That was great seeing you swinging that axe, you’re healing nicely. Hey Ewan! We love ya buddy!

Nothing better than watching an old-school guy that knows... performing an 'old-school' fell. Cheers :)

"A lot of work gets done with an axe', excellent chopping Mr. Smith...

You got the know how and the do how !!! Keep on keeping on !!!

Watch those shoulders Buckin. Seeing you drop that tree with an axe gives me a whole lot of respect for the old timers who did it day after day. Good video mate. Cheers from HB NZ

That would be cool to do a show old school. Go back to how a lot of our families started logging. Axe, crosscut and horse or mule.

Love and miss the old axe building days and please never forget your roots Billy!! Love❤️

Well done my friend. I wish you a great day.

It’s never a bad time to practice some axemanship! Thanks, Buckin’. 🪓

Great demo !

Nice hack and slachs axe work! Back too oldschool on low fuel!! Nice place for hard/smart work✊️ Greetings kristof

I’m having a glorious day and hope you are too! Love you Buckin Billy Ray. Keep up up the shine amigo.

Hard to have a bad day when uncle buck post his glowing presence

Made me smile today when i got the notification of a BBR video😊 nice chopping on that sucker! Lookin strong sir! Love from the Barth family❤

Looking at a panoramic view of standing trees somehow gives a feeling of joy, happiness, tranquility, peace and excitement... with the light of the day reflecting all the different shades of green. 💚🌲🌿🍀

Nice brother glad to see you're able to chop again getting healthier love it

I’m with the Wife on this one: shade is everything. …But I also live in TX, so maybe this is why. lol Regardless: to each their own, and I’m grateful we each love what we each prefer. Great video Buckin’ (as always). And hope you and the family are doing amazing.

Let there be 💡 once those shady hardwood are gone I’ve been watching for awhile and that’s the first I seen of you cutting one down with axe 🪓 love it . Its absolutely amazing how a axe can work as a spare saw if your jammed or out of gas . I love those white and red wedges you have there we finally got those here in Nova Scotia in my local saw shop their way better than the stihl wedges !

It's good to see some axe falling. I'm glad you took the time to go back and get that piece of timber. Can't wait to see what you do whit it.

Looks like you keep your carrying axe pretty sharp, sinks in nice ! Has a Swedish look and took that small tree down without breaking a sweat. Nice axemanship Buckin

Afternoon Buckin thanks for the old school show 👍no gas in the chainsaw Time to use the axe 🪓 👍Johno Darwin NT

Good to see it shown how viable an axe can be in modern times. I know this happens in wildland firefighting. Some have to fell a tree with an axe in the real world even in 2024.

“Happy wife, happy life”, so they say… 😊 keep up the good work

Thanks Buckin for another great Video. Liked the undercut with the Axe to avoid Barber Chair. Think im going to buy some of that DGP Bar Oil . Liked what you said about your Bars needing less Maintenance.

What a great video!! Hope to see ya again at Bunyan! Stay safe out there everyone.

Idk what to comment but ive heard it helps the algorithm so hell yeah brother

Awesome work buckin I cut one down with my axe the other day in my back yard because the baby and wife were sleeping. Worked like a charm.

Nice job Buckin

Buckin' Beaver. I doubt a beaver ever succumbed to a barberchair. They're good listeners and look up often.

I've said it many times; These videos are the ones i like the most, so interesting! Tremendous.😎👌

Ready to see the new scottie wilson saw in action. Nice axe-manship.

Been there so many times!😂

Cool Buckin chopping ❤

Well Mr buckin Billy Ray that was good video taught me how to cut down a tree with an axe it has to be nice and sharp

The old timers I told you about are all interested in your videos. They'd like to talk to you about the differences between now and 1950's/60's when they started. But they all have problems communicating after their strokes. Some like to use e-mail, some use the phone for practice talking.

Man still those pulls sound so good. 👍

Love the axe chopping ❤❤❤❤

No gas...no problem! Have axe, will travel!!!💪 Love you all...❤❤❤ Dr/Lt. Bradley

Awesome video Buckin !

Love watching you using a axe in a video

Someday im gonna get to shake your hand and give ya a hug. Your the man billy

Hopefully we’ll get to see that spalted maple once you’ve had it milled.

