One of the best things about working as a Dogman is knowing all the knots you brought up & more. Now I'm a Tree Climber the pride that I feel in doing a difficult job well amazes me every day ....... You explained the applications of the various knots for Tree Climbing with great clarity It's so easy to see that you purposely teach in a way that enables you to be easily understood by those wanting to learn. Most clips I've come across the teacher wants to be a magician who pulls a rabbit out of a hat ....... Their Students haven't learnt a damn thing, & the supposed teacher stands in front of everyone & pats themselves on their back smug & with an over-inflated ego as what they really wanted all along is a chance to show how clever they think they are ...... Communication & Instruction are concepts that pass way over their heads.. Keep Up the Great Work Mate. I'll use a saying that means the world to me, & I hope it means just as much to you.......... "You're Mother Would Be Proud"
For a stupidly simple and mindless way to tie the bowline, tie a basic slip knot on the working end (leave it loose) and pass the tail through the loop. As you tighten the knot, pull the loop through the knot and allow the tail to form a bight and pass through the knot with the loop. BOOM, instant bowline. No remembering which rope goes on top, which way to wrap it, or where a rabbit goes anymore. Try it and you will be amazed how it requires zero thought to tie. Awesome video, Buckin'! You are a great teacher.
That's crazy. I never learnt how to tie a bowline as a kid and ppl lost their patience trying to show me a truckie's knot. One day as an adult someone showed me them both and I couldn't believe how simple they were. Dunno how I got through life without them lol
I can almost do clove hitches in my sleep. But bowlines, for years I’ve been trying to remember how to do them. Drives me crazy! This is probably my best chance to finally sink into my thick skull. Well presented Buckin 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hey buckin. I wanted to say thank you for all of your videos. I am not new to tree work I did it as a kid, my step dad was a tree climber and I looked up to him and knew that is what I wanted I worked as a ground man for 6 yrs as an adult. I'm 33 now and bought all the climbing gear needed to ascend trees. I climbed my spruce tree with spikes and a lanyard which i did after I seen you do natural crotch rigging on the tops of the firs. Lately I've been practicing ascending with just my saddle and climbing line using a Blake's hitch no spikes. I'm learning as I go and taking it slow. By next summer I hope to be climbing and taking trees down part time and eventually hope to quit my factory job. I really love your videos they are very informative and your not a safety Sally. I mean I am about safety. Your techniques remind me alot of my stepdad techniques. Next I plan to do some limb walking. What do you think the best hitch for that would be? And happy bday derek
This man is epic. His sayings his teachings technique all the knowledge overflowing in this man is pure gold. Keep teaching. This man found his calling.
Good morning all, Happy birthday Derek. Mr Buckin Billy Ray, I have been a firefighter for 19 plus years and a chief for the past 7 years this is the easiest explanation and tutorial on knot tying I have seen. Thank you very much.👍🚒
I also like the timber hitch and a half hitch for pulling big logs on the ground with my truck or tractor. Also the Boy scouts have a good tutorial for knots in the scout hand book ....good video!!!
Good knots Billy. But aside from tree work they will come into use for many other things in life. I learned these in the Coast Guard boot camp, and also used them and many others in my 30 years as a firefighter. Knots are something that a lot of people don't know or don't understand, but they are WELL WORTH the effort to learn them. In the fire department in Portland, Oregon we used a variation of the double bowline to create a "Life Knot". A victims legs would go into the double loops and thre rest was tied into a special knot at the chest that came under the arms pits from behind and a person could be lowered from an elevated position, like a roof, down to the ground safely. Knots are invaluable in just every day life. Good video buddy. Jim
This is one of the best videos on the interwebs!!!!!!! You can use knots in soooo many different ways for everyday things!! Everyone should know this!!!
I do rappelling and actually did one earlier today, I came home and watched this video and saw the first bowline you did there going down the hole first. The one I did for going down the rabbit comes up through first. I thought maybe I had tied it wrong thinking back about it lol! But later to find out there are multiple bowlines! Thanks for the info, love the videos!
Thanks to Buckin' there's not a hand tool around my house that doesn't have a new handle... Even my old clam shovel has a new handle. I must've spent $300.00 on handles this Winter... Thanks Buckin!
I remember the first time I started doing tree work last year and man I’ve been dying to get back into ever since. I swear I wish more older guys were like you buckin billy ray. I would give anything to be taught tree work from a climber and old school guy like you. That would be a opportunity of a lifetime. Anybody who has had the chance to work with you or for you is really lucky. I mean that. 💯🙏🏻 most guys don’t want to teach you at all. They bash you for not knowing it. Sucks it really makes it hard to feel comfortable and actually learn.
Happy Birthday, Derek! 🎂 Hello everyone! I hope you all have a glorious day today. Thanks for the info on the knots, Buckin'. No matter how many times I learn these knots, it seems I can always use a refresher. You do an excellent job of explaining the steps, Buckin'. Very east to follow along and learn. Stay well, friends. Be kind! ❤️
Couldn’t be better, Buckin’! Enjoying life, and doing our best to make the world a little bit better each day. I hope your family is well, too. Have an amazing day, my friend! ☀️
Nicely done buckin. It’s great to see how useful those knots can be in a multitude of situations! The running bowline is just fun to watch go screaming up the tree. Love to you and the family❤️
Happy birthday Derek 🎂 a little late late for you but hey I just found out today. The secret to why the nice guy finishing first is they don't boast about their good fortune to the people around them; what they do is help those around them.
EXCELLENT , uuuuuuhhhh knots are challenging for ole Scotty boy but very important to get right Thank you Buckin ! I remember being on sailboat that hurricane hit and they sent me up in the chair to untangle mast cables I just remember looking down thinking I hope the ole boys know how to tie proper knots down there to hold me up gosh dang I love knots but am seriously challenged at remembering how to ! Thanks again Buckin your an excellent explainer !!!!
