Cut Down a Tree With a Pocket Knife

[@SEKTION]

in a survival situation ... keep your knife sharp and dont use it for this shit... lol

[@NinjaAttackNow]

True...

[@joshualuonuansuu9681]

Unless you have two pocket knifes.

[@minecraft5557]

Use that knife to sharpen the better knife.

[@kylefarmer3091]

CeSektion do you think we'd cut down a tree with our pocket knife in a survival situation? dummy

[@jordy2299]

In a survival situation … just walk out of the woods and buy an axe at the nearest Walmart

[@iwantosavemoney]

I have to say very impressive cutting down that sizes of tree with a knife. good video

[@phoenix7654]

Now you must cut down the largest tree in the forest with... A HERRING!!

[@wildfire7268]

How to dull a knife in littlee over an hour

[@Galaxy_World]

What

[@Galaxy_World]

@@wildfire7268 bruh

[@flanfan1212]

For some reason the inside of that tree looks delicious

[@flanfan1212]

neither

[@dabbin3699]

+John Sun the insides look like whipped cream.

[@chowderstevens9375]

+Dabbin or a good ole creampie

[@jaylenbledsoe835]

I know

[@masteraus66]

I love how you guys included safety as well so people dont get hurt.

[@PatrickBoening]

I did the same thing...but did not even poses a knife, so I rented a "Beaver on the Leash". Please tune in next week, when we show you: "Cut down the General Sherman tree in Sequoia National Park ...with a nail clipper!

[@youngwoodsman4110]

I mean in a survival situation and you need fire wood I'd get more wood from collecting dead fall

[@harry_9613]

I use my teeth and chew around the tree, is this way ineffective, or am I doing it well?

[@harrisonking8156]

Your doing it TOO well mate!

[@Arariel3]

Ya know, I have to like this based on the fact that I was so entertained by watching him cut down that tree with his pocket knife. Would've loved to have seen a timer in the corner to time him.

[@garrettferrell6821]

Wow,I’m impressed,I figured you would end up breaking the knife before taking down the tree...pretty big tree too,especially for a folding knife

[@dwightehowell6062]

That is one of the wildest things I think I've ever seen.

[@dwightehowell6062]

I would expect this to utterly ruin any pocket knife. I also can't come up with a reason to take down a tree this size in an emergency situation unless nothing smaller can be found. That's not at all likely. Wild.

[@jimwilson3386]

AntiqueFarmImplement lmfao I know right wtf

[@zzzombiez]

Well done, Brother. Fire and mud is another handy native felling trick that you might show, if you haven't already. - Mike

[@derickramdeen4796]

nice video. Even if you aren't felling trees those are good principles to know.

[@mahaylahuff2026]

Thank you for making this video. It's important for my book.

[@jonnomonodesu]

Excellent video. Love seeing simple tips that extend the uses of basic items. Safety advice about the overhead widowmakers can be overlooked by some outdoors presenters under the assumption they're understood; pleased to see them covered as well.

[@Hrafnhistorical]

That might come in handy, thanks! I like the style of this channel.

[@Daniel-fv8uo]

Hey thanks this video REALLY help our family

[@greggwonder2199]

Nice video. I have many knives, never would have thought of that in survival situation,always learning.

[@Ril3yXD]

you should do a series based on everything you can do with a pocket knife.

[@jessieroper4184]

Subbed for clear concise instruction. Good video.

[@TheOnlyDarkCraft]

Wow! Thank you for teaching us this. I am all into the survival techniques if your lost.

[@IrishKitty1024]

I just got a swiss army knife I been dieing to try out that has all the bells and whistles. The knife and everything is flimsy so I don't know if it would work but, it also has two different saws to it. Think it might work doing the same thing you did using the saw instead?

[@Tailwind1]

Great lesson, thanks for sharing your time & effort!

[@skippyknives7781]

Thanks for the video my brother and I are all about survival, we'll I personally would not use my pocket knife I would use a fixed blade, but if you only had a pocket knife I can under stand a situation in need if shelter or fire or tools like traps, thanks for the video.

[@joshuameeker7807]

thanks for the vid if I'm in a situation where I need to process wood and I don't have the proper tools knowing this will be better than freezing to death.. God bless

[@KrisShadow216]

Huh, that's super convenient, but as always it's always recommended just to have a hatchet over knives any day but I understand if you don't have it constantly

[@gardener2go]

Thanks, I always learn something from your videos! Good job~!

[@EmpireOfLuciferSatanson666]

This video helps me a lot,thanks.

[@kekagon]

How u doing?

[@IrishKitty1024]

My thoughts exactly. It would excert more energy but, would take less time to fell the tree once the axe is done.

[@joeleech5245]

Badass, southern men! You are Great

[@buckarue100]

Amazing. Great video.

