Schrade SCAXE10 Full Tang Hatchet- Wet Weather Fire

[@charleslarson3152]

Bryan, loved this how to video!!!!! Your demonstration of collecting small amounts of fatwood, was great and how to collect all that you needed and how to process all that you needed to build your fire made for a complete package!! I will say this though, I once again had to freeze frame you to get a solid look at the sheath, and I was then able to see that Schrade this time has molded a top cover flange to stop the tip of the blade from rocking up and exposing oneself to being cut. A very nice and important feature! Thanks again Bryan....always nice to see you out in the field!!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

It was fun making this one.

[@HispanicTurtle]

Brian I just want to see I'm a big fan and I appreciate all the survival information you provide for the KZbin community.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thank you.

[@mariodmc6691]

This guy is awesome, great review. I like the way he created fire from scratch

[@ArcAudios77]

Excellent review Bryan, complemented by worthwhile wet weather fire making demonstration. Thanks & regards from Scotland.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

This one was fun to make. Thanks.

[@tylerdeth7757]

Survival On Purpose which one is better the full tang is cheaper than the non full tang

[@tylerdeth7757]

Also what is angle of grind

[@billfraser2279]

Bryan, was shopping for a hatchet. Your video educated me enough to go buy the Schrade hatchet. Great hatchet. I LOVE THE SHEATH. It is lighter than any other sheath. It won't hold moisture possibly causing rust on the hatchet like other nylon or leather sheaths. I love leather for looks, but for function, I think the thermo-plastic one that comes with the hatchet is the best.

[@csh6220]

When you need fire the most is when it is hardest to get going - wet and cold. Schrade has really upped their game the past five years or so. Fatwood is a gift from the man above. I wonder how many lives fatwood has saved over the years. A little knowledge and good tools make all the difference. Thanks for another informative, well done video Bryan.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+csh 62 I love me some fatwood

[@shawnwade302]

Bryan I almost always like all your videos but I really like this one. Its nice to see a product review that also shows some practical outdoors skill with said product.

[@dustinroy7213]

I really appreciate your videos. You give a truthful review and educate others. great job!!!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks. I appreciate it.

[@charlesmurphy7712]

Bryan, excellent video and great demo on wet weather in Georgia. So true. really really wet weather can be common in Georgia during the hurricane season. Good tip for finding fatwood at the bottom of the tree I've always looked for it in dead standing stumps. but that would be much easier to get a small amount in a hurry.I will definitely employ this tip.Thanks for your time and effort.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Charles Murphy I'm glad you liked it Charles.

[@pitstop_calvin]

Another name for "fatwood" is "lightred-knot". With just about any old downed pine tree, the rot can be chopped off and the fat-wood can be found where the sap settled. Even old pine stumps can sometimes be kicked over and have very good high concentrated fat wood. Don't try to saw it, it will ruin a saw blade. This type of wood is some of the best natural fire starter in the woods! It's like the wood has been soaked in diesel fuel. One could build a fire in the bottom of a mud puddle with fat-wood! Good informational video! I was torn between the Gerber and this hatchet. I think I'm going to buy this hatchet since it's has a place for hammering on the back.

[@billwoolman7994]

I just ordered the SCAXE10 because of your review. Thanks!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

It is a good one

[@guengerichii7862]

I like the grind Schrade put on this lil hatchet.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I agree

[@bonniewaugh5279]

Great Camp Hatchet and video on wet weather fire building. Here in Kentucky we do a lot of camping between the Spring and Summer rains

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks Bonnie. I've been to Kentucky a couple of times, the parts I saw were beautiful

[@stuartduke999]

Great video as usual Brian ! Thank you very much for your channel. Best wishes from the UK!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Hello UK! Best wishes to you too Stuart. Thanks

[@cb3391]

This video sold me on the hatchet. Ty

[@d-c-g6525]

Great "how to" video on finding fatwood and making a fire. I really like these real world gear demos. keep 'em coming.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks.

[@ArcheryDad2024]

Great video Bryan. Loved the collecting & using fatwood.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I love me some fatwood.

[@rd946]

Thanks for the tips on wood gathering, from another fan from North GA!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Mealyman 94 God's country.

[@timothyluscko9801]

Looks like the Schrade SCAXE10 full tang camp hatchet would be a great addition to my bug out bag. small in size but could handle large jobs, also thanks for the tip about fatwood never heard of it before will have to remember it the next time we go camping.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

You are welcome. Good luck.

[@janpenland3686]

Nice little camp axe! You build a wet fire the same way that I do. That method has never failed me. I live in NW GA.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Well hello from just outside Atlanta.

[@willyfisterbottom4377]

this looks like a great little hatchet, I like the width of the cutting area...

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Paul Bunyan would be proud

[@ToyoteroMundial]

I like that you also give the sizes in cm too. Thanks

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+ToyoteroMundial When I remember to.

