for real though, what a cool pops haha

his kid is what his pops is . He aint gonna give a fuck . Thats you who think if you had this dad your life would be better . Buckin's son doesnt give a fuck about his daddy being special or not . He is just living his life bru just like you and me ! Do you think your dad is special ? No . For buckins kid your dad may appear special to his eyes while in yours he aint . See what am saying ?

@@dakillah6018 yeah I see what your saying your an asshole.

@@PlymouthVT Poor choice of words

Yes, I look back on all the things my dad and I done together when he was alive and in good health. I cherish every memory of those occasions that seemed so ordinary at the time. Now, they are priceless. And Mr. Smith's son does think his dad is special! Had he not, then he'd be doing other things instead of working alongside his dad. This is clearly a show of the love and respect that a son has for his dad. 🙂

Tell that to the boys in production

He's the best

64 and doing tree climbing? liked this coment!

Its good to know the minimalist way, can sometimes save the day when you find yourself without a piece of gear because it got left at the shop.

How is mumbling true knowledge?

K

I second that, some of the best stuff I got out of this video was little things shared here and there that you wanted to make sure we noticed. I really appreciate your heart to teach. I'm benefitting from you a lot these days!

I was going to say the same. Its the little nuggets of wisdom and insight of the job that makes it so much more interesting.

oh boy! It rivals Andrew Camarata!

@@BuckinBillyRaySmith howdy Mr buckin billy ray smith ,love to see a woodman who can play off beat on a drum kit, my house full of drums ,( kit ,djembes, congas, bongos,even carved a DJEMBE out of our local timber SHEOAK, beautiful rich colour, man dig your tree work and your captions, you hit a spot in me like catching up with a long lost friend, more drumming please, can you buy macullock chainsaws in Australia? AWSOME are you buckin, love your work

are you a self taught tree climber.

GOOD MAN

Dude I would never usually tell someone what to in the tree world because that's what everyone already does. Let alone ever take time to comment on a social media page. But it drives me absolutely insane that when I was learning from all these pros and badass climbers, that they never taught me the one thing that made climbing go from feeling impossible to absolute cake. They like to let you learn on your own and struggle like any boomers really haha. But dude when you are in the tree from the first two steps all the way to transitioning to splits and moving around the tree. Put your safety strap on and PUSH AGAINST THE TREE WITH YOUR ARMS. Your natural reaction is to hug the tree. Stick that ass out and push against the tree. It's the difference between being capable of doing the tree comfortably, or being terrified and frustrated and having to come down n give up. Trust that rope brother n good luck to you.

Same! i just got job from my neighbor so i just keep practicing with the spikes until i feel comfortable

Thank you Billy. Climbed my first tree 50+ foot cypress today. You make it easiER and keep it simple. Good looks 💯 👌

@@BuckinBillyRaySmith Top of the morning to you Buckin. Its Sunday morning. ☕☕☕😊😊

Hey me too! Lol. 5 years though? Dang! Why so long? Just curious.. Not trying to sound like a d*** but I've only been a groundie for 4 months? Maybe you weren't interested initially? I was surprised to find that not.. everybody wants to be a climber lol

Jared Eberly. be safe in every tree climbing job you do. think twice every move you make. to climbing up the tree to cutting limbs to toping a tree to repelling down. be safe I'm a tree climber my self. oh and never take your gard down. see you in trees be safe man. wish you luck.

@@dylanstumbaugh356 do you want to be a tree climber.

@@dylanstumbaugh356 I work for a family business and there are two family members who usually take turns in the bucket so I have been a ground guy from age 17-22. I was waiting for my turn and now I'm stepping up and getting up in the trees

@@gunzoutnodoubt6627 thanks for the good advice. Not taking any chances. Thank you, hope everything is well

Hhhmmmmm, let me ask you this, how many total attachment points will be on the flip line?

@@jolkraeremeark6949 you could do 3 or 4. 4 would be best but you could have the prusics together if u had a little slack. I ended up going to 2 flip lines. My 12 foot steel core. And a 18 to 20 foot rope. Each with 1prusic. I found the 2 in 1 with 1 prusic kinda hard on smaller trees with no limbs to throw up in. Always holding myself while I try to slide the prusic. Just the way I like it, all kinds of ways it can b done.

@@megadosevitaminc8774 my flip line has a snap fixed to one end but not the other. I would like a snap on both ends, is that possible? The steel core flip line has a thimble on both ends but a snap hook on only one end.

@@jolkraeremeark6949 I have a snaphook on both ends. I tend to go overboard with safety sometimes. But with them on both ends you can move around to different hookups. I have even hooked both flipline together to get to another tree. That's another thing about having 2 lines, you can hook together. With a 2 in 1 if you cut 1 side then the prusic can slide right off if not careful. I have cut part way through lines a couple times. Nice to have a total separate line. I will get a video of my setup sometime. May not be useful justin like it. Mictopulleys 4 slack tending is awesome too.

@@megadosevitaminc8774 yeah, don't think I can get a snap hook on the other end of the steel core flip line.

I don't understand. How would a bad scenario play out? He was so relieved at that moment.