Buckin' is the best instructor ever. A little too easy, but I get his intention. He wants everyone to be able to do it well! Good man with a pure heart!
Great knots but still too fast for me however, I can rewatch this vid and practice these again and again and again. Thanks Buckn’ you’ve done it again. Be well and keep instructing us? There really is no better teacher than experience , and you’ve tons of that, stay blessed Buckn’
Hey mate. As an old tugboat Captain I can tell you that on a bowline the rabbit comes up out of the hole runs around the tree and goes back down the hole. That's how we did them at sea and in training.
I learned how to tie bowline around me for spie rigging 30 years ago. Now I can finally tie it in front of me without pretending it's around me. Thanks!
I work in the marine industry, I'm on boats moving them about. My business is canvas and upholstery work. Just wanted to tell you. VERY VERY VERY good explanation. And slow for the mental intake on a real person to real person direction. 👍👍
Hey, Army! Happiness & LOVE to all! Hreay content in this vid, BBR. Very useful for the kids & newbies like our Birthday Lad, Derek! We all hope yers has been super there Young Man, & many, many more! Quick advice from a codger, engage your imagination, build a scenario, then find a knot to handle whatever. Get some large size practice rope, some sticks of wood, and have at it! BBR, please show us how you deal with line before, during, and after a job. Working knots are important, but so is maintenance! It’s wonderful to see your vids and NEVER see tangled, messed up line! That doesn’t happen by accident! 😁👍👍❤️❗️
Thank you Buckin' for your love, light and words of wisdom! Youre an amazing guy and have truly inspired me. I split all my fire wood with axe and cant wait for the bullet to be available. Thanks for slowing things down when explaing these knots. Much love brother! ✊🏽
Good evening Buckin !!. Love ❤️ The harmonica !! 🥳 Happy Birthday 🎂🎁🎉🎊🎈 Derek .! . 11 our grandson is 11 too good age. 🙌🏽😎 love y’all ❤️❤️❤️🥰☝🏼...G-man loves tying knots !. You should see all our Electric cords are all tied up special and so are his rope’s . Real organized in the garage!. He will enjoy this video tomorrow after he’s off of work .
michael white oldtimer Hello 👋🏼 sure will hope all is well with everyone!. Thank you again for the part for my tractor!!. Enjoyed our visit. Your great people!!See ya around CZcams 😉
Hey Buckin' watching your videos finally gave me the kick in the butt to work in tree work. Ended up getting my first job just the other day just by calling and showing up and proving myself. Thanks much for the inspiration.
Before I get started on my comment, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEREK. Keep on keepin' on as a Soldier of Kindness! Billy Ray, I'm glad you figured out that we want to see YOU doing the knots. I spent a wee bit of time in the US Navy, and knew how to tie all four of those knots, but loved watching you ties them! You have a unique way of doing and explaining things. It is always cheerful and full of encouragement. Your joyful personality is infectious, and I thank you for it! God bless you, Billy Ray. continue the good fight for love and kindness!
You could tie up some Buckin Kindness with those knots. I love the running bowline especially. I will pass on your experience and technique teaching apprentices at work. Thank you Buckin
Thank you for explaining the knots so i could understand and happy birthday to your friend. If we took more time to teach our younger people things like this there would be a lot less kids in trouble.
Knots are one of those easy to learn skills that will be invaluable once you have them down. At a desk all day? Have a bootstrap at your desk and practice a minute if you need something to fidget with. They will become second nature and tie "on their own". As a sailor it baffles me how many sailors don't know their knots. And they are useful in everyday live too! ... thanks for doing this video Buckin...I promise I'll be patient with my students. :) be kind!
Dear Buckster, You got more s--t than a Christmas tree. That's why you're a very good harp player. You also are one special kind of person, in more ways than one. Thank you very much.
Man. I've watched a whole bunch of your videos you take up the majority of my idle time. Wish I woulda watched this video along time ago. Keep em coming.
Thanks for the video, I know 2 knots and they are for fishing and boating.. being a die hard bush man I wish I took the time to show myself more knots and it’s always been my weak point lol😂 thanks for showing me a couple more to add to the list I’m gonna practice! Awesome video buckin! Take care and be kind
Happy birthday, Eric! My dad taught the bowline when I was very young. Still use it a ton today! You and dad would get along great talking about trees, your old trucks and your vintage power saws. Plus all the cool stuff in your shop! He's an old school shade tree mechanic always figuring out how to fix stuff. I finally figured out what he was trying to teach me... Some 40 years later. Thanks for this video!
Billy I’m the dumbest SOB that ever forgot how to tie a knot and I’m gonna put this video on my phone so I definitely I’m going to be able to tie them right. I got friends that can take a rope and tie brush on a trailer as tight as I can do it with my tiedown straps And if you’d be kind enough to make another video about two or three of these knots for tightening up a load that would be another keeper for sure. Thanks buddy I appreciate it and you made a subscriber out of me today
That is bad 2 the bone man I love it lol.... buckin billy ray u have tought me so many things. words cannot describe how thankful I am U R THE BEST. I really mean it
Billy Ray, I love you buddy. Your videos are all great, sometimes I laugh and sometimes I get a little teary eyed. Your knot video had me a little teary eyed. Great video and very informative. It brought back a ton of memories of my days on the local fire dept. I served in the days when everything was done off ladders so we had to know how to tie knots for hauling tools etc. The man who taught me was a Navy Sea Bee during WW2 he became a dear friend and mentor and you remind me a lot of him with your patience. I'm being kind because of you. Don
Kindness doesn’t mean weakness, we can be kind while standing strong and proud. I’m a gambling man and the only bet that’s a sure thing is kindness wins
Love the knot tying billy, one of the most overlooked parts of most trades. But yet most important

