It's totally a pleasure to watch your technique and hear your narration. I've never been a climber but wish a would've learned the skill earlier in life. I tried climbing three years ago at age 64, but the hips weren't having it. Now it's just cool to watch others and their skills. God bless and protect you Buckin!
Luv watching old school tree workers /climbers . I myself am old school as many others tell me. Been climbing since age of 19 and I'm 61 now still going . Cut and throw when you can and rig when you have to. Always think ahead while working . Takes some years to figure out a system. Some don't get it . Work hard ,but work simple . I enjoy watching .
Climbed my first tree yesterday, went up ten feet, heart began racing and head sweating. Went back down and took some breaths an back up I went. Successfully cut down a 40’ dead cedar in my front yard. Glad I watched a couple of your videos first!
@@weeknightwarrior agree to use all safety gear per local standards + anything that makes her feel more comfortable within reason, and get someone to teach you how to get up and down without dying, that bargain worked for me :)
Mr. Buckin Billy sir, I wish there were more people like you in this world. I would love to be around you guys and learn not just about tree work but to be the best person I could be. You guys rock!!
I am 38 have made good money. Not everything is about money. Do what makes you happy but do it well don't half ass life and you will be happy. If you have a passion for tree work go for it.
My brother Billy, your textual addition around the 15 min mark is spot on. My wife and our child is thankful my hands are hard and split open from use because these hands take great care of them in God’s name. While reading your on screen text, 2 Thessalonians 3:10 came to mind, “For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.” God be with you sir!
Great video. I did tree work for 30 years, it finally caught up to me, after 4 knee surgeries, now I’m going to have both knees replaced. Really appreciate your videos.
I love this channel..you inspire me to be a better person..for many reasons bucking I have so much hate in my heart but the more I listen and watch you and your kindness it makes me want to be a better person and do what’s right..love is beautiful and maybe it’s not to late for me..thank you friend!! I’m going to start loving myself and others just like you..
Billy on your truckers hitch. New trick to old school. When you feed the line through the pully knot. pass it through one more time. when you pull it will cinch down and lock in place. Undo that by running the line back through the loop and pull. Supper easy.
that is crazy. u gonna be great at meny things cody. keep being hungry and take work home with u. and u wil allways be 1 step ahead of the rest at youre age !
From Ontario here. Done my share of taking down difficult trees and you make it look easy. I really enjoy your educational, entertaining and positive channel. Keep those videos coming.
Buckin' you are one humble and gracious fella'! Always positive and motivated doing what you love to do - the smile on your face transcends the passion you have for doing not just a good job but an excellent job! I'm 50 and starting this kind of work my friend - thanks for sharing your passion!
15.10 wisest words I’ve heard in a long time. Enjoy your life and family brother. You are so fortunate to get to do this with your boy. Love and respect from the Balkans
Hey Buckin, Been a minute since I commented so I felt it was time. 1st GREAT video as per usual. You know I love the message, the life, and the ability to live and learn from everything around me -- you are of course the prime example. I have as many years on this earth as you give or take a few... yet I didn't find my calling until 2017. Man I learned some things the hard way. But, it's the ONLY way I can think of that really makes it sink in for me. Fortunately, I mean that with a great deal of exception; particularly with regard to common sense, safety and doing things that are just plain ignorant. I have always been the type to ask if I don't know something and can't figure it out - if it's a make it or break it thing, I don't bother to mess around, I just ask for help. That aside, having a heavy background with certificationd starting at age 15 in an AWESOME course created by a legend himself, Dixon Leslie [RIP sir] who had the insight to take what he was passionate about - all things outdoors; Hiking, Mountaineering, Survival in the deep woods, Rock & Ice climbing, Kayaking, etc. AND teaching - he was my forestry teacher for 4 years, and for 2 years, he was my "Wilderness 1, and Wilderness 2" Teacher. He saw students like myself who were not well served with lectures while sitting in the classroom for 8 hours a day, 180 days a year × 12 years. So, outside we went. And then he got the grants to fund us to build a RIDICULOUS climbing wall/walls- ceilings, an entire room via a sectioned off annex of the theater - the stage -?