Always love and give your posts a thumbs up but, I think this the first one I've ever left a comment on. I was a paratrooper/ Rigger for 12 years in the US Army. I've jumped out of fixed wing and rotary aircraft from 750ft up to 15,000 Ft. I ain't going up a tree with a rope and nails on my feet. I'm surprised you tree climbers can get your pants on in the morning with size of your brass balls. LOL. I love all the knowledge, humility, positivity, faith and good will you bring and share with us. God Bless you Billy.
Welcome to the channel my friend and your comments do help a lot. Buckin is a true treasure and a gentleman. I have spent several days working side by side with him and his family and I can say with certainty these statements are true. 👍👍
It's all about your training and familiarity. I was a volunteer industrial firefighter while working at an oil refinery, and we trained for those scenarios. The city fire department looked at what we did and thought we were crazy. We looked at what they did and thought they were crazy for entering a building that was on fire.
Hey Rob!!! Man Buckin, watching this one made me nervous haha, that sucker was rotten!!! Good job pal, looking after ones property very nicely❤much love from my family to yours
The first time I climbed with spikes about 15ft up my spikes started to sink all the way into the tree. Around 25ft I decided to stop climbing and came down. I fell the tree and the top landed within 6" on the rock that I marked as the felling zone. When I started to buck the tree the tree bark was falling down and was completely wet. The tree had a disease, and I made the correct decision to stop climbing and come back down. I find it amazing how you can make a big wedge cut and what is remaining will still holds the tree. I am a small-time tree guy. I took a professional class at the local college to learn how to climb and cut trees. I love this video because it shows exactly what we both see when we are both in the tree cutting. Thank you Buckin' Billy Ray.+
Fun to watch a crazy man climb a skinny dead tree. Back 60 some yrs ago when I was 15 to 19 my older brother and I got some climbing pics (we called them spikes) as army surplus from WWii. We cut down a popular that was easily 5 feet in diameter. And it was not dead. It was live as ever. And after that we climbed a lot of smaller trees. But I never climbed a skinny dead tree. I am amazed at what you do sometime Billy. Hats off to you. God Bless.
Andy was such a joy to watch and when I saw you wearing his shirt it brought back memories of all the cool stuff he could do and not think twice about doing it given his circumstances.
I have never climbed a tree or would I but I find this video very interesting because of your problem solving ability and critical thinking skills. You’re always assessing and reassessing your environment. There’s great life skills here to learn. You deserve an honorary degree in tree work and life experiences.
Buckin great knowledge filled video. Being there is one thing. Watching the video listening to you walk us threw it with your interjections was golden. Thank you.
Good movie Buckin . You put that in a good spot . I liked th Harmless Farmer also. He was an inspiration to me too . Kylie does good job , Her dad would be proud .
Sterling effort of a job, takes nerves of steel to do that can't see many people doing that these days, great knowledge to, might have to watch this again, What happens if the Tree fails and you don't undo your steel flipine in time???
I got introduced to tree climbing right here on the channel, climbing with Buckin'. There's this charm to old school climbing, I feel. Being so close to the tree, and depending mainly on your skills and your experience. And probably more adrenaline involved, I'm guessing? 😁 This was really interesting and kinda scary, and I loved every minute of it. Good stuff, Buckin' 👍🏻😊🌲🌳❤
Hey Buckin' - I'm not a climber, but I love running a saw. :) How do you disconnect your flip line in the event the tree were to break off below you, since you're tied in twice? Just curious. Great video!
Its illegal in parts of my area to spur into a tree which im not removing. Small maples can be damaged with spurs. $150 big shot, srt.. you might even like it.
Im going to begin climbing soon and need a saw. How do you find the 201? Is it too heavy? Its a lot more money than the next size down but i dont wanna wish for more
Take a look at the Echos. I wanted as much saw as I could get so i chose the 3511, or whatever it was called. Now I wish I would have grabbed a 2511, I know it would have had plenty of power and the 35cc saw is a chunky boy after a day of one-handin' it.
@@thesickhorseranch1930 the only problem i have with echo around here is lack of dealer support, id love to try one but stihl really runs the show around here. I wonder how the 194 stihl stacks up? Its around half the price of the 201
@@WARLOK813 I hear ya. Hard to beat Stihl or Husqvarna in the support department but these echos are pretty reliable and any saw shop should be able to help you maintain it. Just a cheaper option, can't go wrong with the Stihl or Husqvarna though.
This is a slippery slope. But we endeavor to complete the task at hand. Keeping in mind as we endeavor to create a positive safe resolution. Thank you and Yes, I'm kind.
okeydokey I get to sound intelligent: I'm 52, 177cm & 64 kg (70" & 140lbs). There ain't not no way I'd climb since I haven't figured out how to turn off gravity. I don't like heights.
Times like that, i think the lord gave the devil permission to put red alder on earth. Those things are simply dangerous to deal with. I know way to many people that lost there life, dealing with those things.

