SIMPLE Hatchet Trick

This takes a lot of patience. The more you practice it, the faster and more efficient you'll become. This video is designed to get you to think about non traditional ways to take on a wood cutting task. Sure, it would be simple with the right tools. BUT, what if the only thing you had was a small hatchet?

Why spend time and effort just burn it like that

[@justinuriahphoto]

Great question. There may be a time when you need to create something from the wood. For instance, a tool to use around camp. Also, it’s excellent exercise. Cutting and splitting the wood burns tons of calories and builds muscle. Also, it’s a routine. Many people love the routine of doing things. For instance, just throwing the log into the fire works but there’s not a lot of involvement in that. Sometimes the process is what makes us happy. Being a cog in the machine can be boring. Sometimes we want to be one who designs and maintains the machine. And lastly, never underestimate the value of hard work. People will admire you for it. Seeing a large pile of stacked and cut wood that is ready to be burned brings me a lot of joy. It's not the destination, but the journey along the way! Thanks for asking Robert!

[@FlashaholicsUSA]

Not only is cut acceptable, but you could argue is acceptable in multiple ways

@@user-ev7tr2zn2q Its useful if you’re carrying extra weight while hiking/ mountain climbing and need a camp spot. If you have a backpack full of water, food, a tent, and other equipment, it’s going to get really heavy. If you’re someone who’s likes to hike for miles, all of that extra weight become a silent killer on your energy reserves and body. A smaller axe weighs less and still gets the job done if you only need a small amount of wood.

[@Eisenwulf666]

i used to help my grandfather when he was stocking the wood for winter, one of the first things he told me was how to cut large pieces with wedges. It can work even if you have a stubborn stump that you can't or don't want to dislodge from the ground. You just cut it open with wedges and take pieces away, but you have to be careful because if a wedge gets stuck it's a pain to take it out.

A WW2 paratrooper showed me this when I was a kid. He volunteered his time with my BSA troop to teach us wilderness survival and a bunch of other outdoor badges. He showed us a ton of stuff, and all of it had a ludicrous story about how he had to use it during the war. The older I've gotten, the more I've come to believe the things he told us were actually true. At the time, I could never have imagined that he'd have used boot laces and cordage from lost chutes to make a bridge out of broken rifles and pieces of trashed equipment to cross a fairly large waterway. He said there weren't enough trees to use branches.

[@drumlineking07]

It's kinda funny to imagine a bridge made of rifles just sitting in some random place in the world.

@drumlineking07 it seems absolutely insane, right out of "the tall tales" but with all of the strange stories that have come to light over the last 30 years or so, I wouldn't discount anything as much as I did then. Course, my grandpa would tell us kids they'd load Japanese soldiers into cannons and shoot them at the Germans, which we all know is blatantly an impossibility on all accounts. Lmao.

Nice cut

[@tjshively3904]

Cuts a log with a chain saw, splits the log with some twigs and a tiny hatchet. Makes sense

[@culturebreath369]

Literally cut the video because it wasnt splitting. Lmao.

[@adamglltt89]

It's a short. How many ten minute shorts do you see?

[@ghanaboyz]

you never found logs left over from others...? I often have.

[@davidsnyder2068]

It’s a demonstration for a scenario where you’re out there with a tiny tool like that. You never know what kind of scenario you could find yourself in and most people don’t go on a casual day hike with a chainsaw.

[@floyddeshazo2865]

Real eye opener. When you're backpacking every ounce counts. Wouldn't have believe it if I hadn't seen it. I really don't think you expended any more energy than if you'd had a sledgehammer and a wedge.

[@miguelmoronta6871]

He definitely did, don’t forget the “10 minutes later” part. Absolutely no shot swinging a splitting maul a few times is more tiring than this video The low mass of the tools used here mean there is a poor effort-> result ratio. Edit: I guess there’s ONE scenario where this is easier…a maul/sledge is too heavy for you to swing lol idk

[@WungusBill-lf4iu]

10 minutes of batoning is definitely more than the tens of seconds you'd spend with a wedge and sledge. This isn't the right tool for the job, it's just something you could do if you absolutely had to.

[@floyddeshazo2865]

@@miguelmoronta6871 I agree with you, put the point here. He's demonstrating how to accomplish the same task with only what you have in a backpack to the middle of nowhere.

Splitting that log like it was a granite slab.

Link for the hatchet, looks gorgeous

This is addictively good content.

One of the most useful outdoor KZbin shorts I’ve seen. Thanks a bunch!

One of the best studio lights I've seen in use. Along with that the room reverb. Not that it matters for the demonstration, I'm not sure if this was made in a studio.