- right? Left? IDFK it was on the right looking down the auditorium at the stage, and the theater kids- well that's the brakes kids, sorry not sorry... We were also fortunate enough to get instructors from the great IMCS (International Mountain Climbing School) here in North Conway NH, as well as the Appalachian Mountain Club, and EMS (Eastern Mountain Sports) N.Conway, NH, All who sent us amazing instructors to get us certified. And then the grand finale: Part 1 of 3 of our final exam: Vans, kayaks, canoes and trailers to haul all of that + 24 if us, to the beginning of the Allagash water way in Maine- a white water river that spans several hundred miles from the ocean to the base of Mt. Katahdin. Which is not a big deal for us because we come from the Mt Washington valley where we have been raised to hike, ski and snowboard Tuckerman Ravine, Ascend Mt Wash Western side in the middle of winter - yeah, hello 100mph winds on a normal day. Anyway, so I grew up with the itch to climb high- hell man in the 6th grade my best friend and I would climb trees - I know, what kid doesn't, right? I mean 80' pines and maybe more IDK, whatever was the tallest, had at least a branch every 4-5' and we could get to through the landowners yard without getting caught, we'd climb it, and sit up at the top. Watching the town from up on the hillside, in a 80, 90 100 foot tree- swaying in the breeze. It was just... perfect. That best friend was also the bassist in our band. Yes BTW I've been seeing that kit in different videos, and yes I've been a drummer since age 9. I play still - I have a great mutt kit: Pearl Export Series 5 piece - Bass drum, rack toms & floor tom with remo pinstripe heads, top only on my rack toms, no reverb heads, and a wooden 6" Drum Workshop snare, beside a 3" picalo snare, tama titan hardware hi-hat with a clutch, Gibraltar boom stand x4 for the symbols: zildian 8" splash, 14" left & 16" right crash, 20 " crash/ride over my floor tom. That one btw has a Remo black dot head, not a pinstripe like the rack toms. I tried the Remo all black hydrolic heads, but they sounded- matter how I tuned them- like thrash metal band drums. Granted that's what I do to warm up - lol i play a blend of Metallica, Slipknot, and Five Finger Death Punch - then tighten it up to a few diddy and para diddles (that has a whole new meaning now that P.Diddy was caught in the middle of a human trafficking ring - ugh scum bag) anyway, I do a little Neil Pert precision w/32nd notes on the high hats, and then the Carter Beauford of Dave Mathews Band full kit wrap around fills- and then a quick ru ta ta zit zit pa tuuw- u know! the Steve Miller Band famous whoo hoo, -- Anyway then I do my own thing... oh the mutt, So the other hardware - my prize possession aside from my fav axe- no not a guitar - you know what I mean, but it's the bass drum pedal! I learned to play double kick on a single kick pedal- so my parents (RIP MOM & POP I love ya'z & can't believe what you put up with!) just loved it when I finally saved up enough to get my drun workshop double kick DW5002AH whooo wee she's as fast as greased lightening and as thunderous as the angels bowling strike after strike in heaven on the stormiest nights down here... I jog on those puppies and have been recorded playing what can only be surmised to be 64ths but I swear I am not trying to do anything but add a little extra fill on the 1 & 3-- lol... I have been meaning to say for years that I drum and and sing, play piano/keys, hand percussion, air drums, air guitar, steering wheel drums, etc. And 4 sting bass. Hey man, what was the line in this song - after, "stirs his coffee with thumb..." Uses ______ to wipe his bum'? Pawls? If so, I can't imagine how many times you have to pull that cord to start your saw. And Damn, that would make a mess. And DAMN that would make your bum awfully sore... Why not use maple leaves or any leaves? Except for the leaves of three- we'll let them be ... or be really itchy!! Last thing, actually maybe 2 things, #1 are you Irish or Canadian or what my guy? I ask because you have an accent that is sometimes a wee bit irreeshh n sometimes just like ex wife #3 from Michigan with a Minnesota/Canadian accent thing happening. Where is the Ms. in all of this? I didn't know there was a Ms. Buckin til the song credits rolled... Oh 1 more thing: I luv ya bud. You changed my life- or at least, made it more enjoyable with the laughs, the skills!! TY TY TY TY!! for all of them, feathers in my cap, pearls etcetera... God Bless You Buckin!! Rock on, and please, don't use pawls for TP... 🙏🏽😂
Your advice about not shutting down the saw immediately after a big cut is probably excellent advice for any motorized vevhcile or machinery. For example, even if on a road trip - don't turn the car off immediately upon parking; or lawn mower, snow blower, gardxen tiller, etc.etc. etc. I'm in on that!!
