Not only for heat but building their cabins.

You know, I mean, you gotta have heat to be a blacksmith, right?

- So the blacksmith wouldn't want to do the work on his own.

why not see who can chop down a tree first?

- What do you think? - Yeah. Okay. Plus I owe you

from going ice fishing with me in Minnesota, too.

- Yeah, you do owe me a lot. - Yeah, big, big.

- Peter Francisco probably would have had to chop wood

every single day, being a blacksmith's apprentice.

In order to experience everyday life during the Revolution,

I decided to take Nick with me to cut down a tree.

If they're smaller than that, we get two.

- I want to win everything that I can win

I want to beat Brian because he's the best there's ever been.

- I've got everything we need right here.

We've got our axes, safety glasses, some gloves.

The last thing that I want to do is let Nick Best beat me.

He's never beaten me in a strongman contest.

- So, B, let me "ax" you this. Which tree you wanna chop down?

You want that one, or you want that one down there?

- Uh, I think I want that one. - All right.

so I have no idea what the right technique is for this.

Turns out cutting down a tree is a lot more cardio than strength.

- It's a lot harder to cut down a tree than people think it is.

It's really difficult to swing an ax into a tree

over and over again for about 10 to 12 minutes.

and that's some of the hardest wood you'll ever run into.

Chopping higher on the smaller part of the tree.

that it couldn't be fricking four feet high.

- No, because you swing in a straight line.

- I instantly learned a few things about cutting down trees.

Number one, you don't want to chop a tree

It's better to go where the trunk is a little bit smaller.

that the ax would go into the tree a lot more than it did.

- If he would have asked, I would have told him,

I've probably chopped down 50 or 60 of these.

Maybe it's because he's so old that when he was a kid,

wanting to experience all things Revolutionary War.

And if they did this all day, more power to them, man.

I'll be collecting that within the next week.
