I got to be the Firewood Fairy back in February this year during Southeastern Kentucky's ice and snow storm. Electricity was out couple of days and neighbor with 5 kids was out of wood except for a stack of frozen oak slabs. I was blessed with plenty of wood myself last year so was able to give him some seasoned Black Locust rounds that only needed split then fired up the saw and cut frozen slabs. Got him through till he got a load delivered from a local seller. Felt good to help and give back. He'd recently given me a 15lb frozen turkey and a small box of frozen Salmon filets to make room in his freezer. I admire your "Be Kind" motto and hope more people take it to heart.
AMEN. When we go Home at The End what we see is what we did that was in some way about LOVE. And that's the Truth - with a capital "T". The one that the Carpenter talked about so much.
My mum was the daughter of a timber man. She was 5' 2" and 98 lbs. I watched her drop 6 gnarly Spruce in our yard full of flowers and overhead power lines with an axe and a Swede saw in under an hour, and each one with 3 inches to spare to each side! It took my brothers a week to buck those knot filled trees. She dropped em, when she found out the boys were sneaking out at night, by climbing down them. They were grounded till it was all bucked and stacked. Never get the Irish up in a tiny woman! Your Bobo reminds me of my mum, tough and rarin' to go!
That's funny! 😆 🤣
“Life is good” best quote of the day 💪💪
oh god is it ever! that puts the day right into perspective.
I’m digging this guy. The world needs more of that. “One planet 🌍 one family.”
"It just worked out because the length of my wood"
That older gentlemen has got a mean swing with that axe, I did not expect that.
NICE SEEING BOBO STILL LOOKS HEALTHY GOD BLESS HER 95 YEARS YOUNG
yes she has passed on her vibrant spirit to us
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith Looking at these comments on my phone and all I saw was 'yes she has passed', not going to lie, my heart dropped. So good to see her strong and healthy though! Mississippi sending love your way.
Australia loves you Buckin’!!! You have motivated me!! I’ve done it!!! I start my new job with QTF (Queensland Timber and Firewood) on Monday! 💪🏼 after spending the last 7+ years of retail, I’m becoming a woodman!!! Straight up, 4 days away in the bush, 11 hour days, but I’m so keen! So ready!! Thanks for showing me, what I AM made of! All the best for ya Billy! Will send ya a pic of my first day!
How is it going?
Yeah how’s it going?
Absolutely love’n it!!! We aim for 50-70 ton a day… and I’ve been made up to site Forman already, and operating a 6ft dropsaw
Got at update for us mate? Trucking along ok? Can’t wait for this stinking heat to leave so we can get back in the bush!
Thank you Buckin. I am Australian, been one hell of a year, been in and out of lockdowns, lost my job, running a family with little in the tanks and all that stress. Your vids have been keeping me going. My axes and saw chains are razor sharp, will get out cutting again soon. God bless ya!
Hello Mr Buckin' Again and all the buckin' army! Lots of kindness from these Portuguese subscriber!
If nothing else I get from your videos, and believe me I get plenty, I love the positive and loving attitude. The world could use a heck of a lot more of it.
New Zealand citizen in Australia. Thanks for the love Buckin'
We moved to Maine 12 years ago there's so much truth in this video I'm still learning EVERYDAY ...
came for the firewood shed design, stayed for the drum solo... right on BBR!
👍cheers from Australia fella🇦🇺🇦🇺
You guys stay safe over there too🤘🍻🔥
When buckin said “summer breeze” had me rolling 😂 your a funny guy bucking thanks for the upload
Oh gosh Billy, lovely old crosscut saw sitting on your woodshed in the snow, send her this way if yer not gonna use her friend, Ill make her sing a good old toon again!
I love watching americans and europeans split wood. It's so easy and soft. I'd love to give you guys some Aussie hardwood and see why we struggle so much. Keep the videos going buckin, love the education and entertainment from down under 🇦🇺🇦🇺
I can almost hear "Daniel san!" Every swipe of that snow shovel!!
he he
One thing that helped me swing an axe more accurately was putting my dominant hand on the bottom of axe handle (closest towards you). I see most right handed people do it with the left hand on the bottom, but for me it greatly improved my axe swinging to do the opposite (I notice bearclaw swings this way too)! Thanks buckin. This will be my 3rd season harvesting firewood and your videos on watching the crown, falling, sharpening chain were the only ones that made sense to me back then.
i do same way, saves me a lot of energy, and chop it easier
I’ve never tried that ! I’d probably miss the world and fall over !