Every little message you leave on your videos I feel I gain something from, not just helping with little knicks progressing my knowledge on working on trees for a living, but mainly all around helpful stuff to help make live simpler and easier. Good stuff keep it up, it works.
My Gosh, I got shivers sent down my spine when you opened up the Door to what can only be described as a working museum of saws, That is one impressive, well organised (I say that from a mans perspective...) Saw Room. Reminds me of all the movies where a secret agent/spy/person of mystery opens up their armoury behind a secret painting or bookshelf, everything in its place, well maintained and ready for action. Good show old chap!!!!
BEST YOU TUBER BY FAAAAR!!! Brother ,Balkan people love your channel keep it up and all the best to you and your family. Stay safe and let’s beat this monster corona together. Love life and take care of each other!!!
Well sir billy I am not ashame to tell u that I have myself learned more from watching u as I am self taught I became 100x better at cutting trees by watch u but 10-20 yrs ago I would of climbed trees as u had as now I let that for young guys as got a very bad back and legs which retired me but still times I love falling trees
Excellent all the way around. And it is really awesome how you put your personal philosophy in writing for all to see and maybe be a seed for others to pick up and grow and change their lives forever. I like how you share because it is not some head crap but real knowledge you truly use daily. Good job my friend. Live by you word and be a bright light to help guide the wondering souls.
Nice work Buckin great to see ya in a tree. Man I bet it felt good to get up there in the real fresh cedar air. Love it man. Hey to the new comers welcome to a special place. Hope the Buckin Army is strong today. Thanks Buckin.🌲❤🌲✊
Hi Brother. A straightforward video that cuts to the point and once again shows the real skills involved in handling big trees , with a quick stay safe lesson thrown in . A pleasure to watch Sir , thank you. The Army of kindness grows bigger than ever day by day and to be a very small part of this community is uplifting and inspiring... Thanks to all you folks and hello and welcome to the new ones. Bless ya'll . Love wins . As always my friend , Love and Peace to you and the family from across the pond in the UK
Back in my younger years when worked in logging industry, I thought I knew it all and at 63 years old, I watch you're videos and I say, wish I'd known some of the things you are showing, life would have been so much enjoyable. Goes to show you're never to old to learn and remember be safe always,if you're not sure you checked the gear, check it again, it's your life or possibly someone else.
Buckin', your filming and editing skills have come so far in such a short amount of time! I really appreciate the time you take to produce and edit all the different shots and perspectives. Keep up the good work and know that you're an inspiration to all of us wanna-be tree guys out here!
Buckin is the man. I’ve been following his channel since it had 314 subscribers. Grrat content much to learn from. Make sure you watch most of his videos, always a golden nugget from each. Cheer friends!
Buckin’ it is always a great pleasure to see a professional do it thing thank you for sharing man, I have learn immensely from your content thank you sir.
So happy to have found this channel. Your glowing positivity, and messages of inspiration are awesome, and your skill at your craft is undeniable. Fantastic. You're a gift, my man.
