- SPLITTING FIREWOOD USE TO BE A CHORE, BUT HAS TURNED INTO MY FAVORITE FORM AF EXERCISE. DOUBLE BIT AXES ARE MY FAVORITE , SINGLE BIT AXES PLAY AN INTEGRAL PART IN THE FIREWOOD FARMING OPERATION
Wow!! All the new subscribers!!! This is awesome!! I love a BIG family! WELCOME and HELLO everyone 😊. This channel is so much fun! I don't even like to call it a "channel".. That word isn't an accurate description. Family? Group of friends? Oh silly me it's an ARMY. Buckin Billy's Army!! Is that right everybody? And we are the soldiers of kindness? Or am I misinterpreting something?
Denice Fithian Hi Denice, you're spot on! Sometimes we're WORRIORS too, great innit lol 💪❤️👍
It sure is Mikey! Ever since I found this family here, my experience with UA-cam has changed. I get a post notif from Buckin and I legit get excited to see the video. I know it's going to be great, friendly, uplifting, funny, educational, and I get the feeling like I'm about to see family/friends who I haven't seen in a while. Lol it's hard to explain really. I haven't "met" a single person who wasn't welcoming, warm, comforting, and a total pleasure to be hangin with! It's a great place for sure the only "channel" that's fun and interactive. I'm not just a viewer amongst a bunch of strangers. I can ask questions and ppl are so helpful and not judgmental... I really look forward to every single video b/c regardless of content I know it'll be great and I'm happy to see familiar names.. Idk it's hard to explain really. I can't wait to put faces and smiles with people's names when I can finally meet them. (Hopefully at Buckinstock!) 😊
Well Denice you're doing excellent at explaining something you find hard to explain lol I know what you mean pal I've been hanging around just over a year now & I'm not going anywhere not now not ever, I've found something rare & unique here & I love it! Buckin has been nothing short of an inspirational role model for me (& I'm 54! lol. The subscriber count has more than doubled in a year the future of the place excites me! We've all got something in common here & it really is "SPECIAL", heck I love everyone here lol, chin up pal 💪❤️👍
Love from Scotland 💪❤️👍
MIKEY YOYO: I fully second that, MIKEY! You spoke from my heart. 👍🔥💫❤️💫🔥🇩🇪
The next best thing to splitting wood yourself is watching someone else split wood, I love it!
I grew up splitting wood on a block, so I always lean towards having one. I kind of wish I hadn't gotten used to it, you do save time and effort going at it right off the ground. Keep kind!
Vary nice of you to help that man out Buckin
he is worthy of the help friend
You're a mean man with an axe. Its a pleasure to watch someone that can swing one as you can...Cheers
GLAD YOU ENJOY
Hello from New Brunswick , Buckin. My family just started burning wood last year and with noone to teach me about it i turned to You Tube and found your channel. You are a great teacher. It takes a special kind of person to be a teacher. I have learned alot from watching your channel. I just wanted to take the time to tell you that. You are a special guy. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Russia' watching you Buckin) Ты лучший американский лесоруб! Спасибо за позитив! Удачи!

I have the pile now just need the axe. Great job Buckin and thanks for all the encouragement you give us all.
Buckin love the words of wisdom and the axes buckin thanks for all you do
Splitting by hand is good for the mind body and soul keep on swinging Buckin my dad is 61 and he still keeps up with me splitting. We got knotty firs over here and twisty hardwoods we need chopping blocks most of the time but when i get clean straight Ash i split like yourself without one . Love the look of your axes i have a few heads i must send over to you sometime. You are a crazy guy in a good way keep on spreading the love buddy its refreshing too see.
Love the beard Billy
just found your channel... i live in Florida, considering getting into tree work down here - your videos are a big inspiration. Thanks Billy. ~ Justin
Welcome Sincerity :) This is a nice place to be. Super community. Check out the archives. Lots of great content on tree work. Sure has helped me out with tips and triks. And of corse a bit of everything else. Be well all :D
Yaay Justin Sincerely glad to meet ya buddy, Welcome along, greetings from Scotland 💪❤️👍
Welcome to the channel Sincerity Kung Fu , don’t be a stranger in the comments eh....😎👍😎
Nice splittin' with nice axes...funny that woodsplitting jump you got there.. Haha! Nothing like the smell of newly bucked and split wood, especially wood like spruce, pine and other conifers… my kind of drug :) 34k subs..oh yeah! The Army is growing :)
A man who chops his own wood is warmed twice.
I love these full length firewood videos! Great job at the wood pile.
Hi buckin ! Thanks for the great videos finally have time to watch them again I just married my best friend best day ever
Congrats. Be well. Take care :D
Thank you it's the best feeling
Awwww Tim that is so sweet of you to say!! Congrats! You two are so lucky to be able to lay down next to your best friend at the end of every day! How can a day be so bad if that's how it ends?! 💟☺️👍🏼
Man you go out there and put all the young people to shame including me cause u work hard and u don’t complain
He never complains and i am the same way.
