    That guy's a beast.

    He has other splitting videos out there.

    Least he could've done was show the inside of the split. Ya know, the part he struggled to describe with words. Green cotton wood might be comparable but tougher? What's it burn like? Drying time? Seams there's more questions unanswered than answered.

    Based on his number of strikes in this video He likely threw a lot more at that palm tree. Some got edited out and that's why it looked "easier" & explains why he is so gassed out.

    Why would you? That's my question. Palm trees suck to take down, wasps up in the fronds and the closer you get to the base of the tree the more water spitting out at you. And you think you're going to use it as firewood? SERIOUSLY? So glad I live up in the mountains here. Sorry everyone, rant over.

    Oh yeah, I'm definitely going for palm trees now! Here in South Dakota we have a lot of them. I can't wait to take the one in my neighbors yard down. :loco: :crazy:
