Why would you split the wood in a very modern splitter with a belt system and then drop it on the ground so it needs to be picked up again?
Some people allow the wood to dry or season in piles. But I see your point. I like to stack it on racks after splitting so using the conveyer to drop it in the bed of a truck or trailer is easier and removes one step of getting sore.
Call me crazy, but what is the purpose of the conveyer belt, unless you backup you pickup underneath it?
"The Hookaroon "......don't leave home without it.
Fantastic tool...I have 2 of them. 72 years and have been splitting wood since a teen and this is the best tool since the motorized splitter. Keep up the good work!
As the saying goes, "be kind to your body when you're young. You'll miss it when you get older".
As we say in Germany: "Your body never forgets."
I was a wild youngster and missused my body with no mercy, jumps from 5 meters, driving bike in the cold so that my legs, hands and jaw were frozen, having numerous accidents, opening beer bottles with my teeth, had some brawls, and so on, it all falls back on you when you get older.
I would never have believed that.
OH YEY--- It gets better with age! Ya right!!
Hi Adam's mom! You did a good job raising your boy.
Thanks! We love watching him grow into a nice person with good Hometown values.
The body-saving is certainly a great benefit, but don't discount the other reason for a pickaroon... reach. Having an extra 3 feet of arm length saves a ton of steps during wood handling.
I remember as a young fella older folks telling me I shouldn’t do what I do as I’ll pay for it when I get older. I wish I’d have listened to them more often lol. You’re wise beyond your years Adam. Great video, stay safe and Merry Christmas to you and your family in case there’s not another video before then.
Hey William, thanks for the comment. I’m hoping to get another one out either before Christmas or over Christmas break. If not Merry Christmas to you as well
I see that you're helping your back with the pickaroon, but now you need to pick 1,569 small pieces off the ground.
Suggestion- let the conveyor dump split wood into metal totes. (Yes it will be a little messy)
Use your loader forks or 3pt pallet fork to lift and carry tote to a wood stack area or re-stack into another metal tote.
Much less bending over.
Probably get 2x work in same time and much easier on your body
Absolutely! Man, I thought there for a minute I was the only one here who realized this. The less you have to reach down, the better.

We load all our longer logs onto an old $500 flatbed hay wagon (fork load with a tractor)
We saw into rounds right on the flatbed.
Roll the rounds onto a splitter deck.
Toss into a tote or stack for seasoning.
VERY LITTLE bending over.
69 years old and still cutting, splitting, and heating with wood, also saw milling. Y’all hang in there.
hi there i am wright with you john Merry Christmas
Same here mate, l’m 68yo. Been doing this for 30 years now.
66 here, doing the same. A little sore and tired at night but back at it the next day. My grandpa cut hedge and split it with a sledge and wedge into his nineties so I’m following his lead.
@@billsiliskie2518 hi there might be the only thing keeping us going . i hope i just make it to the nineties . Merry Christmas john
I thought Manuel labor kept the soul young?
Ok I’m sold think I know what my next purchase will be. I will be heading to your Amazon store when I make the purchase. Take care brother
thanks ben, definitely make sure to get that beautiful hickory handle sealed before you use it
I never had old man aches till I hit 60 , 66 now with more achey days than not. That Pickering will save yourself back better than the LogOX in my opinion. Thanks for sharing!
That's smart thinking Adam, saving your back now so you won't have as many issues in the future, great video
Best title of a vid I’ve ever seen. Also, thanks for telling me about this tool. I liked your delivery very much. You weren’t too fast, but you got to it. I don’t need thirty minutes of this info and you did perfect.
I would say the aches come at 35. I’m 37 now and things need to be done smarter not harder now.
Came at 42 for me. Bought a mini skid this year at 43 to keep up the pace. No more aches and pains!
I'm 42 now, the big aches, pains and joint surgery came at 39. Being in the trades most of my adult life and only having a woodburner for heat during the last decade has taken it's toll, mostly because I didnt wanna spend the coin on a hydraulic splitter, a grapple and a cant hook. There was pride in doing it all by hand. 6 cord per winter all bucked and busted with a chainsaw and maul.
Yep best advice at 61 i can give to the youngsters. Get the equipment as soon as you can! The maul and hammer have ruined my wrists. Barely can carry wood into the house now. No grip.
