Firewood splitting with tire

[@ricklichau9176]

I'm an old guy who learned this tick 40 years ago. Works great!!

Bloody ripper setup mate

[@Outdoorswithmike]

Awesome educational video was very helpful. Thank you.

[@TheRichtaber]

I have the same rig. I start out with the Fiskars 6 lb. Maul then switch to the x27 as it’s lighter to swing.

Yes to making biochar from the bark or just put it on the bottom of a raised garden bed, top with soil or compost!

[@Huntingcardz]

I like the idea but why not stack the wood on the pile behind you as you split it? That way you wouldn’t have to go back and pick it up off the ground and stack it later.

[@JaredHempfield]

I just threw it on the ground for the sake of the video, usually have the wheelbarrow near

[@JaredHempfield]

That stack is silly behind me anyways, was just for the video. The wind would surely wreck it lol. I put it all in the passive solar greenhouse to dry out and stay dry. Wood splitters cost money, might as well pay for the propane furnace but wood stoves are king when shtf

[@oldbloke100]

thats a great idea, thanks,

[@xavierjimenez8481]

Very helpful idea, thx

[@maxfaubus3116HiddenChurch]

Good idea. Thanks

[@Chasantnik]

I like this.

Great idea with the tire, but who would ever use pine for anything but kindling. Fir is bad enough. Oak and madrone is what we use around here

[@JaredHempfield]

Oak is $600 a cord here unless you live near placerville 100 miles away. Lodgepole is free, I have free pinyon pine at the new house. Pine is fine, just doesnt burn as long as oak.

[@Icutmetal]

Lots of people. Just because you wouldn’t do it doesn’t make it wrong.

[@rodgraff1782]

@@JaredHempfield wow, i guess I’d burn it too if I had to pay 600 a cord. We’re lucky we have plenty of oak and madrone on our property. I give away chords of seasoned fir.

[@GarfieldTidball]

great technique

[@JaredHempfield]

Thanks, I need to make a new video with this pinyon I have. This was when I was camera shy lol
