Yep something about splitting wood that makes a man feel like a man, I think that's why it appeals to teen boys. These days there is so little a young man can do to prove his strength and prowess and I have found that handing a teen an axe and giving a little guidance lets them show off a bit, provides some exercise and gets something useful accomplished.

Oh my goodness! Reminds me of the elm I was trying to split.... Needless to say I immediately stopped selecting elm for firewood... Many people hear softwood and think easy to split and hardwood difficult to split. I find the ash, maple, beech, cherry and oak super easy to split. The hardest wood I've tried to split is elm, pine, knotty cedar and a certain type of really string oak! I find hardwood is for the most part easy to split with some exceptions. This balsam is stringy and tuff... Get all the boys from the local gym to try 3 to 4 hours of this!

Buckin you spoke the truth. I use to workout all the time then I took a break to start doing wood. Now three years have gone by and no weights... Just fallen, Buckin, dragging and carrying logs to trailer and then hand splitting all summer.... Nothing like it for a workout... You begin to enjoy the sweat and it cleans the pores... It gets the testosterone flowing and when you take a break at end of day you are able to enjoy and appreciate the work and rest. Buckin knows what he is talking about for sure. Thanks Buckin!

You ain’t ever had a hard time chopping wood until you encounter a sweet gum tree. The wood grows in a spiral and is super stringy. We never were able to split it with an axe or maul and when we got out the log splitter it bit in and twisted the log over 90 degrees and get stuck...

I've been changed, I want to TESTIFY, LORD, LET ME TESTIFY, a slogan on BB Ray's Tee-shirt years ago said something like ' Be Kind' which along with others nudges changed me a bit. Now today a young lady out in public was wearing a Tee-shirt with writing to say 'When you get up in the morning, share a little kindness.' So enough already you Do-Gooders you. I get it. The fact of the matter more often than before I find my self floating away from the situation by a few feet to size things up and consider my neighbor. Funny to me. Funny huh? Be well, I have to go pick some flowers or something - screw it how about a beer. But, be kind.

My granddad allways used to say that stuff is like nailed together and I think he was right. It was a real exception when he split wood like that with the axe. Wedges and sledge hammer allways worked well and I went on with that philosophie. One time we had a piece that was to heavy to put on the borrowed wood splitter so we wanted to split it in half first. There were so many knots in it that we could not get it apart. I went into the crack with the chainsaw and just cut the knots. Looking back at it it might have been the best to put it back where it came from. For a long time the only firewood my grandparents could get onto where big stumps which were ripped out of the ground for a military land clearing. I wasn't born back then, but splitting that stuff just with hammer, wedges, axes and prybars probably wasn't that big of a fun.

That's the way my dad taught me 50 yes ago. Flick that axe just before it hits the wood and it's all good! 😀. BTW, he also said it was easier to split from the top of the wood. Thought I might pass that on and see if you see a difference. Although, we were splitting oaks, hickory, and some southern pines (Tennessee). Your type of wood may be totally different. Thanks for taking the time to teach what you know!!

I had to pause the video just shy of 2 minutes in to comment. I just watched your live feed from beginning to end and now I am watching this. I enjoy your messages of encouragement. I use to run a landscaping business before I hurt my back, my back is why I don't do it anymore but I miss it a lot. Not so much the hard work but the feeling of freedom working for myself. Every now and then I run a peace of equipment just to see if I can but I end up quitting after less than 30 minutes from the pain. Keep up the great videos and the great message. it's really uplifting.
