How I "Process" Firewood - Simple - Tips

Description

OK so I'm a bit different, or as people in the South used to say when I lived there, "You ain't right" haha, so true. Anyway here's my simple way to "process" wood for fire that I use a lot of the time. Of course I show a little of our gear at Wilderness Innovation too, ponchos used as something else and our PD Shelter or fire canopy.

I'll throw it on there and get my meal done here

one of the things I always carry with me is a pair of leather gloves it's pretty easy out there with if you're out with your bare hands to snap something or whatever and get it get yourself a gash or something like that you can get it real you can get a real zing one that when that thing snapped the real stinger especially when it's cold I kind of hurt your fingers in the wintertime and never never stand like this and push towards the tree because if it's common for wood like this to break in several pieces and it will fling something right out you can get hit right in the head or in the eyeball or whatever you know so stand to the side and and this kind of wood you got to give it a good sharp tug so I'm just kind of I'm really excited to be out here it's a it's in the spring time I finally got up enough snows melted up here to get up to one of my favorite spots to camp [Music]