[@Wildersport]

My old wooden handled hatchet broke at the end of the season last year. I just ordered one of these. VERY nice review. Just IMHO, you might want to use some of that dry pine straw under the fatwood. It ignites way easier than the fatwood and really helps kick the fire off... You can actually kick off a good fire in wet conditions with the pine straw and twigs to get it going instead of fatwood... After this global looniness going on, I bet you , like us here in TX can't wait to get out to the woods this fall! Thanks for the review. This really helps me feel better about my purchase. Oh and at 6:03 you actually start batoning the hatchet. Never seen that done before. Never even thought of it. I will typically get the hatchet head buried in the round, and then drive the hatchet and round into the support we were using, rock, deadfall whatever to drive the split the rest of the way. Works for me without risking the hatchet.

[@jerrymillett9839]

I love the hatchet, just the grip is a little thin hangin on to (wanted to turn a bit) . I wrapped it a bit & & GREAT to go!!! ….a little bit late on the comment but been this long & still my go to. I was brought here to compare the scax2 (on big sale). Thanks, my favorite reviewer!

[@marydailey1568]

Another great video! I like it's compact size. Very convenient.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Mary Dailey It is almost perfect Mary.

[@terryhenry54]

I have tried this,and it works!Fan of fatwood.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Terry Henry I love me some fatwood.

[@jasonhockett5418]

This would make a great add to my bush craft bag and my blade collection.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Yes it would

[@jasonhockett5418]

When is the giveaway gonna happen?

[@ozarkriverrat7086]

Good job Bryan, especially the post video add on.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I'm glad you like the out-takes.

[@charlescollier7217]

Perfect time for this Bryan. It's STILL raining on my side of town.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Mine too.

[@daltonvickers7977]

I was thinking of getting the Estwing for my pack. Now I may have to reconsider. Thanks for the review

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

This one is a little smaller and lighter but I think it does a good job.

[@poppopscarvinshop]

Great Video Bryan! Good to see another Georgia KZbinr! I'm between Stockbridge and Conyers. Thanks for the Awesome Channel!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks.

[@jwkarz]

huh. didn't know about "fatwood". thx for the great explanation and demo!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Just spreading the message of love and fatwood across the Internet :-)

[@84FrankDaTank]

I really love the look of the hatchet. if I ever bought one I would want it to be that one.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

It did a great job for me

[@dwightehowell6062]

Must agree this is a great tool for the camper. It is a good match for a boy scout hatchet I bought a long time ago that needs a little handle work and a new sheath. The trick is you want a wide blade and a fairly short handle with enough weight to chop well and not too heavy to carry. If you want something even lighter and more compact Gerber makes a little BG hatchet that is also unitized metal that cuts fairly well and is meant to choke up on for finer cutting but the tool is a sheet of rolled steel with a rubbery handle coating. In a lot of ways it's made like a large knife and can be used like one with the advantage of having an optimum weight distribution for an ~8" long tool for chopping wood. You have a good hammer & the BG "hammer" is just a place to hit if you are batoning not much if any different than the back of a large knife blade in my view. Lots of options but I'd say this Schrade looks like one of the most balanced and most effective for the camper.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

If I am not making a video or practicing survival skills "on purpose", I take the lazy way too.

[@jonnyboat2]

That’s a nice hatchet. Don’t have to worry about the head coming off.

[@steveokon5431]

Great review Brian, thanks

[@fyremanjef]

Nice review and for tips on using all fat wood for wet fire starting

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I love me some fatwood.

[@jcnavamg]

thanks for the reviews, i just bougth my schrade schf27 and works great my next purchase is this axe thanks a lot by the way im from Guadalajara Jalisco México

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

De nada

[@IcemanSS4187]

Ideal! I know that I could put it to good use! Thank you for the amazing opportunity!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Good luck!

[@kirawigley]

sweet hatchet and love the time lapse music keep up the great work bry

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Kira Wigley Thank you!

[@edwardjackson7938]

It is a great axe to be small and this was a great demo of it`s capabilities and as for the heavy breathing I feel ya.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

It is a great hatchet.

[@edwardjackson7938]

The axe I have I got when I was 16 so it has been around the forest a long long time. I think it is time to retire old Chopper for a new and better one such as this one.

[@JackThorsson]

Oh yeah! Looks like a great hatchet.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Jack Thorsson yes it is.

[@TBOR101]

Excellent review, not sure I would trade my leather handle eastwing for this one, but it seemed to be just as handy and maybe better balanced. Keep making videos, one of my top favorite channels. Have a great day

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+TBOR101 I think they are both excellent tools. Thanks.

[@preparedsurvivalist2245]

That was a great fire demonstration in wet conditions Brian. The hatchet looks really cool and functional as well. It's funny how tough it is to cut down trees or thick limbs with a hatchet. A saw does much better at that task.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Prepared Survivalist Sometimes it does, but sometimes it just feels good to chop something.

