I dont know many Fathers who get to hang out 60 ft up a tree with their son! Lucky man you are!

It is absolutely awesome to see you passing your skills to your son! My dad and I share riding Harley’s and dirt bikes, he taught me what I know and it’s an experience that will last more than a lifetime!

Man, I may have said this before, but I love that you are teaching your boy how to climb and rig old school. I started out the same way years ago and I can tell you right now, as advanced as I've gotten, nothing trumps that very fundamental knowledge. Equipment and rigging systems fail, like you said, and it typically fails at the most inconvenient moments. Bravo, sir, bravo. I love this channel.

Great job!!

Great job Buckin loved the video, my son is 14 and lives with his mom but stays with me on weekends and summer. He worked with me all summer dragging brush, loading wood. He would even get me up early so we could lift weights before work. We had so much fun. The last day of summer break we both got a little misty eyed. Thank you for sharing this..!

Like father like son. You have the makings for a great arborist there Buckin, he's a hard worker, he don't mind getting his hands sticky with pitch, And he has the Buckin blood line flowing threw his veins. I can tell you are a proud dad and have every right to be. Great job on teaching him

great work! both of you....

Way to go Hogan, Nice job..Friend's have a wonderful week and Take care out there..

Good stuff brother!!

I can't think of a more pure and simple pleasure in life as a father than working side by side with your boy and teaching him how to do a good job. Proud moment as a dad for sure.

Great job

Climbing is in his blood for sure Buckin. New climbers struggle with trusting your gear and being at height. He seems really level headed, willing to listen and learn and confident in himself. Also pretty fearless or crazy like most tree guys.

Looks like he's a natural Buckin. No problems trusting his equipment either. Of course he's got a great teacher and that always helps.

Great work dudes!

Great job Hogan! These are the days you will cherish in the future as you look back and reflect. When I was about your age, I worked in the woods for a gypo loggin' outfit and had the privilege to set chokers behind a cat skinner who just happened to be my Dad. He was a great teacher and would have fit in well in the Army of Kindness. Most of my time, however, was spent chasin' on the landing wrestling powersaw and swingin' an axe. I chose a different career path but those days are etched deeply into my memory. Buckin', I'm sure you are building cherished memories of yourself and Hogan as well. There can be no greater joy than to watch a child grow and mature into something special. Be kind!

Hey Hogan Way to go young man. You did an AWESOME job topping that tree. Keep practicing and listening to your pop and you'll be well on your way to being a great tree faller, just like your old man. Hey Buckin', I know you're beaming with pride, my friend. I could see it in your face. Watching Hogan grow over the last couple of years has been a real joy. People like yourself who have a son or daughter that wants to follow in their parents footsteps are truly blessed indeed. I followed in my dads footsteps as an electrical engineer and even though he's been gone for a couple of years now, I am reunited with him every time I see an old set of drawings with his initials or his name on them. Good evening to the True Blues and welcome to the new subscribers. Pop into the comment section and say hello. Blessings and love to all.

This truly makes me happy!!! My father has taught me everything I know in the garage, I'm forever grateful. Now I'm getting to show him some tree work in return. LOVE, PATIENCE and KINDNESS

Oh man...Billy, wonderful sight to see. Father and son....beautiful !!!! Love wins every time ...❤❤❤ Be kind to each other folks 👍

That was awesome. Hats off dad!! He’ll never forget it.

Love to all the buckin family. Hogan im very happy to see you working with your dad and wanting to learn👍cant wait to see your new axe head on a handle eh hehe hope you enjoy love ya

No fancy gear for you boys. Old truck .old saws. And the old rope. Good job Hogan. The leadburn logger Scotland.

My 7 year old son watched this video with me. He was really intrigued and wants to see more of this which makes me happy. 😁

I loved the comment that you would teach him what you know, and then he can do what he wants from there. I think that’s what we all want, is to be taught and then have the opportunity to use our agency of choice with what suits us. Thanks so much for bringing back the bonding moments of me and my dad in a similar teaching environment. Love goes out to the Bucking Soldiers of Kindness!

Priceless.

I don't know anything that I love more than watching an expert arborist in action. Felling big trees is an art and a talent. It is so great that your' son is trailing along and learning from you. He is a lucky young man able to work side by side with his Dad. I'm sure he appreciates your' patience and the great way you teach him the right way to do what you both do so well and most of all "together". I can't emphasize the togetherness enough. You are fortunate to have each other. Great job Hogan and Billy, keep it up.

Every second he’s in that tree is a memory he will tell his grandkids. 👍 Buckin.

U a awesome teacher u was able to keep him calm with your good attitude and encouragement tell him I thought he did a awesome job

I can see Hogan getting better with each job. He's maturing and listening to you so much more than a year ago. You both are doing great!

