93 years old and still cutting and spitting firewood.

Amazing. Only one in sixteen WWII vets are still with us.

If I can do that much when I am 73 I would be happy.

We lost our last WWI vet in 2011. WWII should be in the early-mid 2020s?
We owe them a tremendous debt.

My father, WWII, passed at 91 about 6 months ago.

Amazing guy on so many levels. First, he's not afraid of vey much. Most older people would be reading a book at 93.
Second he lived to 93! despite WWII and all that could have gone wrong in the past 93 years and
Third, he knows about Youtube.

A tip of the hat to this guy.

Great video, thanks for posting. I loved the statement at the very end.

I guess something like that saw blade is not very intimidating to a guy who was a paratrooper, but I'll tell you one thing, it scares the begeebers out of me!

Good for him. He seems very happy doing what he is doing -- and that is the most important thing.

My back is killing me just watching him. I would love to shake this man hand and he could probably crush it if he wanted to. He's got all my respect.

He doesn't seem bothered by the cold either. For a lot of that video I thought he was doing this in the fall when it might be warmer, or in a place where winters are warmer, but when the camera pans out near the end of the splitting part, you can see that the pond behind him is frozen over. But he's wearing what, a flannel shirt over a t-shirt?

Tough old guy. Any ideas where he lives (to get an idea of the climate he's doing that in).

This world could use more men like James Martin!!!!
