I'm here for the positive reminder to be a better person, especially with the toxic work culture that's around my ways. Your video about your dad and you got me talking to my old man again. You have taught me so much about how to run my saws properly, file, saw care etc. I come to this channel to learn, laugh and connect. Thanks for all that you do buckin, love ya Buddy.
I reunited with my father in my early thirties, we we’re forming a relationship after a 4 or 5 years and then he committed suicide, I wish you the best with your father.
Im here to see the absolute beauty of the areas you work. I love working on and using power saws! The two-stroke smoke, calmness and the serenity of the woods. Im a Veteran and there isn't a better place to relax and unwind. Best medicine for those suffering from PTSD or anything for that matter. That's why i. here BBR!
I'm here and watching because i never had a father.... well I do have a dad but we didn't have a relationship and he never tough me one thing in life other then to drink his life away. To this day he is still the same.... I look up to you as a father figure that can teach me everything my dad was supposed to teach me. I don't even no you other then CZcams but I take your advice and use it daily! Keep on keeping on buckin!!!
I’m here because I grew up helping my dad cut and put up enough wood to heat through a Michigan winter. Have been running a saw since I was 12. Now I’m in my late 40s and gentrified… I only pick up a saw a couple times a year to help pops clear downed trees around his house. I’ve stayed for the message. In a world of fake people you are one of the most genuine. I grew up surrounded by men like you. Humble, hard working, sleeveless flannels, a shed full of Mcculloch saws and heartfelt talk next to the wood stove.
First reason I am here is respect. Second reason is you have taught me so much. I have been a heavy machine plant fitter, a factory metal machinist, a welder, a woodworker/jig maker/re-designer for when the factory got it wrong. They called me a legend The last reason is I bought my first chain saw within the last 6 months at age 70 and I realize that all of the above was a waste of parts of my life. Not really because I can rebuild them as easy as cooking the dinner but you get the idea. I love what you do You inspire me and have taught me so much through the last 3 months or so. So I am here to say thank you so much. You are a Legend
I am now self employed with chainsaw in my hands everyday providing for my family and you SR helped spark the today mentality that one day I left the woods to go to the woods for my self thank you Buckin Billy Ray for being you and spreading the message of love
@@everlysuniquetimbersawshop Man it has been life changing I loved logging as a job but before sun up till after dark and no time for my family was my life now i can take a day with the kids and wife God Bless yall and keep your head up
@@joescabinbuild honestly it can be a rough start my house and cars are paid off so just give a good try after you regular 9 to 5 and try to establish from there but if your willing to dive in it can be extremely rewording good luck and God Bless keep me posted
Why am I here? You asked I will tell ya straight up. No B.S. That and I am an ole school like you. 54 The first big saw I ran was a hussy 1100 or 2100 dont know. We used a short bar to cut fire wood. Later on she went to a local saw shop in the80's and reached her sustainable potenttial. was a lot older and bigger fella the and even thogh she was a little fat I fell in love. That waz after my DAD went into the sawmill buisnes. I have always loved to run equiptment or anything that we, meaning it and me could do. You know what I am talking about. My lower unit, from L4 down doesnt wana play well. So I have gained so much motivation and info to get off my ars and do better. Passion. You speak andteach things that no other does. Old school truth with love and hope knowing that the yuongens will take hold and dig in and be what they are designed to be according to whats in their heart. Yes I busted up a bit, but I aint dead yet. You have helped me in more ways than you know.!!!
Buckin it is amazing you were able to visit ripsaw in johnstown my entire family is from there !! now im located south central PA. Been watching the channel for years !! Amazing
I’m here to learn the art of cutting trees down safely and keeping the woods clean and healthy and to learn from such a positive person! I love your channel!
Why am I here? I am here because you inspire me to be a better man. I try to live my life to be a good and kind person. I am 65 years old and I want to be better. You are a inspiration to me, how people should live their lives. If we can all do some good on this earth while we are here, then the world will be a better place. If we all do just a little, to make the world better, then as a whole, we can accomplish many great things. I also like to run chainsaws, I cut firewood for my cabin!!!
I came here to learn about filing. I've learned so much more it's hard to put into words. I'm starting because I love to see the joy in your face when that saw is cutting just right or an axe is splitting like a Wood Bullet. Your joy puts a smile on my face after a long day. Keep doing what you're doing Buckin'. I'm here... for you
I’m here for the message and education in cutting ! Like what works and what don’t … I’ve learned a lot and cut over 30 70foot trees with success so far .. many more to cut but ur inspiration
As a team member for several years I have seen the channel grow to the point when Buckin dose a job for free it makes all of us feel good knowing we had a small part in making it happen. Buckin’s and our passion together is making a difference. It is a good feeling to be kind. 👍♥️
two more thank you emails just came through. from Covenant house ,(homeless youth), i know why yer here ol' Boy , love ya Marto. yer truck s not bad either
I am here cuz your kind. I am a veteran and served Canada ion the Balkans and Afghanistan You bring the calm that brings something that calms the PTSD and reminds why Canada is so great and a guy like you is what we stand for. Be kind and gentle
If only people could have come out and showed our support. I'm about 2hrs. southeast in central Maryland, Retired and would have loved the opportunity, even to just say hi and shake your hand.
I started working in the woods when I was 12 years old. I still do it from time to time. I enjoy seeing somebody that knows some things that I don’t and learning. coming at you from Nova Scotia Canada.
I’m here because I noticed a yellow McCulloch chainsaw on your channel, exactly like the one I used as a kid growing up in northern BC. cutting firewood. I thought “ this guy must be from BC and I bet he’s the real thing, a real logger.” So I clicked on the window. It was more than that though, more than just cutting trees. There was this guy with a spiritual side to him saying “friends work hard, be kind, tell the truth.” I’m taking your advice, and I watch episodes frequently. Thanks for the positive message.
I'm here because I love to see hard honest work. I love to see the authenticity and passion. I love to see people dedicated to their craft. On top of that, your message of love takes it from 10 to 100.
I came here when you only ran the yellow saw,s you and then the old timers that you learned from you put them on and wisdom was the proof that your a real person and are kind enough two help others was relating to my life I blew my back out and can’t hold a saw any more and am still hear for you take me to what I miss the most the woods that’s why iam here .. your awesome in every way buckin your good people .. o and the sound of the saws .amazingly brings a smile on my face brother your awsome man that’s all there is to it thank you and be safe ..