1st off love the Hogan view , Buckin that was great teaching an technical hands on learning . No place to learn than real environment absolutely loved it when Hogan lost his hat at that moment I can all most be his hart sank to his feet . Hope the go pro is ok . Love peace an kindness to all the new subs an all the true blues , Till next time in the tree tops HAVE A BLESSED DAY! an keep the chain oiled an sharp

Welcome to the new subscribers ....Truly wonderful stuff mate, no doubt your chest must be thumping with pride....great work Hogan...hope everyone is having a fantastic week.... love to all , be kind , love♥️ n hugs🐨 for mamma buckin......😎👍🇦🇺👍

Nice to see ya passing on what you’ve learned to your son!

Well done Hogan!

Unsure where to start with this comment, as awesome aint anywhere near enough!! Natural, raw, genuine and sound teaching!!! Hogan , power and love to you fella!! Father, son quality times. So friggin happy for you both! Respect,learn and know your craft and the trees,and ye will be grand. Much best wishes . Blair

The Skinny Lil Bugger is the spittin’ image of his dad! Awesome video, Buckin!

Your teaching you son good buckin he is one hell of a worker good job Hogan 😀😀😀👍👍👍👍🌲👍👍👍🌲

Nice job there with ya boy he will become a great sawman thats for sure keep up the great work and stay safe friends😁👍🌳❤

Great job Hogan! I love watching your dad teach you, I am learning right along with you. And once again I am impressed with your aim to hit (or miss in this case) your chosen target Buckin’. Lol 🎯

Awesome job Hogan! Great to see this skilled craft get passed on for the next generation! Love it.

Buckin, I bet it’s an amazing feeling to know that yer boy Hogan wants to walk in your footsteps. And then to have the opportunity to be the one teaching him! Such love!

Nice bill. Hard to keep ones cool and not become a drill sergeant when life and death and loved ones are concerned. You kept your cool and instructed him properly. The young man did excellent listening to instruction. Remember this one the rest of your lives. The old saying goes (practicing makes perfect) true, but( perfect practicing makes perfection) . Excellent job men.

True about yesterday's live feed. Lots of love. 🌞🌴🇦🇺❤❤❤

Awesome . Teaching him old school rigging. That's how I learn

Well done hogan on your first topping

Awesome man! Grew up working with my Dad in the floor covering business, from 8 to 18 when we weren't in school. Now that he's gone, they're some of my most treasured memories. Spring boarded me into the construction trades where I then honed in on Cabinet and furniture making. He was always self employed and parted that gift onto me.

Greatest thing in my life, buckin’, was partnering with my dad and strip sawin together....working side by side and learning from him was something I and he will remember forever. Discussion on scenarios and us both learning different things was amazing, truly a memory I cherish. The woods provide all we need and these memories for you are something I know you’ll hold dear to you forever! Congrats! Keep it up Hogan!

That is awesome buddy well done to Hogan you must be so proud Buckin. The next generation of yours getting into tree work. I still work with my Dad learned from him and my Grandfather I be the 3rd generation in our family in tree work. I still remember the smile on there faces when i dropped my first. Be safe and best wishes from me and mine over in Ireland going forward from here guys . Love your channel Buckin.

I wish the Longleaf pines of NC had tiny limbs like that. I go up the tree dropping tree trunks the whole way up. 8 to 10 inches thick. My ground crew always comment on they think I am cutting a tiny limb until it comes down and hits the ground.

Much respect for taking the time to teach your son the trade ... it is a joy to watch!!! =)

Love seeing your boy climb bringing up the new tree men and great accuracy on that turf lay

First thing, couldn’t agree with Buckin more. You should be able to do the job with nothing but a rope and saw. From there your style should develop. I am glad to see you in saw pants and good belts and straps, it’s been a long time coming for me, I am liking the saw protection as my skills age! So excited for Hogan! You were flat landing them logs like a pro, good sign bro. You’ve got a good teacher yer Dad there 😉 keep the old school skills alive Buckin and Be Well All!

What a great pair if trees for teaching. Good old rope burn.. love it. Maybet Hogan needs the mechanics gloves to climb in. 🌞🌴🇦🇺❤❤❤❤

Hey Buckin that's awesome mate. Hogan is really lucky to have such a great father! You both should be proud👍

Great job, Hogan! Respect!

