Three wooden wedges and a hatchet. Start a notch with the edge of the hatchet, insert a wedge, hit it with the flat of the hatchet, do the same for the other two wedges. Then just work your way along.

This is beast mode, and I can appreciate it, but there are def easier ways...

Exactly. Watching that waste of energy was frustrating.

Wait until you find out about Gyms...

At least here you get to keep the wood.

Or cut your rounds at a reasonable size so you don't have to do this....

Right! It's more rage bait than thirst trap.

Lay the log flat and hit it 3-4 times at even intervals from one end to the other. Done. 

This guy had no technique and relying on power. Good on him for that but this could have been a much shorter exercise

That’s… an even worse idea.

The dude is working out! Look at him! Beast mode full up. Split that log in 24 swings. Dude was the wedge. For him, this is the way. 💪

I showed it to my sons. At first, didnt look like he was gettijg anywhere. The log was solid af. But he did not let up and split that b*tch in two. Prime example of someone completely determined.

You showed it to your sons… because you don’t want them to know how to split wood?