I’m here to learn about chainsaws. My dad passed away about a year ago and it’s one of the very few things he never really taught me how to use/maintain. Your channel has provided a wealth of information and plenty of entertainment. Thank you for doing what you do and I look forward to all the videos to come.
When I roll up with a big saw with a long bar and a sharp chain and proceed to cut trees the way you have taught in your videos it blows people away - your positive message has shown me to do for others out of the goodness of ones heart - thank you for your message and your workmanship Buckin
My son and I started tree service 1984 bucket and love the sound advice on everything you been showing in your videos,experience is of your caliber is been extremely helpful thank you keep doing what your doing, God bless
Only been watching for a few months buckin but I like everyone else enjoy watching a VERY skilled axe man work.did it for 30yrs retired now but still fall timber on our property. I also have a story similar to your about the dark days. Lots of luv & respect to ya sir. Stay safe & be kind 😊👍✌️✌️
Why am I here?! The most important question you've asked yet. I'm here because I admire your craft, and know that I dont have the inate abilities that you have. I know that i don't have the time, effort, and love for the craft that you do. Don't get me wrong, I love to run the chainsaw, but it's not my passion. Your passion, your drive, your knowledge...it inspires. Love your stuff. Keep it up! Tree service was here today took down 3 large white pines around power lines, about to go buck wild!
He Buckin i am here because of the education from you as an professional in old crafts like swinging an axe or cutting wood! I am shearing sheep’s with blades wicht is an old craft for years. I like that younger people get to now the old crafts an learning how to work from the professionals. I am 25 now. You sending positive messages and learning content with a lot if experience. Thanks for that!
Welcome to Pennsylvania buddy. I'm here because I like you! Anyways - it doesn't matter where you post a video from - or even if it's the same video as two weeks ago.... It's the energy my dude! Keep it real
I’ve been with you since about 5k and I’m here because you ooze honesty and integrity and want to teach those who want to learn. You do what you want and enjoy your life. All I ask is you keep taking us along!!
I was born in March 1969, your the salt of this earth brother I am here because I believe in what your doing and saying. My family enjoys your family & community keep up the great work and video's saw & chop safe, love ya brother PS you made the boys at Rip Saws day!!!
I’m here before bed because I love hearing your saws as I fall asleep. I’m an arborist in SE Pennsylvania. I want my saws to roar, and gargle, and scream. I’m here for inspiration and education.
Im here to be part of the Buckin Army. Work hard. Be honest. and being Kind. Been watching you for many years. I can relate as a fellow drummer and a guy who grew up clearing trails and cutting wood with my father up in the woods on the weekends. You are a great man Billy! A great roll model for anyone young or old. Keep the content coming. Lets get to that half a million subscribers!
Let me start by saying I'm a tree guy. A huge fan of yours. I live in Alaska and love ripsaw too. And God bless pennsyl fricken vania and them boys down there and God bless you brother all the way from Alaska. Quit a six figure oilfield job to go full time tree guy. Love this blessed life.
That’s cool side-by-side to show the difference you have shown a lot of different varieties of dues and don’ts You’ve grown so much that’s awesome. I hope to be somewhere at a growing pace. Like you have, I can say, I have worked hard all my life doesn’t everybody. If I told you everything I would have to convince you most of my comments on your videos. I listen to what you say and I comment and then I watch the rest of the video and you end up answering or we’re on the same wave length it’s crazy I started writing this then I paused and listen to you more, and then you said you want to hear from us and I was already riding but I work 48 hours a week at a grocery store I am a meat, cutter, I cut firewood on the side and sell. It helps with Christmas and other things I do. I trim trees and landscape when someone’s in need like you say be kind don’t overcharge and I take care of five houses monthly landscaping in Arizona 118° after work I justifying how hard at work but that’s just a start.😊
Yes Sir, you DO work hard. I’ll tip my hat to you ANYTIME! 48hrs+ side work that is definitely not the easiest thing on the body. BUT, it’s a great workout and it takes the mind off of the “garbage” that a man has to deal with for his 10hr day job. I’ve been there so I can understand. I just didn’t have saws in my life at that moment. All that I know how to say in that regard is EXCELLENT 👍
I'm here because you're here! When people are at their lowest point, you give the strength to stand up and move forward just from your strong personality.
Buckin, I’m one of the ones who doesn’t know anything about saws or has ever used one. I’m here to watch you build a brand and be an entrepreneur so go forth and travel. I like the physicality of the axe work and watching you take down a tree methodically using physics. I also enjoy tree work, pruning and learning about the species. Use more of your music in the videos.
Been watching you for 5 years now. Found you brother when I was YouTubing chainsaws when I first started my landscape company. Been watching ever sense and you are one of the very few honest, real deal, and down to earth people on the internet.
Hi Buckin! I found your channel after studying the BC fallers standard and wanted more education on all aspects of sawmanship and axemanship. What I found was so much more, as many have commented. You positive message became the reason I came back daily to watch your adventures and learn from you. Today I’m climbing, topping and falling two trees for neighbors. I never could have gotten to where I am today without your channel!
I'm here because I love doin' firewood and l still want to learn more from 'da man himself'. This community is so positive and supportive, it always make me feel good to watch Billy and read comments. Thank you, LOVE & HUGS to all.
I'm here thanks to The essential Craftsman. I've been a precision interior carpenter for 20 years. Now moving to the sticks in PA done with the finicky precision moving to the rough tough lumber for fun and for work. I've always been a power guy. And I love your trucks. Love to meet you on a job one day!.
I’m here because you are a man of integrity. It’s entertaining, educational, uplifting & inspiring. It’s a privilege & a pleasure to join you on your journey & be a messenger of kindness.
Good vibes love peace and saw grease, lm here to learn and grow as not only a cutter but as a person in general,so from the bottom of my heart thanks for everything you do BBR,God bless you and yours and with love peace and saw grease!!!!! Jay small
I am here for your positivity. I spent the first part of my life chasing the paycheck thinking it would make me happy. I started watching and listening to your videos and thought a lot about why i was unhappy. I bought my first chainsaw last year and am working on getting out of my toxic work environment at your encouragement and getting to a point where I answer to myself. Going back to being humble. Love the message here. Love working in the woods. Love my chainsaw. Thank you.
The positive energy, family oriented, hard working ethics and honesty, the chance to learn about equipment , upkeep, general maintenance etc., good businesses and great people in the Buckin Army, the sharing, caring , for others, this kind of positivity truly is what the world needs, and i will continue to watch, listen and learn, thanks Buckin and family, kindness wins.❤
i'm here because i love power saws, axes and firewood. been heating my home with wood for 25 years. also your message of kindness is just what i've been saying for years. And now your in Johnstown. right in my back yard. My dad worked in those steel mills years ago. So jealous i couldn't see ya when you were so close.
Good to see you in my home state, Buckin! I am here because a few years back I searched, "How to cut a leaning tree." I watched a few videos and 1 of them really stood out as special.... yours. You were funny, entertaining and most importantly, uplifting. Hanging out with you is fun. I bore easily with the rest of the internet. But, with your channel, I have something to look forward to nearly everday! Thank you.
Partly the tree wisdom. Partly the life philosophy. The delivery of the content. The chainsaw maintainence and modifications. The people. Of course because I really like the sound of a rip - snorting chainsaw chewing though a log spraying huge chips!
Buckin, I've been here for at least 7 of the 8 years you've had this channel, and you know why I'm here. It's you and this awesome community. The Buckin Army is getting stronger every day.
Im here for the oceans of positive speaking and to watch a skilled professional demonstrate his many year's of knowledge! Lot's of love to ya brother Buckin. 👍
Buckin, I think for many of us we are here for you and the message you spread. It’s hope and love and helping and learning. It’s a community of like minded people who enjoy watching you do cool stuff helping others and spreading a message of hope! That sir, is what is contagious about your channel. Keep pushing forward and staying true to yourself. Ps… look at all these well thought out and passionate responses from people! Messengers of Kindness are here!
@Buckin' Billy Ray What an odd question to ask? Especially when this is one of the first videos I've clicked on of yours in months!!! It almost feels.... yeah. Anyway, I haven't been around the channel much lately because I've actually been talking your advice and trying to get out there and make stuff happen. I've been building a little firewood clientele along with restoring and hanging vintage axes. Life's been getting better friends and I owe you some credit for that. You spoke into me while I was a really low point. Helped me remember to keep my head up. So get out there and find something to do that excites you friends, and please as always, be kind to eachother. Because buckin is right, love really does win.
I'm a homeowner with 40+ trees that I need to clear at my new house. I started watching you for entertainment (even before I started cutting trees...never cut a tree in my life and I'm 47yrs old) but after buying this house, I started learning. I bought a 462 with a long(er) bar because "stand up and buck". I've learned how to hand file (not as good as you of course but I am learning). I've learned to assess the lean, look for hazards, plan the work, work the plan! You are a fine gentleman and I appreciate not only the teachings but also the words of kindness!
Buckin, i,m here becouse you are one of a kind. You make me think, feel and see genuinè American zealous for living a goodlife. Your unique personality is both entertaining ànď inspiring. Not to mention learning is fun with a teàcher like you. I love your energy and smile.
Hello my name is Jaymes R Small and I'm here to learn and grow not only as a cutter but to grow as a person as well, I will be along with the you till the wheels fall off!!! Like always God bless you and yours and with love peace and saw Grease Jay small
I came here because i bought 10 acre to build my dream house! I got a husky chainsaw, and you taught me how to properly cut a tree and mod my saw! But i love your personality and the way you explain things! Keep doing ur thing! Love to see it!!
You creat a very positive message. Also your content is very informative. I love the outdoors and woodcutting. I am from Pennsylvania and it’s great that you are promoting RIPSAW. Thanks for all that you do.
I am having what we call a smoko break,or morning tea. It's Sat morning here in S.Island,New Zealand. I have been loading out 4ft x 3ft x 7ft bales of barley straw for cows. I watch purely for entertainment and education on Chainsaws (I have a 395 XP,with 42" bar,skiptooth 404 chain and Muffler mod) and the like. Thanks for the time and no small effort you put in.
I was brought here to learn how to file. I am still here to start my day with a little positive energy. I enjoy witnessing your success with your the channel. Most like the kindness message. Please be careful not to become a slave to money. You have opened a door into the hearts of grown men.
I learn from your videos.. I buy products to test performance on tools from various brands.. I do landscaping for a living and doing well. I find time to mess around with tools small engines etc... I own 54 chainsaws and plan to buy more vintage saws to collect and use.. my saws outperform others in the same business as i am. I see them struggle with stock saws... i learn from videos like yours and spend lots of money on making my tools better.. its fun... this is the beauty of united states of America... work hard and smart and you can afford almost anything you want. Life is good. Love your videos
A come for the whole vibe. Love it. I remember bunyan last year never got to see the show. Spent the whole time talking to the buckin army. If you ever travel to my brother Marks shop I have two trees that need to come down, a 5’ and 4’ popular tree I’m less than 1/4 mile from him. Ripsaws shop looks awesome,!!
I'm here to stay grounded in a genuinely caring energy that promotes doing the right thing simply and honestly. That energy helped start my business and I'm thankful. I will stay humble and helpful as best I can. Thanks for being you!
Buckin always enjoy your positivity, hand filing, cool new things and running a mix of different saws in different scenarios. As a recreational guy who bucks for firewood and trail clearing. Because of you, my saws are hands-down so much better cutters, my technique and skills have improved and I enjoy it so much more. Keep er’ in the wood!
I am by no means a professional cutter, but I so appreciate watching your videos making sure when I am out cutting that I am safe as possible and smart as possible to make sure I bring the tree down safely and no hickups. I love watching videos of people who share there talents, it's in the giving that we truly receive and you personify that to the nth degree.
I've always ran saws cutting firewood for my dad. A couple years ago i got a few of my own saws and became interested in them. I start building saws and toying with porting. Now i run a 365 special and 395 and can't keep track of how many others i have. If my career path doesn't work out I've thought about trying tree work. If I'm having a bad day i watch some of your videos and your joy and positive attitude are contagious!
