FREE FIREWOOD with a LOG Splitter

For that log splitter to work with the generator is FABULOUS!!!

[@maxpower1797]

That was so cool how that generator powered that log splitter, had me smiling!!!

Heads up Funky be careful storing logs round your stove. 2 house fires in my area in recent years. Stove surface temps can get very high and enough to start a log smouldering then ignite. Store logs in a basket in same room away from stove they will dry out quick.

[@jfilm7466]

In Sweden we keep a big pot of water always on the boil, plus some nice big rocks to hold in the heat.

[@craigd6261]

I have the same model of log splitter, and it's worth it's weight. It makes splitting so much easier. With some really dry wood, the pieces can really fly apart too, pinging across the yard!

[@Beefyfarmer]

I bought one about 3 years ago, very useful, mine has a flat moving pusher and a sharp wedge at the other end.

[@71josunflower]

I knew I wanted an ecoflow delta 2 but now I just gotta have one!

[@lyndajordan6479]

A good day's work there Funky with some excellent tools. God bless and much 💖 .

[@quinntheeskimooutdoors6234]

I have a splitter like that at my house. I also have a 13 ton gas splitter at my sons house and a 20 ton at my daughters house. Nice to have. Thanks for sharing and take care.

[@CHAMELEON111]

Hi this will help stacking the wood place the main cut side facing up , will remove moisture faster. Nice wood cutter and let it cool between uses as may over heat. Have a good en. Scott

[@funkyprepper]

Thanks Scott, yes I did give it a rest every now and then. Always look after kit 👌🏻

[@cbr600rrturbo]

I've never seen a splitter that small but it works, I got 9 cords ready for winter

[@norton750cc]

It is for snowflakes.

[@jacquelinejohnson7541]

How wonderful for u to be given wood for Ur fire ,what a kind farmer to do that,🤗👍🇬🇧

[@funkyprepper]

Yeah it's cost me countless cups of tea for him though lol

[@grdelawter4266]

It’s fun to see your excitement! I guess that I’d consider all those things toys. I heat my home in the US with wood only. I’ve been using a chainsaw for 30 years, I have 3 chainsaws. I cut my firewood 16 inches long. I use the tractor or atv with a trailer or utv to haul the rounds out of my woods to the wood yard to split with my hydraulic 24 ton log splitter. Then I put all the wood into the firewood barn 12 feet wide and 24 feet long and 10 feet tall with doors on both ends. It has ventilation everywhere. The wood sits on pallets. I begin using firewood in October. The last 2 weeks of March and the first two weeks of April I cut, split and stack firewood until the barn is full to the top! I only burn a little bit of firewood in April and May, but the barn full of wood is enough firewood to last for two full winters. That’s why I never need to test moisture. The wood usually sits for 18 months before it gets burned! If I get hurt, I still have firewood ready for two more years!

[@norton750cc]

We are talking hobby preppers here , I am in north scotland, I get 25 tons of long lengths delivered every 3 years, most is part dry, I cross cut a years supply every spring, and stack in ricks to air dry over summer, split and stack in the wood sheds for another year in the fall. Our big woodstove puts out room heat and is waterjacketed to heat water for radiators all around the house and on tap hot water. Only need a little electric to run the circulating pump. In summer we can burn wood for a couple of hours per day to keep the hot water cylinder hot, but we have electric element also if needed. No gas supply here. Have another 2 woodstoves, one in the lounge and the other in my machine shop, those both have cooking tops. I am more than prepped. First snow blowing in tonight, falling fast. No big deal. Tidies up the yard!

[@ukcanner]

Nice to see you getting on and the no quit attitude is amazing

[@MrBSAKing]

I love splitting with axes, I have a big selection. Cold steel make a lovely affordable quality forest axe. Forest axes are not ideal for splitting but will work. Get a proper splitter, especially if the power goes out. My grandfather always said you'll get warm twice, once splitting and once burning.

[@MrBSAKing]

A spear and Jackson splitter will be fine once you do a bit of work to the edge. The fiskers are good, but if you damage the handle, it's scrap..

[@350pauli]

Great video 👍 I use a Portek Charger it uses kinetic energy to split them 8.5 ton it’s instant back and 2 with levers I love the thing such a Labour saver that one you have there looks great too I think if your using logs to heat it’s a great investment

[@kjumper1]

Glad those glove liners are working out for you 👍🏻 🫡

[@funkyprepper]

Awesome bro 👏

[@peterpowell8827]

I twist boxes into rolls, and secure with tie wraps. About 6 inches long. Amazon boxes are great.

[@jfilm7466]

I always bring up my work area to table height as it's easier to jump out of the way whilst standing than kneeling on the floor when something goes wrong, and it will. Especially as you need both hands to operate it.

[@jacquelinejohnson7541]

That's good u have a machine it helps a lot ☺️

[@jfilm7466]

Wranglerstar has got a good vid on preparing and starting a stove.

