    I love cutting, splitting, stacking, and burning firewood. The Mrs looked at me like I was a caveman when we first met, now she loves wood heat and would never go back. Fiskars makes a badass maul I think it's the x27 or some shit like that. Sledge and wedge for big stuff, hydro are great if you have 4+ cords to do quickly. As far as firewood drill bits go, fuck off

    I agree that the Fiskars X27 is the best out there. It is light enough that you can swing it all day but heavy enough to split a big log. I do have to resort to a wedge and a sledge sometimes. I like to do it myself at my pace. It is good exercise but more importantly it makes your fire better. No way am I going to let rip a giant fire on a cold June night like I did last weekend if I am paying for it with my hard earned payday lending money.

    I burn all of these two woodsheds every year.


    That's a lot of weight for a Chevy.
    Stood there boldly
    Sweatin' in the sun
    Felt like a million
    Felt like number one
    The height of summer
    I'd never felt that strong
    Like a rock
    I was 18
    Didn't have a care
    Working for peanuts
    Not a dime to spare
    But I was lean and
    Solid everywhere
    Like a rock
    My hands were steady
    My eyes were clear and bright
    My walk had purpose
    My steps were quick and light
    And I held firmly
    To what I felt was right
    Like a rock
    Like a rock, I was strong as I could be
    Like a rock, nothin' ever got to me
    Like a rock, I was something to see
    Like a rock
    And I stood arrow straight
    Unencumbered by the weight
    Of all these hustlers and their schemes
    I stood proud, I stood tall
    High above it all
    I still believed in my dreams
    20 years now
    Where'd they go?
    20 years
    I don't know
    I sit and I wonder sometimes
    Where they've gone
    And sometimes late at night
    Oh, when I'm bathed in the firelight
    The moon comes callin' a ghostly white
    And I recall
    I recall
    Like a rock, standin' arrow straight
    Like a rock, chargin' from the gate
    Like a rock, carryin' the weight
    Like a rock
    Oh, like a rock, the sun upon my skin
    Like a rock, hard against the wind
    Like a rock, I see myself again
    Like a rock
    Oh, like a rock
    Oh, oh

    I have soft supple thighs and a gas fireplace now.

    But back in the olden days, I favored a wood grenade and sledge hammer.


    I bought myself a wood grenade and this beautiful Fiskars hammer thing to smash stuff. The hammer weighs about 5 lbs and is the perfect size for splitting wood in combination with the grenade.



    Looks tuff but how do you swing that thing John Henry style ? Looks too short
    I swing it like I’m the god of fucking thunder
    So like this, but just way fatter?
