Dude is intense! I love how into it
he is. He is THE BEST at his craft!
Billy really explained his thought process in great detail ... which is what the audience needs to understand in order to put Arborist felling techniques. WELL DONE Billy !!!
I’m a novice and been cutting my own trees to clear some land. So much to learn. That was a master class in felling. Awesome.
This guy is like Bob Ross on caffeine. I just found this channel and, friends, I'm hooked. I cut a lot of wood so this is helpful with the tips and techniques. Amazing how he works so hard and fast and doesn't even break a sweat.
bob ross meets crocodile hunter but with a chainsaw. its beautiful
That, and he steps you through his thought process and explains what he's doing. Excitable dude to be sure, but patient and nice about what he's doing.
That's hilarious ! A very good description. Like me some Buckin Billy Ray !
I'm a city slicker, friends, but I so enjoy watching the science of difficult tree felling.
Wild. The combination of cuts, wedges and holding wood, all together to steer the tree. Its like he left just the perfect amount of hinge in the perfect location, in combination with everything else. I see how this can take a long time to master and know all the appropriate decisions for a particular tree
That was real tree man stuff there. Patients and knowledge prevailed.
I can’t believe how he was able to steer that tree in the opposite direction of the way it was leaning. That’s nuts. Lots of experience pays off👍 Pretty amazing to me😄 Dropped it exactly where he said he wanted to put it.
Well i never would have believed it had I not seen it. Brilliant video Billy 🇬🇧
That was a great piece of work. I'd have bet my house that dropping the tree where you did was impossible. Just shows what can be achieved by someone with the right combination of knowledge and brains.
The Master uses science borne of experience into a precise, refined art. I was mesmerized. Such a joy to watch.
It’s amazing to watch people that have absolutely mastered their craft, you are the magician of felling trees!
Superb instructions! You should start a felling school! That tree was huge, and you convinced it to do you wanted it to do!!
Bucking, i have watched every one of your videos, some over and over, i have learnt so much from you. i think, out of all the advice you have shared, there's one piece of advice that has just stuck in my head, and i feel is the one most important of all, and that's when you say "i am not in a rush, i am at peace" this one peice of advice has changed my whole approach to cutting trees down. youre a top bloke Bucking...
it took me a while to learn this ,, but was beatin' into me ,, literally , thx
GREAT JOB. This person KNEW what he was doing.
Nothing like sitting back and watchin Buckin drop a tree. Educational and relaxing all in one, keep at it Buckin, that was a hell of a cut.
BY FAR-
Sketchiest tree I ever saw you fell !!!
You're still the MASTER !
GREAT WORK, Billy Ray !
This is what I want to see. Cutting the difficult ones the hard way so we can see what is possible
Just found this channel. This guy is one, cool cucumber. Plan to watch a lot more.
New subscriber here. Love me the Bushqvarnas, Macs and Canuck Ford trucks! Exactly what I have owned and used in B.C.
Love and respect friend!
Dennis in Redding , Commiefornia... 😎
The positivity you radiate is awesome. There is so much to learn in your videos, not just about tree work but about being calm, thinking through problems, and being a good person. We need more people like you. Keep it up!
So nice of you
When the Wizard of Nanaimo puts up a vid of his magic, ya gotta watch! Well done Buckin!
Nice... The Wood Wizard
Great technical felling. I always enjoy what I learn from your videos.
Watching a master is so enjoying. Nothing done without a clear reason. One step at a time. And every step looking at the results. Well done my freind.
Un-F'ing Believable! The physics of that tree were screaming NO WAY- but you put it RIGHT where you said you wanted it!
We all bow down- "We're not worthy!" Another FANTASTIC video!
Buckin your old trucks are awesome but nothing beats that OBS 7.3 of your dad's. Best truck Ford ever made!!
