btw this was to me, the best Bucking Billy Ray video I’ve seen. They always entertain but this one entertained at a complete level. Edit was clever, Content was awesome. Character/personality was ridiculous/hilarious. . .and yet, simple, wholesome fun. You are an entertainer. You were born to teach and inspire on whatever stage is available. The UA-cam stage, your current one, but there’ll be more.
Buckin Pin this comment! Video was spot on!
Mr August ,, thank you .. comming from the master of tree videos , that is not takin lightly ,,
You hit the nail well and truly on the head August
Well said August - hope you and yours are well 👍
August Hunicke nice one August buckin is a real hoot I can't think of one video I did not enjoy and that go's for your video's to keep it up friends have a wonderful week end👍👍👍GB tree service
Buckin, your vids never fail to put a smile on my face. My dad taught the flick to my brother and I when we were youngsters. Works really great when the wood is frozen really hard - it just flies apart. If dad caught us being careless he'd threaten to make us split standing in a washtub.
lol
Fantastic story Niemi! WOW!
Many thanks Brian. Have a great weekend!
The flick has helped me so much!! The world is enriched by your presence my friend. Love to you and the family❤️❤️
Spencer McGinty yea, I heard about t before and tried it a few years back. It never worked for me. After watching buckin have great success I gave it another try. Works great! Now I just use my beater axe instead of my nice splitting maul.
FishFind3000 good for you buddy!! I’d much rather run my beat up double bit than swing a maul. I run most of my big stuff through the splitter because of how twisted up it is.
Love the teachings of Buckin Billy Ray!!! Keep up the Awesome work Buddy!! Be safe Friend!
now you ,,you son of a,,,,, i just opened up Riv's gift ,,,wow
Copy that on the teachings, dear. And hehehe, she's going to be sooooo happy! 😁
i told you she had something for you lol, she is our little "River Otter" again that was all her idea.......
Thanks for another vid, you are a great teacher for cutting, splitting and life in general.
Be kind everbody!!
Watching this from a hospital while recovering from a bone marrow transplant to cure my leukemia.Just had to learn that sweet flick technique ! :D Best of health to you and your family Billy !
So satisfying to see a pro at work...guess I'll just have to stick to my splitter...the wrists ain't what they used to be. Welcome big time to all new friends finding their way here :) Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!
thx north star
I have 7 hickorys and 1 big maple to cut tomorrow for a customer. I copied your log " chainsaw holder", I love it!
That perfect hit with the flick is pure beauty! Love from Sweden!
1st pull nice!!! That WAS crazy.
August Hunicke SHE CUTS LOL
every time with that 10 10
It... WILL CUT
Your a beast when it come to splitting wood. You inspire me to get out in the woods and cut and split firewood. I just finished putting two old plumb axes back into use with new handles. Love it
Watching a Buckin' video is always my first choice if I watch anything!! Have a great weekend everybody :-)
john and trish pure salt of the earth
GOOD OLE BUCKIN YOUR JUST LIKE AN OLD FRIEND TO ALL OF US! THANK YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS! A BIG HOWDY TO ALL THE NEW SUBSCRIBERS YOUVE LANDED IN A MOST EXCELLENT PLACE!
ahh there you are Stock car ,, good ta see ya
Buckin’ Billy Ray Smith do you live in the United States or do you live in Canada?
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for teaching this technique. The flick technique has changed my firewood splitting for the better, which changes things significantly over winter. Thank you.
Alway's like to watch you enjoying yourself, yet your working at the same time, kinda like working a fun hobby in a way..
Take Care out there friend's and Have a safe weekend..
that was a dream for me 0ver 20 years ago
I just started using your flick technique after splitting wood for over thirty years and it works slick as a whistle! Thank you!!
Great video! Many decades ago my dad split wood for the wood burning furnace we had back then -- ash, hackberry, red elm -- using that method. I could never master it. Dad could do it one handed while I resorted to a maul and steel wedges. He milked cows by hand and had some impressive hands and arms.