Hey Buckin good workout while getting some wood split 😃✌️
Hi there everyone. Hope you are having a great weekend 🌞🌴🇦🇺❤
Behind the back pass at 5:50. Much love to you and channel.
thx brother
Don't know what it is, but I could watch u split wood all day. You're so awesome at it. This is a craft and u are a true craftsman. NICE!!
Hey Billy thanks for the shout out man. Love your content bud.
I don't use a chop block either, .... But I have always set them up right sometimes takes as long to set them up as to chop it lol. Great video looking forward to the next one !!!! Welcome new subs and greetings all👍
Quite the pile of firewood! Love these vids! Keep it up🙂
I wish I had the money to offer free wood splitting for seniors around my area. I've done it a couple times before and even brought them whatever wood I could snag from work but a lot of people could use a hand and I don't see too many people lining up to offer much help. Stay safe brother and enjoy your weekend!!!!
Just something about the sound of wood splitting....love it Buckin'. You are doing a great thing there.
HELLO MICHAEL
You epitomise what life should be about, we all look way too deep and think happiness is gaining money and possessions,and being better than the next man. ITS NOT.
my life has recently gone through major changes, and I always knew what the key was, I just needed a wee nudge to remind me what way to continue on, and now, life couldn’t be better.
A man who to this day still inspires once said, The key to immortality is first leading a life worth remembering......
What your doing on here is quite special. Thanks Buckin.
NICE WORDS FRIEND
G’day from Australia every awesome body’s. Awesome chopping Buckin, I literally would’ve chopped my foot HeHe. Keep up the awesome video we love you
Dee .... Gday back to ya Dee...😎👍🇦🇺
Mr. Buckin and Community, I've been subscribed to this channel for around 2 months or more now. This is my first comment. I thoroughly enjoy everything about it. The skill, the action, the energy, and education is awesome. 33 years old and I never knew there was a brand of axe that has my name on it. Lol anyway great channel, great people, and great messages. Winning love sent from Charlotte NC.

Awesome Buckin, hope you're doing well!
greetings from Germany!
greeting sir
That song was from ~THAT 70 SHOW~
Best show of the late 90s early 2000s!!👍👍👍👍
Nice to see you buckin have a good weekend
hi buckin from john in scotland
That stuff splits like a dream! Here in the midwest we have a lot of red elm; more fibrous stuff you can't imagine. On some the ax will stick tight or bounce back at you. Even hydraulic splitters have trouble with it. Good video, though!
"Buy an ax you're not afraid to hit the rocks with. and learn how to sharpen it". Truer words have never been spoken. Thank you.
COPY THAT CAPTIAN ,, LOVE YA GEORGE
Looks like you were having fun! I learn so much from you! Thank you! Gonna go split some wood 😊
RITE ON COR THX
Keep up the good work buckin'. Greetings from the great PNW.

Hi from New Zealand Buckin :D
SkatingBassist .... Gday to you mate from across the ditch....😎👍🇦🇺
UA-cam can be a very interesting ride!
My father had gifted me his old 1970-80s Homelite Super E-Z. This saw means more to me than he will ever know. It was the very first saw I have ever worked. The sound of the thing takes me back to a great place. I have been trying my best to fix an issue with the manual oiler, but I have been stumped. I turned to UA-cam to see if I could get some help. That is when I ran into one of the greatest channels I have ever seen!
Billy!!!
You are my boy!!!
Your message, your content, your personality!
You make me miss parts of my life I had forgotten. Thats a good thing!
As frustrated as I have been trying to get this old saw running; I am so glad that it has failed. If it hadn't i would have never found this place.
Please keep doing what you do!
Thanks for being the Buckin' man you are!
THIS IS A WONDERFUL COMMENT THANX GOOD SIR
Buckin' do you golf? Your swing would be DEADLY!!!!
NO SIR
the firewood warms you twice.
Thanks, the splitting tips will help me out tomorrow. Cheers old bean
We have lots of knotty hardwoods in the UK, need a maul and chopping block...or a saw!
Michigan is that way 4 shure
Same in Wisconsin other than some fresh cut red alder I did this summer. It actually split pretty well.
I tried this in the uk with popular (cottonwood in the states) worked really well. Used my 6lb maul, now reckon I need a something a bit lighter but didn't ache so much as using a block the next day. Going to try it on my next batch of beech, I think Ash would be a step too far- too chewy
stihl mauls seem good. I tried a roughneck one but that was rubbish...
Thanks Billy, just did the same thing for 4 hours today, can not get enough. I did not use a chopping block either. So much fun and great work. Thanks for the wonderful video.
