<p>While car camping this past weekend, I bought some firewood from the park headquarters but unfortunately, it was split into very large pieces that obviously wouldn't light very well. I tried splitting it by using a hatchet and another log to hit it, but this wood was very hard and not splitting using this method. That said, I've always been hesitant to use a hatchet with full swinging power, which is probably what this log needed.</p> <p>What is a safe and effective method for splitting hard firewood logs using a hatchet?</p> <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Y4X2ym.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Y4X2ym.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