@@mikeadams2339 yep. Glad I learned the lesson before putting any more wear and tear on my body. I enjoy running my sawmill and would like to do it through retirement. I’m spending the next year refining my setup to minimize material handling and to do as little manual labor as I can. There is enough unavoidable movements that I’m still beat by the end of the day.
Yep puting chains on the tractor, at the end of the day i felt like i had been beaten up by a bear! So great to see these kids thinking smart and actually hearing what we are trying to tell them
Glad they look at the work area and think ahead so they will have room to work and store the harvest they they have wored hard for!
Keep doing research on how to lift properly and keep improving your technique. 40 year old future Adam will thank you. The hookaroon is nice but it also tends to get you into jerky motions. You're upright, but your back is in a slight twist position often in this video. Lifting weight with your back in a twisted position is really bad. Im talking about the kinda of damage to the back that can't be fixed...not just sore muscles that go away after a day.. Stay rigid and engage the core like your are about to get punched in the stomach before every lift. I wish my future self would have told 19 yr old Ed that advice 25 years ago.
Here here. I'm 30 and have been in love with wood splitting since I was 13. The hookaroon is cool looking. In instance of this video, where the wood has snow all over it and the pieces are probably frozen together, sinking that hook into it is pretty cool. I'd just take my maul and swing it like a golf club to bust it loose from the others. But yeah, it's all in the squat. Some pieces of wood are so big that hookaroon would only be useful to roll it around on the ground. At that point, you've gotta lift with your legs. Improvise.
Yes I was wondering if anybody knew it is not easier on your body. In addition to Ed's advice also split up the movements you use. So pickaroon some and also the squat and hand grab method a portion of the time as well.
The real body saving tip is to use your most powerful long lasting muscle at the start of work. So Use that brain and instead of dumping the side by side next to the wood splitter just split rounds directly out of the side by side. & for God's sake dump off that conveyor directly into something.
It makes the job a lot easier. I hardly ever do wood without mine.
Awesome video mate! Been looking a pickaroon myself for few weeks now. Estonian winter are quite wet nowadays and lots of logs are slippery and slipping out of hand. Seems like very useful tool with chainsaws and axes. Keep up the good work! Greetings from Estonia 🇪🇪!
Why isn't he putting a Trailer under the conveyer instead of having to Lift and move it again????
I process right into my dump trailer. Only have to handle the firewood once-twice if you count loading the stove.
Leaving it in a pile to dry rather than stack it, perhaps.
first thing i thought as well
He is 29 it will all change next year when he feels old at 30 maybe?

Great video! That type of tool is great! You are wise to take advice and improve over time. Suggestion: put a magnet on the blue colored indeed table/ round lifting actuated table top of your splitter. If you put a strong magnet close to your RIGHT foot on the underside of the table, [ right foot / right left determined when operator is looking towards the ram assembly] you could click in/ magnetically lock your picaroon into a vertical position and it will be exactly [almost] in the same place every time you go to grab it. The handle looked to be a bit longer than the vertical distance of the infeed table but the pivot point of the radial arc would probably be acceptable depending on where you stand when raising logs on the infeed table. In my opinion having a tool like that is useful and having the tool in the same place leads to better muscle memory , reduced fatigue and not tripping on the handle when tool slides around [ snow is slippery]. Great Channel, Happy Holidays!
Thanks for the idea. Happy holidays Adam
Yep, many of those aches and pains come from stuff we did (because we could) when we were younger. Age required me to become more efficient in what I do and to try to "work smarter, not harder."
