Using your axe the wrong way
Using the flat side of your Axe can be much faster than the blade. Often the blade will wedge itself into the roof and you have to spend energy freeing it. By using the blunt side it creates a wide path that doesn't trap the axe. This works excellent on light weight roof construction with plywood decking. Richmond, CA Fire Academy instructor Marc Lucero is demonstrating on a pitched roof with 1/2" by 12" wood slats. It is a great technique for getting through plywood on boarded up windows and door too. Don't be afraid to use both sides of your axe.
