I’m a 74 year old widow living in AZ. I’ve never used a chain saw but I love watching your videos. Your enthusiasm is infectious. Thank you for sharing the message of love and kindness.
See that's the difference right there I work for a tree service I would have put a rope in that tree and pulled it over I'm just not experienced enough pounding wedges with a tree leaning like that now I do drop trees all the time with just wedges but a tree like that where they want it in a certain spot and it has a nice Lean to it and it's big I would have put a rope that's the difference bucking is a faller he's been doing them situations his whole entire life I would love to work besides somebody with his experience for a month or two just to learn a little bit more it would be amazing God bless
Hey Billy. I grew up on the other end of sawdust. 81 and raised in Brooklyn NY. Not many trees in our neck of the concrete. However, as a young boy, I worked in a local butcher shop. We used sawdust everyday. It kept the floors from getting greasy to prevent slipping. We slept it away from the wall then raked it with an iron garden rake to remove any fat or garbage. We actually used a handful of sawdust to clean the maple cutting blocks in the store. We would bib it on the top of the block, let it sit for a few minutes, then we had what was called a block brush which was a wooden handle and the teeth were iron. It would scrape through the sawdust and remove any fat off the block which was absorbed into the sawdust. We would totally sweep up the sawdust twice weekly and put down fresh. Along came every agency that was going to put an end to every illness known to man. They outlawed the sawdust as well as the wooden cutting blocks. We did a lot of bone cutting with cleavers at the time and chopping on the poly boards was no going to happen. Everything with a bone then had to be cut with a bandsaw. If you look at the health of the population back then vs today, you have to laugh at the ADVANCES we have made. People are sicker and sicker, the more we advance. People do not have any resistance to anything because they have never been exposed to build that resistance. JUST SAYIN! Love the channel. Have done a fair bit of chain sawing but not much any more. Still have my STIHL 007 and 026. Love watching the pro saws, the ported and added exhausts. Would love one day to go watch a lumberjack competition. Glad you are doing well. You had a few setbacks in your life and overcame them. Who would have thunk that a lumberjack would be involved in social media? Haven’t seen Hogan for some time, hope he is doing well. Maybe one of these days I will come across a Buckin Hogan Smith channel. If you read this all, thanks. Poppy
First time commenting on your video. I'm not a logger or big time woodsman or anything like that. I've always enjoyed working with saws. But, I'm into vintage saws myself. But, you have taught me a lot about sharpening your saws. I have two saws one is a Lombard Comango and the other is a Sachs Dolmar 110. After watching your videos I have done a lot of tweaking on my saws and it has improved them both tremendously. Thank you and keep sending out videos.
Hello Buckin! You're an inspiration to me. I now (at 15 almost 16) own 2 Jonsered 2071's (well one's a 2065 with a big bore) and you are one of my greatest inspirations in this journey. It's an addiction isn't it? Thanks Buckin, have a great day
If I was on an island stuck with a saw. My old 044 Stihl. Just put on tons of new parts. 28 ok inch bar. 1 happy wood getter now . Love your show. From Malakwa BC .
Buckin! The pleasure is all ours! It’s a lot easier to watch a video than to make one and do all that cutting and prep work! You are a national treasure!
I'm that guy Billy Ray. At 51 yo on Dec. 23rd, 2014 I had a horse come down on my shoulder and crush my lower back. During all the MRI's and x-rays they discovered that my spinal canal was all most closed off. A simple surgery left me paralyzed and in a wheelchair. About to reach the 8th year anniversary and they still haven't done anything for my lower back. But back in early 2015 when I couldn't get out of bed I discovered this thing called You Tube. Buckin' Billy Ray Smith was one of the first channels I subscribed to. Your attitude is infectious and for that alone is why I watch. All the saw, drums, ax hanging and tree cutting is like sprinkles on top. I always feel a little better after watching your video. Keep it up my friend and thank you for the inspiration.
In my younger days, I travelled Northern Wisconsin and the UP of Michigan insuring the forest products industry. I’ve met many great stump jumpers in the early-mid 80’s. Just the smell of sawmills and logging camps is etched into my mind. But I must admit, the trees you have in the west are much larger. I’ve never seen western cedars until your videos. I subscribed just for the love of the industry. Now I’m 68 and had two pretty big (to me) trees fall in subsequent thunderstorms. They missed my tiny house by inches! God saved my house, my dog and me. Now I’m doing cleanup of the mess with a borrowed Stihl chainsaw from my pastor. It’s a bit tricky for me and I’m being as careful as I can. Your tips are very helpful. One of the trees that fell split and both halves are still attached. One side is hung in an oak while the other is lying next to my house. What scares me is the twisted half still attached and loaded, plus the half stuck in the oak.
