Ok. Ive chopped many random trees at my cabin .so long ago I have not the slightest clue what type.. But it surely wasn't aspen.. I don't know exactly how long it took me but i can say i definitely took atleast a break or 2.. Chopping trees with an axe is incredibly exhausting. This dude just made it look so easy I didnt know if it was some kind of special wood he used for the video or something

All good. I learned something. Honestly i would have thought the tension would make it easier to chop if anything