Dam!! You rode that tree like a Champ when you topped it. Had a little teeth and butt clinching going on watching that! Well done and very informative. Always learn something from your Videos. Thanks and stay safe and healthy my friend!
Thank you for all the knowledge that you share. I've picked up a lot of great trips from you that have saved me time and energy because I work solo I need every trick I can get. and I love watching your videos they make me smile. From a friend down in the states thank you and be kind.
Slowly trying to learn to not be in a hurry working. Im always trying to get stuff done as fast as possible and a lot of times that come backs to get me because I make mistake that I have to go back and fix. The job would have taken me less time if I would have slowed down and not made mistakes. Great advice Buckin.
Nice job Buckin, again very educational. A little bit of backbar cutting, but in a way it's okay. Some flick of the right to left hand cutting. Jep, nice. Be kind people. Talk to your neighbour and ask how they're doing. Lent a hand if needed. Keep the positive vibe going. You're only here once. Make it count.
Coming up her soon on the 3rd I turn 17, and I've been doing tree work for 8 months now and boy oh boy do I love the trade and the joy it brings me. Keep up the good work brother 🤙🌲
Yep, knobs are life savers, literally! I use them a lot to get my climbing line away from the collar when I do collar cuts by taking a bite of my climbing line and pulling it up over top of the cut in around the tree and then on to the nearest knob
New subscriber from Southern California. I've been enjoying your videos and you are truly a master of dropping trees exactly where you want them. There's no luck involved, just pure skill.
When a baby is born, the medics will hold him/her in their hands and "drop" it a couple of inches to see if he has the reflex to stiffen on the drop. If he doesn't, something's wrong with him. We are all afraid of falling, or something's wrong with us. ... As a baby is most imprintable at birth, I wonder if this might not imprint the baby with an even greater fear of falling unless he is desensitized to the dropping shortly after. ??? Just a matter of curiosity. Babies are most teachable from the first, and they learn SO MUCH from Mama that we don't really take the time to understand!
Just found your channel mate. What a great attitude you have towards life. I do believe that people who have turned there hardships and negatives into positives make the best people at heart. You seem like a good man and you connect with your audience in such a way that it rubs off, look at the comments on your vids. You inspire people. Thanks mate
Love the video, some good tips. Especially about checking you gear! Simple step frequently skipped that helps make sure at the end of the day you get to go home. Also really liked that you emphasized not to rush in a tree. Focus on the task not the time it takes to get it done. Speed will come naturally with time and experience. I do think that when you are giving tips on trimming its important to let people know not all trees behave the same. Most evergreens have great hinge and will normally hold great. But if you were to repeat the same in a poplar for example you would have a completely different experience. Important to know your trees. Thanks for the video and stay safe brother.
hi bukin, hope your are good! you can see the joy and determination for this job! I can learn so mutch only by watching carefully your progress.Thanx for the video greetings to all buckin army! stay kind friends, see you sunday!
Hey buckin' youre friggin awesome man !!!!!!!!!, youve inspired me and also helped me with my mental i know you dot know that but youve showed me its easy t be happy if you choose to be, i work hard everyday maing concrete gravel boards and it sure as heck gets that blood pumping man , keep smiling keep laughing , over and out , Jack from the UK
That little 2511 is still getting it done!! They’re awesome little saws! Good work Buckin, glad you were able to get yourself into a fun little job. Love to you and the family❤️
After reading about all the technology, all the extra rigging gear for sale, it is refreshing to see dynamic rigging with elegantly simple threading of an untied rope.
I miss your climbing vids…. I learned old school for 2.5 years but just recently switch to a zig zag an I love it. But one thing I’ll always rely on is old school rigging, it never fails(if done right lol)
My advice for any new climbers is always to learn old school first (Blake’s or taught hitch) before using mechanicals. In my opinion it does great job of teaching you how to use your ropes and stuff that hoping straight into a mechanical can.

