Hi everyone ,, thank you all for you positive vibrations. we have all worked hard here and have something special ,, i love workin' for ya folks and comin' here ..

I’m really high and every time a buckin-inspirational quote pops up I feel like god is talking to me

My Pop introduced me to this one word and I will never forget it, I am 70 years old now and my Pop is long gone. Thanks for that one Pop. The word is “tough”. Look it up. “Strong and durable; not easily broken or cut, not brittle or tender.” “Capable of great endurance; sturdy; hardy.” This to me is the very definition of being a man. Respect for your fellow creatures and never be afraid to call a lier a lier to there face. Lying I consider being a major breach in any interaction with humans. Lie to me once we are done.

I’ve never seen another group on KZfaq that is as positive as this one. It seems as though the internet often brings the worst out of people but this group and these videos fly directly in the face of that and I am thoroughly enjoying it! Thank you all and let’s be kind to one another!

“Practice listening, instead of thinking what you’re gonna say!” Great advice for the young and old! Love it!

For 11 years, in the Kootenays, and in my 70s, I managed to stay safe in felling & splitting our fire wood. Now elsewhere & caregiver to my wife in long term care with Alzheimer’s, your show helps me to deal with our terrible journey. Thank you.

Merry Christmas to the Buckin family. Thank you for this place. Everyone here has been very welcoming to me. Thank you all for that! Keep up the goodwork biggin

Hi Billy, my name is Will and I’m from Ohio in the United States. I just wanted to say hi and thank you for what you do. What I like most is how upbeat you are it make me want to be a better kind to man. Thank you for all you do keep it up. Love you man.

Hey Buckin!! Man I really love watching your video's!!! Your attitude and energy towards life is infectious!! I've only been watching for a couple weeks now, and you're my favorite channel BY FAR!! Also, I've been going back and watching some of your older videos and came across one where you talked about turning your life around and getting off drugs and alcohol. Proud to say that we have that in common. January 2nd will be 12 years for me without one drop of alcohol or any drugs. God bless, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year! I will keep watching!!

Nice work!!! It's definitely enjoying watching you get after the wood pile nothing heats like wood.

I like the pickeroons for the truck picking too... if the dump gets some stuck on the side and it just makes you look like a professional wood guy!!! Keep er movin'!!!

I love the redness of that wood, beautiful firewood!

Thanks for putting together this channel Billy Ray. I just bought some acreage of timber and my first chainsaw, your videos have been very helpful to me as I get my property fixed up. God Bless.

Never in my life of watching KZfaq have i ever felt so welcomed to a channel, honestly. You really are something special brother god bless🙏🏼

Thank you once again for another great video Billy! Can't have enough wood management tools, so my "go to's" are a regular old hook like yours, a 12" hookaroon, a 28" hookaroon and a 36" pickaroon...all get fairly equal use, depending on the task... Peace all and Billy, keep the positive vibes coming...

buckin that truck is a beauty and she needs some ospho. let her live free from rust eating away. give her the ospho hug she deserves

Thank you, I appreciate the time you spend making these videos and sharing them with us.

Thanks for the inspiration Billy Ray.You remind Me of my Late father who died 24years ago and he's my Best Friend! Following in your footsteps. Rock on Brother.🏆

Buckin I am so thankful to be here! I told my wife we are going to buckin stock 2020! I’m saving my dollars!

Buckin Billy ray, I have been watching you for quite a while now. Hands down the best KZfaq channel it's like watching a tv series you can't get enough of. Thank you sir.

Man, it doesn't matter what you post, I just genuinely enjoy everything you post because of your outlook on life and the positivity you put out in the world. Your attitude brightens my day regardless of what's going on. So thanks.

Good morning from N.C. Buckin and Army!! I'm also working up fire wood today along with working on a echo cs-3000 top Handel saw and getting ready to make my 044 in to a ported 460 big bore hybrid :) I'm just happy to be doing what I love to do! Peace love and kindness going out to ALL!!

I got 4 axe handles for Christmas! for my grandpa’s old splitting axes & hatchets!

I love seeing these old trucks used. They always work awesome and look downright mean doing it.

billy getting out of his truck 30 yds away saying “haha, it worked!”.. made my day.

A quiet tongue gains wisdom without judgment. Hope all are doing great! Love from the Ozarks.

Good morning to ya Billy Ray.I thought I would share a wood trick my Uncle Rondell taught me when I was 16. Always stack your wood bark side up to shed the water when it rains and your wood will be dry enough for the fire. That's the same day he tought me the flick. Thanks Uncle Rondell,I will never forget you. RIP 😔

I have mad respect for you brotha!

You’re welcome Buckin!!! I have a lot of fun being here and being kind!!! Looking forward to the Roarin 20’s with the Army and fellow soldiers of kindness!!!