[@rustynorthwales1445]

glad to hear your waiting for chainsaw safety gear before using one mate,iv been using them for 30yrs and cant stress enough the importance of safety gear

[@matt5106]

You should try a fiskars x27, super light and easy to swing. Goes through logs like butter. Fabulous vid. Thanks

[@pedromoonunit430]

I use an axe/maul. Can be quite enjoyable once you get the hang of it., but tiring if you have a big stack. May have to invest in a splitter after seeing how easy it it is with that small splitter.

[@guiliobarresi1808]

hi from llandovery got one very similar to that and it is very underrated , there is a air bleeder screw at the front which you must loosen before using or you can blow a seal . and it works much better without that pice of wood stuck on the forward blade had mine 6 years and still going strong

[@MrGerrards23]

I would sooner use an axe myself to keep warm and helps with fitness until I got to old to do so.

[@PaulBuikema]

Well done mate. Brilliant splitter, never seen anything like that. For a wood source, get in touch with your local tree surgeons, ask them to give you a ring when they do a tree removal nearby. Feed them coffee and everyone wins.

[@pigeonpaul]

Love it. It definitely works well for such a little machine. What more could you want other than a steam powered splitter.

[@hazelbrownn]

I think you enjoyed playing with that log cutter x

[@lorraineowen7978]

I bought the same splitter for my hubby a few years ago and it really has been a game changer, even I can use it. Think you can buy the stand for it but to save money a good table is ideal. 😊

[@craigtyler7028]

You can get quad spliter attachment to go over splitting end, splits logs into 4 saves lots of time splitting

[@richrode6520]

Look at your insta , bro. Iron Oak made in the 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸! Splits unreal knots! That’s a cute little kindlin maker. 😉😁

[@mikecohen2400]

Free is the best kind of bargain, with the crisis in the UK, scavenging wood is paramount for keeping cost down, and a house warm, scavenging is a chief skill of a Prepper. .

[@stevegrew6758]

Great stuff… agree about the chainsaw gear safety first! Tell us more about that green tent though…

[@excemptfrombs2124]

Funky look into the Hyundai 20 inch petrol chainsaw,I’m a Gardner and cut quite a few trees and this chainsaw would go threw them big logs you have with no probs ,they cost about £150 with 3 yr warranty,or look at pipe chainsaw same chainsaw basically under a different name (still made by Hyundai or Hyundai engine ) going for roughly £100,and in 2021 I brought a 4lb 860mm log splitting ace for £14 and it cuts through the biggest logs you had stored ,I’ve just checked they are £21 now on eBay

[@Shane_Marsh]

Great vid thanks for sharing 👍 Would be cool if you could push the wedge upto the log, then press the button 🤔 Stay safe fella 👌

[@jacquelinejohnson7541]

Oh my brilliant 😂

[@wanderingranger4208]

I’ve literally just run out of wood and Trying to source more for nothing is hard as I don’t have a trailer so it’s whatever I can get in the back of my car which is pallet wood for me but I’m glad you got that mother load that should see you right for a while

[@0macky0]

Looking good mate!

[@funkyprepper]

Thanks man, it's brilliant 👏

[@craig6542]

I suffer from cold hands also, always have aswel. I wear grib grab primerva 2 merino wool gloves, and they fit a dream, I buy M/L size 9-10 and they fit excellent, work with the phone screens, and you still have manual dexterity whilst wearing them. They are heavyweight merino gloves and good for temperatures from 0c to 15 c. I use them as liners when its colder. I have a pair of Highlander kevlar gloves. Dexterity is important if your doing anything with your hands with tools as loose gloves can get caught in machinery etc. They do a cheaper pair that are listed as liners but they don't have the rubberised grips on the palm. I'm really into gloves because it's hard to find a pair that fit really well on all digits, sometimes the fingers fit perfectly but the thumbs are too long and roll over etc. My highlander gloves are size small, fingers fit perfectly the thumbs roll over a tad. I highly recommend Highlander clothes. Nice tent funky 👍

[@DazzerP]

Good vid man ! The x27 fiskars are a really good splitting axe for the money. Nice long handle which helps take the strain off your lower back a bit .

[@WG1807]

I've already got a long-handled maul that I fitted a steel handle to (35mm pipe) several years ago so I'm ok for that size. I bought a Fiskars X21 earlier this year for use a s a medium size. I think they are listed as an L (large) size by Fiskars, the X25 being XL and the X27 being XXL. To me it's just a medium size, a nice addition between the long maul and a hand axe or kindling splitter. Gosh it's marvellous for plenty of smaller rounds that you don't actually need a full-blooded swing for and it will split larger stuff that's knot-free at a pinch. I like it particularly as I can swing it with one arm for those smaller rounds, but it's just long enough to get two hands on for some stuff. They are a good product for sure.

[@jennyh1970]

God is really being good to you thru many people. He's wonderful like that. His son Jesus wants to do wonderful things for you too. We've all done wrong. I pray you receive Jesus like some of of us have. You'll obtain life everlasting and a home in heaven where nothing bad will ever happen again. Love you Funky!!

[@lesterwhitfield446]

Split my word for 32 years with a wood splitter and cut it down with a chainsaw was lucky enough to go on a chainsaw course 35 years ago have the four-wheel drive the trailer a big trailer get it bring it home stuck dry burn there's no better feeling must get in touch a lot to learn and a lot to enjoy

[@iamaslavetonoman911]

I use mine alot..so useful....

