Have you ever felled a tree?

[hostile]

Dang. Why don't you just leatherwork that onto a belt already... "Three Cords of Wood".

I have it hammered into a belt buckle

I was looking at the very same ax, I kid you not, just last weekend. Which size? 36in or 28in? Both my 16-yo and myself would be using it. I'm 6'1" and my son is a whisker shy of 6' even (the description for the 36" axes states that it is "Ideal for taller users ").

Mine was a gift, so I'm not sure, but I think it's a 28. I'm only 5'10", unlike the rest of you freaks of nature, but I'd go with the 36". I don't think it's as much a function of height as it is coordination. Regardless, the 36 will give you a faster head speed and more splitting power.

One thing you'll notice about the Fiskar is that it's not necessary to swing over the shoulder. You can just hold it above your head and bring it down with enough power to split most things. That makes blade placement a lot easier, so you can put it in an existing crack, etc. You guys will love this thing.

I felled a lot of trees two years ago. In the Wind Rivers, most dead trees you can just push over, especially when you have a dozen scouts to help.

Every spring. We have some wild plum trees growing next to our property.

I also spent a summer (between junior and senior years in HS) cutting timber.

I've paid guys to remove several trees from our property. Does that count?

I’m shocked this poll generated a real conversation. I’m also reminded that hostile is one of the most interesting people on the board, if not the most. Just never thought I would be reminded of that when I clicked on this poll.

I felt a tree once. The trunk was rough and abrasive, but the leaves were very smooth on my face.

I’m getting the 36”. I’m 6’6” and my son is 6’4.5”

hostile is savage, i love it.

I've cut down a number of trees, but never a seriously big one. I let someone else do this one for me:

Are you the paper towel model in a plaid shirt?

My nephew takes down the dead Aspen in the corner of our back yard:

I split the seat of my pants last week and thought of this thread. I guess I need to chop more wood.

That didn't sound right .