"A guys tryin' to learn something....just slow down and teach him" Best thing I've heard in a long time
That's crazy. I never learnt how to tie a bowline as a kid and ppl lost their patience trying to show me a truckie's knot.
One day as an adult someone showed me them both and I couldn't believe how simple they were.
Dunno how I got through life without them lol
Was just about to write that. 😀
People just suck at communication in general. Nobody knows how to communicate anymore.
I can almost do clove hitches in my sleep. But bowlines, for years I’ve been trying to remember how to do them. Drives me crazy! This is probably my best chance to finally sink into my thick skull. Well presented Buckin 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Your Harp playing is fantastic Buckin! Love hearing it!

Oh my goodness! Buckin Billy Ray
What a harmonica song!! So impressed. I thought you only played the drums
Your a beautiful person !
Good morning all,
Happy birthday Derek.
Mr Buckin Billy Ray, I have been a firefighter for 19 plus years and a chief for the past 7 years this is the easiest explanation and tutorial on knot tying I have seen.
Thank you very much.👍🚒
Your birthday greeting for Derek touched my heart.
GREAT KNOT DEMO, BILLY RAY! AND A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE 11-YEAR-OLD YOUNGSTER!
ah the clove hitch, so many ways to tie it, but you really explained it well! Thanks Billy!
You are the Bob Ross of Tree work
I also like the timber hitch and a half hitch for pulling big logs on the ground with my truck or tractor. Also the Boy scouts have a good tutorial for knots in the scout hand book ....good video!!!
I love this guy. Straight forward human being. Love it!
You're a great teacher Buckin! I learn from you every time I watch a video. You're really helping people my friend!

