U can watch all the advice videos on YT and even wear the same clothes as BBR, buy the same wedges, tap your file to clean it just like him, take his filing advice as gospel, run long bars, buy high end Japanese bars, run stihl lights on hooskies....all of that stuff. But really THE best way to buck & not suck is to wear through a few 100ft rolls of chain bucking, wear out a few RSN pro bars, buy sprockets buy the 10 pack and smell of mix regularly. Trust me experiece will teach you almost everything u need to know and will always trump any tutorial. Remember your conditions, wood species and rainfall levels will be different from others in different places. This means your conditions are different so what works best for you must be based off of that. Good luck sawyers.
Yes, no substitute for doing it. But before the internet I was doing it, but had know idea what I was doing. A little instruction will help you interpret experience sooner. It’s just a tool.
Heck yeah excellent video Kevin !! This sure helps me out a lot and some of this I found I’m already doing unknowingly so that’s awesome too makes me happy to know I was doing something right !! You rock man 👍
Great video, very informative and helpful. I see you're running the 872. Seems to be running well. Staying uphill is good. I was downhill of a big fir log a friend was bucking and I had to leap frog over it as it rolled under me - skinned up my shins but saved my legs. Little things like that can become big problems so keep up the good work explaining such things. Ream bucking? 🤔 I gotta lot to learn.🤠
Great job kevin im really digging these videos most guys show you how to fall the biggest trees that most guys wont touch this is what i feel most people will be dealing with i wish you did this video sooner i had to learn for myself but im glad to see i was doing it for the most part right so awesome you touched base on this it will save so many bars and potentially bodies keep up the great work man🤘🏻
Big trees are fun, but little trees present their own challenges- namely, not a lot of room for a wedge in the back, but this isn’t about felling. It’s about bucking techniques. Hope something here helps.
@KevinsDisobedience all your videos help me man I'm a novice for sure but I've stayed safe with your techniques and will never stop learning as much as I can
Thanks Kurt, I’ve got a few more saw videos to make before I move on. One on limbing. One on specific felling tips. A no-nonsense guide to sharpening. And a milling vid. Then I’ll move on to something else. It’s just for fun, and I’ll update the channel as my hobbies change. But it’ll always come under the heading Nature, unless I just flip it over to a book tune channel, which I may well do. Who knows.
Nice
Greetings from Germany Peter

Thanks man, just sharing what’s helped me.

As novice who looks forward to needing 100ft rolls of chain and buying sprockets by the 10 pack, I found this a very enlightening video! Cheers!
lol yeah, everyone’s got an opinion and want you to know yours is stupid. Just sharing what’s helped me.
As a novice level sawyer myself, I appreciate this video a lot.
Fantastic video! I am really enjoying this series.
Thanks, it’ll be over soon.
Lots of good stuff in there. Thanks!
All stuff that helped me. Hope it helps someone else suck a little less.

Good to hear it. A lot of it is pretty straightforward. The more you use the saw the more natural it will feel.

I’m glad it helped. They’re not mine. Just learned for others and passing on the info.
Awesome vid👍👍🪓

Nice video. How much is fire wood in your area? Loving these faster paced vids
$350-500 a Cord. Varies a lot depending on where you sell it and if it’s split and delivered.
Technique is everything isn't it?
That and a sharp chain