I love out little 2511t. Those little saws have great power to weight ratio. Also got the 271t with the muffler modded that I climbed with forever but that little 2511 I dont even feel it hanging from my saddle
Hey new subscribers, don't forget to watch some of his older videos, i know there's a lot of them but they all carry some kind of positive message, good to catch up on the many ways to be kind and show love from your heart. Thanks Billy man Stay safe, stay strong
I like that you are tossing the butt ends of the limbs in the same directions. I've worked under some really messy climbers that have no problem screwing the ground crew by not doing that. And now that I'm a climber, butts always go the same direction.
Great job Buckin, wow that top was really swaying. Great to see somebody enjoying their work and giving great advice as well. The clean up was really good, thinking about when you got it ready for the fire pit at home. Loved the early family photos!! Take care dear friend. Love to all subscribers old and new. Graham🇬🇧🇬🇧🌲🌲

How did you convince your wife it wasn't a suicide mission? Dealing with this currently.
@@weeknightwarrior agree to use all safety gear per local standards + anything that makes her feel more comfortable within reason, and get someone to teach you how to get up and down without dying, that bargain worked for me :)
How'd you do brother? Did she buy it?
@@weeknightwarrior she put life insurance on you so she could have a fall back in case you fell.
Mr. Buckin Billy sir, I wish there were more people like you in this world. I would love to be around you guys and learn not just about tree work but to be the best person I could be. You guys rock!!
I can’t wait to have my own shed like yours and back the pickup to it and load of gear for the day. 18 year old apprentice arborist.
I am 38 have made good money. Not everything is about money. Do what makes you happy but do it well don't half ass life and you will be happy. If you have a passion for tree work go for it.
Yeah , do what you want man don’t listen to these haters who “know it all” … toxic saw folks. Been there done that.
That would make you about 22 today. Did you stick with it?

@@softiss thanks
Sounds like a man I know. In his late 80's and would climb circles around me any day with half of the equipment.
Learning to climb at 56 lord willing! Be safe and climb on young one!
You should be climbing in no time
Good to see you running an old Homeslice! Am working on Dad's old blue 901 from '68. That saw fed the family and kept us warm so many moons ago.

Billy’s my favorite philosopher!
This was an awesome video and your chill vibes made it super enjoyable. Thanks for sharing your skills.
Good afternoon I like all your videos but in my opinion this kind is the best thank you so much for taking the time to video
I found your channel a few days ago, I’m not a climber but I cut from a bucket. You seek just so happy to be working! It’s refreshing!

Excellent all the way around. And it is really awesome how you put your personal philosophy in writing for all to see and maybe be a seed for others to pick up and grow and change their lives forever. I like how you share because it is not some head crap but real knowledge you truly use daily. Good job my friend. Live by you word and be a bright light to help guide the wondering souls.
Nice work Buckin great to see ya in a tree. Man I bet it felt good to get up there in the real fresh cedar air. Love it man. Hey to the new comers welcome to a special place. Hope the Buckin Army is strong today. Thanks Buckin.🌲❤🌲✊

As always my friend , Love and Peace to you and the family from across the pond in the UK
Back in my younger years when worked in logging industry, I thought I knew it all and at 63 years old, I watch you're videos and I say, wish I'd known some of the things you are showing, life would have been so much enjoyable. Goes to show you're never to old to learn and remember be safe always,if you're not sure you checked the gear, check it again, it's your life or possibly someone else.
That was a treat to watch. I love when I get to see professionals at work; doing what they love.
Nice tree job....can't believe you got all those trimmings in the truck!!
Great tips. Wow you are very high up there!!! Nice job mate.
Dear sir...compliment for professional work.
Good luky
Buckin', your filming and editing skills have come so far in such a short amount of time! I really appreciate the time you take to produce and edit all the different shots and perspectives. Keep up the good work and know that you're an inspiration to all of us wanna-be tree guys out here!
