  Today's POD makes me think back to when I used to split wood that way.

  I learned here there was a better/safer way.

  Thanks QJ  Wink


I was thinking the very same thing. I use my Gerber LMF or mini K-bar and smack it with a small heavy stick.

  I like a small axe because when I go in my favorite time, Spring I often have to cut/split wood to get that dry inner wood for fires.

  I use a little Gerber axe. I lay a couple of cut logs on the ground and put one on top to split. I do the same as you, hit it with a heavy stick to split.

No danger of hitting your fingers AND if the log splits to easy, the edge of your axe or knife isn't going into the rock or dirt to dull it.

  Works for me but whatever works for other's is cool as long as they do it in a safe manner.

Many a canoe trip has been ruined when someone whacked their fingers/hand or foot whacking away with a hatchet/axe.

That's not great technique but I do enjoy splitting as much as fishing. I love the sound that nice dry pieces make as they are stacked too. All part of the experience for me.

Where was today's POD taken?

  Don't think I've ever seen something like this before where I've been.
