Priceless! Thank you!

[@patvogt1106]

The double stump setup is a brilliant idea. Thank you!

This is no joke. Appreciate your stern manner 🪵

Nice tip thanks

Never heard about the 2 stumps. For an inexperienced person, the type of wood can make a difference. White birch is much easier than yellow birch! Thanks for the video.

Great advice Lisa! Looking forward to Part 2.

Hey Lisa! May I recommend figuring out how to upload 1080p footage? These videos will live for decades and it would be good to get that figured out now

[@Mainepolingguide]

Luke, can I do this on an iPhone 13 pro? I know what you mean about the film quality lasting especially since the shots are all outdoors for the most part. I just don’t know how. Teaching or doing the skill isn’t nearly as hard as filming it. I’m usually filming by myself, and in the beginning it would take me an hour and a half to film 3 minutes. If it is possible on an iPhone and there is a step by step, I’d be grateful.

@@Mainepolingguide An iPhone 13 Pro will record 4K@60FPS which is even quite a bit better than 1080P@30FPS. When you edit this footage make sure your timeline is set to 1080P@30FPS at a minimum and 4K@60 FPS if your compute can handle it. You may also be able to do all edits directly on the iPhone at full quality but that's an area I don't have experience with.

[@LukePighetti]

You have capture quality, timeline/edit quality, and export quality. Make sure they are all 1080P or higher

On my trips with a Maine Guide the rule was the “sport” sawed the logs into length and only the guide split the wood. The one time a sport disobeyed the rules he cut open his leg and ruined the trip. I’m 73 and still heat with wood in the fall and spring. The ax is a great tool, but very dangerous. While working trail crew the the Forest Service we were taught to cut with a two man cross cut. It is hard work, but it is hard to get hurt.

[@Mainepolingguide]

I love a 2 man cross cut. I remember watching competitions, if that blade is sharp, a line of sawdust shoots out the back on each pull, just like a chainsaw.

Great! Looking forward to the next part 😊

Safety Goggles... I had a chunk fly up and hit me in the eye. Luckily it was not the sharp side. I still have the eye

[@Mainepolingguide]

Peter, true that.
