in the next video we get into some Buckin' and splitting .and talk about saws and bar lengths , splitting technical stuff,, love to yo all , lets make each other stronger

[@ben-me9jy]

That is great! Can’t wait. I was in a flea market in doors and saw a McCulloch sign that you bolt onto the outside or inside of a building in excellent condition! Wow this is some thing buckin would like! Then I saw the price and choked hard!. Well it is the thought that counts!

[@johnarnettsways.8758]

Love to see you my friend. By the way the wedge banging handle is first rate. Love the feel and the overall thickness of the handle. Cut the small speed bump off the bottom and it’s just a great tool. ❤

[@patrickmcdermott6802]

Billy, you are truly a master at your craft.

[@invisiblerevolution]

I tried Billy's SPLITTING down along the side of the KNOT (and not on the knot) technique today.... it worked!!!!

I just found your channel yesterday and I went on about a 2-hour binge. Soon as I saw the notification for this video I hopped right on it and of course it did not disappoint. I think you are a great example to all men especially Young men. We need more heroes like you and I am so grateful to have found you. It's not necessarily what you're doing but what you're saying that is so important. Thank you so much for being a hero to all. Your brother in San Antonio Texas Mike.

Thank you Billy Ray. I always have to watch your video’s more than 1 time want to learn all I can. I was always the squirrel in the tree, never got much experience in falling them.

[@jirusjirus9322]

being the squirrel in the tree is great fun, especially when you go as high as you can and find new views. yes it can be dangerous but many things are. have a Hemlock tree across the street that i free climb regularly, been cutting vines away slow but sure. Would never dream of cutting it down. it has become my best friend

Utterly amazing how you lay those monsters down right where you say they will go. Your videos have been very helpful. I have a couple of acres of woodland that I am thinning out.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

[@MilesPittman]

Notice at 5:30 Buckin’ hits that limb on the underside before knocking it down back on top. Love this guy- learned a thing or two on this channel.

[@markknabe1724]

Like others I just stumbled upon your channel. I think the states could use a lot of your "Hey friends" type if attitude. Keep it up sir!

[@nickknee3515]

I've grown up running a little 41cc Jonsered with an 18" bar ever since I was a teenager. But I've upgraded to a 455 Rancher with a 20" bar and a 562XP with a 24" bar and them saws with that sized bar does make a huge difference and makes things alot easier. When I got my 562XP brand new, I got so carried away one summer having fun killin' trees with my new saw I ended up having enough firewood for the next three winters.

[@garyblevins3532]

The more than I watch your videos the more I learn from ya. I've gotta invest in some wedges real soon because I have several trees here that's gonna need to be wedged to fall em where I want em.

Residential trees often have hardware in them , you need a metal detector . Once a chain cuts metal it’s garbage , I get them razor sharp but they no longer cut nice , bent teeth so something 👍🇨🇦

[@ravenshield7823]

Climbing stuff is super expensive but it's nice to see how easy it can be done, not that it's easy, but you know what I mean. Great tutorial once again.

[@jirusjirus9322]

being a scrounger all my life and helping people move and clearing out garages and storage units i eventually was able to grab good things including climbing gear. still gathering stuff piece by piece. good gear, good tools, very expensive when you buy them new. 🪚

MS-362 is one of the best saws ever, and my first saw was a 1976 Jonsereds..... I run a 362 with a 16" bar as my climbing saw quite often....for removals, obviously.....

[@bobbysoza3798]

Good wensday morning buckin! Thanks for sharing a nother great video brotha appreciate it!

[@kasnitch]

Excellent to see you climbing again Buckin' . Have you tried a Panther bar and chain for your trim saw ? August loves them . I wish I could donate time to help people get their wood done, but sadly I'm down to 29% lungs from copd and its hard enough to drag my butt out for 2-3 walks / day . I am however paying it forward as much as I can afford . Thanks for your spirituality ... its inspiring . Regards Vincent .

I missed out on a buy of a life time.....10 power saws..,they belonged to some on that had a loved one that passed away.,..2 Macs....3 huskies.....5 poulans.....all for 200 dollars....been sitting in a storage shed for 10 years....all of them had big bars.,

[@robraines859]

Love that old mercury, got a gem there...

