Masters of their time! What i would give to bring one of them back and show them Harbor Freight

Nice comparison

I enjoyed the video. A Russian Evenk fire with 4 logs would be better than small sticks. It would throw the heat at you.

I always viewed the norsemen to be utilitarian, so I can see why they would opt for such tactics. The axe is such a multifaceted tool for both warfare and daily life that it makes alot of sense why it would been within their toolset. I've seen a century or so old video on scandinavian carpentry and the mileage they have with just using a single axe as a means to chop, cut shape, plane and hammer wood into what ever they need is still one of the most fascinating things I've seen.

2:14 what does "Naver" mean?

This should be preserved.. the unique tools used and the process.. in this mass produced sanitised world these skills are dying treasures many already dead..

l don't know why, but l feel that Undertale: Ghost fight theme suits as background music.

Awesome!!!

I wonder how many of the he made in his life time.

Anyone here ever wear shoes like these and are they comfortable?

For those of you who can't read Finnish: "The cinefilm department of Kansatieteellinen Filmi visited Tammela, Tuusula, Renko and Tyrvää during the summer to film the work customs and pastimes of the old folk. Six trips were made and twenty one different subjects were filmed, mostly from the field of old folklore that are already vanishing. -Sakari Pälsi: Kotiseudun joulu 1938 On the Whitsun week we were working at Muurila in Renko on an expedition with the Hämäläis Student's club of the Department of Ethnology. The old-fashioned work of the 80 year old workman Iivari Mattila was exclusively filmed. "The man of Rauhaniemi" was a real ethnological find and his skills were fully recorded later in the fall by filming his work. The performer was slow from his pace but skillful and above all flexible from his wit. The tasks were mostly unknown to the cinematographer or only known from his childhood, which made the filming slower, but at the same time more detailed. You had to constantly be alert and inquire Mattila before hand about the process of each task. As a sensible man, Mattila figured this out and started to perform his tasks first as a sample and only after that to be filmed. This way the "actor" was kind of the "director" too and the cinematographer was a receptive and wisening student. And Mattila never got tired to teach. When the work progressed we got to know how to get most shakes out of a log without wasting wood. We also got to know, that thin puukko shakes (knife shakes) withstand decaying better than the thick ones. During the making of a plotka gun we found out that the first requisite was that the heartwood was to remain untouched by the knife blade, from which we understood how important it was to operate the knife with utmost precision. While wedging the axe handle, you had to hold on to the wedge or it would have snapped etc. These and many other secrets of his techniques Mattila explained during his working. What a shame, but the audiotaping equipment were absent during filming and therefore the work of the man as a whole was not recorded."

So that’s how a brace is supposed to be used 🧐 excellent 👌 video.

Why don't you pressurize the bottle before connecting it? There is a shut-off valve out there. In this case you will pump more easily without scratching your bottles especially if you use a neoprene bottle cover. Secondly you can prime it with a clean burning fuel such as lighter fluid whose flames are more visible than alcohol's ones. By doing so you can use ordinary gasoline without any soot formation

Thx I learned alot

Thanks for conducting these tests and posting them up, Wood Trekker. Kind of like Mythbusters tv show.

Nice tools but you missed one: In this Video we tackle the age old problem with Trail Work: How do you get all your Tools to the Trail Work site?, AND How do you do it without leaving your bike at home?, Problem Solved, Answer: VersaMule,.... and even better yet, we get it done in record time,...Solo. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3i3p4eVgbCmqpo

Nearly a century old and magnificent! Thank you for uploading. Greetings from Greece.

The bloke in the first part has some serious skills. Loving the hatchet work!

6:22 😆😆😆

This was a great video. Thank you!

this really should have been done on green wood. Axes with convex cheeks from heel to toe have been designed NOT to stick in green wood. Green wood is primarily the target wood for axes - felled, bucked, processed etc to the desired rough shape/size for intended final use while still green. Dry wood eliminates most of the advantage of convex cheeks so you will end up with very similar results if not actually favouring flat grind due to the better penetration. Convex cheeks make better chips in green wood, making better progress through the wood, dry wood chips about as well with convex or flat grind.

"If you're still awake at this point" LOL No, I was thinking right before that point in the video that this is the kind of thing that interests me.

So can anyone identify the axe used in Friday The 13th 1980? I would like to get one in the hopes of having it autographed by Jeannine Taylor. Did different companies make phantom bevel heads with different lug shapes, with some being pointed and others rounded, or would that be a product of modification/wear?

Very interesting! All that being said the phantom bevels look cool! Marketing at work haha. I will say one other piece of evidence that corroborates this is if we look at modern race axes specialized for chopping, which do not have phantom bevels. I do think there’s an argument that with the phantom bevels you’re able to achieve different characteristics for a given weight (better splitter, longer bit, etc) because you shaved some weight. Just not sure how much of that was actually put into practice.

Ikea, the start up days

Amazing! Only a hundred years ago and it’s all done by hand. No electric motors at all.

Wonderful, thanks for sharing !

I wonder if this where the term wood butcher came from? Especially when he's getting down and scoring that log?

I would have loved to do this type of carpentry. Having 20 years experience as a concrete form setting carpenter. I think i could have fell in with very little trouble. Unfortunately, now my back and hips couldn't handle it.

It would have been nice to have subtitles.

This is why you always carry emergency gear, even if you only plan to be taking a day trip. This video is exactly what everyone needs to see. I would suggest adding a 10 X 12 sheet of plastic sheeting along with some paracord the day pack. It makes a god quick emergency shelter. Great video.

Filmed in 2007 lol. I bet that bubushka is a mean cook. That guy sure has lot of woodworking for someone in their early twenties.

Hello bro 🙋‍♂️ good vídeo.

Tack

A shame (and ironic) that this video is blocked from anyone living in Sweden cause of copyrights (think it was SVT?). But there's always some loopholes and downloaded it for later. Thanks for uploading.

Hi, I don't understand how your experiment supports your theory. You say that you found the beveled axes did not release or chip better than the wedge-axes (do you have a link to that video, btw?), yet that such bevels were originally functional, rather than aesthetic.

Hi Ross I hope you're well, Thank you for all the help I've got from your videos and trip reports from your blog. Your kit mentality helped me clear my head from all the noise I've got from bushcraft and hiking forums. The modern woodsman you describe on your blog, as acting in today's context and laws with todays materials and means, is the best down to earth approach I've come across. The principles you set and follow are full of logic and common sense (but we often forget about them). As for this video, I'm sure that after 6 years a refresh would be more then welcome for many people, as I know you made some gear changes meanwhile but kept the principles the same. I think you really should start your writings on your blog and make some youtube vids as well... I miss your trip reports. I hope you'll find time for this hobby again. PS: I really found myself in "The evolution of a Wood Trekker" Thank you

I don't know why only 22 comments, seems like people now refused to learn .

ок

Very interesting! Thanck a lot!

Will that type of setup work with e85 fuel ?

What’s that he makes and finishes around 30:30 with the hollow piece?

Great video

Regarding the KZbin description section for this feature: I very much doubt that this was originally shot in 1923 for Swedish television. Or is something getting lost in translation?

I check a lot of woodworking handbooks. These one from woodprix are the best.

Old time ways That’s impressive
