We chopped railroad ties with a flat-head axe, struck a large spring loaded plate with a sledgehammer and poked and pulled a custom build contraption with a pike pole. Two minutes at each position, rotating to all three positions in six minutes, wearing our SCBAs. There's no quicker way to warm up on a cool morning in the desert than a quick circuit with your mask on.
The satisfaction one gets from splitting logs into smaller, fire-ready chunks at the cottage is mysteriously absent when chopping on a railroad tie.
Striking a spring with a sledgehammer. Yes, those guys in the background have guns.*
Pushing & pulling with a Pike Pole.
*We were sharing the fireground with Border Patrol today. Exciting!