I cut firewood for years but I haven't run a power saw in years. You looking me eye to eye on your camera and telling me I love you brother and I care about you and that love and kindness is a great option....you were just speaking to me weren't you Buckin? That is how it felt. It was personal and it hit me in the heart. Then you told me your life story and how you fought your way back and it hit me in the heart. Over and over again you have lifted my spirit.....especially on those days when I was racked with pain. You have been a force in my life that is hard to truly explain. It has been quite some time since I came across Buckin Billy Ray but I count you as a friend and I love you brother. You indeed are a woodman but I think you have just scratched the surface when you call Buckin a woodman. There is much more to this man and I DON'T BELIEVE FOR A MOMENT THAT 424,000 people are firing up their power saws every day and going for it. Folks are looking for something more.....it is a message of hope and it is one that you can share with others. That is my story and I am sticking to it. Love you my friend!
Hi Buckin’ Billy Ray! I’ve been watching your videos quite a bit recently and enjoy them. Watching today’s tree felling was very interesting and informative. I have some tricky trees on my property and your videos help give me confidence to practice more and do it! I’m 64 and have taken a fair number of trees down over the years but you are the Jedi Master when it comes to tree felling! Thanks for the kind messages also and keep up the good work!
I come here to gain knowledge. Watching you helps me in the wildland fire arena. Not everything directly applies, but the princples of working on and around trees are very useful when i need to push my skill level.
I love your channel, I love soaking up the knowledge of your experience, and I love the sound of your saws, it's therapy for me when I'm all stressed out 😊
Last Week a Friend gave me a 372xpg non Xtorq as Present from 2001 with blown Cylinder. Now i do a complete Rebuild inspired of your Work with these Saws! i´m Searching for a Fullwrap but you could not get them here in Germany. Now i cant wait to get her back in business! Nice Cedar you put down!Good Job
Growing up most folks around here used a traditional wedge. My pa would do an "upside down" wedge (humbolt) and he always said that if you wanted to keep a tree from getting hung up you better make it run off the stump. Big angles, and he would use a gap face cut on one like that to get it to pick up speed to drive through the other trees. Back then we didn't know the real names of cuts or really how to do a lot of stuff but we got things done. After I grew up I learned a lot more, and honestly I have learned a lot more stuff here on the internet, mostly how well I was taught and why a lot of it works the way it does.
I’m nearly 53, and yes I’m not a faller, I’m a west coast boy originally from murrayville/Langley though so I really appreciate seeing this….pretty cool….and I picked up a Mac 1-51 without a carb as it turns out but what I really love is the positivity..breath of fresh air it is!! God bless! I picked up
I love you tooooo. Ever since I lost my right eye I have given up on tree work because of depth perception, your videos give me hope as a breath of fresh air. I will never climb again so now I have to rely on ground work when falling these big fires in Northern Humboldt County California. God bless you Brother.
Brother Buckin, thank you! The wedges in the crease makes perfect sense, the grain is denser there! Our shagbark cedars are very similar in that they break like glass, but if the stump is four feet it's only that big for five feet or so lol. Thanks Billy Ray, every episode is appreciated by me and my family!
I have dropped some fir that with the help of your videos I would have never tried. Great info I never worked in the woods when I was young. Would have loved to but never had the chance. Worked in a mill for 11 years. The wedge thing is like a super power. Thank you so much love the videos and the explanations on what is happening, from Castle Rock Wa.
Never used a saw that big. That Husky and the similar sized Stihl sure have enough power to spare. Almost forgot, one of the best "how to's" on a leaning tree I've seen. Not just how to do it but the explanation as to why your doing it. Great stuff, Buckin'
Thank you so much. I have saved alot of energy throughout the day not to mention and my back just by watching how you maneuver and use things around you when handling the saws. For example. At the first cut you left the tip in and walked the saw around instead of pulling the saw out and packing it around with you.
I have no clue about what you do. My kids and I just love to see how your skill is worked. We must say you make it look easy. and we know its from years of experience. we thank you for all you do showing us the adventures.