🙋🏼♂️ I’m here because of what I learned years ago ,what I’m learning now and what I can learn in the future and the brotherhood of same minded people ☮️ 🌲🌲
Billy Ray!!! I watch your videos cause I grew up with in a small rural village here in Ontario,(West nippissing) the sounds of chain saws where alway in hear shot. I now live in the city. I grew ip spliting fire wood for the house. My dad still cuts fire wood and loves it but I never took too the chain saw.... but last year he bought my 1st saw and has been teaching me and I want to help family plus learn more. And now I stumbled on to your site and continue to learn. Thank you. Your stoke and knowledge fuels my flame. And if my dad had internet access he would be fired up too.... pardon the puns . Thank you for all your work and knowledge it help people! Cheers
Here to learn more and have learned a lot from your videos. I work part time on my grandparents farm (used to be full time but am now a full time mechanical engineer now that I’m done with school and hockey) and have always been into cutting trees and running saws. Something about cutting something down and processing it all to be burned and benefit from it make me feel accomplished. Something a lot of men don’t do anymore, and I think it has soured our society. I’m also always looking to learn new skills or improve ones I already have. I’ve been binge watching your videos a lot the last couple years or so. Keep it up!
Your a positive man and an inspiration to many if your wanting to start traveling and bring us along with you I'd be happy to see the world from your lense
I have cut down my own trees over the years. I have a wood lathe and use the tree logs for bowel blanks. I’m a woodworker and hatted seeing trees cut down and chewed up in a chipper. I did some cabinet work for a coworker who gave me a stihl 046 in trade, so I got my self a Alaska chain saw mill, milled a few trees made all kinds of things with the wood. Got myself a husqvarna 460 rancher also. So came across one of your videos a long time ago and have been watching ever since. I just enjoy watching professionals and your videos are entertaining, informational and enjoy watching your videos because of you and the person you are which has nothing to do with logging or chainsaws
I am here for two main reasons, I love working with power saws which I have used to heat my home for over forty years and the things I have learned from Buckin have been wonderful. The second reason is the team/family I have met so many wonderful friends including Buckin and I will say the real draw to continue here is the team members that continue to grow. Blessings to all ♥️♥️
I’m here in my 300 acres in Ontario as a cabinet maker just heating my shop and home with wood and I do the odd unique piece like cool coffee tables etc. if I find a cool chunk of wood. I’ll also cut a little extra firewood to sell occasionally. Just bought a 500i and am in line to get it ported with the boys at Ripsaw 😎 Watching this video to learn more about products (super interested in these pipes Mark is building) etc. I find the tour of Ripsaw really neat because it’s nice to feel like I know where I’m sending my saw. I don’t really depend on my saw for a living but chainsaws are my hobby and I want a ripper! 😎 Keep the videos coming Buckin’ 👍🏼
Buckin I want to see you travel the world I want you to come to Australia and buck some real hard wood with us. I am sure I am not the only one to say this but not only do we learn from you mate but you make our days brighter you make us laugh. Bring on 1 million subscribers. Cheers mate keep up the great work 🍻🇦🇺
Buckin I'm here because I like you and your positive attitude... I also love the forest and power saws... and I live in Nanaimo so it's a kick to see you show parts of it in your video's... been watching you since you were about 2,000 subscribers... cheers!
I'm here for learning and entertainment. I have similar interests.. music, wood cutting/splitting and burning and well Buckin ya feel like a friend. That's why I'm here. Love the show.. my stihl 391 is a dog.. A ripsaw 500 or even just a new pipe is a dream.. A pipe dream 😉
You’d ultimately be happier with a 362 Stihl OR a Husky 562 OR an Echo in the 60ish cc size. Just get a pro model and not a homeowner variety like the 391 is. BUT, I’ve seen MANY people starting with something similar to yours and get fed up with the saws that are on “most” dealers shelves. Remember this, a sharp chain makes a big difference in the performance of a saw, whether it’s a hot rod or a homeowner. I’ve hand filed a few chains for folks that didn’t realize that chains could be sharpened and their response was “ it’s been a VERY long time since my saw cut that good, maybe even never”.
@@ToddAdams1234 I hear ya but I'm just home/farm owner so only do about 6 cords a year. Buckin helped but I learned about sharpening and bar maint. the hard way. I cringe at dull chains and worn bars now. Wishing I could just bolt some more zoop onto the 391.. It's reliable and all but.. lackluster throttle response.
I'm here for the positive reminder to be a better person, especially with the toxic work culture that's around my ways. Your video about your dad and you got me talking to my old man again.
You have taught me so much about how to run my saws properly, file, saw care etc.
I come to this channel to learn, laugh and connect.
Thanks for all that you do buckin, love ya Buddy.
I reunited with my father in my early thirties, we we’re forming a relationship after a 4 or 5 years and then he committed suicide, I wish you the best with your father.
@@alanmeyers3957 sorry to hear that brother.
@@alanmeyers3957 remember the time you had with him, sorry for your loss.
Im here to see the absolute beauty of the areas you work. I love working on and using power saws! The two-stroke smoke, calmness and the serenity of the woods.
Im a Veteran and there isn't a better place to relax and unwind. Best medicine for those suffering from PTSD or anything for that matter. That's why i. here BBR!
I'm here and watching because i never had a father.... well I do have a dad but we didn't have a relationship and he never tough me one thing in life other then to drink his life away. To this day he is still the same....
I look up to you as a father figure that can teach me everything my dad was supposed to teach me. I don't even no you other then CZcams but I take your advice and use it daily! Keep on keeping on buckin!!!
I’m here because I grew up helping my dad cut and put up enough wood to heat through a Michigan winter. Have been running a saw since I was 12. Now I’m in my late 40s and gentrified… I only pick up a saw a couple times a year to help pops clear downed trees around his house. I’ve stayed for the message. In a world of fake people you are one of the most genuine. I grew up surrounded by men like you. Humble, hard working, sleeveless flannels, a shed full of Mcculloch saws and heartfelt talk next to the wood stove.
First reason I am here is respect.
Second reason is you have taught me so much. I have been a heavy machine plant fitter, a factory metal machinist, a welder, a woodworker/jig maker/re-designer for when the factory got it wrong. They called me a legend
The last reason is I bought my first chain saw within the last 6 months at age 70 and I realize that all of the above was a waste of parts of my life.
Not really because I can rebuild them as easy as cooking the dinner but you get the idea.
