Yesterday I got to swing the axe again and it was brilliant. As you have been a blessing to me and to many, I will pray whenever you come into my consciousness that God blesses you to always be able to do what He blessed you to do, pain free and injury free

[@ianbutler1983]

Well done. I would be at the hospital having my toes re-attached if I did that.

You don't need to go to church to be an amazing person like Buckin'. Isnt always about a religion. More spiritual
