I picked up a cant hook today...

Easily one of my favorite tools now.

I have the 60” and use it almost daily. Logrite makes them, and Stihl rebrands them for a few bucks more. They’re heavy compared to the original wood handled hooks, but I like the extra leverage of the 60”.

They’re nice. My dad has a 2 man one.

Yep. It is going to be one of my go-to woodcutting tools as a smaller-statute person who doesn't like hurting my back lifting huge logs all day. There are a couple dozen of those big oak rounds as well that you can see in the video.

For 2-man, do you mean a log carrier? I can't find anything about a 2-man peavy or cant hook.

I don’t roll firewood. I roll logs:

Yeah. He also has a single cant like yours.

You need the tool, Not the video. I don’t get it.

That is the point. It makes you click on the video.

got one of the older wood handle types and didn't like to grab the thick bark on the fir i usualy cut so I welded on another inch of spike on the leaver and shaped it- grabs now

Your dad @dall has mentioned 2 men but didn’t mention a cant hook or log carrier being involved.

Wrong.

Yep, I don’t understand. However I saw someone else said a YouTuber trying to hard in another post. It’s starting to make sense.

 

[Dicky]

This is a YouTube video worth watching. Now that thing is cool!

 

[cuinrearview]

I bought some toilet paper today, now there's a tool you NEED. I didn't feel compelled to make a youtube though. #sorrynotsorry

It seems to me like most of the modern cant hooks are geared more towards firewood rather than logs with the hook being to short to get a good bite on the larger dia logs, I have an old 60"wooden handled from bygone days.

Wouldn't hurt for the OP to practice a bit with the cant hook before making the video.
That was painful to watch.

I like my Logrite/Stihl cant hook. I’d buy another.. My brother (also a logger) uses our grandpa’s cant hook from back in the day, with a handle made from an Ash tree in his yard.