30 years ago, an old timer from Maine told me "you can learn a lot from a lazy man"
Hey, Adam! I'm commenting through my father's YT account because I don't have one. My suggestion to anyone would be to do a brief warm up of the major joints and areas you'll be using hard and then do deep stretches after it's all over, preferrably before bed. A lot of folks like us who do hard work like this always preach about the maintenance of the equipment, but are not as in tune with maintaining the God given equipment he gave you that's the most ignored tool --- your body! There's proper ways to lift, swing, carry, push, or pull and there are also improper or even *dangerous* ways to do those things. And to compound it, when you haven't taken good care of your body for a long time and you find yourself being a stiff, immobile old man then the work you're doing to produce firewood is that much more damaging on your body. That's exactly why we've had to invent tool like a hookaroon, to get around our own infirmities haha! God bless you and your family, Adam. I subscribed for the ideas you have regarding small-scale wood production because I'm in that same boat to heat my house. Thank you for reading--- Tad from PA
Tad thanks so much for taking the time to share. Yeah it’s funny I’ve played sports for years and before every practice you jog, and stretch. But the second we don’t have a coach coordinating a practice we lose all common sense. Splitting firewood for an hour or 2 should be no different than going to basketball practice, stretch and warm up first. Excellent point
hi there have you ever animals like cats and dogs when they get up the first thing they do is stretch john
Yea save that back as much as you can now,I promise you will be glad you did.
Instead of discharging onto the ground, which then necessitates handling, why not discharge directly into totes?
Don't tip the load, take it off the trailer with your pick, you are not bending your back and yes put it straight in your container
I love mine!!! I just need one of those Axis.
Now you need some kind of “holster” on the side of your splitter to hold the pickaroon in.
Lmao old man aches 😂😂 just wait my friend. You need to take care of yourself. Eat right , get sleep. The biggest is Work smarter not Harder. Injury’s will change your life. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. Stay safe ps I will be ordering my hookaroon too 😜
Yes apparently I have 1 more year that will be old man ache free. After that all bets are off haha
Axe handles and shovel handles used to be oiled by natural means , by working . Oil from the users hands would keep the handles from drying out and splitting . This was a technique back before phones and videos .
Thanks for adding your store info Adam. I just went to Amazon through your link to buy the solar charger for my Dump Trailer that you showed in the video with your trailer. Looks like a good answer then having a dead battery :)
Great tool. I have one and the only advice I have is never swing it towards you and watch out for glancing hits to the log your going after. Can redirect into your leg or foot. I came close once and it opened my eyes. LOL I'm 56 and still splitting.
Way to go MOM! Yep i need a rune.got a leafblower just need snow. Nice video. How do ya like the foot control on the splitter? Would a plate be more comfortable for yer foot?
Thanks....I tried to get him to use it sooner ... has to be his idea ;)
Love the intro and love the splitter
I just got my picaroon in the mail from loggOX. Looking forward to trying it out
I need to put this tool on my list. Thanks Adam!
Now ...do you know how to sharpen it? Only sharpen it on the side the handle is on. :-)
When you lift up on the handle it will hook the wood.
But then you use automation to dump four to six times as many pieces on the ground, which you now need to bend over and pick up. The number one rule of efficiency and energy conservation is to handle the materials as little as possible. At the very least your conveyer should be dumping onto a wagon but preferably into whatever your final storage configuration is. So much wasted time and energy in your methodology.
I have a dump trailer I normally convey the wood into but I need to use it later this week and didn’t want to have it full of wood
As a 69 year old logger that still heats with firewood,, Let's just say,, take care of your back!!!
I just came over here from the Morgan's channel... after two minutes of my first video, I had to subscribe... looking forward to watching more...
Thanks, it was really cool to get to meet him. We’ll be posting our video of his visit in the next day or 2. Thanks for joining!
I bought a 36” Logrite Hookaroon based on Andrew’s recommendation. It has been a major back saver. Great Video and content as always 🙂
after 44 years of cutting firewood what I do since retiring, watch you young buck cutting firewood. Thanks for the video.
I like your new video today you did a really good jop today buddy good jop merry Christmas too you guys buddy
I have two. One is the Counsel Tools. Been doing firewood since 1976. Can't do without my Pickaroon's. Don't complain. Wait until you hit 50. I'm 67 now.
Great short and to the point vid.
Thanks for sharing with us Adam. Merry Christmas to you and your families. 👍👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
A hookaroon is a real back saver. I'm 40 with a garbage lower back and once I discovered a hookaroon this year it made a world of difference. Good on you for listening. When I was 29 I was too prideful to take recommendations, stupid move on my part, very stupid move.
I use a log ox most of the time. Logrite pickaroon sometimes.
I used the log ox for awhile but it is almost as heavy as a round. I now use a hookaroon for grabbing rounds and the log ox for rolling logs.
That's what my Dad called it, still have it and I'm 72, just love doing my own wood.