Nice left hand 3rd shift bud , heheh...Hey everybody, hope you’re all well , have a great weekend. Be Kind 👍🌲🇨🇦
TJHE BOSS LOVE YA
Ain’t nothing like splitting by hand. Picked me up an old craftsman double bit I love to swing around. Probably gonna have to put a handle on er soon but I love er. Welcome all new subscribers! Awesome channel awesome people! Thanks buckin for makin it all possible for us!
i haven't swung a double bit a while i might have to head out into the woods today. i saw you do a reverse split when the double bit stuck into the wood and you flipped the axe over to hit the other bit and let the weight of the log split it self, i have done that lots with single bits by hitting the poll but never with a double bit.
WoW! You put a hurtin' on this wood pile and a smile on my face at the same time! Thanks Buckin'!
I don't like to make suggestions on your artwork (axes) because I know you put so much thought and heart into each one. However...maybe you could start burning them just above bottom hand so the marking might not wear out as quick? Sorry...Just thinking out loud again!😀
Also...I thought you were being attacked by a black bear there for a minute and you were so into your work to even notice! It didn't end up mattering because it decided to having nothing to do with this Wildman!🤣
this was the old mark friend , shes a deep burn now
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith Yep...I remember when you got the new Brands. Didn't know they burned deeper. Carry on...😀
I'm not so worried about hitting rocks with the ax, its my foot that concerns me. The rocks can take care of themselves.
avisitorhere: 😂👍❤️💫🇩🇪
Hi Everybody!
If you're a new sub jump in and say howdy 🤠
What happens next will amaze you!!
Love the video buckin. Just what I needed today to cheer me up a bit. Your positive attitude always makes me feel better. A specially today remember how my life changed 19 years ago with the death of someone special. Keep them coming buckin, the world needs more positivity. Be kind friends
Bernie Whelan hello buddy! Always remember when you have a bad day.. You're not alone. You're definitely in the right place if you need a "pick me up". ☺️ nothing ever stays the same! I hope someone makes you smile today! Xoxoxo .... Just in case you need a good squeezin'!
Thank you your message did
Awwww! Bernie sweetheart... ☺️ I think we just came full circle lol.. Cause you saying that made ME smile. Have a great night friend 💟.
Hey Buckin thanks for the content I sure do look forward to it good stuff man
Are those echo chainsaws in your profile pic???
@@jonathna11 they're husqvarna 395xp and 390xp
@@timberzachlogger8865 I'm looking at upgrading to the echo 590 from my poulan pro 20 inch chainsaw. Do you think that's a decent upgrade??
@@timberzachlogger8865 what do you think about the husqvarna 460 ? Compared to a echo 590? They both are technically 60 ccs
@@jonathna11 I've heard good things about echo myself I've always run Husqvarna but I'll run any brand if it means getting job done haha and having a sharp chain and getting good at sharpening is the best advice that's helped me alot as far as which one check out warrantys and pricing then the feel of it in your hands.
Yes, he's a woods man with a powerful swing of his axe! Hope you have a good week!
New to the channel buckin love the channel!! Im from Maine super cool to see people still like hand splitting firewood I love it !! Thumbs up to Yu man.
Welcome Ryan!
Great to have you along!
Take care an Be Kind! Friend
Sharpening a dull axe comes with using it, but chipping the edge on a big rock because it was buried in the dirt, that can just ruin your day haha, nice video buckin!!
LOL
You sir are surely a samurai with an axe
wish I had a place to spit wood again. city life sucks. at least I can watch you do it on here. it is fun.
MAKE IT HAPPEN COME TO BUCKIN'STOCK 2019
You're Paul Bunyan reincarnated....superhuman labors
HA HA HA HA ....LOVE....
When I was young I never stood the wood on end to split it. Just like you I split it laying on its side swinging both ways with a double bit. I even did this with old growth sugar pine that my truck would only hold one round. I used to hold a log over the bed of the truck with a 980 Cat and just buck it off into the truck. When I hit 40 years old I bought a splitter lol. We have a Wood Mizer sawmill. I still fell big pine but not for higher any more.
We sell mostly 1×12 pine siding and have for 29 years. I think after I broke 6 ribs and my shoulder when I was 40 that splitting by hand was not worth the pain. We live off grid. Between dad and I we go through 8 cords a year. I've been burning wood for heat since 1970. Its all I know. Nice of you to help out. Love is always the right thing to do!
Off Grid In The Pacific North West love it 💪❤️👍
WOOD AND SAWS ARE PART OF US
Awesome
Starting to look like å lumberjack with that beard 😊 good looking man with a new hearcut and all 👌😄
HEY BUDDY
Dang it Buckin you make it look so easy!
EASY WOOD
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith Perhaps, but you also have a PhD in splitting. 😉
They say those hydraulic splitters are easier,but I couldnt even swing the one I bought.They weigh about 600 pounds.So Im gonna stick to an axe.
Love it! video eleventy hundred binge watching from fountaintown Indiana. Was visiting tree felling and stumbled into an education! You're fantastic Billy Ray What saddle s good for a.beginner? What do I need to scale my 105 foot dead ash.branching out at 55 feet and lop off the widow makers? Then drop the trunk?
Welcome great to have you onboard!
Take care an Be Kind Friend!
Loving the beard man long time no see👌
