The crossover we all needed. Buckin is one of the best and most positive people on youtube.
He wasn’t slathering it on thick, he was giving credit where credit is due. You’re one of the best..the dad everyone wished they had. Thanks for all of the knowledge you share.
17:00 "There's always another level of expertise or detail in the tools we use, and whether or not we use it we're never sorry once we've learned it." True wisdom in those words.
Probably a lot of you reading this were waiting for this video to pop up as you knew it would from Buckin. I watched every single video from both of you since 2019-2020 and used the knowledge almost on a daily basis. Thank you for what you've been bringing to us. Cheers from Poland!

It's not just absent Dad's sadly. There are a lot who grew up with mean, hateful, belligerent dad's and they were taught that was what a man is. I grew up with a great father so I don't know for sure but it almost feels like the mean father is worse than no father. Not that it's a competition. So great of you to be teaching kindness. Thank you.

Thats a great insight. It’s certainly not a competition and breaking the cycle is hard, however understanding the situation you are in is the most significant part.
Sir you and Buckin are my go to channels for my hard needed dose of positivity and as a bonus i'm learning something while i am at it! Thank you from a Dutch fan!🇳🇱👌🙏
I thank God, everyday, for the great father I was blessed with and I miss him dearly as I approach 78 years old. Thanks Scott for all the great lessons you pass along.

This 71 year old pup echoes both those sentiments. About 90% of the folks in prison in the US didn't have a dad at home. Take that stat where you will.
I could not come up with a better collaboration of you tubers if you gave me a month of Sundays!
I've always explained your channel to other people as "The grandpa I wish I had to teach me the things I'm learning now". Both of my grandpa's were gone by the time I was 4, so I only had my Dad and my step-dad. They did what they could, but raising kids isn't easy when you have your own issues. I have two boys now that are still very young, 6 mo and 2.5yrs. My goal is to give them the Grandpa experience I wish I had as a kid. When they are at the right age to experience those lessons, I will ensure they have the opportunities to do so.

I refer to him when talking to my girlfriend as "youtube grandpa". Like you I also didn't have my grandparents around growing up. I'm sure there are also many others like us!

