The tire, if seated well on the stump, will hold a full bundle of logs to be split and keep them upright, organized, and off the ground as you split them in half or in 20+ pieces. Easy to then pickup and move to your method of carry. Saves a TON of bending, soil and water on your firewood, and hassle. Our tire is screwed into a thick board so it can sit on the stump more securely, but that isn't necessary by default. Added benefit: if you miss on your swing the tire makes it safer and can catch the blade, keeping it out of your shin or ground! We also are now using a 'Kindling Cracker' to help make super fine kindling for fire starting. Searched on ebay and found one used, it's lovely for easy and fast fine kindling generating. The more well split, seasoned and varied firewood we have, the warmer we can be, the cleaner we can burn and the faster we can get up to proper temperatures. It's so important! https://www.paypal.me/edibleacres - A simple and direct way to ‘tip’ to help support the time and energy we put into making our videos. Thanks so much!