[@funkyprepper]

1st time I've ever used one. Doesn't take long to get hooked lol

[@jimmorrison9356]

Just in case you know Santa, I want a power station for Christmas. Oh and he-man

[@matfrancis9007]

ikr swinging my 8 pounnd splitting axe is hard work

[@merlindeg7605]

My splitting axe and maul gets the job done. Maybe when I get incapable of lifting an Axe…

[@susandudley9296]

Excellent job done.

[@survivingthetimes]

I just split up a little bit with a wedge and a 20 pound dumbbell 😆

[@pedromoonunit430]

TheEcoFlow delta can surge up to 4600w, likely for a few minutes, so an extra 200w won't bother it.

[@jennyh1970]

Just make sure your clothes aren't loose. You can use a chain saw in what your wearing. Glad you got some wood. Hope all is ok.

[@nellbrown770]

had one of those splitters for a while, that big silver collor next to the warning label should have a thumscrew in it so you can set how far back the wedge gose, to save time on shorter logs. just watch out with hardwoods as the wedge can twist those two thin bars on tuff wood. great tool though 👌

[@iamaslavetonoman911]

Greetings

[@funkyprepper]

Lol

[@craigtyler7028]

Dont let people stand beside machine as the logs can sometines explode apart, it hurts getting hit by them. Try to get freshly felled wood, as it's easier to split, seasoned logs, especially hardwood, with knots, won't always split. I have 5 ton machine that got beaten by some 6 year old logs. Next machine will be a 8 ton splitting capacity.

[@pinetree9343]

Nice. Free! Question. Was it really that loud? Opsec Great test with solar generator

[@RJM1011]

Well done I have used two types of those log splinters and you can produce a lot of firewood even working on your own. It's a pity your not a bit nearer to where I am I would be happy to show you some chainsaw skills and help you. Thank you

[@Joseph_Dredd]

So how many logs do you think you'll be able to split with one charge of the Powerbank battery

[@iamaslavetonoman911]

Think il give mine awirl

[@jfilm7466]

Can you set it so the splitter doesn't go all the way back?

[@kristJ25]

I learnt by accident that very dry tea bags can start light a fire

[@DJ-uk5mm]

There is a depth stop that you get with the splitter so you don’t have to waste so much energy You can set the depth to the depth of the log …..

[@funkyprepper]

It's not mine, I'm borrowing it. Nothing with it here

[@Jalapeno_Chorizo]

Can you put two logs in-front of each other so there is no wasted movement while it is traveling?

[@norton750cc]

Toy wood and a toy splitter, you could have just said it was an advert in the first place. All the buzz words for getting more sponsors and free stuff to review. But fair play, go for it. I use 10 tons of wood every year, no other heating fuels. And am 69 yrs old, cut split and stack it a year ahead after storing in long lengths covered for a year minimum. Cross cut discs 18 inches thick..A good splitting maul is faster, but the odd one needs a splitter. Hope you get affiliates sending you stuff to demo. Got to eat eh?

[@WG1807]

They were around £200 in 2019 and even summer 2020 until the prices began to rise for all things because of you-know-what. You won't get one now, even these small splitters for less than £350 minimum and more likely £400. I wish I had bought one in 2019 after having seen my mate's machine - that he got for £150, being a window-display model in a Machine-Mart shop.

[@MrM3-8888]

It's cheaper to just learn how to swing a decent axe..

Should you be burning soft wood?

[@steveclark..]

Our ancestors burned anything that they could, you would too if you are freezing. I've always tried to do right by the environment but Klaus Schwab and his Great Reset agenda is just pure evil so I say stuff him.

[@jfilm7466]

Be careful, neighbour lost the top of their thumb with one of these whilst helping out.

[@janedoe6350]

I wouldn't run your 2200 watt log splitter on a 2000 watts power station for too long. Your power station is rated at 2000 watt max for a RESISTIVE loads. The electric motor on the log splitter may be rated at 2200 watt but that's INDUCTIVE load. There is a difference. The induction motor on the splitter will probably use 3000 watt on start up and then drop to 2200 after a few seconds. That could be enough to screw up your power station's inverter over time. Read the instruction book for the power station carefully and check it is suitable for INDUCTIVE LOADS... just to be on the safe side.

[@londonviking3801]

Use a bigger axe and your hands will be warm too...

[@r.m.8374]

Big axe same result.

[@rubblestacker]

Lol years ago my mother's idiot bf brought a log splitter, only the twat brought a hydraulic one so then had to go hire a tractor to power it lol only used it for a day , whatta waste of money , old school axe works best , keeps you warm twice )

Hi funky great video and nice to see the community spirit is going strong. I saw this video the other day, it popped up on my feed, here's a link (hope it works) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnW3qoJ3hN2ZoNk maybe you could use it some how on your channel. On another note you were talking about candles and not being sure if melting down tealights to make bigger candles worth the energy. I tried in in my over after cook, about 6 in a jar seems to have worked well no extra energy needed.
