    I always chop my wood in the lounge in bare feet with no shin protection, gloves etc.
    Two other things:
    1. Polypropylene handles don't shear like wooden ones can
    2. Use an old car tyre around the wood you're chopping - prevents logs flying around, speeds things up massively and saves your back from picking every single piece up off the floor.

  • @darktimber117
    @darktimber117 Год назад +1

    Top tip from "Not the US Forest Service", but a professional firewood processor:
    If you're splitting by hand, you want your block to be 12-16" tall . If you've got one as tall as he is using, you lose half of your splitting power by making contact before your full swing potential. Plus you have to lift the wood way higher each time you set it on the block. That may not sound like a big deal, until you split several cord per day. Then that little extra energy expense becomes very taxing.

    I was a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division from 72-76 and near my discharge I was thinking about becoming a smoke jumper for the Forest Service. And when I did my research back in early 1976 before I got out, I read that paratroopers are immediately disqualified from becoming a smoke jumper. I was told, 'The Army does it there way and we do it ours and never the twain will meet.' True story. So ten years later and I became an FBI agent. Bwhaaa.