The reminder of I’m not in a hurry is great. I have made some bad mistakes because I get scared and nervous. Then I hurry. Then trees in the power lines. This man is a tree surgeon.
banging & lifting
totally rotten middle
you make it look so easy
woohoo atta boy! 👏 bravo
My first BBRS video and friends I must say, Wow!
Notice how he takes his time and constantly checking the cuts. The key to avoiding mishaps or disasters is to slow down the process so you don't make mistakes that would cause injuries and regret.
A lesson there for all of us. Study the tree, take your time.
You are awesome at what you do, Buckin' Billie Ray. In my book, you're the Tree Fellin' Whisperer.
Buckin, your expertise and willingness to not only share technique but your thinking makes these videos a masterclass for those who will also pick up a saw tp fell trees. For me, it always makes me both nervous and thrilled to watch your conscientious methods. Thanks for sharing
Ur a badass man, I do tree work out in Ontario but ur videos are just a totally different level 🤘🏻😂
That was beautiful, I was starting to sweat just watching!
YOU DIDN'T TOOK ANY CHANCE, YOU PERFECTLY KNEW HOW TO DO IT. YOU ARE A SNIPER LUMBERJACK. BRAVO
That was totally frickin amazing!
What a talent!!
Skill beyond belief!!!
The amount of skill and patience.
Just… wow… that drop was perfect and that tree was absolutely rotten… great skill!
I love how much he explains everything good man thank you friend
The master at work. Lovely to watch.
That was truly craftsmanship. With all that lean and where you wanted to put the tree it's amazing you didn't even have to stack wedges. I can see why you decided to go ahead though because while there was a hole in the heart it had some good wood left for wedging. Great to see a pro felling timber like this.
I don't have an ounce of knowledge and experience you do but, the Husky instructional videos I watched (lol) when I bought my new 460 Rancher to drop a bunch of leaners on the property, they recommended a bore cut just to see if it was rotten in the middle. Thanks for educating us green horns, could save a life or property. I appreciate your calm, collected, calculating demeanor, makes sense. I often put a rope on and pull them down with my old 73 Ford. You da Man!
My BSA chainsaw instructor taught to always bore through anything over (10"?) before felling the tree, He had a few good looking trees explode on him from rot and made it a personal safety protocol to do so. He is alive today because of it That is & was his message. ... Just saying ...
@@michaelpcooksey5096 I agree... There's really no way of knowing where the strength that's holding the tree is at without a peek. Plenty of disastrous oak trees full of rot that have given way and split up the trunk where no one was cutting.
Problem I'm seeing if pent up stress from hurricanes causing trees to do the exact opposite of what it looked like they were trying to do. Piney woods East of Houston and actually seeing figured white oak like a maple flame and quilt grain patterns.
@@michaelpcooksey5096 yeah no. Years as a choker setter/buncher/feller then tree service resi n commercial...... no. You may go too far and make your felling dangerous. The knowledge of rot comes with years of experience
@@babiesfartingfire6007 I’ve seen several trees that look 100% but after cutting there all rotten. A small poke would give you the info. Even a long narrow drill bit would tell you what is going on.
@@michaelpcooksey5096 Thanks for that! I know most Cedars are rotten in the middle and soft, I will proceed with caution! I wear my nice orange chaps if i'm going to do much chainsaw work too, Billy doesn't, lol.
Over here across the pond we’d say, Billy knows his onions.
A man in his element and at one with himself.
Outstanding planning, you had that thing pegged!
Damn that felt so good to watch. Thank you so much for that awesome demonstration
so clever.. that was quite a lean.. and with rotten wood in the centre its a bigger challenge. well played mister! truly amazing stuff 👌👊
I was on the edge of my seat for that one ! Outstanding job sir! 👍✌🤓
Wowwwwww. Thank you for posting.
