Back in the 1990's, my father, in his mid-70's went through every tree on his 100' x 60' foot lot in suburbia (about 20 trees total), climbing 30-40 feet up (with a self-made rope harness) and topped (from the top down, one branch at a time, lowering each branch with a rope) every one down to 15 feet or less, because he was worried that my mom would have to deal with them after he was no longer physically able to. Most of them he cut down using a bow saw as much as possible. After he died, a storm (hurricane or tropical storm) went through causing massive tree fall damage throughout the suburbia... but not his home.

You can see how proud buckin is of his boy in his eyes while he’s talkin to us friends!!!! Really good stuff!!!!! 👍🏻

Ya know... I was just thinkin’... how few people get to experience the world looking down from the tip top of a big ole’ tall fir tree!... You guys are blessed! Thanks givin’ us a glimpse!

Hogan's confidence and experience is showing through now. Fine climb and job to both of you. Way to rock it brothers 💪

Hogan has come such a long way. His movement as a climber is so much more confident than when you posted the video of him sending his first top. I love it.

I love the relationship between you and you're son, i have a two-year boy we will have a good relationship like this. Very inspiring.

You guys are awesome and truly blessed. What a day, climbing trees side by side. I would have loved to share that with my dad. :)

That axe throw was clutch!

I enjoy your videos. My grandpa ran some of those old saws when I was a kid. Great to see you passing your knowledge to your son. Nice message you convey. 👍🤘🌲

I really like the way you talk and work with your son .its really great to bond with your son and these memories are going to stick with him all his life time even he’s going to pass it on to your grand kids who knows . You one of the best tree climbers I watched on you tube . Crazy a little but got a big heart and very respectful to others .keep up the great work . Thanks for these precious videos.

Being a person who is terrified of heights I must say watching you is a good work out for my heart and an exercise in finding out how long I can hold my breath. Great videos guys. Thanks. Al

Excellent work I don't know how many times i have had to tell people no i wont top. You guys are great stay safe and have fun.

excellent timing y'all buckin it take a bit of time to get the hang of two lanyards been teaching two young guys both just 24 yrs old there loving tree work !

That axe throw was like russel Crowe in Gladiator... “ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?”

What a wonderous day for working in the sails of the trees! Glad you boys love that height ! Love to all!!!

Really enjoy the tree top views and putting us right up there with you guys. Nice editing and nice work. Thanks for educating us on tree maintenance so we can identify hazards and keep our own properties safer. Keep up the good work & keep enjoying what you do. Not everyone knows how to enjoy life, love themselves, and have extra in their bank to love others. We're proud to be living the Buckin' life right along with you!

So awesome to see you learning new techniques and trying new gear.

We need more ppl like you in the world. I am a novice climber and you give me so much inspiration.

you and hogan are a great team billy...love watching your skills in the trees

U R the man glad there is someone who knows how to take care and not ruin a tree! I live in east Tennessee and had my walnut tree work on I drew a picture of how I wanted it done! When I came out he had cut every limb left about 3 foot on the trunk!!! Can you picture that a large walnut with limbs 3 feet long he did the whole tree like that! It makes me mad every time I come home or walk out the door later B.B. A FAN! 😎💨

Thanks for the great climbing video, BBRS & Hogan, perfect day you had for that job!

Love these style of vids, it’s what inspired me to spend a bit on tree gear and learn in the back yard 👌

Thank you for sharing. I live in North Carolina USA. You guys did an awesome job!!! Good for you to find something you love and sharing that Joy with your son... New subcriber!!

Fantastic job boys, just wonderful. Great to see father and son working so well together. Look at that view from the tree tops. Hogan so at ease in that tree top!! Squeaky bum time haha. Love and kindness to one and all. ❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧Graham

Billy, you are one cool dude! You’ve got great energy. You live life like every day could be your last. And you make the most of it. My dad owned/operated a dental lab. So after high school a got a job at another lab to learn his trade, in hopes to someday work with him and follow in his footsteps. He passed away when I was 28. I didn’t know enough to run his business and I didn’t know much about him as well. So that died with him. When I see you work with your son, you really share your insight to the trade. You look out for him and prepare him for surviving on his own. When you’re gone he will have known who his father is/was and you will be there in his thoughts every time he reaches the top and stops to take it all in. That is really special. You are the best kind of father there is. (IMHO) Heck, I’m learning who I want to become.

That’s amazing watching you and your boy climb right along each other, that’s gotta make you so proud of him. Good job Hogan, you’re a natural bud.

I love your wonderful videos neighbor . You live close to Washington State . Got a good fire going in my wood stove , keeping my wonderful wife a little warm and toasty . I got wood that will last me for two years or more . I wanna design a wood shed like yours . It’s a good design 👍🏻👍🏻 keep on posting my brother !!!