I heard an old man say to apply linseed oil to your tool handles every day for a week, every week for a month, and every month for a year. You’re going to need more linseed oil
Raw linseed oil !
If you want to waste a lot of oil and have a sticky tool, do that. Otherwise a couple coats to start, then every couple years is fine.
I bought myself a Forester Pickaroon for Christmas and an kicking myself for not doing it years ago. My back is usually an issue but not lately. I cut and split 4 cherry logs today for example and I’m not making any of my old guy groans tonight
One tip - I do this with axes and mauls too
Cut a disk off a log that fits in a drywall bucket and about 4-6 inches thick. It will keep the bucket from tipping over when you put your hookaroon in it next to your splitter or work area. Sure beats looking for it In the snow and bending over to get it all day.
Great tip! Thanks for sharing!
Glad to see your putting it to use Adam! I love my Fiskars composite handle pickaroon but seeing you sanding down the handle and applying oil to it makes me want a wooden handled one as well! Didn’t realize we were close in age either...you only got two years on me!
I’m used to being the young buck in the RUclips firewood game. Nice to see a fellow 20 something year old here haha. By the way my wife is from Connecticut. Couldn’t miss the stone walls and large rocks sticking out of the ground in some of your videos. Unmistakeable Connecticut haha
I found a Fiskars 28" for 37 bucks a few years ago, it beat the pants off my homemade one. My only regret is I didn't buy two. The tool is worth its weight in gold.
I also stretch several times during the day when I do any tree work; your muscles and joints will thank you in the years to come.
Merry Christmas y'all.
@@HometownAcres Yeah not too many of our generation are into this kind of stuff, nice to have a few young bucks out there to represent! Yes, the unmistakable, often taken for granted CT stone walls...they are everywhere! If you are ever back in this neck of the woods be sure to let me know and we could meet up!
You’ll be glad you used that when your my age, you are twenty years younger than my son. Keep up the great vids and best wishes for the new year from England
Hey Adam brand new subscriber here from S. Illinois. I just turned 45 a few days ago and have been helping my son Evan get wood for his roadside stand. I have been considering a hookaroon but haven’t really liked some I’ve seen until I seen the one you have. I will be using your Amazon link to pick one up! Thanks for sharing!👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Todd. I really like the hickory handled tool. It’s a bit nostalgic to me. The composite ones don’t give you that old timey feel
@@HometownAcres that’s what I like about yours. The hickory handle and the head doesn’t seem thin and fragile. Some I’ve seen on other channels seem to pop out of the wood too much. I was going to have my son make me one but we’ve never ran across one of those heads. He’s a little axe maker. I will just have him put his patina on the handle👍🏻👍🏻
After retiring from the US Army Military Police I worked in a veneer mill for another 20 years and was first introduced to the pickeroon or hookeroon in 1989 and haven't been without one since. I was surprised to see that you learned how to stab the wood with the grain. I have seen so many new guys giving up on the tool because they couldn't figure out why it wouldn't stick into the wood if they hit it sideways instead of with the grain. At 68 I still burn wood and pellets but after retiring for the second time I've been paying a 30 year old kid LOL to do most of my wood. I only wish 20 years ago I would of had a splitter like yours. And don't worry son those old man pains will find you sooner than you realize.
Thank you for your service!
You got all that right! thanks for your service too!
Nice video Adam! I recently saw the light too and got a fiskars hookaroon, after using it I asked myself why I waited so long to get one.
You just don’t see the advantage until you use one. I’m a believer now
I think I told you months ago you needed to use a Pickaroon lol glad you are finally using it! I dont leave home without it lol
Im 35 and its true you start to realize you ain't the spring chicken you once were after 30 or so lol keep up the good content brother
Thanks Matt!
Wish I lived near you. I would come help you split and carry wood for free. I cut for my parents for 15 years and miss it alot.
The fiskars hookaroon is the best hands down. Alot lighter that the wooden handle ones and the design of the handle makes it alot easier to carry heavier rounds.
@jared How do the fiskars hook work on hardwood such as oak?
@@khoidiep3943 phenomenal. Takes little effort to get it to stick in the face of the log.
Twenty-nine year old saying he lacks a "little bit" of experience, {chuckle, chuckle}.
