Make a temporary axe handle! Tip if your handle breaks in the field.

[@nickscavenger]

I recognize this axe. I have plenty of them. This axe is a carpenter's A2 size of the Izhstal plant

[@levisweet979]

Have to say, your videos are never drawn out for those of us with short attention spans, always great ideas. Thanks. Keep it up.

[@hobojordo]

Haha thanks...some KZbin videos reeeeeeallly do drag on 😆

[@levisweet979]

@@hobojordo ya I figured you'd noticed, because your videos are perfectly to the point. A wise man learns from others mistakes.

[@forrestphoenix318]

Please make more videos, you're my favourite dood from Alone. I'd love to see some fire inside a shelter and how you deal with smoke problems.

[@nate6136]

I appreciate your films. They don't come often but you provide truly valuable information.

[@dustinhornor7602]

Great tip! And It’s almost as if you’ve seen a Gransfors Br(ea)uk handle fail on a first swing or something…..🤪

[@hobojordo]

Haha still haven't forgiven them ;). Actually, there was that, and then last year at elk camp a guy also had a brand new one that the head flew off of!

[@hudsonhornet6558]

No matter how good an axe brand is it can never be perfect that’s why I absolutely hate when people fully ridicule the company for their one bad axe and then boom customers gone haha I can understand people mentioning it in a video but when they make a whole video about how you shouldn’t buy this or that it bothers me so much 😂

[@max_fjellstorm]

Could you elaborate a little more on the chisel ground axes from the evenki people? Also what’s the science behind the squarish handle that are better for working with mittens? Regards max

[@stoneyj1a1]

Great tip man. The Alone show has really inspired me. I may have to try some bushcraft stuff eventually. Office work is not rewarding

[@hobojordo]

Awesome it's been inspiring! Come on our to a course someday ;)

[@joshuaritzheimer1382]

Great video! Another use for the famous Y stick!

[@nathanbailey9153]

Jordan, you should check out the Stihl "Woodcutter Universal Forestry Axe". They sell for $40 at North 40, and they are very much like the Russian style axes with the wide eye and even a squarish handle up top. I have one and it seems to have decent steel, and all the ones on the rack at North 40 seemed to have decent steel as well as decent fit an finish.

[@hobojordo]

Thanks I'll try it out!

[@chesterwatkins9265]

Great tip. Thanks for sharing this on our survival page!

[@Hostile-Hondo]

I actually like the cold steel Hudson bay tomahawk for the same reason

[@fareselias6187]

Thank you for the lesson Jordan. It might be very handy if ever I break my axe handel. Great tip man .

[@Sharpbevel]

This is brilliant. Cool hack.

[@weozol4065]

You are awesome. Thank you for your knowledge.

[@bobchristianson9701]

Nice job Jordan

[@Tread_six]

You're videos make me want to learn more. I'm trying to start doing beginner bushcrafting/survival classes. I just wish i knew as much as you do.

[@hobojordo]

Come on out to one of mine someday ;) but just keep getting out and you'll learn and gain more and more experience!

[@Tread_six]

@@hobojordo I've been planing on it. I just gotta wait for my newborn to be a little more self reliant first lol.

[@ReturntoNatureSkills]

genius and so simple

[@withoutfurtheradoforever]

Brilliant idea!

[@BackpackDad]

You know I'm on that list 👌

[@naturewithandy7204]

That’s a good tip!

[@micjam1986]

Unless you bought a fiscars axe.. then all you have in another wedge.

[@pastorpfp1]

Hey man, great tip! Are you elk hunting this year?

[@hobojordo]

Not as much as I want as we also moved this September, but yeah I plan to go out here in about a week...I went out with a cow tag during archery and came about 20 yards from a nice bull 🤦🏽‍♂️ ha classic...

[@jasmineirwin7166]

I like those Russian axes too. I bought a few on eBay although they were bigger versions then I what you are probably used to. By the way what type of steel are they made out of.

[@hobojordo]

They vary in steel type

[@jasmineirwin7166]

Jordan Jonas which type is the one that rings?

[@weezypeezy1725]

What axe head is that, or what axe do you recommend?

[@hobojordo]

I'm hoping to get one made! I haven't found one I like as much as the Russian ones, but they are hard to source in the US, and you can get them with varying quality steel

[@hobojordo]

If you go on my website and sign up for my list I'll let you know when I get them produced, hopefully sooner rather than later 🙏

[@iruwild]

How about just use tomahawk

[@HeavenAndHope]

😍Hi Jordan ❣

[@omgheispoop]

Love the fork trick! Also great intro!!! 👌👌👌