I did relax Buckin', hope your getting some time to relax as well. I'm liking the flick method. Welcome to our new subscribers, good of y'all to pull up a stump with us. Make sure to smash those hitch hiker buttons 1,2,3,GO! Good seeing the rest of you guys Kindness strong ! Be you, be true, be kind!
And you as well BlackRock,Take Care
good man
I like the flick. Works good especially with a double bit!
Love ya buckin' the world would be horrible without ya 😁
Big Brown Bear. He seems to want to keep me hear fo somethin or other he he. Thx friend
I totally agree 💯 % and don’t short yourself neither Triple B. You also make this world an awesome place and your channel always puts a smile on my face and gets my Butt outside to start Bucking/splitting wood!!!Thanx!
Just hitch hiking....LOL!
Hugs and hand shakes to the Buckin' leader and Army!
great ta see ya boggs
awesome video buckin. I find swinging an axe or running a power saw the best stress reliever and form of meditation out there.
i tend to agree
Another great video Billy ! Welcome to all the new subscribers and hello to all the true blues🌲
I totally agree August - what a great video... nice to see Holga again😂😂😂 I hope you all have a great weekend and 1, 2, 3 be kind Mach Daddy
Hey Buckin love the channel I try to watch some of your videos everyday. Keep up the the great work buddy.
Buddy,,, It,s a calling/gift ...Thanks for sharing it with us pal.. Love ya
what a great guy you are thanks for your support this evening
Great fun! Have a safe trip to Indiana, Buckin and Hogan! Good luck to all the residents of that fine state. Hopefully the warning has gone out on the evening news and families have taken to their shelters. Have a great weekend everyone! Shankers
My Favourite way to start my day coffee and Billy Ray 👍🇮🇪🌲🌳💪🤘
Great spliting man the flick has helped me quite a bit. Your videos always make the day.
good stuff
Hello and welcome to all new subs. Hope that everyone enjoys their weekend!
Love and kindness.
great chopping vid and all.... but just cant take my eyes of that MERC sitting back there. wow what a stately machine!
he he
Glad you put up this video, my dad showed me how to split wood with an axe 60 some years ago. You're right, it does work best with a double bit, that's all we had when I was growing up. Dad kept one edge sharp enough to shave and I knew better than get that edge in the dirt, the flick method, (never heard it called that before) helped keep the axe out of the dirt. That method is easy once learned and even works with a maul.
Hey brother, I've recently started watching your videos and must say they are highly entertaining and educational! Keep up the good work and god bless!
Erik K WELCOME!
Great to have you along on the Buckin Billy Ray Experience!!!
Be Happy Be Well Be Kind!
Welcome to the family Erik,Enjoy your weekend..
Hi Erik, thanks for checking in! Welcome.
Erik K always nice to here this Erik. Thx for this follow yer senses friend. I find when I think about something it only slows me down. Ha ha. Thx pal
Ive been using the flick technique and it works great.
I want to get into wood heating, and so splitting, and I've watched a lot of splitting videos; and your style makes the most sense to me, Buckin' Billy. I'll put off buying a pickeroon for now too; although I think I might need it for loading the trailer.
Good informative video.
glad
I've split a fair amount of wood with a hydraulic splitter and how fast you go through this stuff with a regular ol' axe is astounding. If I get the opportunity to split more in the future I'm giving this a go. Thank you for your time!
Thanks fir the tips, Canadienne fella. I'm getting better luck now chopping on soft ground with a double bit than I did b4 on concrete with a chopping block and using a splitting maul. My luck now to be spending 6 months in a dougfir thicket on the Oregon coast, doing some landscaping and "thinning" . Axes getting some exercise "Axercise".
Holy buck! This would've saved me so many hours of kicking off half-split rounds and years of frustration... now I can show my sons and save them all of that brick wall head bangin bs... thank you!
P.S. You have yourself another subscriber
P.S.S. Your side jokes and random tips are amazing!
Thanks for info on the flick method!!!!!
Thanks Buckin' for the refresher....you gdt those axes trained well! HAHA!
oh sir my pleasure
hey buckin love your videos man you inspire me to do my own tree work!! keep the videos coming ...
i will
good man Brandon
looking forward man thank you !! cant wait to see your live shows too have yet to join on one !!