[@TurtleBushcraft]

Nice hatchet was a little surprised how well it did for being so light thanks for sharing atb John

[@deanwittle5183]

Love the survival on purpose videos

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Dean Wittle Thanks Dean.

[@ivaudio1]

Great design! ! ! beautiful hatchet

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I think so too.

[@ericcarr5140]

A great addition. I clear placards in marine navigation.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I have no idea what that means, but it sounds useful

[@MrSkootter]

Size is good to carry in a pack for smaller jobs , and it's Scheaded so it's great

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

It's my new favorite

[@daddio320]

Great review Brian.......that's a perfect little Hatchet for everyday camp needs.......maybe I should retire my ol Oak handled ax...

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Or just give it a friend

[@samdoniam]

Great for working in tight quarters!!!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I agree.

[@cameronrenteria6629]

Well Bryan you've done it again...... Another great video :)

[@alaskaraftconnection-alask3397]

Well done Brian!!! I use and really like my Schrade, Old Timer and Uncle Henry Knives SCAXE2G... Love the glow!!! I'm thinking about the 10 as I see a blend of qualities worthy of trying out here in ALASKA RAFT CONNECTION, LLC. Particularly winter use.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

It is just very compact and useful, in my opinion

[@OF01975]

great video as usual,, I'd love to see a bedside defense video of what you have beside your bed

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Hmmmm. Loose lip sink ships.

[@sumerowens8090]

Like it! Nice and compact!! Great for working in the woods!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Sumer Owens I agree.

[@wallyemerson]

Thank you, excellent review. Here's an edit I'd like to see. Put your summary before you throw the hatchet into the tree. Then just turn to the camera, wink and say something short and simple like, "thanks for watching", then cut. Beauty! love your movies, thank you.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I used to do outakes and different endings but the current KZbin end screen feature that allows me to show another video and a subscribe link only works for the last 20 seconds of the video so now I try to work within that format.

[@torch_ss5797]

I'll have to check this one out. I've been using the Fiskars X-7 with good results, but I like the looks of this Schrade. Another great review!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I like this one a lot.

[@jimviathin_1622]

awesome video. i honestly didnt think you could make a fire from wet wood, but i guess you gotta know were to look. awesome channel.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Improvise, adapt and overcome.

[@jimviathin_1622]

Well put. keep up the great work.

[@kkprepper950]

Love God Love your channel. Good job. Thanks Brother.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks.

[@eliuaguila1284]

Si la recomienda para hacha de campo? Me da un poco de curiosidad la retención de filo y la calidad del acero.

[@SignorNessuno65]

I was like "ho, hum" when you originally showed the hatchet. Estwing makes full tang, rubber grip, high quality hatchets. Then you said "stainless" & you got my attention!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

It is a great little hatchet.

[@claytonbill]

Excellent video sir.

[@susanjordan9734]

Great review! Hubby and love all things Schrade! Happy Holidays!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Merry Christmas to you too Susan, and your hubby and family.

Really good video Bryan.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks Brian

[@beahaven]

Looks like the perfect size and weight for me.

Great Video Bryan! However you’ve convinced me to go with Wetterling hatchet.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I like my Wetterlings.

yeah I like mine too.

[@axs7689]

I was gonna buy this ill just buy through your link. Thanks for the video

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Asad Siraj thanks. I appreciate it.

[@livingsurvival]

Still doesn't compare at all to the SCAXE2L but great for a smaller size. Great review.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I agree as far as the level of chopping you can do but I like the compact size. And it's balanced.

[@davidberry6046]

Loved the video, but what happened to the skunk after 8:12? LOL! Just ordered a new Schrade bowie, and am thinking about this little hatchet.

[@thelzmovement6480]

sweet hatchet! schrade never disappoints

[@Tina-Lee_6]

Great review, looks compact which I love!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Co St me too.

[@southpawbushcraft7522]

For a compact hatchet it would be great! I love this size for wood working such as spoon making. I agree it would be great for a hunting pack as well. I have to say though I hate that sheath! Thanks for sharing! ~Dawn

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I have to say I wasn't a fan of that sheath style either but my other ones have stood the test of time and work very well.

[@toxickmagician4803]

[@TheKYturtle]

Thanks for the nice review!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks for watching.

[@NGMonocrom]

I like the Bear Gryll's hatchet. But not the blaze orange parts or the just too short handle. Looks like with this option I get those extra couple of inches I wanted, no orange, and a better cover/sheath. Plus, still full tang. Thanks for making this review.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

This is a great little hatchet

great looking hatchet.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Joshuah “Wildman” Moran It is very functional too.

[@Countryprepper]

Very nice! Hopefully they will make a somewhat longer version too like they did with the SCAXE2 & SCAXE2L. Out of curiosity was that song The Wildwood Flower? My dad played it on the guitar when I was a kid.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

That's me playing what I call the "survival on purpose theme"

[@Countryprepper]

Ok it just sounded similar. I thought I had seen you playing it in a video a while back and couldn't find the video to be sure.