Great video with you and your son side by side. Nice view at the top!

Phenomenal entertainment. You guys know your stuff. Your enthusiasm is contagious.

Nice work...love seeing the two of you climbing side by side.

Love♡ watching this as long as I don't look down!⬇️ Thanks for the video!👍

I gotta say man, you’re the kinda guy who’s never worked a day in his life. Not saying that you don’t work, but I believe in the old saying that “if you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life”. I’ve only seen a handful of your videos so far, and that’s the exact kinda person you seem like. Keep up the good work man, the world could use more people like you.

Great video, neat with you guys side by side. Great with Hogan having a camera also. Trees look great. Thanks.✊

I love the relationship You have with your son. Seems like you guys are cool friends.

Dude the saw holder in your truck there is brilliant what the he’ll I’m I thinking just throwing my saws in the truck

LOL, that intro! Awesome that you and Hogan have a great relationship! Always love to watch your videos!

Reminds me of the last time I was at Wrigley field watching the Cubs. Way up in the nose bleed seats. What a view!

Man i wish everyone in this world was as passionate about what they do as you are.

Great video guys! That throw in the intro... Impressive sir.

Jim's Lawn and Tree great footage on your video gave me a couple of ideas on trim job I have coming up !!!

I've been wondering when we'd start to see gange cam up in a tree. He's come a long way and following in your footsteps quite well buckin. Keep up the good work, be kind!

Looking good , the trees look great!

Great intro and message, you are inspirational my friend. thank you. and love the view all the way over here in PA love yinz

Really love the side by side climbs! Pretty neato skeeto!😎

The trees look amazing! Let’s get the thumbs up 👍🏻 Army

Keep up the good work wood man!! Found your channel by accident.I was trying to find out some stuff about a stihl chainsaw i have and found you .lol .life is good and god is great god bless you!! Life is what we make it!! Live laugh and love!!

I'm very impressed with the reverse ax throwing. That could be part of a Viking weapons competition.

Best intro I have ever seen for any video ever created, LOVE IT

Keep it up buckin billy , your an inspiration to me for sure God bless you mate. Be safe.

Loved the Video Buckin . You and Hogan done a splendid job. Liked when you used the scare strap to get that hanger out.

Just tuned in and then subscribed... Love the attitude... Love the learning experience.

Hi Bucking just now watching this video. I never believed in topping a tree. My main point is watching you climb & cut. Here in Northern Mississippi, USA it’s very hard to find a climber willing to climb 80’ to prune a tree. If you find such a person the price is so high your willing to gamble that the wind won’t blow the tree down on your house. So God bless you and your boy

Smooth retrieval of that hanger Buckin' that was a boss move sir!

I love how you replaced the word "would" with "wood". Thank you

Love the sound of that old Mercury. 👍🏽

Maybe 2 different color ropes would help with which one is which. Love seeing you and Hogan working together. Love it

Fascinating, seems it's the arborist vs lumberjack approach, and save a tree when you can, thanks.

you and your son make a great team together! Love those little echos.

Brilliant, I never knew spiral thinning was a thing until today! 👍

I just wanted to say I love the doublehead cam boys great job keep up the good work your videos are so entertaining

Awesome Buckin' I just knew you would love it! Yall STAY SAFE

Love the intro! Welcome to the new subscribers! It is fun here!

I went to go buy the weaver suspender set up you’ve been rockin when fallin’ and they’re all sold out! I can’t wait to get mine

I love how gangies wants to cut it to a stick in the air lol "I'm going to take that one that one that one, and buckin is saying no not that one nope not that one either" i guess knowing what to do comes with time. Always good to learn something new, especially when you're the young guy, listen to your elders and one day you will be the elder passing on the knowledge. Keep it up guys I love watching you I'm not a logger or anything but I still love you're videos and your message "positivity and love" everyone should watch and listen and spread the love. Thank you.

Just found out I got my first baby boy on the way...hope we can bond like you all everyday...lovely friends!

can't believe it you threw the axle backwards and on target! Ha ha ha hah ! I was laughing outloud! You're an amazing guy! We need more like you! Blessings and thank you for entertaining me. RR from New Fairfield CT.

I’ve seen you guys climb a lot of trees man you guys were up there that is cool stay true my brother

I agree ehcos are a,pretty decent 2 stroke Great job those trees Buckin and Hogan!