Watching your work really makes me appreciate my forklift,tractor,splitter and 20 ft flatbed with a lift gate. I am just starting out and here I'm whining about not having a dump bed or trailer. Much respect. I have one of those hooks for hay I'm going to try and I'm definitely going to buy a pickeroon thank you for demonstrating as both tools have their place.

those stacks are beautifull in many ways. security. warmth. aesthetic. stature. just the beaty of the wood. i bet the smell is great. what a life u got there man.

You've a heart of GOLD! Thank you from the U. S. A. !!!!

Goodness, kindness, love! I'm drawn to it as a moth is to a flame. Thank you for putting yourself out to us. Beautiful!!!!!

This is the best channel on KZfaq. When I watch it it makes me want to go do stuff.

Thank you, Buckin, for all you do. For a guy who just wanted to show chain sharpening and sell 20 axes 😄, you've created a movement to make the world a better place.

I get what you mean , the pickeroon makes you half stoop , guaranteed back ache , the hook makes you keep moving , easier on the old hinges . Great video 👍🇬🇧

The Right Tool For The Right Job Brother

Really liked the massages throughout this video they absolutely hit home buckin.

Another fantastic video! 👍👍

That pulp hook is nice, I will have to try it. Thanks Billy. Take care.

I wanted to take a minute to thank you for your chain sharpening video's. The difference is night and day the way my saws cut through a piece of wood. I've tried every gizmo and gadget and came to the realization that they are mostly a crutch and the lowly file does the best job. Once I spent the time to get a good straight stroke and know what to look for, WOW! Chunks are flying. I have several saws, some are cheep home owner saws and some pro grade, and they are all awesome tools to get the job done now. Thanks again!

Hi billy Mike from Ireland I use a shorter handle pickeroon for picking logs up off the ground I wouldn't go no where without it stay safe love your vids

Hi Billy Ray it's great that you are sharing your time and vision for work. A great positive friend.

I ordered a pulp hook based upon your recommendation and it will be here Tuesday.

Thanks Buckin love this community. Thank you everyone here for being supportive and real about life and life lessons. 🌲❤🌲✊

What an inspiration you are!!! Stay strong. Godspeed

I use a pickaroon all the time to skid wood to, and to pick up wood onto my hydraulic splitter. I'm only in my 40's but, I have the back of someone in their 80's. Repetitive bowing kills my lower back due to prior back injuries.

I love watching the firewood videos great job buckin keep em coming!!!!!

Hey buckin you have a brake light out on the drivers side.

just used my new pick today-what a great tool. really saved time and fatigue..

Cheers to you and yours Sir Billy. Thank for sharing your wisdom, you always make a pile of sense to me. Peace and love to all✌️❤️😊🌞

The hook is me too Billy:). I also have a little hook on the tip, helps to hold the wood. Great info:)

Every time I watch I learn something new. Keep it up. Happy Holidays everyone!!!

Love watching you make sharpen axes chainsaw chains big shout out from Newfoundland

Interesting how regionally names for tools vary. In Maine my grampa used 2 different pulp hooks. The first was called a birch hook. It was made from round stock was very sharp. They used them to toss white birch for the tooth pick mill. The big risk was the hook diving into a punky heart wood and wouldnt let go on the toss. The other pulp hook was usually made from flat stock ground to a point on the end. I have one of each that he passed down to me. Kinda cool!

Billy your firewood is beautiful, I'm used to pin oak, locust, maple, ash, hedge apple but nothing as beautiful as that fir. Love the video.

Pickaroon is awesome for rolling logs over so u can finish cutting thru. He'll I use it to gather brush n make brush pile. They work good to just grab a big log n drag it closer to trailer to split

After I saw your first video showcasing pulp hooks for firewood, I searched Amazon and found picaroons. Then I was confused about which to buy and searched a hundred videos only to find your comparison video on the two in the end lol. Pulp hooks it is haha thanks!!

I find a pickaroon pretty handy rolling logs on a firewood pile or dragging heavy pieces back so you have room to cut again. Also handy if your picking firewood in the woods in some brush. Grandpa would always grind the tip like a sharp hook. Sticks better on hardwood. Nice for standing big pieces on end for splitting. Lots of different tools for different applications. A day on the firewood pile is a good day. Enjoy the content on your videos.

I've stared making my own wood. I'm looking for picking tool for me. I think that hook supoused to be longer. To reach split and stay higher. I think you are right. Hook looks better and I had the same thoughts when seller show me in store. Now crazy stuff. I feel like I have been using this tool a lot:) like axe. I grab it as a teenager and first hit and I felt the same. Father was proud of me when he saw that after few hours of work I was like like a pro. Proud of my father was more courious than my abilities;]

Buckin, we in Europe (Germany, Swiss, Austria) are using the „Pikeroon“ very often. We call it „Sapie“. There are normally 2 handle Sizes. Short and Long . You are using a Long one.

