More Firewood Cutting
When cutting the logs on the ground, I orient myself in a full squat. I have found this position to be easiest on my back. Bending over with the chainsaw tires out my back quickly. Squatting is also good exercise for my legs.
The cant hook helped me to roll a stump off the pile. Without the cant hook, I'd have had to pull the stump off with the chain and tractor.
The cant hook has an attachment that can be used to lift a log off of the ground. I am still experimenting to determine what method is more efficient. I can either cut the top of the log at each firewood section and then roll over the log and finish cutting the pieces. Or I can lift the log with the cant hook and also prop the log up on other logs/limbs to get it off of the ground and cut completely through the log.
I am ever in search of the fastest way to cut, split, stack, carry, and burn the firewood. At this stage I am sure that my process has lots of room for improvement.