I had to cut down a number of trees that were dying around my property. Buckin has been my go to for all the things I needed to know but didn't now I needed to know them. As I fell out of a tree trying to climb up and top one, my wife asked what I was doing and I said......Buckin showed me this one....he didn't and she didn't know what I was talking about...but I was laughing until she go the ladder and I could climb down. Keep them coming Buckin. Keep em coming.
hi Buckin I am a 67-year-old first-time chainsaw owner i bought it to do some work at my golf club, a few trees needed trimming and a few that were brought down by bad weather needed cutting and removed, so I needed to understand how to cut that's where you come in found you on youtube, man some of the felling I saw you do unbelievable you are a joy to watch,the lean on some of the trees you cut blow my mind, trees overhanging holmes boy how you can take that cut awesome, respect and good wishes from here in Scotland look forward to your video's stay sharp Buckin
Thanks to your videos I was comfortable falling a neighbors tree right next to the house which had a nice back lean and used wedges and it landed exactly where i asked it to, so much gratitude for what you share as I only bought my first 3 saws this year and the amount of knowledge ive gained from your channel is incredible!
You are a blessing to this 59 year old medical office manager who likes to play around with my MS 251 on the weekend, pretending I’m you, lol!!! I love watching your videos my brother!!! Thank you & keep up the great job(s)!!!
Enjoy your videos! I’m 77 and my brother in law has me drop his dead trees on his property. Hayden Idaho. I’m in Sagle not far from the Canada border. You’ve been a great help in my tree cutting.
Hello I like to wedge too I'll only tie it if my trail is to bushy really nice cutting buckin great job glad you waited for tor the widow makers to settle see you on the next next one thank you
B . . . You're a brother in the greatest way. What you do is just amazing... I can't enjoy or learn cuz I'm so not into working/falling trees... But that you are is the greatest!!!
I know its an old video and there might be no activity here BUT I can see youre being very conscious of your work. You dont do unnecessary lifting or heavy swinging, keep the saw running and inside the tree so you dont have to lift it out every time, move fluidly everywhere and hit the wedges with a relaxed rhythm and not a 2handed fast bang. Gotta love it :) Minor details keep the body in good shape to work another day!
Another lesson from the master. Awesome job again. No better way to enjoy my tea after work watching Billy at work. Fantastic job my friend. I hope the buckin army 🪖 is well. A Hugh welcome to the new folks joining a army of love, we're happy you pressed the subscribe button 🔘. love and best regards from across the pond
@@MATT.MAN-PEACE-LOVE lol neither did I until I was having lunch on one of the farm tractors while having lunch. Boy I'm sad lol. Well I'll look forward to seeing you use it lol. Tally ho over and out friend 🪖
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith Good morning Billy. As ever great hearing from you. Strange that Mrs B calls me general!!!! Yes general,,,, general nuisance lol. We All on the farm send our love, best wishes, and respect. Love to all
Thanks man, for sharing all your hard won wisdom. Throughout. Being smart, heads up education in more than just the forest. And having fun to boot. I can almost smell the cedar from my family's farm in Oregon. Cheers.
Thanks for being you. I have followed you for many years now on and of. Now a days more again sins i hade a accident and it good too see and hear you. I got threw up when the belt chipper fall off the trailer. I smashed my head in the trailer and got a brain bleed and a neck injury. 3 months ago now and i work maby 15 hours a week now. The physical therapists said that i will be back but it will take longer time. Thanks again for making so many wonderful videos
Buckin iv been watching your vids for years now iv learned so much watching you I was a joiner 4 years ago I changed my hole lifestyle job and started my own company doing tree work in the wild hills of north wales 🏴 so I thank you and love ya buddy..LOVE WINS…
She started to talk when you banged that wedge in the crease. Thought it was going then... Thats been my mistake, not going into the crease. Nicely done Buckin. Peace out bro.
That axe around the 5 to 6 min mark looks kinda like a Omish handle or a really old school job to myself. Really enjoy these videos. Thanks again and keep it up
Another great and inspiring video Buckin and you're right they don't make things to last anymore. I really appreciate your upbeat attitude and honesty. Stay safe and God bless you and your family
Wow thats a big tree😯 we dont see them that big in Denmark 🇩🇰 they dont grow so big as they do in Canada and usa. Great work i learn a lot from you buckin
That's so funny bucking when you made your first cut I thought he has to open that up and I learned that from your channel you shut yourself off and you said yep I'm going to open it up so it has time to travel I've been cutting for 20 years I'm 39 now I started when I was 18 I'm a tree climber and I learned a lot from your channel falling trees definitely I wish I could work by you for a month or two man it would be a dream come true
Thanks for the intro part where you were talking about guys like me. lol I'm following a long time, but didnt watch a lot last year. But always liked watching you doing your stuf and besides that I believe you are a nice person! Greetings from the other side of the ocean my friend.