Great job Hogan!! Catching on really quick!!! Great job guys

Congratulations Hogan great job young man.and what a teacher you have awesome video Billy . Welcome New freinds joining us your truly welcome.Hi true blues. Regards from across the pond

Go Hogan!! Darned fine job there , young man! A little rope burn just adds some small battle scars :) Nice to see you two side by side, you are lucky to have a great mentor teaching you the tricks of the trade. All the best to you folks out there :)

Great stuff Bucking and Hogan. mighty work. Greetings and fellowship from Ireland

That is pure awesomeness! Buckin and baby buckin.... the dynamic duo lol

That’s awesome buckin! That’s a fine boy you have there! Great job Hogan keep up the good work buddy! Love to you and the family❤️

The farmer family loves ya Buckin!

I like all those old skool tricks. Gotta find me a mentor. It's a great thing that you and your son enjoy this so much. Best of luck with it.

that was really great job

Hogan, it is truly amazing to me to watch a young man like yourself want to learn this trade. So many your age want nothing to do with any career that involves manual labor. I applaud you for not only being willing, but also succeeding. You have one of the best in the business teaching you, learn all you can. Buckin you are a lucky lucky man. A job well done by you both. Might have to change the name on the side of the truck to Buckin Billy Ray and son tree service. Lol

Nice job Hogan ! You got a great teacher. Don’t get in a hurry, and stay safe!

Great job Hogan congratulations you did fine work.

Wow I'm impressed hogan good job man even how much your sawmanship has changed in even past month or so and Buckin I like the way you teach it is very clear and easy to understand what an awesome memory

Nice work Hogan!!! You are really fortunate to have someone to teach you these things. I had to learn on my own, and I would have loved to have someone like your dad up there showing me how to do things so that I didn’t have to just learn from my mistakes.

"Natural crotch rigging" is nothing more than the basic fundamentals of tree work. If you can't rig with just a rope then you don't have the basic fundamentals of what my father called "Ropeology" and shouldn't be ringing anything down at all. No amount of gear and gadgets is going to make anybody a better tree man. That stuff may just make our life easier after we have the fundamentals down in my opinion. But I'm very much an old dog just now learning new tricks. It's a beautiful thing to watch your son learning these things from you. These lessons will be with him his entire career and are priceless! God bless y'all

Great teaching video Buckin! This was by far a video that someone doing a search will be happy to watch. I want to share this video with my teenage grandson to see if he would be interested in tree felling. Thank you for taking the extra time to teach on the job and video it for others to see. Hope you and the family have a great day! Welcome new subscribers! Remember to be kind to others.

Awesome work hogan. I’ve never worked with your dad but I have learned so much from watching and listening to him. Take care all and be safe

Excellent job Hogan!! Hey Buckin that is all your hard work teaching your boy and you should be beyond proud!! Phenomenal family values you have, great man... much love to you all, stay safe and God bless

Ya hogan ahwooooo 👍 buckin just awesome love it. my boy 6 can't wait the moments like that but no rush ahwooooo brother

I've been watching since day one and starting Jan 1st I am being trained to be an arborist!I love watching these vids because I will be in Hogan's shoes very soon ,I can feel the adrenaline just watching this video knowing that will be me!!!he's doing a great job and has an awesome teacher at that!!!

The young 'feller' is coming along nicely. It's great that you two are spending quality time together, and teaching/learning in the process. :-) Charlie

Hogan you did a great job and I do really mean that love from down town hehehe 👍Buckin 👍😎👊

My Dad was a Printing Pressman and took that in High School and I did work with My Dad for 3 years and He showed Me how to setup and Run a Large Printing Press when I was 18. The Guy doing My job on the 2nd Shift was 40 and no one showed Him anything ever. I went in the Navy and repair Radars and Radios to the component level. Good Mentor's in anything are hard to find. Safety can never get too old to to repeat it again. We had to pass pole Climbing Class at the Phone Company and climbing with spikes is intimidating and We never went up more than 25 feet. I was 45 years old when I took that class and cutting out and free sliding down a pole that has been used for training was like a bunch of branch stubs. I did another 20 years with the phone company and My climber never left the box after Pole Climbing School. I am in total respect for You Men that climb and cut those trees. The View You share with Your cameras are Fantastic Ken in Florida

Hogans definitely a lucky young man... Hats off to you my friend for teaching him the right way.Your a Hell of a guy there Buckin...much love to the both of ya

Great work Hogan! Wonderful Video Gentlemen! Thank you! 💚🌲💚🌲💚👍💚🌲🌲💚🌲💚

Great job, Hogan! Fun to watch you and your Dad cuttin' together. All you need now is to become a bit of a ham for the cameras (Like ol' Buckin') Hehehe

That was an incredible sight...Dad and Son working together high up in the tree. Can't wait to show my boys the "Ropes"!!!

My son just came home from school about a half an hour ago I’m sitting here in the garage sharpening chains!!

Sir! I am a fan! I live you and your son! He will remember you and your positive spirit forever!!! I love it!
