🪓🪵 Not Your Usual Firewood Splitting Advice 🪵🪓 Diversify Your Game

BE SAFE! Safety information available in this video link...    • Split Firewood On The Ground!, No Stumps, ...   Some thoughts and techniques on splitting firewood that are not the average recommendations. the more fire wood I split, the less I use stumps and the less I handle the wood with my hands. I also rarely set the splitting tool down. Using only one approach is limiting and not very fun. I recommend people add more options to the toolbox when it comes to splitting firewood and you may find that you end up approaching it very differently. Number one recommendation I would say is stop using a splitting block or stump for a while. It saves a ton of work to not have to pick up the wood and carry it to the block, or have to balance smaller pieces. If you don't use a stump, you also don't have to cut the ends very flat. Try hitting stuff just where it is laying in the pile or on the ground. it takes a while to get good at it, but it's worth the investment. Forget any dogmas you hear, the stuff that contains words like never, always and proper. Some have an element of truth in context, but they also don't apply accross the board in all contexts.