The reason I still love that old school snipe approach from an inside plunge cut, working back down for my Humboldt notch is, it makes it easier on me (when running a long bar) by allowing the weight of the saw to work FOR me. LOVE to see this still done today!
Buckin. Thanks for all you have shown us in the videos. I am in the middle of clearing out almost an acre of woods. Clearing out the down and leaning trees. And thinning out some of the trees. I have used several things you have shown. I am currently using a small Stihl power saw. But will be getting a Husqvarna with at least a 24 inch bar soon. I enjoy all the videos. Thank you for everything.
I just spent all day cutting ash with my Mac 10-10 automatic. Tuned it up based on your tuning guide. This saw is so awesome. I absolutely love it 100%. I wouldn't even know about it if it weren't for you! I got it with 9 chains and two bars off Facebook marketplace for $10 not running. Had 125psi on the gauge, so I figured go for it. Got a used carb off another saw, fired right up. I've been using the echo red guard at 40:1 and echo bar oil. I love it. I wish these ash trees weren't all dying, but that's life eh? Love your silver truck.
I'm not a tree worker at all and I love your videos for all of the education about trees! I've been fascinated about trees ever since an Ash tree was taken by the ash borer and it needed to be taken down. This was about a year into buying my house. It was right against my fence and over hung both my house and my neighbors house. These two arborists that were recommended to me by a friend came in and did the job in one day. I was impressed! Now I've got an Ash in my front yard that I have been trying to keep going but it has succumbed and will need to be taken down along with a nice fir. Having watched your videos have really got my interest up. Thank you and keep on doing what you are doing. Cheers!
You thank your viewers but allow me to sincerely thank you for sharing your knowledge and messages of kindness brother I speak for us all when I say we love you
I’m a 74 year old widow living in AZ. I’ve never used a chain saw but I love watching your videos. Your enthusiasm is infectious. Thank you for sharing the message of love and kindness.
That's Billy's genius....even non-cutters like his stuff. Awesome that you do!
I’m 65 and a dropped wood on the west coast ❤ you have showed me quite a few tricks and you bring back fun memories. Love you brother 👍
He has alot of cool tools in his brain when it comes to felling trees and it's awesome that he shares them with anyone 😀.
@@joshuajohnson4396that’s the way it should be
I remember you getting all the wood getting dropped on you at that CCBC trip.
More cow bell 🔔
I’m 46 and dropped brown a few minutes ago
See that's the difference right there I work for a tree service I would have put a rope in that tree and pulled it over I'm just not experienced enough pounding wedges with a tree leaning like that now I do drop trees all the time with just wedges but a tree like that where they want it in a certain spot and it has a nice Lean to it and it's big I would have put a rope that's the difference bucking is a faller he's been doing them situations his whole entire life I would love to work besides somebody with his experience for a month or two just to learn a little bit more it would be amazing God bless
Ilove you're show very much very educational
You are the man , DAWG !!!!!!!
You gotta learn to do it all, only then shall you be... Superb.
He has something beyond training, beyond experience. He's got balls. No other word for it. 😂
I'm one of those People...I watch because I appreciate you as a Human...The content is a bonus. Keep on keeping on...

jonsereds are great saws.
Awesome saws bro
It's nice to see a young man watching a good role modle ! Good luck in your endeavors!
I had a pi.e of reds they was good saws !
Cool, sounds pretty similar to me, 15 work in firewood, and got a garage full of husky’s stilhls a Mac and a Jred 2165 big bore awesome 👍
Buckin, the world is a better place because you're in it my friend.
Take care....

love you too !! I don't do any tree work ! but I keep watching your vidéos !!
Thank you so much. I have saved alot of energy throughout the day not to mention and my back just by watching how you maneuver and use things around you when handling the saws.
For example. At the first cut you left the tip in and walked the saw around instead of pulling the saw out and packing it around with you.
Yeah Buddy!! I'm a 71+ woodturner and carver. Love looking into wood and everything about it. Like all your videos.
I personally, have learned so much from your videos,and from you Sir! Thank you! Happy New Year!
Great job cutting the tree down you do awesome work I enjoy your videos I watch every single one 😋
Merry Christmas Buckin, thanks for sharing your life with us.
Love from Minnesota.
Nice straightforward easy peasy cutting on this one Buck. Love my Jonsered 2188.
I am 67 and have a tree to cut that is danger of falling on my trailer. I have been watching your videos for training and confidence!
