Oh wow he isn’t even splitting wood he is just whacking at a tree in the worst way possible...
Yeah that's a job for like, a tiny handsaw that would cut through it just as fast with a fraction of the effort. Or even just better form with the axe. Like it's been a long time since I've used an axe, but I was under the impression you sort of unfold your arm to add extra force in the swing, then relax before impact to dissipate the shock instead of taking it all on your wrist? Also you come at a tree from the side, at close to a right angle, you don't wildly swing an axe overhead at a shallow angle. This looks like he's holding his arms at a rigid angle through the whole thing.
Hot axe advice (also from long time ago lol). he is hitting near the middle, where the rebound is strongest, so you either grip the axe tightly and fuck up joints, or get axe flying. Need to hit near the roots, at max third from there. Shallow angle is kinda correct (like 45 degrees ideally, to chop into a tree by alternating angles), but wrong axe for this to work
Back in my days we valued hard work and fucking stuff up cause there was no internet and we didn't ask people who knew
Yeah pretty much you come from the side and go at around 30 degree angles and make a sort of triangular in order to make a greater distance from the top piece and the bottom piece so you can control which direction the tree falls, also a chainsaw would make the whole thing infinitely easier but an axe does work :what-the-hell:
Yeah is he just gonna bash apart that living tree in his backyard? Way to make a huge mess without actually accomplishing anything lol find some deadfall or something if you need firewood
For real, we have fires almost every night in the summer. We just find pallets and branches and stuff. Wood is easy to find.
Maybe, we burn cereal boxes and stuff for kindling as well. Our fires are generally a bit hazardous.
some are, some aren't. There's different abbreviations stamped/printed on them to indicate whether (and how) they are treated wood.
A $40 electric chainsaw is one of the best tool purchases I've ever made.
When you grew up doing hard work but don't know what a splitting maul is for
Why the fuck is he doing it to that limb. Limb looks healthy, isn’t extending over the fence and looks fairly well trimmed. Why is he trimming that limb??! Fuck this guy, trees cool.
vaguely remember that but not well enough to search for it, would appreciate a link if you do
Oh yeah well my avatar chops wood in my favorite mmorpg, so think on that Mr. Manly.
There is something uniquely annoying about someone who puts undue importance on something, and then gets it wrong anyways.
I won't lie. I hope I have a friend like that if there's a zombie apocalypse.
I saw this earlier, that dudes gonna split his leg if he misses.
Also, i just got back from portaging for 3 days. Dude could just do that, but then he wouldn't have 3g to post his videos on insta or whatever.
I'm glad he's getting clowned on, because it pisses me off someone would go abuse a perfectly good tree like that.
