Not So Pro 3

[Hundred Acre Wood]

I cut my firewood 14" - 16". Makes it split easier.

I cut 16" also, but my hydraulic splitter complains a lot less than I do.

18°F and snow this morning, so I spent today making a couple really long soft shackles out of 7/16" amsteel to use when the weather gets nicer. Laid out they're about 48" long and should be good to about 50k lbs.

Nice work. Does it need a special splice technique under the whipping?

No I don't get too fancy. The black thread is just a common whipping knot. It's not strictly necessary but I like to put it there. The nylon sheath makes a huge difference for durability though. It wouldn't last nearly as long without it.

But you have to split more of it. Burns faster in smaller chunks too. Looks good on you though! (Channeling my inner Dangerfield)

I usually have a few I made out of dogwood. Was just planning on cutting our trail into these dead trees....so I didn't bring any. Got the trail cut quicker than I thought, so the dead trees had to go.