Sam Mosher and professional climbers
A one handed cut, in spikes at the top of a swaying tree all while teaching a UA-cam class. Impressive skills. Thanks for the video.
i am loving the positive vibes brother. You are graceful as a Shaolin Monk up a tree. Be well freind
Im a long time viewer and I just want to say I love your positivity and outlook on life. You are such an inspiration for how I want to be.
This is a highly skilled man !!! He knows his profession...
He's Canadian
Just love that ole white Ford truck, and the dog🚜
Buckin is the man. I’ve been following his channel since it had 314 subscribers. Grrat content much to learn from. Make sure you watch most of his videos, always a golden nugget from each. Cheer friends!
Buckin’ it is always a great pleasure to see a professional do it thing thank you for sharing man, I have learn immensely from your content thank you sir.
Good job god bless you and the bukin army love yous all!!!
The Buckin army loves you "get the gullet"
O ya you betya man!!!
So happy to have found this channel. Your glowing positivity, and messages of inspiration are awesome, and your skill at your craft is undeniable. Fantastic. You're a gift, my man.
Dam!! You rode that tree like a Champ when you topped it. Had a little teeth and butt clinching going on watching that! Well done and very informative. Always learn something from your Videos. Thanks and stay safe and healthy my friend!
Thank you for all the knowledge that you share. I've picked up a lot of great trips from you that have saved me time and energy because I work solo I need every trick I can get. and I love watching your videos they make me smile. From a friend down in the states thank you and be kind.
Great job & great video! This is amazing! You make it look very easy.
Slowly trying to learn to not be in a hurry working. Im always trying to get stuff done as fast as possible and a lot of times that come backs to get me because I make mistake that I have to go back and fix. The job would have taken me less time if I would have slowed down and not made mistakes. Great advice Buckin.
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast
Nice job Buckin, again very educational. A little bit of backbar cutting, but in a way it's okay. Some flick of the right to left hand cutting. Jep, nice. Be kind people. Talk to your neighbour and ask how they're doing. Lent a hand if needed. Keep the positive vibe going. You're only here once. Make it count.
Buckin!!! Absolute skill my friend!! I have a lot to learn from you and others!! Several words of wisdom from you!!
This man is good
How about the echo i use t355
I used to do that untill I bought a chipper.Holy doodle Billy I finally called it quits this week at 67 years old.
Much respect to you sir!
Holy doodle?
Nice work sir!
Coming up her soon on the 3rd I turn 17, and I've been doing tree work for 8 months now and boy oh boy do I love the trade and the joy it brings me. Keep up the good work brother 🤙🌲
Gotta love having a new Buckin video to watch during my lunch break!
This goes down as one of my all time favorite videos from The Tree Maestro.
Great video Buckin' thanks for playing the 'woodman song' I luv it,have a blessed day......
This was awesome! therapy for the soul to watch... thank you!
I keep coming back to this particular video. I love all of them but this one stands out
Thanks bucking for sharing your skills and expertise I really enjoy these 👍👍
You are a class act with top gear for the job in hand,great to learn from 🏴😉
Yep, knobs are life savers, literally! I use them a lot to get my climbing line away from the collar when I do collar cuts by taking a bite of my climbing line and pulling it up over top of the cut in around the tree and then on to the nearest knob
Own the skills you learned, great video, hope you're able to outgrow the old time myths.
New subscriber from Southern California. I've been enjoying your videos and you are truly a master of dropping trees exactly where you want them. There's no luck involved, just pure skill.
I love the old school attitude. it is how i learned. work once from the tree and you will not fight a tangle later on.
Absolutely amazing video. I wish I had the guts and wasn't afraid of heights. Great job!
Glad you enjoyed it!
When a baby is born, the medics will hold him/her in their hands and "drop" it a couple of inches to see if he has the reflex to stiffen on the drop. If he doesn't, something's wrong with him. We are all afraid of falling, or something's wrong with us. ... As a baby is most imprintable at birth, I wonder if this might not imprint the baby with an even greater fear of falling unless he is desensitized to the dropping shortly after. ??? Just a matter of curiosity. Babies are most teachable from the first, and they learn SO MUCH from Mama that we don't really take the time to understand!