My BSA chainsaw instructor from a northern area lumber company had GOOD LOOKING trees explode on him from rotten wood. Afterwards he made it a personal safety step to bore cut every tree he dropped over a certain diameter (10"?). He lived through the experiences & recommends that practice to everyone he teaches. Billy, you tend to get a little wild, but your thinking things through in a nice humble way here. Glad to see it. Great job & video. Glad you survived the impulsive years loaded with MACHO. God Bless
@word salad The bore cut is the 'plunge' cut. Its when you plunge the chainsaw blade directly into the tree stem instead of using the long sides to cut it down. Technique is needed so you tilt the saw bar so ONLY the bottom of the tip engages the wood and gently pushing it you can rotate it until the bar is at 90 degrees to the tree... at which point you can simply bore through to most of the length of the bar. Danger here without technique is the newbie initially engages the top tip of the bar instead of the bottom. This can quickly cause the bar to snap back toward your head ... short bars in particular can do this, the long bars may kick back but the tip and weight of the bar will give much more control. I was told to always stiff arm a plunge / bore cut so it would not rotate but kick the entire arm and saw up and away.
Real ARTIST AT WORK👍👍
Good Job. All my instincts said no way you could bang it in any direction away from that it was leaning. You are the master.
When you have a dangerous tree like that fall exactly how you want it is a testament of your knowledge.
Hey Buckin’
No problems, only solutions! This video has it all. Why would anyone want to skip parts of your video. So much valuable information to be learned. Thanks for explaining your thoughts and process in taking that tree down .
Stay safe, be kind and love always wins ❤️🪓🪵✊🏻
To see all that pressure on the wedges and it not spitting out was impressive
BAD A$$ backwards!! You, sir, are a serious pro!!
Really impressive. What an Excellent job on a bear of a tree
That was pretty damn impressive Buckin. It is incredible the amount of force those wedgies added. I definitely learned something in this one. Thanks for the great content as always.
One man with this amount of skill. I am certain this was real but it is hard to believe. You have SKILLS. Thank you for sharing.
Well done sir … new subscriber from England 🏴
Consistent performance under extreme conditions - that's what these heavy-duty machines deliver.
Amazing that a couple of tiny wedges can push a big tree against such a hard lean. I kept expecting the whole thing to break off in the opposite direction. Well done, sir.
I never skip because I am at peace therefore no need to hurry! Great job Billy .
nice job, thank you.
been felling trees on my properties in the Cariboo for years but i always try to remember how unpredictable every tree is and try to learn more from every experience and people like you.
who knew watching this sort of thing could be so satisfying! Makes me sorry I moved back to the city!
==== This guy is an artist and a mathematician at work. ===
Keep up the good work friend love watching you teach ❤
after nealy dying from a branch spring back 8 years ago I learnt so much from you tonight {broken pelvis, three ribs and 5 vertabrae] and I walked out of The Alfred in Melbourne 3 Month3 Later
Good to see that ole Super Pro 81 running, I didn't even have to look to know what it was they have such a distinctive sound.
wow , you are incredible , your techniques are the best
@ 25:00 I CAN imagine the work those two wedges are doing!! Jeepers!! That was as impressive as it was informative, my friend!!
🌳☀️Thanks 😊
I had to work hard yesterday felling a dead, leaning, and punky White Ash. Too small of an under cut notch. I was embarrassed. 20” bar on a 610 wt spikes. A learning experience. Again🌳.
I love this channel 👍🏻
Man, love your videos! Recently acquire some coastal property in Oregon, BIG Sitkas and Hemlock. I really appreciate the time you take to explain and all of the techniques you use, and to NOT get excited. Keep on going! and if you're in Oregon, come on out and help me take down about 30-40 big Sitkas.
Awesome job Billy. I knew u would get her right where u wanted beutiful
The brains of tree surgeons thanks Billy you got the right STUFF
You know when you can just tell someone is a great person? If not, this is how.
Buckin you have done a masterful job sr. Nice and calm. Cool and collected. Very well done. The man. The myth. The legend.