[@wulfgar._]

That was a cute dog in the intro

[@1stfloorguy59]

May i ask what are you going to do with the tree once you fell it? can you make a video how you made the tree into small pieces with the same knife

[@bertiepimplebum9715]

Hello,The Backwoodsmen's Institute: so very interesting video. Treat yourself to a cold can of beer. Kind Regards from the UK.

[@buffalo1a1]

good video, subscribed

[@StevanOutdoor]

I always have my SAK as 'last resort knife' in my pocket and attached with a lanyard to my belt. So I would have to lose my pants before I'm without a knife. We actually refer to this technique as 'Beaver chewing'. The only 'dangerous' part was at 6.05 when you are sitting on your butt on the fall side of the tree and I wonder if you would get away in time if the tree suddenly gives.

[@stevencsawyerss]

I watched this video in 2016,so how about that! Great video! :-)

[@shanechand4409]

Very nice

[@MrRwithanitch]

Awesome. Good job Bro!

[@justinm.5270]

Estimate on how long this took? How many sharpens did you have to do? Asking for a d&d exercise

[@Birddogdog]

I guess you didn't hear him say that he was using the tree as a natural habitat for bunnies and deer. I also had a hard time hearing him, as I was too busy noticing how cute he is. : P

[@rajibjoshi8868]

nice tip ( so folks a baton and knife ) good partners in make work of dead treefall I guess you could chop down logs ( already on ground ) and make them smaller size probably not as efficient as folding saw or axe certainty you could get at the dry parts of deadwood on rainy day

[@RikthDcruze]

I hope you planted 2 trees in return for that one...

[@cop-killer-]

you fucking bitch

[@cop-killer-]

+Rikth Dcruze nah nigga fuck u

[@RikthDcruze]

+Bf 109 K-4 my nigga fuck a tree.

[@cop-killer-]

Rikth Dcruze k sorry for bothering you

[@RikthDcruze]

+Bf 109 K-4 k its ok man...

[@zhou_sei]

gat dang is that a benchmade? youre a brave man. or well-off

[@jeremynading2006]

tip for your timber falling endeavors use a proper Humboldt this will take care of most of your kick out problems

[@dontreadmyprofilepicture208]

I love it

[@THEfromkentucky]

Nice video, man!

[@melodiedewz5590]

thanks for the warning about hitting the blade and overpowering the locking mechanism and having it close and chop your fingers off - love, stumpy

[@bobbyadams6960]

thanks for your service

[@boopie5120]

I'm fourteen and I have already cut down four trees with a knife. I think my way was easier but it took a lot longer. First i stabbed into the tree and grabbed a stick and beat the knife as far as it can go, pulled it out and continued it going all around the tree. It also left me a nice little flat stump.

[@boopie5120]

Now that i finished this video, I thing my way sound's dumb...

[@theporcupine9993]

iDreyous That is very bad for your knife

[@jonascaglin4902]

+viking Cookie he was joking... I think

[@theporcupine9993]

jonas Caglin i have no idea either

[@jbr1074]

WOUNDED WARRIOR PROJECT SUPPORTER! CUDOS, SIR!

[@shmegman3045]

That's a nice gerber profile folder.

[@whiskeypapa8842]

Nice bro, impressed enough to sub.

[@S550GT]

I see small trees I could just break with my hands. I'd rather have a working knife for processing food or something.

[@valeriansalad6904]

@Professor Weaboo there are clearly trees which are small enough to break with your hands behind him... I don't like minecraft either, but he's right.. In a forest this dense, it would be a waste of time unless the wood was for shelter. In another environment this cutting technique could prove to be useful.

[@johnymcmuffins7898]

The tree at the end he described he would rather do it on in survival situation could easily be taken down with bare hands/i would kick it instead of bare hands but still

[@aaahbeeeh3374]

:) entertaining and well shown whats possible with just a small folder. thx for uploading and the safety tips. one question though: the folder was afterwards still 100% in good shape?

[@Mr.SociallyAwkward]

Help me I'm in a survival situation and I need to cut down a tree but all I have with me is a axe what do I do?................lol

[@CarlosGarcia-no4hl]

Hey this is a great idea but what if u are very weak or just don't have enough energy??

[@mysteretsym]

that's a very "knife" beagle you have there. that's pretty impressive though.

[@TheOneAndOnlySame]

Cool video

[@lucle2282]

can you do it with any type of knife, if so can you do it with a buck 110

[@jamesroot4]

wonder what kinda of knife that is? I've done this exact method but i use a cold steel spartan...little easier haha

[@csjudgement6012]

Sir if your knife is lock back I don't suggest hitting it like that because this might damage the lock back function making the knife loose

[@sambassbuilder1413]

What pocket knife is that?