There's only one, Billy Ray - bless his cotton socks! 😊

In the Northern woods of Maine that's 1 way my Grandfather did it. And rode log jams down the river and couldn't swim a stroke .😊

Hello everyone I hope you are all having a great Saturday

First 🎉buckin army!!!

Whoooooooooo buddy that is one SHARP axe!!

I've taken down quite a number of trees with an axe back years ago because we didn't have a chainsaw to cut firewood and money was definitely tight so I'd cut some down and carry what I could and drag the larger piece behind myself like a horse or mule. Hard work for sure! 😂

Gute Handarbeit. Gruß aus Germany Peter 😊

PAUL BUCKIN !!!

it appears this contest will not be decided by our knowledge of the power saw, but by our skills with the timber axe

I thought you meant physically out of gas. I've been cutting down and chipping up Brazilian pepper trees in Southwest Florida for the last two weeks and I am out of gas

Looks like you keep your axe sharp.

History Hit piece on English long bow and it's story was fairly comprehensive in terms of description of the timber, metal and technology used, as well as the changes in tools and fabrication over the country's history.

Hey buddy I wanted to share some info with you. I live and grew up in logging country in Washington state in the great PNW. All through the 70's, 80's and 90's I wore Five Brother made in USA flannel and hickory shirts like most guys that worked or logged in my area. Eventually the company closed up.Then I started buying Carhartt hickory shirts and then they quit making them. I never liked the few brands left that made hickory shirts and always wished Five Brother would start up again. Well I recently discovered Five Brother is open for business with new ownership. I was excited to see they have the old style button up and quarter zip hickory shirts on the web site. Thought you might like to know this if you didn't already. I just ordered a couple and waiting to check them out. Nothing says you work hard more than a quarter zip hickory with cut off frayed sleeves!!

got a weekend of felling coming up. great motivation! getting after it.

Send the fuel truck army

Thanks a lot for new tricks in you job. I wanna ask y'all: how are you dealing with overworking and overwhelmingly physically heavy impact on your body? Because I used to get sleepless night sometime. Could you tell us some tricks as a timber when it's too hard after weeks of work, but the work should be finished in time?

G'day everyone, have a great day.

BE KIND!

Thanks.

Ima get me a shaklank shirt for sure

Take it easy on the shoulder.

IM definitely oredering a Shaklanck t shirt, a hoodie would be even better.

I’ve heard of this type of cut referred to as the “cripple cut” basically keep slowly opening and depening the face until it falls…. “Crippling” the structure of the tree. Curious on your thoughts on this technique on heavy leaners using a power saw

How many trees were chopped down with a simple axe? It's hard to imagine.

hey billy saw a mutaul friend Tom he was relling me how you and his son took care of a black wallnut a few years back

How long should a good axe handle last ? I know this is the same as asking ‘how long is a piece of string’ but I’ve burnt through 3 handles in under 12 months

Woodman!

Is it the wood bullet!? I was wondering for chopping

🎉

I've ran out of had that stinks so I started using an old sea foam can small nice and tough aluminum can I carry on my work belt aka my purse works great

I have a technical question: When you set your saws away for longtime storage, do you activate the chain brake to lessen the tension on the spring, or do you keep it in the position it is in when cutting? I probably won't have to cut again until winter, and today it suddenly dawned on me that it might be better if the chain brake is activated so that the spring is loosened. So, what's up and down here? Or does it even matter?

hey bucking! commenting again here from an older video. hope all is well! thanks for the cuts there! what sorts of wedges do you use/prefer/carry? thanks!

Hey Billy Ray... some of my students want to know why your job is important. Can you please explain to people why your job is important?

👋🏼

Hey Buckin why is there a chain in the tree behind you on your deck?

That 'ill put shoulders on ya!

cunshoulder

That’s how they did it long long time ago ,now if you need some more exercise just stay fit comes to my place with your ex. I got a bunch of oak and cedar help yourself.🤣😎👍

Hey Buckin I work for a tree service. This past weekend we cut and pushed a lot of trees with an excavator. You mentioned something about this is how you did it when logging with excavators. Could you explain that in depth a little bit more. I think I understand what you mean just want to make sure. Thank you. 🪓 🪓
