There are alot of things one must do to be safe when out cutting for firewood. One of the first things to do is to evaluate the area you will be cutting in.
This is a picture of CP showing our son a BIG HAZZARD someone left, that he spotted when looking around the property we are working on. Here is a picture of what the guys are looking at ........Can you see the hazzard? It's really easy to miss! Exactly why it is such a hazzard and could easily kill someone just wandering around not paying attention. -------------------- Education is the key to the future,

I agree Lostnewb, one can get very careless by the end of the day. We always make sure we work just till were exhausted, never over exhausted. Nice chainsaw! Stihl is definitely the way to go I think!! A lighter saw is best but seems to me like they are all too heavy to hold up all day. Those two huge pieces are definitely big enough for chopping blocks. The chopping block in the last picture was chopped up into kindle and was replaced with one of the bigger ones. The other is still being used as a tomahawk throwing block.
A hydraulic splitter would be nice but one can't beat the workout doing it the manual way! -------------------- Education is the key to the future,