Nice working side by side where you can talk to each other. Nice job

nice to see you 2 working together

Nice spruning! I feel like this type of pruning saves a lot of unnecessary removals of perfectly good trees, if nothing else but to give the customer peace of mind. I prefer just using my rope to advance, two times in my career I realized I was not attached to the tree in this situation of advancing around limbs and constantly connecting and disconnecting my biners so be aware of that danger. Also, I toss my brush like you but learned the hard way not to hold the branch so close to striking distance of the saw when my saw chattered off a petrified piece of dead wood and I nearly lost my finger.

I've never seen this video Buckin, thought I'd seen them all. Great job guys, although I got a bit dizzy from the shots of the roof every time you panned down. Lol, when I was a kid I remember climbing trees to the top, 50,60 feet blowing in the breeze, now my knees go wiggly on the first step on a ladder, for real

Buckin your bringing that boy up right. I bet your a proud papa. I know anytime I have to go up in a tree I start seizing up when I'm over 20 feet off the ground! I really need to practice more.

Beautiful work guys!

this is the best channel for me in terms of information, entertainment and inspiration thank you for upload this, I am a beginner and I learn a lot with you guys, wish you the best, um forte abraço amigo e um exelente dia trabalho.

Hola my friend! Hope your keepin your stick on thee ice!? I've fallowed you and your channel for a while now! I myself have just staryed climbing; i was a groundsman for a few years. I know alot of established tree caterers have different "laws", "rules" & regulations. I want to know why specifically i was tought not to use spurs/spikes unless i remove a tree!? I live in Washington. Yes you might have touched on this one specific question throughout your longevity in your channel. I yet have had any reaction specific to my question and also fully got a well rounded grasp on how individual specimens of trees?, shrubs, etc react to different types of topping/pruning/ xcrown cleaning/ dead wooding and so on. Any insight you have im very open too!!!! Thank you for your time if you do have it to spare to respond! All the work you do is a inspiration as well as conformation for a slu of previous jobs I've put gas oil sweat blood and tears into

The world would be a better place Buckin if more sons had a father like you, great video you guys & cool 😎 axe throw stay safe👍

Awesome video. Looked like a wonderful day and you get to be with your boy all day that's what it's all about. Keep the videos coming

Love watching You 2 Climbing & Thinning 2-gether ! Great Job & Lovely Views From Up High ! Sun Shining & Blue Skies, Hard to Beat that, Friends ! Love To All From The East Coast ! ATB T God Bless

Great video, that intro was gold!

Whoops! Forgot to undo the zoom! Lol! Closeup Buckin for a few!

Wife and I were Looking-for you at the Paul Bunyan show, I believe you could have been a great Asset!👍🏼

FLAT TOP my Trees 🌲 Billy Ray 🙀 that lichen on the trees creates available nitrogen, pretty neat !!

that intro was beautiful buckin,love it

Wow, totally beautiful footage!

These videos are fascinating to watch great chemistry between father and son but man do they make my stomach twist up that is high.

I used a single leather belt in my younger years and that was a long time ago. My winter intertainment should be complete between the Morgans and you. Should finish splitting fire wood this weekend

Father and son. It dont get any better than that! Are you lovin that Echo Buckin? Mines still going like a little pocket rocket.😎

Buy your safeties in different colors it will help. Here in the States Osha requires the two safety lanyards and a cinch on one so you can not slip more than 2 feet. Buckingham has a Tree Squeeze that is for climbing spares Lupillo Santiago uses it on palm trees and loves it. Check out his video's they are mostly in Spanish but you will understand what he is doing. Forestry Supply has the best deal on them I am not sure it would work for you but on palms it does the job. Lupillo Santiago is the Rock Star of tree men in San Diego. Santiago set a good example for the the tree industry.

Thanks for the video Buckin.

GET A 1WEEK TIME LAPS OF THE SAILS THAT WOULD SHOW PROPER PRUNING THE CLOCK WORKS ARE THE BEST I HAVE SEEN IN A VERY LONG TIME WELL DONE THE YOUNG MAN IS A NATURAL TELL HOGAN HELLO JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN

Hey guys! :) I'm a new guy around here, love the videos and the mentality Billy Ray, keep doin' what you already great at, bring love and peace to the peoples heart. Some time in the future, I have to go to your place to talk with ya and pick up a nice axe or two and to get an old Mcculloch saw from Canada. Here in Hungary it's nearly impossible to get these old school american and canadian stuff. But I'm gona do it I promiss! ;)

I love my Echo trim saw. It’s an older CS330T. Plenty of power. Just wish I hadn’t accidentally ripped the handles off of it.

You certainly rocked the intro and I didn't notice a pause in the video. Must have being practicing since buckingstock.. loved the video from start to finish. One question are you not worried that the top may snap off must have only 3". Stay safe... turned out fabulous.

I need more of you in my life.
