Mark the Circular Outline

What happens here

To construct a uniform and stable circular (Holzhausen) firewood stack, you need to mark a precise circular outline on the ground. Hammer a stake into the center of your prepared stacking area. Attach a rope or a measuring tape to this stake. Extend the rope/tape to your desired radius (e.g., 5 feet as mentioned in the video) and, keeping it taut, walk in a full circle to draw a clear line in the snow or dirt. This line will guide the placement of your first layer of firewood, ensuring a perfectly round base.

Goal: Establish a precise circular footprint for the firewood stack
