Transcript
Have I heard of the tire trick? Check the pigment deficiency. You think I didn't grow up with a couple of old tires in my yard? I'm about to review using a tire as a wood splitting tool. Okay. So we got our old tire plus one perfectly fitting piece of wood. Let's go to work. Here we go. Alright. Time to get the end piece. Already got our main cuts. We're gonna finish it off with our cross cuts. Oh, two for one on that one. Fucking perfect. Fuck. I just good that thing up from down there. Damn it. The sun decided to come out. Here's the deal with the tire trick and why I think it's overrated. I understand it's nice. The rim of the tire protects your rank head from hitting the dirt. That's great. Also, you get to break it down into a bunch of pieces without chasing down every split, which is also amazing. But the thing nobody talks about is is you have to spend the time finding a piece that fits perfectly into the tire or find the time to Jenga a bunch of pieces into the tire to make it fit. And, honestly, that amount of effort just ends up canceling out. So tire trick. Seven out of 10 for efficiency. 10 out of 10 for white trash ingenuity.
