>>247857Shuuuu. Let the weekend warriors who know FUCK-ALL about chopping trees dictate how long it takes to cut down a tree... Cause hey, those lumberjack competitions show guys chopping them down in 15 minutes, so clearly some average joe who actually plans to USE the wood can do it in 30 minutes, right? Just like a kenyan marathon runner can do it in 2 and a half hours, so their fat ass should manage maybe 4 hours, right?
Again, this board is fucking pathetic. How many people here who are talking have actually fell a tree? Like a *real* tree that is to be used for wood, and not just clearing brush? I have, on dozens of occasions. I have well maintained tools, and the proper tools. I am a smaller guy(5'7", 135lbs) but also am in decent shape, and the FASTEST i have even fell a proper sized tree(2' dia.) was about 2 hours.
The problem is, idiots here watch a youtube video of a guy taking a 3" chunk out of a tree in 20 seconds... so nauturally they do the retard-math in their head that says
>Hurrr, 3" @ 45 seconds, and 24" to go, so i guess 20 x 7 = 140 seconds.... Thats just over 2 minutes! what a stupid lazy faggot, thinking it would take hours!Too bad most people dont continue chopping at that rate, and the tree is a cylinder, not a fucking 2 dimensional rectangle.
But hey, maybe i'm just a stupid, limped wristed faggot who needs to take a few 5 minute breaks between my barrage of swings...
And before anyone says it, yeah, i'm mad. Its a little insulting when the shit i do a few times every year gets challenged and called out by a bunch of assholes who have never fucking touched an axe, and base all their knowledge off what they see in those manly-men competitions, or bear grylls survival shows.