@@CrimeVid Pretty sure I'd cut my leg off if I tried that crap. I tried to air axe it goofy and just about took the boys out
I do flip my hands while golf splitting occasionally, but non-dominant on bottom will always be my default personally!
God has a special place for you and your loved ones my friend. God bless.
I didn't know about firewood cutting in the winter. Thanks.
That there was some excellent information
G'day Bobo and Mama Buckin. Australia thanks you too Buckin.
Seeing Bobo raise her arms in a position of strength just made my day! Seeing her do that just made everything in my life a whole lot easier! Love and blessings to all ❤️💪

I have been mixing live sound for 35 years and thats a good sounding kit!
Barb runs a tight ship, with the firewood. Excellent!
You reminded me of my dad when he used to come out for 5 minutes to shovel and "show us how it's done." Ahh the good ol days.
This is the most adorable video. Thanks Buckin
Billy, I'm commenting before watchin ..... therefor, I may comment twice. I just came over from watchin Tinman's latest. He's picking up your lingo and left a little screen message, at the end, like your intro here. Your kindness and love is contagious.
Thanks for spreadin it, Buckin!
Love ya, mother.
I always come back when I see a new buckin' video! Every time I see one of yer vids, I think in my minds eye, bee kind!! Thanks for the positive content!
You can't buy a shovel where I'm at. Sold out at the stores, according to the radio. I've been plowing snow since Friday morning sunrise to sunset.
I watched people wait until the last minute to get supplies, then go outside during the storm. On there adventure in flipfops and night gowns drive to the
Store. Every year same story, amazing how far we have evolved.
I pack everything I can to go to work, and watch others, they take nothing. So who is right, they just wait for someone to help them when there stuck in the ditches. I drive an old truck , they drive a car not worthy of crossing over a pop can. Buckin says be kind, not stupid. Don't put other people in harm's way because you don't care if you live another day. Winter lasts about 5 months. So do so preparing in the summer, that's my message of kindness. Good luck.
Yep, feel your frustration, see it all the time.
Be kind but don't stoop for stupid, it's a fact of life, young people especially, don't know til they know or die before they ever learn.
To put others in harms way is not smart... Be smart
Be kind, be wise, be safe, be strong, be because.
Hi Buckin. Times have been tough for us over here in Wales UK. Thank you for your kind words today for those of us still in lockdown.We will get through this and come out stronger for sure . Love watching your videos last thing at night. Take care.
Buckin my friend you are so privileged to still have both your mother and grandmother. They are such awesome people and in my experience it's uncommon to have both at your age. I lost my grandmother when I was young and just lost my mother 9/15/2020 so please give both your mother and grandmother a hug for me every chance you get as they are very special people ❤. My love and kindness be with you forever my friend.
Your family is extremely lucky to have you. Seriously! I wish I had you in my life! Or someone like you, I needed someone like you growing up! Glad I found your channel a year or so ago!!
lots of love and strongness to bobo and a BIG hug !
How can you not like winter? Snow. Woodburner heat. Splitting firewood while snow gently falls and everything is quiet. It is so special.
Winter isn’t the problem, it’s the cold😁
@@larryreno8293 problem with winter it’s too damn long
Hody trevor and Barbara. You have done the best job of stacking firewood I have seen.gerat job .
It's the most relaxing thing to sit and watch these videos. Much love from Scotland
I like your practicality. Very applicable.
That’s so cool seeing your Mother & your Grandmother!
Good people.
Great video…
Thanks Buckin, out of hard lockdown down under, and I needed this tune up to get out and get some wood!
Love the handy hank. Showed my daughter that when she was 4. She's now 25 and agrees that it is one of the best things ever as long as no one is looking!
Best advice ever to do firewood all year I'm in thanks
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! My husband and I are new wood stove users, this being only our 2nd winter using wood to heat our garage and hang out spot. Last winter we relied on the "fire wood fairy" :) Live and learn they say.....and I intent to never quit learning!
Your a mad man with that shovel BR, thanks for all the videos brother!