Great Exercise for the body and the Brain. It's like moving meditation to me.
Dude I throw axes, too. One in each hand from 21 ft out. Single ax longest consistent throws from 42-45 ft.
Both single and double headed. My favorite is a Montgomery Wards Power-craft double bought in the late 40's
Just found you. Love your Stuff
Your really polished enough that you could do a cool ass show on DYI or PBS or The Comedy Channel.
I will try this "flick" tomorrow, THANKS! 😆
good good
Welcome to all the new Subs this week. Everyone enjoy the weekend. Have a good trip to CHI/IND Buckin', wish I could make it to the airport, but duty calls. Be Kind.
Jason be safe in all you do kind sir..
Cynthia Herr Thank you Cynthia, you as well. 😊
Justa. Good man nice to see for a change
Thank you sir!
Thats great cheers dude. By the way iv tried that flick trick with splitting fire wood. Works brilliantly take a minute to pick it up but its defiantly the way to go. I like the way you pros create youtube vids to show some of the tricks of the trade and give advice. Again bud great channel
so kool i wood love to have a AXE like that
they are handy
Morning friends from across the pond. Regardless of the time is 5 am over here it's always good to catch with you all. I've restricted my waffling here lol as everyone seems to say a few words I find myself writing a book. Have a great weekend. Hi and welcome new friends joining us great decision to do so. Be safe keep warm and most of all be kind you never know all it takes is a small act of love and kindness to maybe completely change someone's life.
Thank you Bobisnki. So true. So true. Thank you
Brian Piercy Hello Brian lovely to hear from you. Love and sincere best wishes to you and yours from the bobinski family
the only thing i can ad to the flick method if your not careful , is that the axe will try to turn in your hands , so be careful,but what Buckin says ,VERY AFFECTIVE Another GREAT video, like,like,likeHEHE!
Great, I am trying hard to learn the flick, I am afraid I will damage my beautiful Arvika!! I will keep trying, thanks for the video!
nice vids man grtz from Belgium
I really don't know how to describe this. Since I discovered ol Billy Ray here, he has gotten to be like medicine to me. I will be going through the day and all of a sudden something comes over me and I tell myself, "It's time for a shot of Billy Ray." So I come into the house, turn on UA-cam and watch a video or two of Billy Ray, and I'm good to go again. Don't know how else to explain it????
Acronym: Fir Likes Its Core Klobbered ✌
The emphasis was on the being kind all it takes is a smile or holding a door for someone it might make their day?
Exactly and a Thank's as a bonus,,lol
Cynthia Herr too much Cynthia hahahaha
Hey everybody, It's Friday! For some :). Have a great weekend over and out!
Have a Great Weekend as well Buillion
Thanks, Cynthinator!
Good stuff
thank you
Just Love It.. what stoves do you have ? they must run good with the real big splits. BE KIND
Buckin you just keep on buckin, I'll be here ;-)
ok sir thx
hi to all,good video thanks Buckin":)do you know any tips for pm610?there s bar oil leakage...and i heard it couses the piston damage
Buckin, you are welcome in my home and at my hearth anytime buddy! Come visit the wilds of North Wales.... land of dragons! Love you channel, I am only just coming to it but I love it, Phil!
Thanks Buckin'! I really want to use the flick method soon. Wondering how this technique works on Maple and Oak?
Thanks for this, Buckin'!
I appreciate the tip, and sure many others here too.. Just came across your site there bud and seen some of your work. Amazing I love it.
I have been using an 8 lb splitting maul for splitting my wood with a real long handle.. Would you suggest I use an axe instead?
Cheers friends and always be kind.
Billy, if you get another request to show this, could you put a bright chalk line down the center of the top of the axe head to make the orientation through the swing stand out more? I think it might help a few of us see it a bit better. 👍🏻
That buckin is a wood butcher👍👌
Cletus is HILARIOUS! AHHAAHAH "you gotta lay on that sucker hard" ha! HIT THAT--->👍🤝
he he
Buckin, I’ve recently got into my axes a lot more detailed after finding your videos. I’m obsessed now, how do we get on the list to get a buckin special?, is there a website? I would absolutely love to get one. I’ve had a recent handle break and after watching your videos I’m inspired to build my own …
Thanks buddy!