I got to care for mine over his last years of Alzheimer's when I was 12, still strive to be half the man he was or even just half his kindness.
Thank you Scott for bringing us along for the nice visit with my friend Buck’n Billy-Ray Smith. “BE KIND”
I hope more people follow Buckin. He's so much like T.E.C., he's a bit distractable so his instruction can be a bit all-over-the-place TBH but his expertise and skill, is unrivaled as a production logger and general tree feller. Humble beginnings is an understatement. I wish all the success that comes his and his families way...His 'acts of kindness' precept also pretty darn important.
Ever since I made a commitment to always say 'Yes' if possible, whenever someone asked for help or a favor, my life got better. Making it better for the next guy is what makes the world go round.
Love seeing you two! You both are mentors that I have gone to for years, individually. Seeing you two together in one video feels surreal.
The first thing I noticed was, Billy Ray still has that old Mercury pickup. I thought he'd sold it. I have been using chain saws since the 1980s. But have never been brave enough to mess with the carburetor. Now I finally know the simple basics. (It did not come up that the demonstration saw is OLD, and a Homelite. So I take it that what he showed us is universal. Except for the new fuel injection saws... right?) I am impressed that he actually has room to work on his work bench. I like that Billy's wife was referred to as his Bride. My wife would not let me say that. Never knew why. Good advice about finding your way in life, and doing well. The Bible says in Proverbs that your most valuable possession is your REPUTATION. And this is how you build it.
I commented on Buckin's video so I'll say the same here. Two of my favorite guys on KZread, both genuinely good people. Truly enjoyed watching y'all hanging out!!
The amount of good thought, love and humble knowledge these two men have put on youtube is absolutely invaluable. It's almost enought to form a tear in my non-shooting eye. Thank you BOTH so much!
I knew who it was as soon as I saw the bed of the Merc, couldn't click fast enough!
next time your up in Nanaimo stop by the The Pacific Biological Station, the oldest fisheries research center on the Pacific coast. (1908). Catching the Tsawwassen ferry at dusk or dawn is a great if you can work it out on clear weather.
You two are quite the pair! Good to see you & Buckin' together!
The two of you are at quite different spots on the personality spectrum but you both bring positivity to us. Both in very different ways from one another but both very positive. Thank you both for helping make the world a better place. I learned, back when I was a logger to tune basically as you showed here. I’d tune the low setting though, to about 1-1/4 open and then once the saw was warm I’d rev the engine and if there was any hesitation right off the bottom I’d open the screw just a little and keep on doing that until there was no hesitation. The high setting was best done in a log but if you set it to get the highest RPM but yet smooth, and then open the screw about 1/8 of a turn it would be fairly close. Thanks again for all that each of you do.
My humble friend called himself an old saw-filer. Most of his business in later years was carbide sawteeth ground on a computer controlled all-in-one grinder. Before that though, his customers were often other blue-collar guys who complained about the price he charged. His reply was "Well, that's true alright, but I had to pay a plumber the other day and it don't look like my price can come down anytime soon" (of course plumbers could maybe afford a spiffy pro sharpening, but the warehouseman could hope for a discount.)
55 year old fatherless child here. I've struggled mentally and emotionally EVERY MINUTE along the way because of it. It wasn't until I fell into a job chasing landing for an incredibly humble jippo logging family that I received my first REAL LIFE guidance in my early 20s that instilled work ethic and morals that have kept me from EVER being fired by anyone. It's the only reason I'm not homeless today. You two guys are a true inspiration, THANK YOU!
So inspiring. I never knew about Buckin untill now.He is just like you Scott. Very kind man.
these are pearls of wisdom gentlemen. straight up pearls. thank you both for making these highly educational videos. please keep doing what you have been doing. there are generations that are in your debt that have not been born yet. documentation like this is invaluable.
Two of my favourites in one video, doesn't get better!
been looking forward to this. I love Buckin, he will fire me up ready for my day real quick.
I am Island born and raised, glad to have been introduced to Buckin' Billy Ray Smith.
Scott, I'm one of those (used to be) young guys that didn't grow up with a father figure and found both yours and BBR's channels looking for how-to information. Along the way I also received a lot of that information + wisdom that was lacking in my youth. As such I am very grateful to yourself and all the other YT'ers that produce content such as yours and BBR's.
The only celebrity logger i couldve thought of was buckin billy ray! he lives but a 40 minute drive away! perfect collaboration
what a better world it would be if people like these were in charge of education.
Two mentors shaking hands… you both have taught me things that have fed my family. A sincere thanks!
Two legends! Great video!
AYYY ITS BUCKIN BILLY RAY! He's a gem of a soul.
What a beautiful message there in the end, great vid guys!
Two mentors one show should be great 👍.
Thank you for that conversation at the end. As a kid, I was socialized as a girl, so I was never taught how to use tools or how things work, but now (at 28), I have a beard and pass as a guy. My dad was physically there, but not emotionally. I lived in fear of him my whole childhood, and I don’t think I’ve ever had an actual conversation with him. I just found my first chainsaw from a garage sale for free (string’s broken but I was told it works), so I’m trying to learn everything I can about chainsaws & how they work before I even go out and buy any oils or a new rope. I don’t know if I’ve ever been more excited (and scared) to learn a new skill, but I feel like I’m forging my own identity by learning how to do things like this.
