Definitely take the cant hook to the woods. Rarely use the jack stand that attaches to the backside of it though. I just roll the log over to finish my partial cuts. I learned rather quickly that trying to finish a cut through the log from one side ended up in a chain sharpening job later because I hit the dirt, or worse, a rock. While it forced me to learn to sharpen chains it was a quick lesson. My brother and I cut a lot together, we each take a cant hook and work the big logs together if needed. I've never used the peavey with a point on the end but my understanding is that it's advantage would be in yarding work or the river drives of yesteryear. +1 on the pickaroon or hookaroon. Very handy tool also in the woods. My old back has taught me to work smarter not harder.