I love it, slow down and teach someone, not speed up and impress/confuse.
That's it. If ppl are smart they can find the simplicity and share it.

Happy birthday Derek and great knots videos love it thanks buck Billy
Fantastic Video Buckin, you made learning these knots enjoyable, and very easy to understand !! 😊

Nice harp playing giving history and 🍁 A! Love your positive videos. 🎶🪓
Thanks buckin you help me go through hard times man.
Hey buckin! Hope everything is well, i actually did these with you as i watched 😆
Damn! respect!
I'm just about to do them now while watching the video 🤠
Ain't nobody buckin big enough.your awesomer billy
I just rigged up the bowline and the taut and was testing it hanging around in the garage. Worked great!
Thank you for explaining the knots so i could understand and happy birthday to your friend. If we took more time to teach our younger people things like this there would be a lot less kids in trouble.
Awesome video and I am going to use this video to help teach common knots to my fire department. Thank you so much for everything that you do!
Hey Buckin I'm going to practice these until I'm a knot head lol. Nice tutorial, buddy. Have a great day everybody!
Love the kickin' harmonica tune...love it!
Knots are one of those easy to learn skills that will be invaluable once you have them down. At a desk all day? Have a bootstrap at your desk and practice a minute if you need something to fidget with. They will become second nature and tie "on their own". As a sailor it baffles me how many sailors don't know their knots. And they are useful in everyday live too! ... thanks for doing this video Buckin...I promise I'll be patient with my students. :) be kind!
Thx brother Billy....hope all is well in Gods country out there. Stay safe ! 💓👍🏻
you would make a good teacher or instructor. I learned something new. Thanks.
Happy birthday Derek. Hope you have a great day! Great knot video Buckin. Very easy to understand. Great job! ❤✌🌲🌳
Hey Buckin, from me, a stating climber, thanks. Thats was so useful information!!!
Buckin is the Bob Ross of tree cutting.
Dear Buckster, You got more s--t than a Christmas tree. That's why you're a very good harp player. You also are one special kind of person, in more ways than one. Thank you very much.

Nice Job, some basic knots if not used everyday we forget! Very Nice!
No video could start out any better than you playing the Harmonica. Much love my friend.

Happy Birthday Young Derek! 🎁🎂🎈

Happy birthday, Eric! My dad taught the bowline when I was very young. Still use it a ton today!
You and dad would get along great talking about trees, your old trucks and your vintage power saws. Plus all the cool stuff in your shop!
He's an old school shade tree mechanic always figuring out how to fix stuff. I finally figured out what he was trying to teach me... Some 40 years later. Thanks for this video!
you bet
Billy I’m the dumbest SOB that ever forgot how to tie a knot and I’m gonna put this video on my phone so I definitely I’m going to be able to tie them right.

Mucho Mahalo Amigo for sharing your wisdom.

Fantastic video. Thanks. Learned so much.
Billy Ray, I love you buddy. Your videos are all great, sometimes I laugh and sometimes I get a little teary eyed. Your knot video had me a little teary eyed. Great video and very informative. It brought back a ton of memories of my days on the local fire dept. I served in the days when everything was done off ladders so we had to know how to tie knots for hauling tools etc. The man who taught me was a Navy Sea Bee during WW2 he became a dear friend and mentor and you remind me a lot of him with your patience. I'm being kind because of you. Don
Happy birthday little buddy, Derick from all of us
I have been through this video several times learning these knots. Best learning video on the net. Love you BBR.
Kindness doesn’t mean weakness, we can be kind while standing strong and proud. I’m a gambling man and the only bet that’s a sure thing is kindness wins
