Your back cut should be 1.5-2inches higher than your front scarf to allow for hinge wood, you’re chopping directly into the first scarf which isn’t as efficient. You could also start your first scarf a bit lower to save more useable timber. This would be a safety concern with truly tall trees, as you can’t really control what happens with how your scarfs are cut now. Remember accuracy and angles beat brute force when chopping, 45* slope, open up a big scarf, and hold your wood (don’t just spray hits). Two hits directly inline with each other are much more efficient than 4-5 in random spots of the cut.
I was honestly pretty horrified seeing how this guy was wedging on both sides like that. I don't think he knows it, but he's basically praying that the thing falls correctly instead of some freak twist off in a random direction, utterly crushing him.
Fun fact about chopping wood, it specifically stimulates blood flow to your thyroid, which aids in the release of antihistamines, testosterone, and kick-starts your lymbick(this might not be the right word) system and promotes a healthier immune system, there's a whole study on how chopping wood specifically is one of the better physical activities, especially for men.
I get the same thing, whenever I have headache or something if I do hard work then it goes away, I think it’s because when your not doing anything your focusing more on what hurts, and when your working your focusing on work
It's probably because the blood vessels are tightened and when you work blood pressure increases to deliver more oxygen and it expands the vessels, idk tho
It's the other way around. Work=higher blood pressure=higher blood pressure because of tighter vessels= less pain Stimulants like coffein can have the same effect.
I'm a nurse. I'm guessing the reason is that the factors that cause headaches when you are sick, like in strep, is probably related to inflammation and blood flow. So when structures of the body swell, like your veins or your parts of your throat, when you're sick. It causes your pain sensitive nerves to fire. Nerves usually only detect change from normal. So when you start exercising, swinging your ax, your bloodpressure goes up. Your body temperature goes up, things like that. Now when the part of your body that's causing the headache matches in temperature blood pressure and things like that then the receptor detects less change from normal. This makes you sense less pain. Also you doing something can distract you from the headache also. That would be my guess.
Well, it releases endorphines (pain dulling hormones), anyways. And combined with adrenaline, it probably took the suck out of the strep and headache for sure.
"i don't know why it went away" Headaches are caused by blood rushing to the head, when you do physical activities it makes that blood rush all over the place providing relief as well as produces adrenaline which reduces pain Which is why leeches were common for headaches they helpped lower the blood pressure
They didn’t actually reduce blood pressure doctors back then believed leeches did but it was later proven that the leeches didn’t really do anything aside from cause infection
Oxygen levels have a lot to do with sickness. You usually start getting sick from the point of stagnation which would be bloodflow to your capillaries. If you can try to do breathing exercises around sunrise and sunset for max gamma ray intake 🫶🏽
The reason is, when you are swinging the ax, your heart is pumping the blood faster, that's to get oxygen to the muscles quick, and when the heart does that it makes the blood thinner, so the headache went away cause of the thin blood, and the sore throat went away because the fast moving blood got the white blood cells to it quicker so they could take care of it.
I have chroic migraines and a lot of the time i just have to get up and move around to make the migraine more manageable so it could just be that you were moving, not sure about the strep throat though.
Wow. I have the exact opposite. I get migraines as well, but if I keep my movements to a minimum, it doesn't even hurt that bad and goes away in half a day. But if I keep moving, I'll actually be sick with pain for a day or more
The physical act of swinging something into an object real hard is just all around good for you. Not sure how or why but I never feel better than after a 10 hour day of clearing brush with my machete.
Movement gets your immune system pumping, literally, and helps circulate your blood much faster. Also physical work like that gets your lungs working harder and being outside helps clear your lungs and sinuses as long as you don't have allergies. I worked on a farm for over a year and during that time I was never sick. Went back to working inside and got sick within a month.
I still got my great grandfather's ax from 1876 I just replaced the head and handle recently and it looks brand new, he would be so proud to see it. I don't think I'll take a chance and ever chop anything with it.
When I train bagwork, if I'm not severely ill, it helps kind of get rid of a lot of the sick feeling. It didn't when I had pneumonia recently, but that was also in part to not recovering and having a pretty solid fever.
I noticed that too when I had it. Strep is a bacterial infection of the throat and tonsils, there's lots of blood flowing through your neck, saliva and heavy breathing will get that bacteria moving everywhere. After you settle down it will bog you down again until you've gotten over the infection.
When you focus on something and really lock in, especially on a physical activity like this, it makes your system go and it starts to remedy the headache. And since your so focused, you kinda forget that you have a headache till you start to calm down
I think that the adrenaline while chopping the wood is the cause for your headache to just disappear, but I’m no professional so correct me if I’m wrong.
I think that’s cedar. The white wood is definitely white-white, but the heart is super red-purple .. plus the shavings on the ground look like cedar chips.