I love what you do
You inspire me and have taught me so much through the last 3 months or so.
So I am here to say thank you so much. You are a Legend
I am now self employed with chainsaw in my hands everyday providing for my family and you SR helped spark the today mentality that one day I left the woods to go to the woods for my self thank you Buckin Billy Ray for being you and spreading the message of love
Same here my friend. Bill lit the wick for me and I made the leap. Life is good. Be safe out there.
@@everlysuniquetimbersawshop Man it has been life changing I loved logging as a job but before sun up till after dark and no time for my family was my life now i can take a day with the kids and wife God Bless yall and keep your head up

Why am I here? You asked I will tell ya straight up. No B.S. That and I am an ole school like you. 54 The first big saw I ran was a hussy 1100 or 2100 dont know. We used a short bar to cut fire wood. Later on she went to a local saw shop in the80's and reached her sustainable potenttial. was a lot older and bigger fella the and even thogh she was a little fat I fell in love. That waz after my DAD went into the sawmill buisnes. I have always loved to run equiptment or anything that we, meaning it and me could do. You know what I am talking about.

Old school truth with love and hope knowing that the yuongens will take hold and dig in and be what they are designed to be according to whats in their heart. Yes I busted up a bit, but I aint dead yet. You have helped me in more ways than you know.!!!
Buckin it is amazing you were able to visit ripsaw in johnstown my entire family is from there !! now im located south central PA. Been watching the channel for years !! Amazing
I’m here to learn the art of cutting trees down safely and keeping the woods clean and healthy and to learn from such a positive person! I love your channel!
I'm here for knowledge. I enjoy that you talk about life. Has helped me look at it differently. Thanks for everything you do.
Why am I here? I am here because you inspire me to be a better man. I try to live my life to be a good and kind person. I am 65 years old and I want to be better. You are a inspiration to me, how people should live their lives. If we can all do some good on this earth while we are here, then the world will be a better place. If we all do just a little, to make the world better, then as a whole, we can accomplish many great things. I also like to run chainsaws, I cut firewood for my cabin!!!
I came here to learn about filing. I've learned so much more it's hard to put into words. I'm starting because I love to see the joy in your face when that saw is cutting just right or an axe is splitting like a Wood Bullet. Your joy puts a smile on my face after a long day. Keep doing what you're doing Buckin'. I'm here... for you
I’m here for the message and education in cutting ! Like what works and what don’t … I’ve learned a lot and cut over 30 70foot trees with success so far .. many more to cut but ur inspiration
As a team member for several years I have seen the channel grow to the point when Buckin dose a job for free it makes all of us feel good knowing we had a small part in making it happen. Buckin’s and our passion together is making a difference. It is a good feeling to be kind. 👍♥️
two more thank you emails just came through. from Covenant house ,(homeless youth), i know why yer here ol' Boy , love ya Marto. yer truck s not bad either
I am here cuz your kind. I am a veteran and served Canada ion the Balkans and Afghanistan You bring the calm that brings something that calms the PTSD and reminds why Canada is so great and a guy like you is what we stand for. Be kind and gentle
If only people could have come out and showed our support. I'm about 2hrs. southeast in central Maryland, Retired and would have loved the opportunity, even to just say hi and shake your hand.
I started working in the woods when I was 12 years old. I still do it from time to time. I enjoy seeing somebody that knows some things that I don’t and learning. coming at you from Nova Scotia Canada.
I’m here because I noticed a yellow McCulloch chainsaw on your channel, exactly like the one I used as a kid growing up in northern BC. cutting firewood. I thought “ this guy must be from BC and I bet he’s the real thing, a real logger.” So I clicked on the window. It was more than that though, more than just cutting trees. There was this guy with a spiritual side to him saying “friends work hard, be kind, tell the truth.”
I’m taking your advice, and I watch episodes frequently. Thanks for the positive message.
Lots of reasons, the positivity is the best part at the end of the day. And the hot saws and ramblings are just a bonus!
I'm here because I love to see hard honest work. I love to see the authenticity and passion. I love to see people dedicated to their craft. On top of that, your message of love takes it from 10 to 100.
I came here when you only ran the yellow saw,s you and then the old timers that you learned from you put them on and wisdom was the proof that your a real person and are kind enough two help others was relating to my life I blew my back out and can’t hold a saw any more and am still hear for you take me to what I miss the most the woods that’s why iam here .. your awesome in every way buckin your good people .. o and the sound of the saws .amazingly brings a smile on my face brother your awsome man that’s all there is to it thank you and be safe ..
I’m here to learn about chainsaws. My dad passed away about a year ago and it’s one of the very few things he never really taught me how to use/maintain. Your channel has provided a wealth of information and plenty of entertainment. Thank you for doing what you do and I look forward to all the videos to come.
When I roll up with a big saw with a long bar and a sharp chain and proceed to cut trees the way you have taught in your videos it blows people away - your positive message has shown me to do for others out of the goodness of ones heart - thank you for your message and your workmanship Buckin
I came here to learn more about cutting trees, I’ve stayed because your a great person. Thanks Buckin’!
Here for the love and the straight goods. Ordered a Buckin 201 dog for my old 194 this morning, thanks again Ripsaw!!
You're a good man mr Ozark
@tinmanssaws Right back at ya friend
thx pal
My son and I started tree service 1984 bucket and love the sound advice on everything you been showing in your videos,experience is of your caliber is been extremely helpful thank you keep doing what your doing, God bless
I am here because Buckin has his finger on the pulse and every episode is informative. I am learning every time I watch.
Only been watching for a few months buckin but I like everyone else enjoy watching a VERY skilled axe man work.did it for 30yrs retired now but still fall timber on our property. I also have a story similar to your about the dark days. Lots of luv & respect to ya sir. Stay safe & be kind 😊👍✌️✌️
Why am I here?! The most important question you've asked yet. I'm here because I admire your craft, and know that I dont have the inate abilities that you have. I know that i don't have the time, effort, and love for the craft that you do. Don't get me wrong, I love to run the chainsaw, but it's not my passion. Your passion, your drive, your knowledge...it inspires. Love your stuff. Keep it up! Tree service was here today took down 3 large white pines around power lines, about to go buck wild!
