    Been along time since I use to split wood by hand but I burnt wood for heat over 20 years. That is alot of wood over the years but those days are gone just not able to do it anymore. Almost 62 years old and have had 4 surgeries on my back. Seeing this sure brings back memories of those older days though. It's nice to see someone that still knows how to care for and use axes.

    Good day Billy bucking Ray. Like you stated in one of your videos. I’m not to good with technology also 🤣. I’ve been watching your videos along side August’s. and I’ve been trying to leave a comment. Well hopefully I’ve made it. I just wanted to say . It’s absolutely fantastic to watch you and your videos ... for a young arborist like myself, ( 55 ) your information is awesome and let me tell you, it’s greatly received. The chainsaws the climbing the little tricks of the trade learned over years experience is just awesome. And the axe videos. Truly awesome. You and August are a great inspiration to me here in 🇬🇧 UK. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. peace n love.

    Sadly, NOW I’m too beat up from 22 years of Rugby to safely use even a small hatchet, but in my day I was death on maul & axe handles! I sure WISH we’d had CZcams & BBR, back when I was spending every available weekend, camping all over Arkansas, and enjoying real wood fires for cooking and just sitting around, batting the “stuff that’s not shinola..”
    So, understanding that different members of YOUR army like different content, please keep on with the hanging, hafting, de-rusting, and etc. ALL the different tools! (not to pay short shrift to the power-saws, they’’re fun too!)
    Anyhow, peace, love, & kindness to ALL, espec. the newbies! Thanks for the great tips, BBR, keep ‘em flowing!❤️😁👍❗️

    Buckin' I love the song Woodman, never gets old! I love my vintage Plumb and Sager Chemical double bits on good old hickory. I have a single bit unmarked I bought at a big box store, had a rough fiberglass handle on it. Beat my hand raw for ten years, until I was 27 years old and I rehung the head with a Links Hickory fawn's foot. My favorite handle to date. I also have a vintage 3 1/2 lb Collins, single bit with a straight shafted Links handle. I have served me well. I have split cord after cord after cords, with my beloved vintage axes. That being said I wandered off a little and found the Fiskars X27 and Husqvarna S2800 splitting axes. I'm now a hybrid guy. Fiberglass axes have come a long way. They ergonomic, great functioning splitters and feel good in the hands. Husqvarna fiberglass axes are made by Gardena I believe. I like the Husqvarna S2800 with a 27 1/2 inch handle and 5.07 lb head Its a great axe. I do like the hefty ones.

    Have watched a ton of you videos, and have found that you are an amazing person. I contacted gripo to get me a splitter like you have, and they do not ship to the U.S. dagone it. I live down in Va. and have 4 tall pines in my back yard. One is a bad leaner right towards the house, and the bark is discolored from the ground to about 8 foot up on the lean side. All 4 is going to cost me over 4000.00 to just fall them to the ground. I have sawed down a lot of trees for fire wood. I thought maybe buying the equipment and doing it myself, and just taking baby steps on learning the ropes, knots, using a life line, and the right way to climb and the saftey that comes with toping a tall tree. Not scared of heights, and have repelled a lot. Im thinking do my research and take 4 or 5 mouths to learn what I need to too do it safley. What do you think? I would like to see what your take is on an oregon electric saw weather it would be just to limb out a tree. Oh, and Im giving you a new nickname that you well deserve. BUCKIN PAUL BUNYAN.

    I wanted to ask if you’ve ever heard of or tried the Allagash Cruiser from Brant & Cochran in Maine? Also what do you think makes a good splitting axe? I use a cheap polymer handle maul for breaking up the big stuff but for making firewood size I think something lighter and more precise would be the way to go.

    Have you ever melted a bunch of parafin wax and dipped your axe heads in it? An old guy diwn the road swears by it. Supposed to help with heads getting stuck, the easy of release and maintaining the finish. My grandpa would wax his and a few guys around hear use cooking spray because its easy to carry around and apply on site as need be. Im just getting into playing with axes, mostly due to your vids and was interested if you had heard of these practices? Keep on keepin on brother. Neil from Iowa, US.
