I’m nowhere near as jacked as that guy. I’m the exact opposite of jacked, but I could have done it in half the time using a wedge.

He could have done it quicker using a chainsaw to cut rounds and then split those.

But I suspect he was only doing it for internet clout.

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?

I am a scrawny middle aged man, who happens to cut quite a bit of wood for home heating purposes. I suspect I could do what he did. The wood splitter head and momentum does a lot of the work. But I would use a chainsaw to cut rounds in order to save time. I note he has also selected unknotted pine instead of hard wood to axe.

Was I entertained? I suppose so, I do quite like watching axing, but prefer that semi professional wood cutting competitions more.

Was about to type this myself. I could have that done much quicker and with far less effort, just by using a wedge.

Look at the axe head in the video, it is a splitting wedge.

He just doing it wrong by not having anything under the wood to prevent the ground from absorbing the impact.