He Buckin i am here because of the education from you as an professional in old crafts like swinging an axe or cutting wood! I am shearing sheep’s with blades wicht is an old craft for years. I like that younger people get to now the old crafts an learning how to work from the professionals. I am 25 now. You sending positive messages and learning content with a lot if experience. Thanks for that!
Welcome to Pennsylvania buddy. I'm here because I like you! Anyways - it doesn't matter where you post a video from - or even if it's the same video as two weeks ago.... It's the energy my dude! Keep it real
I'm here because this channel makes me a better person.
I've been here for 5 or 6 years and I keep coming back.
I’ve been with you since about 5k and I’m here because you ooze honesty and integrity and want to teach those who want to learn. You do what you want and enjoy your life. All I ask is you keep taking us along!!
This is great , I will friend
I was born in March 1969, your the salt of this earth brother I am here because I believe in what your doing and saying.
My family enjoys your family & community keep up the great work and video's saw & chop safe, love ya brother
PS you made the boys at Rip Saws day!!!
I’m here before bed because I love hearing your saws as I fall asleep. I’m an arborist in SE Pennsylvania. I want my saws to roar, and gargle, and scream. I’m here for inspiration and education.
Im here to be part of the Buckin Army. Work hard. Be honest. and being Kind. Been watching you for many years. I can relate as a fellow drummer and a guy who grew up clearing trails and cutting wood with my father up in the woods on the weekends. You are a great man Billy! A great roll model for anyone young or old. Keep the content coming. Lets get to that half a million subscribers!
👍💪 I totally agree
@@stine19741 💪👍
Let me start by saying I'm a tree guy. A huge fan of yours. I live in Alaska and love ripsaw too. And God bless pennsyl fricken vania and them boys down there and God bless you brother all the way from Alaska. Quit a six figure oilfield job to go full time tree guy. Love this blessed life.
That’s cool side-by-side to show the difference you have shown a lot of different varieties of dues and don’ts You’ve grown so much that’s awesome. I hope to be somewhere at a growing pace. Like you have, I can say, I have worked hard all my life doesn’t everybody. If I told you everything I would have to convince you most of my comments on your videos. I listen to what you say and I comment and then I watch the rest of the video and you end up answering or we’re on the same wave length it’s crazy I started writing this then I paused and listen to you more, and then you said you want to hear from us and I was already riding but I work 48 hours a week at a grocery store I am a meat, cutter,
I cut firewood on the side and sell. It helps with Christmas and other things I do. I trim trees and landscape when someone’s in need like you say be kind don’t overcharge and I take care of five houses monthly landscaping in Arizona 118° after work I justifying how hard at work but that’s just a start.😊
Yes Sir, you DO work hard. I’ll tip my hat to you ANYTIME! 48hrs+ side work that is definitely not the easiest thing on the body. BUT, it’s a great workout and it takes the mind off of the “garbage” that a man has to deal with for his 10hr day job. I’ve been there so I can understand. I just didn’t have saws in my life at that moment. All that I know how to say in that regard is
EXCELLENT 👍
@@ToddAdams1234 thanks for your reply I love working hard that’s all I know it’s in my blood. Thanks again for your comment
Thats a nice well setup and tidy workshop ,awesome.
I'm here for the education. Cutting, filing, climbing. Buckin, you are a master at your craft
I'm here because you're here! When people are at their lowest point, you give the strength to stand up and move forward just from your strong personality.
Buckin, I’m one of the ones who doesn’t know anything about saws or has ever used one.
I’m here to watch you build a brand and be an entrepreneur so go forth and travel.
I like the physicality of the axe work and watching you take down a tree methodically using physics. I also enjoy tree work, pruning and learning about the species. Use more of your music in the videos.
Right on, thx
@@BuckinBillyRaySmithI came here to learn about axes. And I stayed for the music and good vibes
Love the positivity and knowledge of chains saws. I love coming home from a hard days of work and watching your videos to decompress. Thank you sir.
Been watching you for 5 years now. Found you brother when I was YouTubing chainsaws when I first started my landscape company. Been watching ever sense and you are one of the very few honest, real deal, and down to earth people on the internet.
LIKED WHEN YOU AND MORGAN TRAVELLED ACROSS CANADA WAS A GREAT VIDEO SERIES
I am here because I learned so much from you, and because of the good spirit that comes out of you. You’re my kind of people.
Hi Buckin! I found your channel after studying the BC fallers standard and wanted more education on all aspects of sawmanship and axemanship. What I found was so much more, as many have commented. You positive message became the reason I came back daily to watch your adventures and learn from you. Today I’m climbing, topping and falling two trees for neighbors. I never could have gotten to where I am today without your channel!
???
The BC fallers guide is a great series of videos with a lot of good information.
I love watching people cut trees. I identify with the physical labor and I love the craft of it
I'm here because I love doin' firewood and l still want to learn more from 'da man himself'. This community is so positive and supportive, it always make me feel good to watch Billy and read comments. Thank you, LOVE & HUGS to all.
I'm here thanks to The essential Craftsman. I've been a precision interior carpenter for 20 years. Now moving to the sticks in PA done with the finicky precision moving to the rough tough lumber for fun and for work. I've always been a power guy. And I love your trucks. Love to meet you on a job one day!.
I’m here because you are a man of integrity. It’s entertaining, educational, uplifting & inspiring. It’s a privilege & a pleasure to join you on your journey & be a messenger of kindness.
Great answer friend, thank you
Good vibes love peace and saw grease, lm here to learn and grow as not only a cutter but as a person in general,so from the bottom of my heart thanks for everything you do BBR,God bless you and yours and with love peace and saw grease!!!!! Jay small
I am here for your positivity. I spent the first part of my life chasing the paycheck thinking it would make me happy. I started watching and listening to your videos and thought a lot about why i was unhappy. I bought my first chainsaw last year and am working on getting out of my toxic work environment at your encouragement and getting to a point where I answer to myself. Going back to being humble. Love the message here. Love working in the woods. Love my chainsaw. Thank you.
Love that!
I'm really happy for you that you are getting on a road that makes you happy. Wishing you success in all you do, love from Germany 🌲🌳❤️✊🏻
I’m here for the positive energy, the wonderful content and I love power saws!!
