Sunflower, firm mattress, side sleeper, big dog, .357.
Splitter
Axe because I have never used a power splitter. I never had a need for that much wood.
Left or right handed
Splitter, we split a lot of firewood! Ambidextrous!!
one wonders how much a lot of firewood is??
Ambidextrous, but write left, I was an axe man for years, but the joints prefer the splitter now, actually processing system.
Left handed. So the legend goes: Everybody was born right handed. Only the great can overcome it.

Side, splitter, Right hand
Not as much as y'all northerners, but 3-4 + cords a year. There's at least 4 waiting to be split now, but we will let the copperheads play in it a while longer!

Do me (all of us) a favor, and wear gaiters next time you go out to the wood pile.

We find rattlesnakes in our wood pile sometimes. We burn through about 8 cords a year.Not as much as y'all northerners, but 3-4 + cords a year. There's at least 4 waiting to be split now, but we will let the copperheads play in it a while longer!
No snake here, but I think I might go through 12 or so cords, I am going to keep track this heating season out of curiosity
I do!! When I got bit I was getting Buddy a treat out of the feed shed!
You can never be too careful. Closest I ever came was hiking in the mountains back in college. There were about 8 of us walking single file. The guy in front of me stepped over it; I stepped over it; and the guy behind me jumped back eyes as big as saucers and he yelled WHOA!!. A six foot rattlesnake was stretched across trail. It just meandered across the trail the rest of the way. Never coiled. Never rattled. We all breathed a sigh of relief.
To keep the thread on track....... would you rather live with snakes or bears??
Definitely bears. I would like to think I could see them coming, and I wouldn't worry about stepping on one or having it hide in the corner.
I don't recommend stepping on a bear, lol! I'll stick with snakes!!
Mostly right handed, but do several things left handed.
Don't mind snakes, but prefer bears

We have both snakes and bears and manage just fine. We did have a dog bit by a rattlesnake a few years ago and never had a problem with a bear, so I'd have to say bears.
