Usually just sit it on the ground.

I have a 2 ft length of telephone pole that I screwed a piece of old web strap on the side as handle. It's not the lightest item but it also serves as a foot rest or side table.

I’ve had good luck with a splitting hatchet and rubber mallet to drive it. I use rocks or the ground. Cheap hatchet so if it hits rocks and gets dull it’s no real loss.
I often pony up for split wood if there’s a camp store though, it’s worth it |

I brought in packing wood from my works aluminum bundles and had great fun showing my grandson how to split it .
I brought a hatchet and was lucky enough to fine a tree stump right the porch of our rental cabin . He likes the movie Shining and commented that we were “ correcting “ the wood . What a hoot . |

What the world needs is a log splitter attachment for electric trailer jacks.

I have a small 2' step ladder that I carry because my wife can't reach the cabinets in the outdoor kitchen.
I usually just set the wood on top of that and cut with a sawzall. Can you even buy unsplit wood? |

Yes, it's often the smaller logs, OR they only split larger logs in half, not quarters or even smaller.
Seems to be better at state parks with firewood sales, but the county park we stayed at in June had a lot of small logs and big chunks. |

When I'm feeling really lazy I'll use a little but of charcoal and wood chunks from Home Depot (made for smoking). |

  Split it like this Sorry I can’t read sometimes. I’d use another piece of firewood laid sideways as a stump in place of the log in the photo I posted https://paulkirtley.co.uk/2017/small-wood-splitting-axe/ |

Quote HistoryQuoted: What the world needs is a log splitter attachment for electric trailer jacks. I like your style. I just bring along a sharp hatchet and use it to split off some small pieces for kindling. Once the fire is going good, logs under 6" diameter will burn nicely if they are seasoned. |

You really don’t need a stump if you have strong wrists and are good at flick splitting wood. Watch this:

Esee 6 or Junglass and baton that shit.
No kidding It works better than an axe, is quieter and safer IMO. |

I have a full sized axe and a maul that I got at a yard sale for $5- each. It's just a regular hardware store axe but I don't care if it hits the ground and it works fine for campfire wood, which where I camp it usually pine or poplar which split pretty easily. The maul I don't carry any more as I have a smaller vehicle these days...

Quote HistoryI actually use this like every week in the summer. Works well and keeps me from swinging an ax/hatchet around my kids as we prep s’mores fires. |

Camp axe and the ground. Sorry to say this (not really), but anyone who can't split wood like this is better off not splitting wood at all. (Full disclosure: I heated my house with wood for 10+ years, cutting wood every weekend during the fall and winter months to do so. I've used powered splitters, splitting mauls, sledge and wedges, and regular axes to split firewood. If you can't use a regular axe for 99% of what you would encounter at a campground, you just don't have enough experience to know what is possible with an axe.)

This is the answer you seek. It works great, soon as my buddy borrowed it at camp, he went straight home and ordered one.
On Amazon for $45.