The positive energy, family oriented, hard working ethics and honesty, the chance to learn about equipment , upkeep, general maintenance etc., good businesses and great people in the Buckin Army, the sharing, caring , for others, this kind of positivity truly is what the world needs, and i will continue to watch, listen and learn, thanks Buckin and family, kindness wins.❤
i'm here because i love power saws, axes and firewood. been heating my home with wood for 25 years. also your message of kindness is just what i've been saying for years. And now your in Johnstown. right in my back yard. My dad worked in those steel mills years ago. So jealous i couldn't see ya when you were so close.
Good to see you in my home state, Buckin! I am here because a few years back I searched, "How to cut a leaning tree." I watched a few videos and 1 of them really stood out as special.... yours. You were funny, entertaining and most importantly, uplifting. Hanging out with you is fun. I bore easily with the rest of the internet. But, with your channel, I have something to look forward to nearly everday! Thank you.
Partly the tree wisdom. Partly the life philosophy. The delivery of the content. The chainsaw maintainence and modifications. The people. Of course because I really like the sound of a rip - snorting chainsaw chewing though a log spraying huge chips!
Buckin, I've been here for at least 7 of the 8 years you've had this channel, and you know why I'm here. It's you and this awesome community. The Buckin Army is getting stronger every day.
👍
Im here for the positive messages about hard work, taking care of people and the ❤️
Im here for the oceans of positive speaking and to watch a skilled professional demonstrate his many year's of knowledge! Lot's of love to ya brother Buckin. 👍
Thx Rand
I’m here because you just a loveable dude and have a magnetic character that’s straight up no bs.
Buckin, I think for many of us we are here for you and the message you spread. It’s hope and love and helping and learning. It’s a community of like minded people who enjoy watching you do cool stuff helping others and spreading a message of hope! That sir, is what is contagious about your channel. Keep pushing forward and staying true to yourself.
Ps… look at all these well thought out and passionate responses from people! Messengers of Kindness are here!
We live in a cynical world I like watching your channel to remind myself that its not all Bad. That's why I'm here. Thanks
@Buckin' Billy Ray
What an odd question to ask? Especially when this is one of the first videos I've clicked on of yours in months!!!
It almost feels.... yeah.
Anyway, I haven't been around the channel much lately because I've actually been talking your advice and trying to get out there and make stuff happen. I've been building a little firewood clientele along with restoring and hanging vintage axes. Life's been getting better friends and I owe you some credit for that.
You spoke into me while I was a really low point. Helped me remember to keep my head up. So get out there and find something to do that excites you friends, and please as always, be kind to eachother. Because buckin is right, love really does win.
i start watching you shortly after i seen you on ax men, that's where the journey began !!
We want a Disney movie!.... BUCKIN'S TRAVELS! .... RIPSAW!!!!!....... be kind!
Really disney?
@@austindenotter19 Its a joke!.... i know buckin... were friends from way back.
@@1944chevytruck understood
I like watching you work and I learn how to cut trees properly how to fall them also how you hang an axe,neat!😅
I'm a homeowner with 40+ trees that I need to clear at my new house. I started watching you for entertainment (even before I started cutting trees...never cut a tree in my life and I'm 47yrs old) but after buying this house, I started learning. I bought a 462 with a long(er) bar because "stand up and buck". I've learned how to hand file (not as good as you of course but I am learning). I've learned to assess the lean, look for hazards, plan the work, work the plan! You are a fine gentleman and I appreciate not only the teachings but also the words of kindness!
J this is great ,
I been watching for a few months now , I like when you cut down trees. That’s what I like 😂
Buckin, i,m here becouse you are one of a kind. You make me think, feel and see genuinè American zealous for living a goodlife. Your unique personality is both entertaining ànď inspiring. Not to mention learning is fun with a teàcher like you. I love your energy and smile.
Hello my name is Jaymes R Small and I'm here to learn and grow not only as a cutter but to grow as a person as well, I will be along with the you till the wheels fall off!!! Like always God bless you and yours and with love peace and saw Grease Jay small
I came here because i bought 10 acre to build my dream house! I got a husky chainsaw, and you taught me how to properly cut a tree and mod my saw! But i love your personality and the way you explain things! Keep doing ur thing! Love to see it!!
You creat a very positive message. Also your content is very informative. I love the outdoors and woodcutting. I am from Pennsylvania and it’s great that you are promoting RIPSAW. Thanks for all that you do.
I am having what we call a smoko break,or morning tea.
It's Sat morning here in S.Island,New Zealand.
I have been loading out 4ft x 3ft x 7ft bales of barley straw for cows.
I watch purely for entertainment and education on Chainsaws (I have a 395 XP,with 42" bar,skiptooth 404 chain and Muffler mod) and the like.
Thanks for the time and no small effort you put in.
I was brought here to learn how to file. I am still here to start my day with a little positive energy. I enjoy witnessing your success with your the channel. Most like the kindness message. Please be careful not to become a slave to money. You have opened a door into the hearts of grown men.
I learn from your videos.. I buy products to test performance on tools from various brands.. I do landscaping for a living and doing well. I find time to mess around with tools small engines etc... I own 54 chainsaws and plan to buy more vintage saws to collect and use.. my saws outperform others in the same business as i am. I see them struggle with stock saws... i learn from videos like yours and spend lots of money on making my tools better.. its fun... this is the beauty of united states of America... work hard and smart and you can afford almost anything you want. Life is good. Love your videos
A come for the whole vibe. Love it. I remember bunyan last year never got to see the show. Spent the whole time talking to the buckin army. If you ever travel to my brother Marks shop I have two trees that need to come down, a 5’ and 4’ popular tree I’m less than 1/4 mile from him.
Ripsaws shop looks awesome,!!
I'm here to stay grounded in a genuinely caring energy that promotes doing the right thing simply and honestly. That energy helped start my business and I'm thankful. I will stay humble and helpful as best I can. Thanks for being you!
Buckin always enjoy your positivity, hand filing, cool new things and running a mix of different saws in different scenarios. As a recreational guy who bucks for firewood and trail clearing. Because of you, my saws are hands-down so much better cutters, my technique and skills have improved and I enjoy it so much more. Keep er’ in the wood!
I am by no means a professional cutter, but I so appreciate watching your videos making sure when I am out cutting that I am safe as possible and smart as possible to make sure I bring the tree down safely and no hickups.