And I have been learning a lot! Thank you for the time you put in on these videos!
You have the nicest trucks. I'm so jealous 😅 power saws and axe of kindness ✨
I have no clue about what you do. My kids and I just love to see how your skill is worked. We must say you make it look easy. and we know its from years of experience. we thank you for all you do showing us the adventures.
I had to cut down a number of trees that were dying around my property. Buckin has been my go to for all the things I needed to know but didn't now I needed to know them. As I fell out of a tree trying to climb up and top one, my wife asked what I was doing and I said......Buckin showed me this one....he didn't and she didn't know what I was talking about...but I was laughing until she go the ladder and I could climb down. Keep them coming Buckin. Keep em coming.
Wow. That was an amzing undercut!
hi Buckin I am a 67-year-old first-time chainsaw owner i bought it to do some work at my golf club, a few trees needed trimming and a few that were brought down by bad weather needed cutting and removed, so I needed to understand how to cut that's where you come in found you on youtube, man some of the felling I saw you do unbelievable you are a joy to watch,the lean on some of the trees you cut blow my mind, trees overhanging holmes boy how you can take that cut awesome, respect and good wishes from here in Scotland look forward to your video's stay sharp Buckin
AMAZING. THANKS FOR TAKING US ALONG.
Thanks to your videos I was comfortable falling a neighbors tree right next to the house which had a nice back lean and used wedges and it landed exactly where i asked it to, so much gratitude for what you share as I only bought my first 3 saws this year and the amount of knowledge ive gained from your channel is incredible!
Good job buckin you fawkin legend
You are a blessing to this 59 year old medical office manager who likes to play around with my MS 251 on the weekend, pretending I’m you, lol!!! I love watching your videos my brother!!! Thank you & keep up the great job(s)!!!
Ronnie yer humility is refreshing brother . thx for being active with us
Great video. Enjoyed the in-depth start to finish of falling a Big tree in a tight window. I learned more about wedge placement.
Thanks Buckin.
Enjoy your videos! I’m 77 and my brother in law has me drop his dead trees on his property. Hayden Idaho. I’m in Sagle not far from the Canada border. You’ve been a great help in my tree cutting.
Hello I like to wedge too I'll only tie it if my trail is to bushy really nice cutting buckin great job glad you waited for tor the widow makers to settle see you on the next next one thank you
B . . . You're a brother in the greatest way.
What you do is just amazing...
I can't enjoy or learn cuz I'm so not into working/falling trees...
But that you are is the greatest!!!
Thanks again Heaps for your fathering type teaching Buckin Billy ( Bronco Billy was a hero as well)!

Thankyou sir, I’ve been watching another UA-camr that runs a WAlker 592 north of you. He is a feller. Makes me hate my 660 days
Watching your videos from France 🇫🇷
Just love them !!!🤟🏼🔥
I know its an old video and there might be no activity here BUT I can see youre being very conscious of your work. You dont do unnecessary lifting or heavy swinging, keep the saw running and inside the tree so you dont have to lift it out every time, move fluidly everywhere and hit the wedges with a relaxed rhythm and not a 2handed fast bang.
Gotta love it :) Minor details keep the body in good shape to work another day!
Don’t even own a saw, but have always enjoyed watching a skilled person do a good job.
Another lesson from the master. Awesome job again. No better way to enjoy my tea after work watching Billy at work. Fantastic job my friend. I hope the buckin army 🪖 is well. A Hugh welcome to the new folks joining a army of love, we're happy you pressed the subscribe button 🔘. love and best regards from across the pond

Thanks man, for sharing all your hard won wisdom. Throughout. Being smart, heads up education in more than just the forest. And having fun to boot. I can almost smell the cedar from my family's farm in Oregon. Cheers.
Love the jazz! My logger Dad (from Oregon) blows his nose just like you do. Or maybe you do it like he does. He will be 80 years old on Monday!

Thanks for being you. I have followed you for many years now on and of. Now a days more again sins i hade a accident and it good too see and hear you.

Buckin iv been watching your vids for years now iv learned so much watching you I was a joiner 4 years ago I changed my hole lifestyle job and started my own company doing tree work in the wild hills of north wales 🏴 so I thank you and love ya buddy..LOVE WINS…
this is a great comment thank you
Buckin' I had a Fox cart in the '60's, Twin Macs. We had a 4 cart race team and beat several groups with larger engines. Loved the racing sport!
Billy, you do a great job! I enjoy all your videos! It's a treat to watch a hard worker!!
