(Video) How to Hone Log Skills and Get Fit in the Process

log lifting

Our host tells us this is nothing new but he did want to show us all the proper technique of carrying a heavy log. He was lifting logs as a part of the Axe Cordwood Challenge and we find his coaching very interesting!

The way he sets up his body, using the pad, then lifts the log over his shoulder is impressive – and quite easy really. We appreciate his advice as well. if you cannot stand the log upward you should not be placing the log on your shoulder. AKA: It’s too heavy!

Yet, what was most interesting was how it was much easier to lift the nine-foot log over the six feet log. It makes since as he described it but, of course, you would think the nine-footer would be more difficult because it should be heavier!

This was a good instructional video and we hope to see more from this outdoorsman!