I love watching videos of people who share there talents, it's in the giving that we truly receive and you personify that to the nth degree.
Looking to learn more about the saw life. To keep myself safe. Thank you for all of your knowledge!
I've always ran saws cutting firewood for my dad. A couple years ago i got a few of my own saws and became interested in them. I start building saws and toying with porting. Now i run a 365 special and 395 and can't keep track of how many others i have. If my career path doesn't work out I've thought about trying tree work. If I'm having a bad day i watch some of your videos and your joy and positive attitude are contagious!
Nice, thx
Fine Buncha Fellas, Great Seeing Your Tour With Them, B.R. Much Enjoyed ! Prayers For All Watching ! ATB T God Bless
Glad you enjoyed it
🙋🏼♂️ I’m here because of what I learned years ago ,what I’m learning now and what I can learn in the future and the brotherhood of same minded people ☮️ 🌲🌲
Love the videos keep up the great work I’ve learned so much from you and love soaking up your worked knowledge
I love he’s videos to
Billy Ray!!! I watch your videos cause I grew up with in a small rural village here in Ontario,(West nippissing) the sounds of chain saws where alway in hear shot. I now live in the city. I grew ip spliting fire wood for the house. My dad still cuts fire wood and loves it but I never took too the chain saw.... but last year he bought my 1st saw and has been teaching me and I want to help family plus learn more. And now I stumbled on to your site and continue to learn. Thank you. Your stoke and knowledge fuels my flame. And if my dad had internet access he would be fired up too.... pardon the puns . Thank you for all your work and knowledge it help people!
Cheers
Here to learn more and have learned a lot from your videos. I work part time on my grandparents farm (used to be full time but am now a full time mechanical engineer now that I’m done with school and hockey) and have always been into cutting trees and running saws. Something about cutting something down and processing it all to be burned and benefit from it make me feel accomplished. Something a lot of men don’t do anymore, and I think it has soured our society. I’m also always looking to learn new skills or improve ones I already have. I’ve been binge watching your videos a lot the last couple years or so. Keep it up!
I'm here because I can't sleep and for some reason I love the art of tree felling and how you guys aim a tree to fall on a dime !
You’re a good man. A positive influence. A teacher/educator. That’s why I’m here! Still learning about things I enjoy.
Welcome to western PA! Hope yinz have a great trip! I'm an hour north of you in Punxsutawney. A great place to live!
I’m here for positivity, I love working with my hands 🙌 and I love learning thanks for the knowledge ❤.
Happy to help buckin!😅 I do watch your videos. Thanks for being so nice
Buckin, I’m just trying to learn. I can’t stop learning. And for me, this is another tool to add to my life’s toolbelt. And I thank you for it!
I’m here for knowledge and mentorship. I thank you uncle buck. I feel like I grew up with you. Thanks a gain and again uncle buck
Your a positive man and an inspiration to many if your wanting to start traveling and bring us along with you I'd be happy to see the world from your lense
I have cut down my own trees over the years. I have a wood lathe and use the tree logs for bowel blanks. I’m a woodworker and hatted seeing trees cut down and chewed up in a chipper. I did some cabinet work for a coworker who gave me a stihl 046 in trade, so I got my self a Alaska chain saw mill, milled a few trees made all kinds of things with the wood. Got myself a husqvarna 460 rancher also. So came across one of your videos a long time ago and have been watching ever since. I just enjoy watching professionals and your videos are entertaining, informational and enjoy watching your videos because of you and the person you are which has nothing to do with logging or chainsaws
I am here for two main reasons, I love working with power saws which I have used to heat my home for over forty years and the things I have learned from Buckin have been wonderful. The second reason is the team/family I have met so many wonderful friends including Buckin and I will say the real draw to continue here is the team members that continue to grow. Blessings to all ♥️♥️
love wins . connection
Man I just love your work your work ethics and your smartness I will and have learned something, thanks Buckin
I’m here in my 300 acres in Ontario as a cabinet maker just heating my shop and home with wood and I do the odd unique piece like cool coffee tables etc. if I find a cool chunk of wood. I’ll also cut a little extra firewood to sell occasionally.
Just bought a 500i and am in line to get it ported with the boys at Ripsaw 😎
Watching this video to learn more about products (super interested in these pipes Mark is building) etc.
I find the tour of Ripsaw really neat because it’s nice to feel like I know where I’m sending my saw. I don’t really depend on my saw for a living but chainsaws are my hobby and I want a ripper! 😎
Keep the videos coming Buckin’ 👍🏼
Buckin I want to see you travel the world I want you to come to Australia and buck some real hard wood with us. I am sure I am not the only one to say this but not only do we learn from you mate but you make our days brighter you make us laugh. Bring on 1 million subscribers. Cheers mate keep up the great work 🍻🇦🇺
I split eucalyptus exclusively. Can be brutal if left unchecked.
Buckin I'm here because I like you and your positive attitude... I also love the forest and power saws... and I live in Nanaimo so it's a kick to see you show parts of it in your video's... been watching you since you were about 2,000 subscribers... cheers!
I'm here for learning and entertainment. I have similar interests.. music, wood cutting/splitting and burning and well Buckin ya feel like a friend. That's why I'm here. Love the show.. my stihl 391 is a dog.. A ripsaw 500 or even just a new pipe is a dream.. A pipe dream 😉
You’d ultimately be happier with a 362 Stihl OR a Husky 562 OR an Echo in the 60ish cc size. Just get a pro model and not a homeowner variety like the 391 is. BUT, I’ve seen MANY people starting with something similar to yours and get fed up with the saws that are on “most” dealers shelves.
Remember this, a sharp chain makes a big difference in the performance of a saw, whether it’s a hot rod or a homeowner. I’ve hand filed a few chains for folks that didn’t realize that chains could be sharpened and their response was “ it’s been a VERY long time since my saw cut that good, maybe even never”.
@@ToddAdams1234 I hear ya but I'm just home/farm owner so only do about 6 cords a year. Buckin helped but I learned about sharpening and bar maint. the hard way. I cringe at dull chains and worn bars now. Wishing I could just bolt some more zoop onto the 391.. It's reliable and all but.. lackluster throttle response.
I enjoy cutting wood like yourself, only cut for myself for outdoor boiler. Like your saw collection, respect your knowledge and hope to learn more.
