Log splitting with a small bushcraft axe

[@shonuffisthemaster]

I'm really happy people in the UK are getting intrested in survival / bushcraft, keep it up!

[@bushvid]

This is how I amused myself a long time ago, with a smaller axe and lots of sharp wedges. Great vid and great splitting techniqie, Amigo.

execellent,one of the simplest usefull tips i've picked up on youtube so far! thank you brother.

Good vid. I have used this technique for making bow staves and also for crafting planks. Much more satisfying than buying them from the big box stores. And as I understand it, this technique was used in former times to craft the planks used in ships and buildings.

[@twain55]

Great information. Thanks for sharing.

[@enjoythewildUSA]

absolutely incredible technique

[@Retro-Future-Land]

Great work fella! How would you quarter it using that method if you didn't have the other log on the ground? Doable but more difficult??

[@JustinBaker2567]

Thanks for this video. I have tried to batton through a really tall log with my machete or ka bar heavy bowie and it got stuck right in the middle and wouldnt budge.

Hello, it was deleted by the host due to their company folding up. But I have a saved version, just negotiating a new host. Hopefully it will be back up soon. Thanks for you kind comment.

[@99pppo]

Could you suggest me a Video where you or another host shows how to make a longbow out of such a piece of wood?

[@nextexhale]

Exellent tutorial. Thanks.

[@karlsefni01]

absolutely! elm is also good but you can't split is, you need to chop half the log away. Good luck!

[@roglet123]

really nice video will look at the rest asap! :)

[@LearnBushcraft]

Hello... sorry for delay, i dont get on to the net that often. The log had been felled about 2 months ago, if not slightly longer. Cant be exactly sure as had been living in Cumbria for a while and had not been in my local woods for ages. Oh i do have permission to do this kind of thing there! Thanks for subscribing.

[@shonuffisthemaster]

yes, I'm from the US. many things I read / see about the UK related to knives and guns make me think its really restrictive over there. I am pretty neutral about guns, I only have a .22. But knives are a different story! I thought people here were knife-phobic. Here you can carry a folder under 4" in the city, and out of the city you can carry anything you want. I do like and use the term "bushcraft", it sounds allot less threatening to people than "survival".

[@LearnBushcraft]

The wood i am splitting is ASH (fraxinus excelsior)i use wedges made from hazel to help me slpit it.

[@hobbexp]

really good stuff,, 5/5

[@jtypo]

what wood is that?

[@hvypetals]

thanks for sharing

[@miguelbinha]

Quality!!

[@WobblingHobGoblin]

cool vid

[@victorcastle1840]

Why do you keep calling your tool a AXE when it is a hatchet ? Even the company calls it a Wildlife hatchet. How does this method work on a piece of wood other than one of the straightest grained wood Ash ? Nice video and clarity of method.

[@Drummertist]

When making a campfire. Also, when you need to SPLIT WOOD!

[@highbridge48]

it`s cool way !

[@cesp82]

@ArmyOfTheLord1 Is this comment relevant?

[@dkoriss1]

You are completely clueless. We speak for a log splitting with small axe, NOT FOR MATCHSTICK SPLITTING and we mean a decent splitting not just taking few parts apart and make it happened right at every atemp. Educate yourself before start making criticism.

[@bushcraft96]

are you american and yes the only problem in the uk is the law!!!