[@ReefHeater]

wow folding knife too? nice

[@kevinskillin9340]

On my pocket knife, I have a small wood saw. If I were to use that, would I still go around the tree? And would I make wedges?

[@johnnydoe4179]

Yes

[@pavelp80]

Firewood from live tree in the summer? It's usually too wet and it barely burns.

[@-Sun1111-]

What knife is that?

[@loganmoorhead3213]

Luv ur vids

[@angelcortez8158]

What knife was that it looked sweet as hell!

[@tacticalcenter8658]

you should disengage the lock before batting the knife. prevents failure.

[@THEfromkentucky]

A quality 1095 Carbon Steel knife should hold an edge against wet wood. It might be worthwhile to use a rock and knock off the hardened bark first. Although really, you could also make a stone axe by chipping an edge onto a wedge-shaped piece.

[@lw216316]

You are going to fell it with a knife and then chop it up for firewood? Why not fell it with your chopper?

[@perpetualconfusion5885]

How long does this take for you

[@AwkwardHypernerd413]

What if the knife already has a saw?

[@hurjio6633]

I do this often but with a mini axe (if I use to much force the handle will break)

[@ServitudeofChrist]

nice tips

[@fatjaysgarage]

are you using that to build a wall?

[@robertocolon2976]

very informative cool

[@TheCaptureMachine]

HOW CAN NO ONE OBSERVE THE POINTLESS DESTRUCTION OF A TREE? (just kidding don't freak the fuck out)

[@punishedexistence]

That was really cool, but I would cringe doing that to my knife. Nonetheless, in a survival situation, it is necessary.

[@chrisarrow15]

Awesome!

[@Qusonb]

On average how long does it take???

[@frontierasset1965]

I would do a smaller diameter, like an inch or so, for firewood. Then make a rocket stove out of all the old beer cans laying around. No matter how deep you go into the tall timber, you're gonna find beer cans.

[@komododragon4295]

if I ever find myself in a survival situation, I will be damn thankful that I dont have you with me! Enjoy eating your tree and drinking the sap. The best thing you can do for yourself is to take a survival course from someone who knows what it takes to survive!

[@jaketanner6186]

Try cutting down one with a teaspoon 😂 fairplay though 💯

[@Gonehunting73]

good instruction.. sub'd..

[@bradleyberthold4606]

Note to self: Always bring axe haha.

[@TheSatanicGamerFromHell]

Let me finish what you were saying Always bring axe TO CHOP SOME HEADS OFF

[@ttddoogg9119]

im gonna go chop down a tree with my leatherman micra! yay. its so gonna work!!!

[@aflaqu9696]

Did it work

[@everevolving16]

I've been struggling with finding a fixed blade EDC that isn't going to get me hassled every five seconds is a pain... already have a decent camp/survival knife, but want to try and downsize... might try and mess around with a nice folder... take it camping a few times and use it as a primary bushcrafter... good video... shows how one can be a minimalist when it comes to survival or if you really want to try and camp in a couple of ounces... like you said earlier you are really never going to chop a tree that size even for most solo camping trips, let alone for a last ditch survival situation... why are there so many toxic fuckboys in your comment section though?... you might want to find a way to moderate that... I feel like I got cancer from a few of them... some kid bitch in about the low quality of the video... most people don't need to watch their bushcraft and survival videos in high definition to get a little realism half chub... as far as batoning a knife... ya it's probably not healthy for the blade but that's why you get a knife that can handle it... a knife you can't baton with is a knife that's not reliable (at least as a main). overall good video but you need to delete some of these 13 year old bitch comments... they're annoying

[@sortofwant9513]

Lol that was the least climatic Tree fall I've seen

[@yoda7272]

this could come in handy

[@Osprey3400]

What knife did you use, to me it looked like a Benchmade

[@killermanSAd]

Gerber profile folding knife.

[@johnstanksandmore8382]

Cut down a giant tree with a nail clipper.

[@BIGROMEx2]

Haha, funny. (Not Sarcasm)

[@ragamuffin1588]

Won't it damage the pocket knife?

[@handmade3681]

you can also use a stone with a sharp end

[@silverapple2011]

@0:23 I can't even teach my beagle to sit, not run away, and not get scared at gunshots/fireworks...

[@vhollund]

The time it took you I took te bus went home and came back with an axe

[@chowderstevens9375]

clearly you don't venture too far from home

[@JohnnieSensabaugh]

For those of you who like to try things at home and were wondering, yes this will break the lock on your knife most likely.

[@boycoolfireboy6260]

Like the bulk dude

[@boycoolfireboy6260]

+Craig Campbell nah im not as a fellow who is also jacked i appreciate the time he take to get jacked. Your most likely a far ass.

I expected a tree to explode? Yes? Isn't that what trees normally do?