I learned from my Mother that how ever many cords I split, she’ll burn. Three cords a year is “enough” but if I bring her six she’ll burn six. I never run out of reasons to split more wood, and our Ponderosa produces wonderful pitch wood, so a few big wheelbarrows of pitch kindling are always part of the delivery. I couldn’t use firewood as a side gig if I wanted to, it’d all get burned 😂
haha i'm the same way now. "I never run out of reasons to split more wood"
Snow chuckin Buckin! Love the positivity and love brother.
I have been burning wood for 40 years in an old Adirondack farm house. Every thing you said about wood shed design is 100% right on. Roof only - No sides, plenty of air flow and stay 2 years ahead. Amen Brother Buckin'.
Loving your videos and the message you are putting out, keep up the positive message, Billy Ray.
So glad Bobo is still going strong!
95. Has Dementia but still going.
@@BandfromGlad I hope you get a clear day with her mama buckin. I love your music!
Watching this as I'm planning my first ever wood shed on the property! Thanks for the design ideas Buckin! You're a freakin wood genius my friend haha! Cheers once again from the Kootenays!
Great to see the moms doing so well.
That axe from Jeff has a really good looking handle on it. The head is not to shabby either.
The double head axe is really cool. I would love to give a swing.
Peace, Love, Be Kind, Be Safe and Be Healthy. 🪓😎👍😉
Buckin, I really love your videos. You're a crazy guy but a really good kind of crazy. You make me laugh and I really always am entertained by you. You make me feel the blessings. love and I like your life attitude. I'm 73 and I am a really blessed guy. God has been so good to me and I pray for you and your family. Live life and share the love of God.
Hey Trevor and Barb! Beautiful property you have! Love the long stump being used as a bird feeder! Sure the birds love it too 🐦🙂

Barbs wood pile is a work of art! Just beautiful!
Buckin' thanks this was exactly what I've been looking for!
Love your videos man you crack me up! Life’s a garden dig it.

Got my buckin “get the gullet” hoodie coming, can’t wait. And yes, life is definitely good.
Stand Up and Buck that Snow! I wish we could get some of that down here in Tampa, Florida. Thx for another great video, Billy. Cheers!
The video of you cutting down the tree in the woods is the first video i watched of yours buckin and im glad i clicked on that video because you have taught me so much keep it up ☺
Fantastic, I sure enjoy listening to Buckins music. Cutting wood is therapeutic especially when ya do it with a friend. Nice work Buckin 👍
Thanks Buckin'. Loving the longer video's, we're still in lockdown in the UK (3rd time lucky) so I needed this today!
Brother you are a credit to the human race! Awesome.
NICE work Jeff 💪🏻💪🏻🪓⚡️⚡️
Breath of fresh air. You know what I’m sayin. Yea you do.
3 generations strong 💪🏻
Kindness and love.
Hey there Mama Buckin, it's good to see you doing great!
His humility is an admirable quality that’s for sure
Great video Billy, thanks for the tips.
I heard some John Bonham Good Times Bad Times in the beat for a bit there . Awesome! Thanks for the wood stacking advice. Grateful everyday to live in our cabin on a river.
Australia loves you too, Buckin' 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Awesome Vid. Of Kindness ! Hay Trevor & Barb ! Loved Seeing Bo Bo Strong Gal, Hi Sherry. ATB T God Bless
Awesome! I love the ending! Great job Buckin!!👍
Just bought 6.5 acres of wooded land that I hope to build a house/cabin on and make good use of the wood onsite. While I did grow up on a farm, we didn't do much wood work, didn't depend on wood stove for heat, so even in my mid-50s, got a lot to learn. Thanks for the info.
Most aggressive snow shoveling I’ve seen yet, makes quick work of it. Stay safe friend.
Good to see the Ol Mustard Tiger out there bustin up some rounds!
Cool double bit🕶 I like how a guy wouldn’t be afraid of using it as a lever n torque that wood apart after you’ve sunken that short cutter in a-ways. As always thanks for you and your reminder’s to be kind to ones self😌
Yes nice axes 👍
can't believe you get so funky on the drums. You are awesome!
I listen to these when I'm chopping wood and sometimes working can't wait to get a personal buckin axe
When I get the chance
15:40 "Good Times Bad Times" Love the Bonzo! One of my fav's. I used to have an old Rogers kit. Had the most amazing sounding floor tom.
If you are full of firewood you are rich! And smart...
True...
Prayers going out to all those in Texas who have lost power in the ice blizzard
