Most Overlooked Tool On the Woodpile The Pickaroon

As important a an axe, a maul, or a chainsaw the pickaroon is the most overlooked tool for reducing effort out on the firewood pile. Learn how to use it and you won't regret it. A pickaroon makes lifting easier and reduces bending over, it extends your reach and saves your back.

I don't really do firewood, but this is my go to road rage weapon.

Piss and vinegar haven't heard that in 45 yrs. My dad used to say this. Brought back good memories. Thanks.

I've owned mine since 1976. It was made by a fabricator in a sawmill machine shop. Still has the original handle. "Home made" ones are the best!

[@warrenosborne6044]

I cannot agree more. I got one about a year ago, and it is the best back saver ever.

Love my pickaroons. I have a cheapo off Amazon, then a week later I found a bullet proof homemade one at an estate sale. I wouldn't do firewood without it. Picking up rounds, moving them, pulling them out of a truck. The only thing I don't use it for is splits, too tedious.

I have found the home made ones to really be the best for the most part. The one production pickaroon that I'll swear by is the Peavey 36 inch and that is mostly because of the handle shape.

Oooooohhhh I like the using it as a handle idea!

You would be suprised just how much leverage these things give you. I haul whole 8 inch trees out of the bush and back to camp to process. Whack it in the end good and deep and it lets you use your legs to lift instead of your back and arms. If i have the space or length you can dig it into the middle of a long length and lift it all from the bottom and walk with it. Seriously underappreciated tool

Awesome explanation thank you for the video

[@airy-mountain]

A light, narrow, SHARP ax also works well but either or, they are huge work savers.

[@MrSprintcat]

Cool thank you for the video.

[@robertdeebach38]

I use one for pulling rounds out the back of a pickup.

[@Thatsmisteroldguytou]

To be honest, I have one and wasn't sure what it was. Smh.

[@jimmyjunkmail]

I appreciate that video!! I have 3 bulged discs and 2 torn discs in my back at age 49 and hate bending over to do anything!!

[@clutch5sp989]

YEP....me too. You learn to do things without bending over OR lifting heavy things more than once. I'm suffering today after doing a storm cleanup and burn pile of a couple trees. Here's a trick golfers use to bend over getting their ball.....using the club for support then pivot at the hip keeping spine straight. I tried this and it's soo great being able to get shtuff done.