As an east coast guy, I'm impressed. I never would have thought the rotten softwood would hold that extra second. I know you don't like the bore cut however in white oak and ash it's a needed skill. Your chain is filed almost exclusively for softwood and if it were put to a dead ash tree in a bore cut you would be holding on for dear life. Nice job friend keep the positive vibes flowing. Peace out!
The decimation of the Ash has sure been a sad thing to have to participate in... they were beautiful trees, as were the elm of my youth.
This was a great video!
Perfect wedgemanshiip.....Tickled the cut! Forced that tree to fall in an unnatural direction.....great cuttin Buckin!
Great video Buckin, i love what we do friend!!
He's the best feller I"ve ever seen. Less flashy than some, etc. But, he's just so intuitively smart (born from experience after experience and dedication - decades of it). Nobody should think they could do anything remotely this complex...that's how accidents happen:).
The wood whisper at his finest people that was so awesome...
exactly what I said as the tree was about to fall with one more axe mini-tickle-tap and Buckin said "that must be it eh?"
I said "bleepin tree whisperer"
It's amazing how much lift happened with those wedges.
awesome teaching technics always willing to learn thanks
I love this I’m a woodswomen in Idaho . I love the woods . Enjoy
amazing tree prep and control. excellent job.
you are an artist
i was actually holding my breath while buckin was hammering those wedges lol
Thank you for taking us with you.
This is the stuff where you're at your best. Respect and thanks for sharing the knowledge.
I wish my boss would use the " slow is safe " mentality...
Great video as always
Buck-n , it's been awhile, hello from Alaska.
Good job, I would have roped it to save my bacon, then did the same you did. I still use a safety line because , I don't have your experience. .., who does. Nice work, and that broken handle had me laughing my head off, owe and it broke the wedge, ah ha.😄. I dropped one like this heading for my brothers brand new house, I used a steel splitting wedge to bring it over, finished cutting my back cut and did the rest with the steel wedge knowing I had to keep the rest for strength, I could feel the pressure on that steel wedge , finally she came over. .. My Brother later did the same with another tree and lost it and had to repair his roof overhang and some siding, I wish I was there to help him. Glad no one got hurt..
On mine, I did not use a rope (back then) but I should have. . Liv'n and Learning, a huge lesson here is to slow down and give yourself time to think and adjust your decisions as you go. Good job Buck'n , to those that watched this for the 1st buck'n video..ah ha, you got to watch some more, this guy is good. Thanks Buck'n and Hello to your Son for me, well Everyone! from Alaska.
Keep slam'n buddy, I'm Proud of your Truckers, tell them Thanks from Alaska. "Freedom!". Nice Place you guys have there, real nice, and Good Teamwork, Good Family.
Side note; your comment I agree with regarding the plunge...over used and this here tree, is when it is used well, I agree with your comments alot, you got my Thunder, like I said years ago , We are alot alike. Thanks for Another Good one..
Carry on
Wow, that was beautiful. You had as much control as is ever possible with a twisted number like that...skill+preparation = success. It even laid down gently. Incredible. Great job!!!
It’s amazing what a little wedge can do for a fell. I had a 70 ft red oak a year or so ago that had me scared. I studied it for two days before I touched it with a saw. Got my wedge done, then my back cut. The rascal just stood there, mocking me. Then I slid the all powerful wedge into my back cut to add a little directional
help. Snap, crackle and pop, she was on the ground. My wood heater loves it!! All the best!!
Master class! Love how you had it balanced, then tipped the balance all cuts in the money. Will watch this one more than once, lol.
Great Cut Billy nice video. Liked how you took your time Yes! it's a WIN
Excellent execution, total control, level head and superb explanation throughout the process.
Respect and thanks for sharing
Well done Billy, thanx for the video, I learned a lot on this one !!!
You definitely proved yourself on this one, Buckin! Wow... just wow! Great, flipping job man! I'm very impressed!!
The true tree falling saw right their. I love and old old
