When I was 19 ( I am now 42 ) I felt like I had developed considerable skill at collecting deadfall for our little overnight outings in the woods behind our house. There were usually 3 or 4 of us boys who had to constantly prove we had a better way to do something than the next one. After much debate I decided the best way to " bust up " the larger limbs into fire size lengths was to prop up one end of the limb on a good size boulder, and then lift the biggest rock I could handle high over my head and then hurl it downward with tremendous force onto the limb I wanted to bust up.
After a couple of glancing blows I finally delivered the mother of all impacts!!! When I regained consciousness my good friend Tim ( the only one not laughing his behind off ) explained that the end of the limb I had propped up on the boulder had flown up with tremendous force and smacked me squarely in the head. My friends then walked me out of the woods to my parents house where they all took turns telling my folks how it looked from where they stood.

I now own a Sven saw and love it!
Thanks all for the hilarious posts, it makes me feel better.