Truer word are rarely spoken. The role of Dads is huge.
I had to pause this video 21 seconds in to comment. As soon as I saw the title, I got so excited because I knew just exactly who the celebrity logger was 😂 okay, time to get back to watching the video. How awesome!!! I love it!
I tuned in not for the saws ... but for the dialogue between you two and it was as pleasant as I knew it would be ! Thanks for sharing .
Thanks internet dads I love the content I'm a 35 year old electrician from Ohio and have been watching essential and CY for years for new knowledge. Billy Ray is a new edition to my playlist. I do have a dad and he is great he's a 70 year old retired construction worker and I've learned endless amounts of useful knowledge from him But when I don't know And sometimes I just wanna watch videos I watch you guys very informational I appreciate it.
Good stuff I saw the other angle on buckins channel, the go pro doesn't do great on close ups and details, thanks for sharing essential craftsman ❤️ ✌️
Buckin Billy is a badass bro
What an absolute honor to watch these two men with their craftsmanship and their knowledge of life. I am 63 years old, and I hope to meet both of these men before I die.
NO WAY!!!! BUCKIN' and E.C. did a video together!!!!! I haven't been this excited since Johnny Bravo was in a Scooby-Doo episode!
Thank you guys for what your doing! Can't stres that enough.
Great work folks. Much love.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and keep your videos coming please.
Great to see my two fav KZread “Dads” together. You both have inspired and taught me so many valuable skills💪👍 thanks so much for all of your hard work ❤
Thank you both for this series. Bravo
Love Billy, always makes me smile.
Two of my favorites! Awesome!
Really enjoyed this! Thanks to both of you.
Excellent. My sentiments exactly. Thanks.
Helpful and informational! Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful family Scott!!!
By modern standards, I should have every reason to be a wandering, career criminal. Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference - and I chose to take my father's absence as an opportunity. An opportunity to allow myself to take the best of the other men that God put in my life to fill the void left by my father. Every one of those lessons are being passed on to my children, because I refused to be absent for them. And yet, some of those learning come from the two men in this video. Many thanks, fellas! Keep up the good work.
Y’all are great people both of you.
Both of y'all said A LOT!! 😃👍👍
awesome seeing you two together
You two are so revered. Thank you for the love you give.
So glad that you two collaborated. Some of my favorite KZread channels.
This is great! Two outstanding gentlemen sharing their knowledge.
Love this so much. Thank you for all the inspiration
Real men are strong enough to be kind. Thank you Scott and Billy Ray.
Love you Two fellers! Thank you!
Great collaboration. Love you both!
What a great dad and teacher ,love all the great videos ❤❤❤,thank you so much.
This is the video we’ve always wanted Thankyou
Thank you guys. And very well said there at the end.
Didn't realize how badly I needed to see some content like this. Thanks guys you really made my day better!
Just not enough words. Thanks guys, it helped.
thank you Scott for doing this segment, it was very cool to see the two people who have REALLY made a difference together for a collaboration.
What a great set of complementary fellows. More, please!
Thanks for the information, I love that there is always a positive message within your videos.
This old world would be a much better place if there were more people like you two Gentlemen
Two fabulous guys. Been following them both for some time.
This was a treat for sure. Saw Buckin’s and was waiting for yours.
This, gentlemen, is what you tube was intended for….good easy knowledge with a spiritual angle. Even though that’s not the initial intention.
Been waiting on this one since buckin released his. More collaborations with you two would be great.
Chainsaws and kindness. Beautiful content, thank you!!
Brilliant show fellas! As always!
I could listen to these guys all day long. I really enjoyed the chainsaw tips & tricks and also the heart to heart conversation at the end. Keep up the good work Gents!
Two of the best on KZread, what a treat. Both of you are truly genuine in your focus. I was thrilled to see you go visit. I love you both.
My father was a weekend dad and he's still in my life but barely. Claims he had a lot of knowledge but just wasn't interested in doing brake jobs or tuning a small engine... What the 2 of you do is amazing. Sorry it took me 2 months to see this video.
I wanna cry. Crossovers of that kind are always the best. When two of your favourite youtubers meet...! Love it
Billy is a stud and his leather suspenders are so nice
Nice to see your adventures.... Greetings from Serbia
Wow! it's good to know there's still good people in the world!
Two of my favorite channels
This guy is a mad man! He’s awesome
Loved this video. Thank you.
These guys are great love watching your stuff guys keep it up! ❤ 💯
Great team up
Bought a new chainsaw today and I was thinking of the conversation at the end while breaking it in on some eucalyptus we lost in a storm earlier this year. Very important wisdom that I learned far too late into my adulthood. Some people would say I'm just getting started, but if I'd applied "You are your problem" sooner, I'd be a lot further along instead of still feeling like a failure to launch at 34 and clawing my way forward with what little resources I have.
positive role models, yes. both of you. never doubt.
The end of this video is very meaningful and struck a cord with me. Great video
Love Buckin' Billy Ray! He's good people!
My daughter is 27. I don't see her or talk to her everyday, but when I do, I make sure I tell her I love her at least three times. Usually winds up being 'bout 100 times...
That is a cool truck he’s got, my dad would love it.