The same thing happens when I start cutting grass. I usually have pretty bad allergies in the summer and if I don't go to work I cough and wheeze all day.
Purple hard wood cam be an indicator of this being one of the 23 trees that make up the peltogyne genus which while most commonly found in the amazon has been imported to a couple of other places and is highly valued for inlays, instruments, and other woodork that needs to be both durable and is preferred to be a deep and pretty color.
If you were already on antibiotics then those are the the "reason" the strep went away. The reason that the headache went away and the strep started to not hurt is because intense physical activity causes the release of a bunch of hormones that act partially as pain killers, the main one being adrenaline. This caused the pain to go away, and the headache didn't come back because the increased blood flow and heart rate caused it to end at some point after you stopped feeling it. Source: I'm a personal trainer and exercise and sports physiologist. I also wrote this comment after an 8 hour shift at work at 11pm, so I might have gotten something wrong on a technicality. I'm also not a doctor, this isn't medical advise and these are simply my very educated guesses as to why this occurred. I am incredibly confident that this is why the headache ended, and still fairly confident I got the strep side of things correct, but please don't take this as medical advise. Modern Medicine is great, don't be an idiot that thinks just because people were in great physical shape in less advanced times before they dropped dead at 30 from a bacterial infection means modern medicine is killing people, there's a reason we live till 80 now
When you started chopping you stopped focusing on the pain which made your brain not notice it as much and you had an adrenaline rush which removes almost all pain for a short period of time
Even though there's a more proper explanation to why his headache went away, i have a theory. Back then, i was being sick quite often, but i noticed, that as soon as i start playing in PC, my headaches and sneezing just go away for the time I'm playing. It's as if when locked onto something(doesn't matter if it's playing games or chopping wood), your breathing and heart beat stabilize perfectly, allowing that pain to go away for some time or completely. If only that worked while you're trying to get some sleep...
Sometimes you get a headache from lack of oxygen. Usually when you’re not feeling well and sick, you are not breathing as deeply. Chopping wood is a workout and gets you breathing deep and rapidly.
You gotta understand the properties of the wood you are cutting, that’s if you are really a professional woodcutter and not just some kid playing in his backyard. Try and find out why the inner wood is that color and why it seems harder to cut, I promise you it’s real interesting.
That's a dangerous way to fell a tree. You should cut the back side below the front side cut so you're left with a hinge. It's much less likely to separate and kick backwards.
Cut the back side ABOVE the front face. The rise in between the two notches provides a stop for the trunk as it falls over the face cut. If you cut the back below the height of the face (and still manage to get the tree to fall in the direction of the face cut) the trunk will almost always spear backwards- often right into you
RE: chopping relieved your headache: the wide, open and repetitive movements of the muscles across your shoulders, back and neck from axe chopping replicates the effect of getting a massage through the constant opening, closing, flexing and release of muscles and blood veins. This promotes circulation and tension relief. Its why tai chi is - *should* - be popular among older folks: get the same effect without having to swing an axe.
Blood flow stayed constant in your body causing your headache to basically disappear and your body needing to rehydrate after all the function it’s doing basically numbing your throat from the lack of moister
So I get headaches regularly and I know really hot showers help take the edge off. From what I can find there are two possible reasons: 1 is that your brain can only process one form of "pain" at a time and hot water just on the verge of being too hot is possibly considered pain. Or 2 that the hot water pulls blood to the skin layer to dissipate heat faster and so less blood is in the brain area causing less pressure headaches. As for the strep throat? No idea.
Odds are there was a good amount of moisture in the air. Then you seinging that axe relentlessly opened up your lungs and loosened any remaining flem and mucus down your throat. The constant exhaling and inhaling of that humidity while your lungs were being stimulated by your excessive movement created a nice consistet moisture environment in your body. Thus softening your throat and because you kept at if for hrs it gave your throat enough time to heal. That's why they say if in the hospital its good to go out for a bit a jog or runna bit to build up your immune system.
I'm no doctor, but one of my relative was trying to dig a well by himself but all that digging caused some brain damage and later he died. I don't know the exact details of how it happened but was caused by continuous shock of hitting ground.
Its because when you sweat you sweat out sickness that's why its always important to keep going even when your sick if you can you will get better way faster
Strep symptoms are your body trying to kill the infection with swelling and whatnot. If you start physical activity, your body has to prioritize that over swelling your throat. So it's temporary relief
adrenaline would be my first guess. But I am not a professional, so I can't say for sure, generally though, the symptoms going away isn't always a good thing, as they are often there to protect your body. Yes medicines can help, and your body can go way too far, but you should be aware of when you do and don't need medicine.