Thanks for one of your best video's ever! I have a typical German axe, way to heavy, and it won't flipping, it's to massive in the head...I email you, i hope i can order one by you. I put some pictures to it, how we live here.keep up your kindness, it's inspirational! Can I call you my friend?
Thanks again for ANOTHER great video Buckin'. Got an axe question. I'm way-more than just stoked to have my 4lb US axe head in the que to become Buckin' Special , but I know I'm not the only one curious who we could support and send a head to for a Shabango Axe? If I had the Buckin' Special and a Shabango Axe at the same time, I'm pretty sure I could conquer all the gnarly oak rounds -and even the politicians- down my way in Northern California. What to do? Maybe I could pay a bit more, and you could pay a "royalty" to the inventor of the Shebango Axe, and be "licensed" to produce them for the subscribers here too? I want me a Shebango too!!!! I'm envious of your Shabango! Who else wants a Shabango?? What to do Buckin'??? Thank you. P.S. August, it was your "Unboxing The Buckin' Special" that brought me here to this great place, and special family in the woods. Thank you.
Yep !
Hillbilly Ray was hilarious hope to see him back soon!! ;)
My brother in law tought me the flick method way back 17 years ago i was 15 hihi been using it ever since eh!

Just to celebrate video I'm gonna get my Arvika out and split a little ! I love that hardwood axe, carried it everywhere on Vanc Isl.
When are you back on the live feed.??? People say don't worry he's ok. Are you? ???????
Меня отец учил в детстве так колоть дрова . Спасибо , многим будет полезно .
Buckin buddy,
Do you have any 8lb heads that would make a good wood splitter?
Yah, annnnd we all want our axes to get the Billy-LOVE!
So Subtle so very subtle
Hey buckin how much do you charge to rahandle an axe
Hey Buckin' - do you always flick to the right or are there times when the flick is to the left? Enjoy your channel
both ways my friend glad yer enjoyin things good ta have ya on board
I got the gullet but I cant get the flick.
it will come try peeling off the sides john
I wish we had wood like that here to split it is mostly spruce filled with nasty knots here in Alberta.
just a few things Buckin you need to like cameras a bit more lol now i like to see the other Techinque the one foot up swing good vid will done
bill block sounds good bill will do
Hey buckin, I wrote you an email through your website about getting one of these axes. Please get back to me! I want a piece of this history
ok sir thank you so much just off for a week but you ll see me thx sincerly
Buckin' Billy Ray Smith you’re the man Buck
I wish all the wood I split was so straight as this.
Is there a Way I can send you a picture of my Axe I wanna get your opinion on it please if you may
Only good on straight grain wood
What do you charge to build an axe?
BUCKIN! I want to build a double bit axe for splitting. Like you I enjoy axe's chainsaws and the simple things in life. So friend give me an example of a good Double bit axe and how to choose the handle length. Love win's
how tall are you friend and do you have a fair bit of experience throwing one around these thing are helpful to know advising someone ,, but personally a 33'' handle is an ok length try to find ahead with a not so thin profile as it can stick and not split you want it sharp and then to spread wood. keep an eye out
Flickaroon maybe? I am nice and kind Buckin... hahaha. The flick method is worth to try. That Buckin character is one flicker isnt he. Cool too. I'm looking forward to that beast of an axe we decided us for making. I just had to make some down payments... hahaha. I need a heavy one for my collection. Then I have axes for a century to come :D Have a lovely day people. Make sure to hit that thumbs up. Love from Norway. Mort
MTM Skogservice AS it's gonna be scary and will for you like a glove
Buckin' Billy Ray Smith I know it will be fantastic. With your knowledge around the use of an axe it will be top knotch. Wish you and your family a good evening. You and Hogan will have an amazing journey together. Mort
