When it’s time to clear your land, whether it be for your bug-out shelter or simply wanting to get rid of that annoyance in the front of backyard, you pretty much can expect it to take a day or two. In this case we are talking about tree stumps, and anyone who has ever dug one out knows it is a pain in the backside.
For the most part we just hate it because it means bringing out the heavy axe, shovel, and possibly a dangerous pick. And we haven’t even mentioned a couple of pals to help with the heavy labor – maybe one with a good wood chipper – to get it done.
However, there are easier ways and one of the best is over on the video on the next page.
We love this idea and can now see it as the choice for any outdoorsman who might want to make their lives just a little bit easier.
No, it may not be the workout you normally get when removing a stump but if you want that go to the gym!

This kind of makes me laugh. I wish my neighbor had seen this a month ago. He burned his stump for 2 solid days. Then he took an ax to the remaining roots.
Wish there was a video
Tannerite to the rescue!

I take a tree stump and cook on it four or five times before it’s gone, why waste it?
Its understandable that pages like this survives on clicks and page access, adverts and stuff but it is frankly annoying and not at all interesting. If you want an audience, just put the things as it need to be as this multi page tactics is so 2013… and it does not work anymore…
Unfollowed BTW. Good luck!

I work in the timber harvesting/tree care field the best way to remove the stump is either with a stump grinder or by drilling holes and injecting it with stomp remover and letting it rot out
put a steel drum over it and burn it out, open flames can be dangerous
It’s illegal to use dynamite isn’t it?
Also illegal to use battery acid like they USE to

Really my Dad did this back in the 60s I still do it that way 56 yrs later.WTH?
I devised a simple way. No burning, blasting, digging, drilling, or salt required. 1. Cut stump as close to the ground as possible. 2. Draw a square inside the stump. 3. Use end of chainsaw to cut straight down along the lines. 4. Use a pry bar. Stick pry bar into cut you just made and pry out the outside of stump on all four sides. A square stump is left with room around the edges. 5. Again using the end of the chainsaw cut inward and down at an angle on one side of remaining stump and then from the opposite direction to get stump below ground level. Then just cover with dirt. I’ve done this already with two stumps and it works great.

If you already have fire ants, put them to work. A cup of sugar, and a good shovel full of a nearby nest, will eat a 24″ stump down 6″ below the surface, in less than a year.
Didn’t know that I’ve got a few around the house I’m gonna have to cut into and see what’s in them
After they’re finished, just pour white vinegar on their nest on a hot dry day.
Will do thanks
We use diesel fuel , let it soak for a few days then lite it.no side hole needed, burns for days.add a pile of stix on top and have a cookout.been doing that for years
Grow edibles over it
We had two and the cockroackes turned them into dust in less than 4 months…we didnt do anything to them
Too many ads on these pages. Unfollowing.

Larry Ashley this would be so much fun.
Dam shed!!!
Minus the fact that burning that is illegal in Manchester 😉 Id rather grind it away
Of course youd say.that you damn pyro lmao
Burn’em out
Dawn Garafolo Vazquez maybe we do this to the stump out back
The problem with this technique is if applied to the wrong stump will initiate a underground fire. Our neighbor started a stump fire which ended up following the roots UNDER HIS HOUSE. This presented a particularly difficult problem for the rural fire department. There were no hydrants. A fire like this can burn…forever.

You sure they were roaches and not termites??
Yup, I went out to check the stumps and they jist crumbled and tons of roaches came out…no sign of termites