In another 20 years you look back on this comment and give yourself a chuckle :)
But hey, none of use get to go from 18 to 78 without going through an amazing lack of experience!
Husquvarna Log and Ice tongs are also real labor savers in the woods and around the splitter. Have two of those 8in and 14 inch
In the interest of saving time, energy and your back, wouldn't it be more efficient to immediately place the entire round you just split, that is securely in your hands, directly into the tote (and not use the conveyor)? Perhaps compare how many pieces you can neatly gather, hold and place into the tote from the conveyor pile versus directly from the deck of the splitter when it's already perfectly positioned in your hands for stacking.
I was wondering why he didn’t have his tote directly under his conveyor. He is going to have to handle that pile of wood again. Somewhat inefficient. He also moved the pile, when he could have just went from the pile directly to the splitter. The less time you are moving wood the greater the efficiency.
LOL! You're only a year away from those old man aches Adam! LOL. Good morning - good to see you using something to minimize the bending and lifting from the ground. Wish you and your family a Merry Christmas!
thanks Gord, Merry Christmas to you and your family as well!
Cool. I now know about this awesome tool. And yes, always be open to new ideas. Even if they are old ideas.
I love mine! I looked at the log ox but for the money a hookaron is the way to go. I use it for everything having to do with firewood.
We call that a "Pickaroon" where I come from. A Pickaroon and a Peavey will save you a lot of time and pain.
whats a peavey?
Pickaroon has more of a pronounced spike to set into the log, vs a hookaroon that is more of a sweep. Hookaroons work better on hardwoods, like we have here with oak. Picks set really nice in the softwood firs and pines we have. And yeah, he needs a peavey.
@@jeanineeley2811 kool. . . So... what is a peavey then??
@@prohealthqw A peavy is a tool that bites into the wood when you lift on the handle. It's great for rolling logs.
Hi Adam's Mom lol
Hi!
What you need is a timberclaw/log lifting tweezer.

No need for bending the back, just a slight drop with the knees and hook two pieces on, one on each side for balance.
Hookaroon?
That's not what there called out west LOL.
Pickaroon..
.
The ones we get are made by a small scale black Smith and have a much smaller point. And not bent over so far.
We ad a small block of steel to the back side to take small dead knots off.
or drive a wege in the log as the board is being cut. To keep the circular blades from getting hot ect..ect..
Mostly related to large custom cut timbers up to 8"x12"s 26 foot.
.
It's an old mobile demention sawmill.
Sometime us Moms do know best! Believe me, I know what aches and pains are, so save that back for as long as you can. Thanks Adams Mom!
Yes Adam they are a great wood tool to get as I finally got one this year after doing the old style of picking up rounds and hauling them by hand even at 52 I'm doing things alot different now then before because it's hard to get going in the morning, so be smart and save your body for when it will mean the most...
You have missed another time saving and back saving feature of your wood processor. Use the elevator to load the split wood into a trailer to transport it to its final drying or stove feeding location. Why put it back on the wet ground? The least times you have to handle the wood is time and back saving labor.
Next try a LogOx, I like it better than a pickeroon because I do have those old man aches.
Wish I would have worked smarter when I was 29ish.
Nice video, as usual!
Old man... 30?? You cheeky mother... nope fair point, I put my back out reaching to type this :P
Hey Adam, enjoyed your video. Came here from The Morgans Channel. Good stuff. Yup, old fart, 63, yup, bad back, yup hookeroon!! Glad you found your way "home" to the country. I left for the country when I was 12. Haven't looked back. You will do well my friend. Great screen presence and easygoing delivery. Good content and music. Cheers. Mr. Mark at The Farm.
After many years of abusing my body I eat Motrin like tic tac’s glad to see you hake care of your body. Work smarter you have many years for pain. Love the videos love the face you are taking care of yourself great video
Great video. Don’t give up on that wonderful log lift. The more I see your Axis, the more I like it.
The more I use it the more I like it
If your in good shape once you hit 40 it changes.. I'm 52...6'3 200lbs and I split firewood here in SoCal...keeps me young at heart and in shape..you got a long ways to go kid
I'm 57 and my pickaroon has really saved my back. Bought it at Menards it's a forester brand with a hickory handle 28 inches. Paid $20 bucks couldn't believe I found it that cheap!
