Chopping Logs: Things To Know Before Proceeding.

“Chopping wood for your fire can be a potential disaster, but with a little preparation and knowledge, you can safely produce a stack of logs. Always wear safety equipment, and make sure there are no bystanders or pets in the vicinity. Your goal is to hit the log directly in the centre: a glancing blow may result in injury to yourself, so aim carefully. Never use a dull or damaged axe, and don’t attempt to chop logs at all if you have back problems.”