Watching this was kind of nice. I saw little gestures and movements you used with you pulp hook that I use when I use a spike back tomahawk for the same purpose. What works for you is the best way. Glad you are happy with your method I'll get a pulp hook for next season and give it a bash

Awesome video billy. thanks for the content!

I prefer the pulp hook as well the pickaroon looks like might be good for digging wood out of frozen snow covered pile

Omg 89.4 subscribers. Less then 10k to go. Kindness is taking over this channel. Love you all. Welcome to our growing family all the newcomers.

You are great your videos are educational learning how to split wood

I've been using a pickaroon to unload my truck for several years now. Best use for the tool that I've found, saves a lot of jumping in and out of the bed! Lookin fwd to what's in store for 2020! Cheers!

I like the pickaroon for loading the tractor bucket the wood is to heavy to throw. Hard maple.

Your my favourite lumberjack person I love your vids soo so so so much please makes more❤❤❤❤❤❤

Nice thumbnail The stuff looks gorgeous

That Mercury truck is so badass .

I watch your videos all the time

That truck sounds so sweet.........

That was a great video Billy ! Thanks for always putting up great content, your the best and a pleasure to watch !!

Haha. Love it. You bail out of the truck without shutting the door. I'm so the king of not shutting the truck door. Yes this comment was kind of random. Man I have alot of catching up to do on your videos. Some say I work way too much. Great video once again.

I agree the hook wins from ground to truck, I will say if you have a extra step like a low trailer or wheel barrow you can pickeroon into that without having to two hand it and then handbomb into a truck, but do what works for you is the best advice. Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Discovered your channel. Dude...you are doin' it right on all cylinders man. Keep to your truth sir and thank you. I have learned from you.

Good morning Buckin. Doing great.

I never use my pickaroon or hookaroon on split wood. Just rounds. Thanks for the great informative videos and positive attitude towards living life.

Dude, those quotes touch me way to deep, thanks man

hey buckin' , ive been a subscriber for a VERY long time but i rarely ever comment and i dont know why....but i would like to thank you for everything because i have learned oh so very much from your videos. This channel is good for my soul...living in southern california can be hard on the mind and i use your channel to escape. Thank you brother!

Inspirational ....much love & kindness from UK....you are a good man...

New on this channel. Love the videos content. You're a good guy Lol ! I'll keep on viewing. Thanks

Thanks for your videos. I just watched this one and really enjoyed it. I don't know if it would make any difference but the point on your pickaroon is very straight. The hookaroon should a curved point. It could make a difference. Using either the pickaroon or hookaroon will still be slower than just using your hands. They really seem more useful for bringing things in the front on the truck bed to the rear of the bed. I really liked the way the pulp hook worked for you. That was the first time I've seen one used. Thanks for sharing it. Thanks again for your videos.

Well this video settled it. No money spent on a pickaroon. I’m going to give the hook a go. Thanks. Love the truck

With you at the wheel steering this channel I guarantee it's going to grow and it's going to be one hell of a ride! Pease love and power saws!

Stumbled on you, and your videos are great and positive.

Oh boy, Billy has new editing software to play with...all these messages on the screen it's like I'm cracking open a visual fortune cookie. Just wish he showed what my lucky numbers are. BTW, your driver side brake light is out.

Oh you like talkin Billy , keep the videos coming.

Merry Christmas Buckin and Family!! I use a picaroon because it works for me. But I am not flicking the wood. I pick it and stack it right after it gets split. It works for me but I see how the hooks could be beneficial for other situations.

I burn 12 cords a year of hickory mostly. All cut and split by hand. I have a dump bed insert in my f350. I’ll never be without one again. I cut/split everything in the woods and I use my old Honda 200 atc with a yard cart to get the wood to my truck. Works awesome

Hi Billy over the last 25 years i have tried both the pickeroon and the log hook and i much prefer the pickeroon unlike you I don't mind stooping. I also noticed that when you load logs into the truck most times you use both hands, so not a great advantage you can get the pickeroon with an 18inch shaft, worth trying, 5 years ago i was involved in accident which broke my right femur in 4or5 places and completely smashed my hip i was 11hours on the operating table and i am lucky to be alive never mind still have a full set of limbs but it has been a long hard painful road back ,so I like to try to keep active we burn about 20tons of logs per year so it's hard going. I am 64 years old so it's not getting any easier, this was not to be a criticism of your choice of tool we each have our own ideas, keep making the posts i love them take care. J Steven Anderson Scotland (God's country)

Good show mate have a good new years 😆👍👍

I have always preferred the pulp hook. Probably because I am use to it.

i always watch your videos and i love them

I like the idea of a pickaroon for unloading firewood, I'm always having to climb up and down to unload where I could just snag them to side or back. Great advice thanks buckin!

Dude, that hooks deadly!

More cowbell! 😂😂😂😂😁😁😁😁 Oh, and Merry Christmas! 🎄

GOD bless you sir your a good man and thanks for the wonderful videos

Awesome cab stack tip.