No one else on UA-cam makes you feel like you are right there with them more than Mr. BBR!
Love you all...❤❤❤
Lieutenant Bradley
I love you johnny
Love the time you take for the face cuts. Definitely worth taking an extra minute or two to make sure you're good. Saws are fast, slowing down helps.
I love everything about this channel.
She started to talk when you banged that wedge in the crease. Thought it was going then... Thats been my mistake, not going into the crease. Nicely done Buckin. Peace out bro.
Nothing better than a 45 minute buckin episode.
Hope all is well!
This was 45 minutes?
I have started fully felling trees like you this year. my community loves it i help all my elders. Great video once again Buck
So glad i stumbled across your channel! And wow id that a gorgeous Ford pickup truck!👌
What an awesome video. You Buckin are one professional faller. I enjoy watching you work. Great job you did on that tree. ❤️👍
That axe around the 5 to 6 min mark looks kinda like a Omish handle or a really old school job to myself. Really enjoy these videos. Thanks again and keep it up
Another great and inspiring video Buckin and you're right they don't make things to last anymore. I really appreciate your upbeat attitude and honesty. Stay safe and God bless you and your family
Wow thats a big tree😯 we dont see them that big in Denmark 🇩🇰 they dont grow so big as they do in Canada and usa. Great work i learn a lot from you buckin
That's so funny bucking when you made your first cut I thought he has to open that up and I learned that from your channel you shut yourself off and you said yep I'm going to open it up so it has time to travel I've been cutting for 20 years I'm 39 now I started when I was 18 I'm a tree climber and I learned a lot from your channel falling trees definitely I wish I could work by you for a month or two man it would be a dream come true
Oh man, Buckin, that Ranger, what a treat!
Thanks for the intro part where you were talking about guys like me. lol I'm following a long time, but didnt watch a lot last year. But always liked watching you doing your stuf and besides that I believe you are a nice person! Greetings from the other side of the ocean my friend.
I learned more on the wedges. Good video. I always wondered why i would need a full wrap. It was explained to me this time. Thanks.
The reason I still love that old school snipe approach from an inside plunge cut, working back down for my Humboldt notch is, it makes it easier on me (when running a long bar) by allowing the weight of the saw to work FOR me.
LOVE to see this still done today!
This intro with the jazz music is the best you've ever done.
I knew just what you were going to say on the 500i. It is why I did all of the precision top-end stuff on my racing engines.
Hey man, I’m one of those who loves to see you drop a tree or fell one.
I really like your vibe and how welcoming you are sir.
This video had "I need this" all over it. Thank you Billy.
Buckin. Thanks for all you have shown us in the videos. I am in the middle of clearing out almost an acre of woods. Clearing out the down and leaning trees. And thinning out some of the trees. I have used several things you have shown. I am currently using a small Stihl power saw. But will be getting a Husqvarna with at least a 24 inch bar soon. I enjoy all the videos. Thank you for everything.
welcome
I just spent all day cutting ash with my Mac 10-10 automatic. Tuned it up based on your tuning guide.
This saw is so awesome. I absolutely love it 100%. I wouldn't even know about it if it weren't for you!
I got it with 9 chains and two bars off Facebook marketplace for $10 not running. Had 125psi on the gauge, so I figured go for it. Got a used carb off another saw, fired right up.
I've been using the echo red guard at 40:1 and echo bar oil. I love it. I wish these ash trees weren't all dying, but that's life eh?
Love your silver truck.
I love you buckin you bring happiness to my days every day ❤️ I miss seeing videos of you and your son working together
I enjoy watching buckin, I have for 6 years now.
Thank you for posting and sharing, I love this stuff.
What a smooth face cut my guy. You make it look so effortless, absolutely beautiful!
I'm not a tree worker at all and I love your videos for all of the education about trees! I've been fascinated about trees ever since an Ash tree was taken by the ash borer and it needed to be taken down. This was about a year into buying my house. It was right against my fence and over hung both my house and my neighbors house. These two arborists that were recommended to me by a friend came in and did the job in one day. I was impressed! Now I've got an Ash in my front yard that I have been trying to keep going but it has succumbed and will need to be taken down along with a nice fir. Having watched your videos have really got my interest up. Thank you and keep on doing what you are doing. Cheers!
You thank your viewers but allow me to sincerely thank you for sharing your knowledge and messages of kindness brother I speak for us all when I say we love you
Brother , yer a great fella . we met i believe
Yes sir my boy and I met you at Bunyan