Because you're 29 yrs young and you think you are bulletproof and invisible, oh wait, that was me on a Saturday night........., anyway, save your back, your knees and your shoulders while they still work properly.
Nothing worse than wet gloves right off the rip. You’ve inspired me to split some wood this fine Sunday morning!
Get after it friend!
I've done this with axes (both single- and double-bit) for years. This tool would be so much more reliable.
Hey Adam. Over from morgans. Wanted to check out the channel and give ya a little support.
In South Germany we call it "Sappel", it is sold and officially named a Sappie. The word comes from the Italian language, a Zappone is a heavy hoe.
Mine is a very old Ochsenkopf with the very tip bend some degrees to the handle, to give it better grip to the wood.
This Sappel is a heirloom piece, I have it from my grandfather.
Some people just use a felling axe in a way like a Sappel, and it works - in a way.
Stay safe everybody, stay blessed.
Greetings from Germany!
I'm only 29 as well. Been cutting firewood since I was 15yo. Hard to believe been running a stihl and an f250 for 14 years already. Builds a boy into a man quick.
Put your table up about 1/2 way and stand there and fill it up... then step over and process that amount...then step over and fill your table... then process that amount... the less steps that you can take the better! 30??? Wait until 50...! 😂😂😂. I really wish someone would have explained this concept to me at 30.... we only have one unit...can’t go buy a new one so conserve it and protect it and only put great fuel and nutrients into it.., the combination of years of physical abuse and the bangs and brakes really add up to pain and stiffness... you are wise beyond your years, young man!
Great video!!.Starting a Homestead and ourselves. .(Minor Homestead)..will post in the future
Hey Adam- some folks are 35 and feel 70 from things outside their control. Suggestion for the shoulders, use a bicep when moving the logs with the hookaroon! I’ve used a fireman’s axe like this hookaroon to move logs when my back and shoulders just have given up! Thanks for the great video! Have to get one of these instead of that ole axe!
I've always used a hand hook. I love it but but at 63 years old it's getting harder to bend over. Knees and back. A friend of mine...wth..you may know of him. He was a professional competitor around the world on the American woodsmans team..recommended a pickeroon to me. I Just never got one. But gravity seems to be getting stronger each year. It's time.
Adam most people take care of their tools but don't look after their body. I'm 63 been cutting and splitting firewood since I was 8 years old. I do 20-30 minutes stretching everyday, never miss doing it and never had any aches other than fatigue from a good hard days work. What i have noticed as i get older is that my strength is going and I can't lift anywhere near the weight I could when I was young. The stretching keeps the body supple so you can recover from working it. I've had people helping me in the bush half my age or more and can't believe I'm not stiff the next day when they can hardly move. Look after your body when you are young and grow old without aches and pains.
I use the blower to get the snow off too!
Go mom you rock 🤩
Those "old man aches"??? You are not 30 yet??? Old man aches??? God How I would love to be 40 again!!
It doesn’t happen the moment you hit 30. It lets you think it’s not going to happen. And then, when you least expect it, wham! You make grunting noises getting out of an armchair. And even sitting into one. And reaching for stuff. And, well, everything.
Here in my country we cut wood in forrest into something called metrovica (1m long logs). We get it to the house and split and cut it there (most stoves accept 25 or 33cm long wood). It's less handling in forrest because you don't have to handle as many pieces.
Amazon sucks. People thought walmart was bad.....
I don't know what part of the world you're in but here in the Mid-Atlantic I've always heard them referred to as a pickaroon not a hookaroon....... and hi Mom.......😄
Ben using a Pickaroon for two years now and wouldn't move wood without it. 68 years old and still heating with wood........
That log splitter is pretty cool ...so much easier and quicker than using an axe ...Only down Side is you don't get shoulders like Rocky doing it this way ..lol
Why don't you put the EBC cages at the end of your conveyor? Save handling them again. Father Christmas might have me a hookaroon/sappie
Look into a log ox. Another back saver. I am 60 and had back surgery. Helps alot.
What solvent were you using to clean the handle before applying the linseed oil? Thanks. GOD Bless
I dont know what you mean by not hurting at 29, I'm 18 and can barely move by the time I go to bed 😂 then again I'm always ripping and tearing my back doing concrete and selling 100 cord a year.
