    Buckinā€™, you are a great example for humankind. Iā€™m almost 62, but I want to be more like you when I grow up. Love your channel!
  • I was wondering why there were so many ants around the base of my pine trees. You literally saved my life from the lack of knowing about how ants could be processing the tree, from the inside. Thank you Buckin! Perfect timing!

    The way you line up your face cuts my friendā€¦itā€™s a thing of beauty. One day Iā€™ll be there, thanks for all you do Buckinā€™. Impacting people in a positive way more than you could imagine. Take care!
  • The take away from today: "You can't get to excited by all these funky cuts and guys who triple ozone layer this and that" Buckin you do have a way with words as you most certainly do have a way with trees! I had quite the laugh and that was a first for today! šŸ¤™šŸ˜ŽšŸŒ²šŸŒ³šŸ™

    I would like to say something to everyone that watches this channel. This man works harder than any other YouTube creator that I know of. On top of that, he does it with good intentions. He isnā€™t trying to get rich. He is trying to help people, and make the world a better place. I know this to be true because he hasnā€™t sold out to a bunch of sponsors. I donā€™t think that there is anything wrong with accepting sponsorships at all, as long as they are companies that have good products and integrity. Buckin is so serious about this that he has passed up many opportunities just to make sure that his love and integrity remains unquestionable. I respect that a lotā€¦ We receive so much from his work, and he doesnā€™t even charge us for itā€¦ After watching him for 6 or 7 years now, I am certain that he is deserving of way more than he is getting. I would like for us to get together and start paying the man. Itā€™s only right. All of us chipping in through donating on his website, or super thanks on YouTube, would change his life. I fully believe that we owe this man for his workā€¦. I donā€™t know how this will go over, but I donā€™t care. I want to see Buckin and his family get all that they deserveā€¦. Itā€™s the least I can do. Thank you all in advance! I know that I am writing this to a bunch of great people!
  • I have a dead ash tree way too close to my home and have been cutting it little by little a few months ago it took my front steps and a railing so decided to remove limbs for weight and yesterday cutting the stump of the fallen piece it was full of carpenter ant really bad! Thanks for the informative videos I have been watchin for days now on free time learning tons of tips and do nots! I appreciate your knowledge and passing it to folks like myself!

    The gold standard of content on YouTube. We should all aspire to be as diligent and as knowledgeable in our respective fields.
  • @zeke1eod
    LMAO not enough jam in the universe to make it happen šŸ˜‚! As always you make it look effortless, if you get bored and want to cut some southern wood I have 30ish acres to cut for our sawmill here in east Tennessee, I'll put you up, feed ya deer meat, and show ya the sites! Stay safe and God bless
  • @tome.joyner887
    I have watched a lot of guys cutting down trees on YouTube Buckin. No one goes out everyday and gives a blow by blow tutorial on every type of tree with a rational explanation for every cut and every wedge driven. That is why we love you Billy Ray!
  • Your continual message to be good to others is like a spiritual drumbeat hopefully everyone eventually catches on! Good to see a guy like you delivering the message. Thanks

    You are one of the truest, coolest dudes I've ever come across.

    I lived and worked at a remote sawmill in the late 70's, early 80's. We mainly handled (Australian) mountain ash, which grow up to 300 ft tall and up to 14ft in diameter, we got up to 70 tons of timber from a single tree. Every one of them had a "heart", which is the rotten ant infested core, hearts were roughly a meter (3ft) in width. the lowest 15-20 ft of the trunk was filled with a soft, red clay like substance left by the termites (ants). Ocassionally we got a log with ants still living in it, the nest woud fall out and a couple of yards of clay and ants would land on the floor and bring the mill to a halt while we shovelled it into a trailer. PS: Nice job with the chainsaw, and I loved the goodwill message at the end. :)
  • @justmejo9008

  • @Scharpy1
    New to the channel. Still learning yet. Love it. Stopped at 14:10 to see the cool saw holder. Hey!!! You've got MY identcal (same wear and all) two-stroke gas tank I inherited from my dad. Mixed quite a few batches in there, still a relative novice though at 71. Thank you for posting!!!
  • Watching buckin line his cuts up is like watching a master artist line up there lines when drawing heā€™s just a beast at this work
  • @ryerob741