The harmless farmer yes I’ve been watching his videos for quite some time and how he ended up that way just blows my mind
Who needs drugs when you've got adrenalin. I used to think climbing telephone poles was exciting. You're awesome, Buckin' Billy Ray Smith!
Your so right how trees sometimes straighten out after they get through and start to get light always watch the lean 💪
Hey Rob!!! Man Buckin, watching this one made me nervous haha, that sucker was rotten!!! Good job pal, looking after ones property very nicely❤much love from my family to yours
Buckin Billy Ray is a good man, always good work.
Greetings from Germany Peter
I'll speak for everybody else and say that we all missed your tree climbing videos!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🪓🪵🪓🌲🪵🪓🌲🌲🌲💚💚💚💚
Not more than I did

Andy was an amazing man and I miss him still to this day.
A lot of stress on this climb for sure my friend. Excellent video Buckin ! 👍🙏
Andy was such a joy to watch and when I saw you wearing his shirt it brought back memories of all the cool stuff he could do and not think twice about doing it given his circumstances.
Oh yeah, you only have to watch Andy for 5 minutes to get a massive dose of humility.
Careful with that axe
Eugene!!😂😂
“Son of a sherclank” 😂 great stuff! Work hard. Be honest. Be kind. 👊🏻
I love the climbing content. Keep it coming!
I’m a farmless harmer of my garden .. joking my tomatoes are coming along just fine
Great job and teaching video
Son, you be careful ya hear…you ain’t no spring chicken…i know cause neither am i!😀😚😋😁
Wow, BBRS, this I have been missing.. gets the old thumper kick a little more juice around! Love you man!
The hand saw made the trip, impressive!
We love your interjections! Keep ‘em coming!
Buckin, maybe the reason you got those is exactly so you can correct that situation before your son climbs a tree and slips / falls.
Thank you for teaching us! It means a lot🙏
I'm 42 Buckin' and I hope to be as nimble in a tree when I'm your age. Job well done Sir!
Hey Rob. Another made plan worked out again. Good video.
Buckin is BAAAAACCCKK!!!!!
Hey critter
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith looking strong friend glad to see that
buckin earned an A on this one..thumbs up !!
I want "I do if for my manminship" on a t shirt.
Love to see you climbing again.
Deal!

Well said! Buckin explains the thought process…I was surprised at how deep his undercut was. Buckin is a craftsman with a bid heart!!
Old boy can't use his shoulder for a year, but still somehow has huge forearms. Nice. 😀
We love you too, Buckin.

Good movie Buckin . You put that in a good spot . I liked th Harmless Farmer also. He was an inspiration to me too . Kylie does good job , Her dad would be proud .
No worries , you have the know how and the do how, carry on !!

Well done with the work, great video.
❤ Hi Buckin . Great video as always. I love to watch you climb and as always great information
Kool
i just started climbing and i was taught w the climbers knot.. quite simple and easy very dependable
I TRIED BALANCING ON THE BALL. VERY CHALLENGING AND FELT GOOD ON THE GUTS. THOUGY THE DAM CAT POPPED THE BALL WORKING HIS CORE
Every time you took your helmet/camera off it sounded like wood cracking. SCARY!
I really enjoyed this one. 👍
😎
Very good stuff ❤
Love the injections ❤
So glad!
Great suspense
That was great. Thanks Buckin'
You bet

The middle of the tree exploding on the ground was 🤌🏻
Hi Rob
👍
Great video Man
Thx
Swanson 😮😯😲🤠
Ahwoooo get one 👍❤️
You can't buy experience. 💪
No sir
Wouldn’t want to kick those spikes to hard in a rotten tree like that top could snap
That one was pretty sketchy Buckin. I bet you were rummaging through the ol experience tank.

Shout to the chainsaw guy, you're really cool. I like to be your friend. My name is would like to climb a tree with you.

That’s the exact reason why you don’t use lineman hooks to climb trees. Ask me how I know 😉
Times like that, i think the lord gave the devil permission to put red alder on earth.
Those things are simply dangerous to deal with.
I know way to many people that lost there life, dealing with those things.
I actually prefer a pole spur but changing spurs is so uncomfortable! You just get so used to one thing that it feels wrong with any minute difference
Squeaky bumb time buckin not a nice job
