How do you remove a tree stump once you’ve cut the tree down?

Burn it with a lighter, fire drill, or something like that. I think you can do it with a shovel too

Same way you got rid of the trunk. Cut trunk into logs, just use it on the stump. If you have light you may even get another log out of it though mostly it’s just splintered wood.
