I like the string activated trigger.
On the menu this afternoon was curly willow.
This tree has been dead for some time and shat branches everywhere when I dropped it limb by limb.
Splitting duty fell to the Leveraxe and my $1 DBA, neither of which shined for this application.
Check out the rings. 12" diameter and only 9 years old when it died.
My friend just bought a new house that has a fireplace so I hooked him up with the wood. Did a @dancan worthy load into his Acura. Both trunk and back seat loaded full.

Mill 'em, nails be damned.
Horses for courses. There are times when bucking the whole tree where it dropped (or can move it whole tree) is great, while other times/scenarios it's a lousy option.

What the hell is it?

Why, it's life, Jim, but not as we know it. Hopefully the video further down that page of someone else's idea (that I simply copied) clarifies the matter and usage. I'll get a video of my MKII version when that's done and being used. Quite a few things I want to improve, but the concept is sound.
Managed to snag a small load today, driving around on of the fields and noticed a couple dead blow overs. Not sure what they are but I like them a lot, no limbs and 15" at the bottom.
All ready for a fiskar session, Nice straight pieces 1 hit each
Not too bad, only had an hour before it got dark

Oh I see it now. Pretty cool.
On another note, I have a lot of issues with this site. Lots of threads that I'm subscribed to never give me notification of replies. Plus I'll be looking at a thread and be unable to see current posts. Kind of aggravating.
If you get a notification there is a new post in a thread and you don't go to read it, you will not get future notifications from that thread until you view it.

Not always steve, this site never tells me when somebody posts in this thread......but it always tells me when I get a "like"

Yeah it seems pretty sporadic to me. I had National Guard duty this weekend and didn't see any notifications for this thread. I thought you guys were getting lazy on me with the scrounging.
Try 'unsubscribing' from the thread, then re-subscribe, choosing the option to be notified by email for each post.

Yeah that might work but I don't want fifty emails a day. I just want the little alert thing to work better. Not really the end of the world because I check thethreads I like no matter what.
I use the 'Watched Threads' feature a lot to keep up with threads.

I disabled the email stuff, when my phone goes dindong, I want to be distracted from work by something important, not saying this isn't important scrounging stuff, but you know what I mean.........

Hey zog I never thought id like something that small, but they say that little bullet really fly's, we'll see what it does to the chucks at my buddies farm.
Be sure and invite me Matt, got to break in that new 223.
The last time I bought a bipod it was a Harris for the 220 Swift, but that was 40 years ago. You will have to check out what is available now.
Speaking of chucks, we can let that take care of the ones that R a bit far!