Just found your channel mate. What a great attitude you have towards life. I do believe that people who have turned there hardships and negatives into positives make the best people at heart. You seem like a good man and you connect with your audience in such a way that it rubs off, look at the comments on your vids. You inspire people. Thanks mate
Love the video, some good tips. Especially about checking you gear! Simple step frequently skipped that helps make sure at the end of the day you get to go home. Also really liked that you emphasized not to rush in a tree. Focus on the task not the time it takes to get it done. Speed will come naturally with time and experience. I do think that when you are giving tips on trimming its important to let people know not all trees behave the same. Most evergreens have great hinge and will normally hold great. But if you were to repeat the same in a poplar for example you would have a completely different experience. Important to know your trees. Thanks for the video and stay safe brother.
Slow is smooth and smooth is fast
Great to see you climbing and cutting again and congrats on 197 subs
They don’t make like that anymore. So old school, keep it up Mr Buckin.
hi bukin, hope your are good! you can see the joy and determination for this job!

Greatings from Germany

Nice one Jack that's ace . Hi from somewhere north of the south in the UK and it is good to have you here with the rest of us
@@MrSmithvideo Thankyou sir. lol my last name is also smith haha , peace out brother
That little 2511 is still getting it done!! They’re awesome little saws! Good work Buckin, glad you were able to get yourself into a fun little job. Love to you and the family❤️
I was wondering what model it was, never caught it. Thanks!
Thx for being so positive! Very needed in these times.
I haven't watched a video of yours in some time, but I noticed the editing seemed smoother. Awesome job brother, keep up all the awesome work!
After reading about all the technology, all the extra rigging gear for sale, it is refreshing to see dynamic rigging with elegantly simple threading of an untied rope.
I couldn’t possibly enjoy your videos more! 😁. Mad skills have You ‼️❤️
I miss your climbing vids…. I learned old school for 2.5 years but just recently switch to a zig zag an I love it. But one thing I’ll always rely on is old school rigging, it never fails(if done right lol)
My advice for any new climbers is always to learn old school first (Blake’s or taught hitch) before using mechanicals. In my opinion it does great job of teaching you how to use your ropes and stuff that hoping straight into a mechanical can.

Your an inspirational old beast. Thank you.
I need to get a go-pro so I can record all my tree climbing adventures. I love what Billy does he's great.
Here I was thinking I was the only one still using Klein Steel spikes... huh 🤔 I’m glad to see it👍. Great job as always
I love out little 2511t. Those little saws have great power to weight ratio. Also got the 271t with the muffler modded that I climbed with forever but that little 2511 I dont even feel it hanging from my saddle
love the old homelites.
mean like a stihl. open exhaust. manual oiler.
i wish they still made em.
Hello Speedy Buckin’ You sure Backed that Truck into the Garage, FAST. 😬 👍
You don't know; you weren't there.
Hey new subscribers, don't forget to watch some of his older videos, i know there's a lot of them but they all carry some kind of positive message, good to catch up on the many ways to be kind and show love from your heart.
Thanks Billy man
Stay safe, stay strong
Love how it shakes you on the heavier trunk cuts. Also the closer the knots are to the cuts the less of a drop. Cool ground saw
I like that you are tossing the butt ends of the limbs in the same directions. I've worked under some really messy climbers that have no problem screwing the ground crew by not doing that. And now that I'm a climber, butts always go the same direction.
love the BC license plate showing at the end
Nice seeing the vintage stuff out working!
Great job Buckin, wow that top was really swaying. Great to see somebody enjoying their work and giving great advice as well. The clean up was really good, thinking about when you got it ready for the fire pit at home. Loved the early family photos!! Take care dear friend. Love to all subscribers old and new. Graham🇬🇧🇬🇧🌲🌲
Great video, love the instruction you give, that topping was simple and brilliant brother!
