I am 63 years old and have been an avid survivalist since I was 16. I have watched thousands and thousands of videos on survival tricks and I just want to say that your tutorials emphasizing common Sense survival tips and strategies is as far as I'm concerned is the very best. You're a gifted teacher and I have enjoyed your KZitem podcasts thoroughly and as you say a chance and opportunity to knock the dust off when it comes to rehoning those skills. I just wish I had had a school like yours available when I was a young survivalist. I pray for your continued success and prosperity🙏 Keep up the very very good work; you are a credit to your craft.

The sharper the blade, the safer the cut, as it's going to bite properly and thus not likely to slip and cut something or someone by accident.

Nice! I would honestly add one thing... When chopping a log, I see people balancing the log on uneven dirt and trying to keep it from falling over before they can hit it... Super dangerous and I solve this problem by using a stick in my opposite hand to hold down the log I am wanting to cut. Great video though!

All good tips my friend. I notice that your axe head looks higher on the top than below, so it looks like it is inverted. Is this intentional and if so why? It makes the centre of effort nearer to the top of the shaft, thus extending the power point higher and destabilising the axe. Am I correct or not? Good video though!

Two finger bandit method. While it is ergonomic, this technique can open the user up to injury to the two fingers that are pointed down the face of the axe/hatchet. Imagine you are shaving some dry hard wood using the two finger bandit method, a long sliver of wood can be driven into the two fingers as you are carving down on the hard wood. I’ve experienced this myself, and it is not pleasant! This is why I recommend using a full grip if you have to carve with an axe/hatchet. Preferably a knife should be used for fine carving work.

I lived in the wilderness in the western U.S. for years. Most of the time I was alone. I learned early on that out in the woods there is no 911, no help. You learn to be careful and think about what you're doing, where your fingers and legs are in relation to that axe or saw or what's overhead. These are excellent tips to help folks keep having a good day in the woods instead of the alternative. Of course I guess worms have to eat too. 😱

Tip on number two: Don't have your thumb too close to your (three inch plus or thicker) material when you are carving or you might get thick splinters under your thumb nail like I did..... three weeks in a row. Yeah, third time's the charm. Won't be doing that any time soon.

Going to any junk store or like flee market.. assuming you have the tools, just restore one. I mean you can pretty much get what you need for under $200 and you'll have the satisfaction of knowing what you did to make it beautiful and effective again. Ps I'm not trying to be a smarty- I got into knife making not to long ago- literally $50 bench grinder, $45 angle grinder... bam two knives one old busted file- I can carve a point, make notches, start a fire with a ferroxcium rod- I'm able to throw a spark off of quarts too , carve cups, spoons, spatulas. I was just about as giddy as a school boy when I actually saw what I could do with just alittle effort. I went for a stick tang on my first because the handle of a file is more malleable than the actual working part, works great heated it and just stuck it into a squared off chunk of polonia with a hole drilled into it... I won't baton with it cuz it's not its use but... dry rambling.. just give restoring one a shot, you'll thank yourself later; and you'll appreciate it that much more- sorry for the book- and less than related topic. $5 dollars says you'll surprise yourself. Take care- be safe out there.

many times I've watched people making kindling sticks out of slabs off of firewood and grimaced. Knock off the inner core of a pie cut piece, realy good in resinous woods,. if wedge is too thick, do not,no not, do not try holding it. Straight up and down to sliver. Instead hold in one hand by laying it flat on wood block and walk it it good couple blows with back of hatchet and then leaving flat holding of stick in one hand and just ge tly split opposite end. If as you hit turn blade aa bit a day slivers fall to sides.. Old time grandma demand about building fire in wood cook stove. Want wedge shaped pieces place point down on e fire going. Points catches fla.e quickly; but wood last longer as largest part of wedge not directly in flame and your coals fall allowing g wider part to gradually fl onto them.. Works.great on banking your campfire afore going sleep. Place split ronds wedge side down and then large side on top wedge up. when camping or in active wood splitting breaks I alway leave are bit in the wood, no rust or oxidation on sharp edge.. And you always know where at. I DO NOT LIKE RAZER EDGE AXE WITH TWO FLAT A BLADE; I SHAVE MY FACE WITH MY KNOIFE AND SHAVE LIMBS WITH A KNIFE. TOO THIN A BLADE DOES NOT "SPLIT WOOD IT CUTS A BLADE EDGE WITH GENTLE RAISE IN THICKNESS IS BEST TOO THICK AND LIGHY HATCHET BOUNCE.
