One of the most obnoxious things about cutting firewood is getting my chain into the dirt and making it dull. Or even worse, hitting a rock. I have found a few methods to reduce those chances. In this video I will show you one of the methods I use to be able to cut a log without getting it near the dirt. It even allows me to drag logs through the dirt then cut them up without getting it dull.

I am using a Stihl 462 chainsaw with a 32 inch bar and wraparound handle. I am yarding the logs with a Ford Ranger. The firewood is for the bundled firewood business I recently started.