[@ocsplc]

Buckin’ ironically I think a longer bar provides for easier symmetry across the tree, especially making it easier for non-professional loggers to make straight level cuts across the breadth of the subject tree. I found it easier to fell a five story dead Ash last night with my 380 Husqvarna with a 32” bar. Not only did I not have to contort myself for the procedure, but also, the leverage is better and the long bar makes the cuts level without much effort

[@toddpacheco4748]

You and your sons also the rest of the guys get things done quickly and have a little bit of fun with each other

[@plowmaster1206]

Im not a logger. Im a farmer who cuts wood on a weekly basis and if time, daily. I keep my files on the chain and the saws tuned in the cut. The files cut the wood not the chain. The chain does what the saw tells it, so i build my saws accordingly. I enjoy making the saw talk to the chain, then the chain tells me what the file needs to say. The file cuts the wood.

Buckin' you've got me foraging for wood, cutting, splitting and stacking it at home...... And I've not even got a wood stove.

[@markw2266]

No worries, someone will buy it from you. For me there is only a few things better than watching a fire on a cold night. The newer reburn glass door stoves can really put on a show. Not cheap but what form of heat is? The trick with wood is handling as few times as possible.

[@Demodad68]

Man, I really wanted to see you drop it with the 362, darn nails 🤣

[@mikejp9393]

Good video as usual I'm a sub, but when you cut that last little branch before tying into the tree. You should of moved ur rope out of the way to make that cut. The rope was running right behind where ur cut was which I know you were aware but just not something I would take a habit of. You made a slight nick in the rope, was safe to use to get down but ya. Could of cut it 6 inches out type deal instead of the risk to flush it. Not huge deal.

[@rickstafford5316]

That was a fun job. Great job Stay safe

[@robintaylor-mockingeemill8223]

I thought I was the only one that finds metal and fence lines in trees . Funny how we all say no can't be and try it a second time just to make sure we toast the chain

[@jirusjirus9322]

ouch ! there is much metal in residential trees

[@benyeargin1005]

new to the channel, thanks for sharing your knowledge. Im fairly new into the more serious cutting but have been cutting firewood for personal use for quite some time. I have always used conventional and am curious what the pros v cons are and why you prefer the humboldt as a general rule. Maybe you have a video talking about this that I just haven't found yet. Thanks again!

[@MrThenry1988]

It matters if you are cutting for lumber. You get max log without trimming the log square. Imagine when you drop a tree for firewood. With the farmer wedge you have to cut the end to get square for the log splitter. I do it both ways depending on the hill or any other situation

[@smorefirewood]

Looks fun to me.

If you want a mean running echo try to get @Charles Briscoe to build you one. he can turn a 2511 into a sweet running saw!

[@taylorchristie3570]

Just out of curiosity. I have been always taught that a bore cut is the safest and most control felling cut u can make. I have never seen u do it. Could u explain it and y u don't choose to use it

[@jirusjirus9322]

Buckin has over 3,000 videos uploaded, i do recall that there were at least 2 times when i saw him use a bore cut for certain situations. But don't ask me to recall which videos they were. Three years in and I'm still seeing videos that i have not seen before.

[@mikahakkinen5651]

awesome,cant wait for the nexy video.

[@StubProductions]

With all due respect a 60 or 70 cc chain saw is not needed for most people especially for beginners! Thats a big pro size saw. Not only are they expensive they are also hard to move around and use for a beginner due to size and weight. Something like a MS261 would be an awesome saw for most folks.

[@JustHelpMeOuT5466]

It's funny you say you hate to go conventionnal but for me it's the only way my cuts meet perfectly, i have such a hard time doing a humboldt.

[@DrZergling]

[@schwartztekllc]

In Montana we have mostly pine and so that's what we burn in our stoves.

[@jirusjirus9322]

people are afraid to burn pine here in Pennsylvania because of horror stories of creosote and chimney fires. As long as you burn nice and hot and clean out your chimney flue and do proper maintenance and inspection regularly there is no problem burning nice dry pine. many people use wood burning stoves for years before they get the chimney cleaned out.
