Used to do this as a teenager in the cold winter on the farm I worked at, the owner - an old lady, also used firewood to heat the stove, she'd make us lunch but I remember even during winter being boiling hot sat at the dinner table, with the fireplace still warming up after a session of chopping wood. Good times I miss. "He who cuts the wood, warms himself twice", and considering the mental health benefits, I'd say three times 😃
You are a bad ass. I’m 68 years old. I logged 57 trees for my sawmill and cut what i couldn’t use in rounds for firewood. I started to split the red an white oak with a maul. I quickly realized I needed a hydraulic spitter. Lol I don’t look like you anymore. Enjoy your youth.
Did not find his poor technique relaxing. Grated on my nerves, overstrike so often. The collar on it shouldn't be taken as permission to punish your haft.
Great video, I love this stuff. Good quality! One piece of advice I would have to give is: Switch sides when swinging the axe every now and then, practice both sides. You will last longer and your body will be more balanced. Other than that: Awesome stuff man.
This is a thing of raw beauty. And so satisfying. Thanks for posting. I have to admit, I wanted so badly to be stacking it and busting down kindling for you while you were working. Brings back so many memories of farm work in the mountains.

I actually debuted with chopping up dry spruce wood which I bought from a local farmer.

I was looking for something that has sounds of nature, calming “away from the bustle of life” type of thing and stumbled across this video.
One of the best at the job I seen so far!