You're right
Facts
It's probably because the blood vessels are tightened and when you work blood pressure increases to deliver more oxygen and it expands the vessels, idk tho
It's the other way around. Work=higher blood pressure=higher blood pressure because of tighter vessels= less pain
Stimulants like coffein can have the same effect.
Exercise releases endorphins which naturally alleviate pain. It is why people use to running feel crummy if they don't run.

Your sickness might’ve gone away due to adrenaline rush that’s my best guess
The cedar oil and moving also helps with the pain as well as deep breathing
Deep breathing absolutely, cedar oil not so much…
I don’t think that was a cedar.
Don't forget the crystals
@@JSOD88absolutely is ceded
Because blood flow from movement also the stimulation of both muscles and chemicals inside the body is therapeutic and healing

It’s because when you lay down your body uses energy get rid of the sickness but when ur active it’s not doing that sooo your symptoms disappear
"i don't know why it went away"
Headaches are caused by blood rushing to the head, when you do physical activities it makes that blood rush all over the place providing relief as well as produces adrenaline which reduces pain
Which is why leeches were common for headaches they helpped lower the blood pressure
It's also partially because of the adrenaline buildup.

When your mind focuses on something else other than a headache or whatever is happening it will go away
My uncle called it mind over matter, if you don't mind, it doesn't matter. It's kind of a joke but when you think about it, it's true.
The reason is, when you are swinging the ax, your heart is pumping the blood faster, that's to get oxygen to the muscles quick, and when the heart does that it makes the blood thinner, so the headache went away cause of the thin blood, and the sore throat went away because the fast moving blood got the white blood cells to it quicker so they could take care of it.

The RDR2 House Bildung song makes this so good
Hell yeah
I've always found that nothing helps me feel better than just getting back to work
Is that not a Cedar tree?...the terpenes from the cambium layer probably beneficial aromatic to your symptoms...
Usually, when I feel under the weather, I go to work within 20 minutes. I feel great. It’s called motivation.
maybe its the adrenaline rush of expecting that axe head to break off or the adrenaline of cutting down something big
Its probably adrenaline

Also physical work like that gets your lungs working harder and being outside helps clear your lungs and sinuses as long as you don't have allergies.

Maybe your headache disappeared from chopping wood because your brain is so used to sound being associated with a fun job that it became ASMR

Combination of increased cardiovascular activity and adrenaline. Also chopping wood increases testosterone levels.

That's a dangerous way to fell a tree. You should cut the back side below the front side cut so you're left with a hinge. It's much less likely to separate and kick backwards.
Cut the back side ABOVE the front face. The rise in between the two notches provides a stop for the trunk as it falls over the face cut.

That's completely backwards. The front side should be lower. If you cut the backside lower, the tree will fall towards you.
