i appreciate you showing the fire starting in its entirety. lots of youtubers will shorten it to the throw of sparks that gets it going and not the initial build up to it. showing that fire making isn’t always instant. it takes time and fiddling with as you’re making one. you’ve got my sub!

I forget to add a text explaining, but the wood was a tiny bit wet, so I hade to use a fire starter. I dont mind sowing what it can be for real. And if someone is new to this, dosent feel bad for not geting it going strait away. Thank you very much for watching and for your sub! 🙌

A septuagenarian here…I carry the Gränsfors Outdoor Axe plus one of my 4 inch (100-102mm) fixed blade woodsman’s belt knives and a Victorianox Ranger 79 M as my cutting tool selection in my day hiking / overnight bag, belt and pocket. I’ve never been a fan of beating a good knife through a log to make kindling, that’s what a small hatchet is for. That’s how I roll… In my hunting kit, I swap out the Outdoor Axe for the Gränsfors Small Hatchet…so small, it fits in a pocket. Very handy and compact. I also carry a Victorianox Ranger 57 with the gut hook instead of the Ranger 79 M. There is no such thing as carrying too many blades…just saying.

Great job mate love the work! I’m from Australia and I have a Gransfors small hatchet that works well. I use and prefer a Khukuri as a field knife. I back it with a belt knife and a SAK . The large huntsman. Keep the videos coming

I just got an Esee Gibson axe. It’s only 10 inches tall. Very small! But it actually has taught me that smaller is very beneficial. I can throw it in my pack and go. It’s actually safer than a knife in some cases. Kind of teaches you practical applications and potential for your tools.

My wife’s girl friend gave here a rusty two pound head. I reshaped and sharpened the head and rehung it on a 19” handle. It’s very nice. But doesn’t have a name.

I use a 570g 34cm Spear & Jackson (local brand, not expensive) hatchet , Mora Companion, Victorinox Tourist. The video is a strong start. Axe handle length, axe weight? Specs help esp VS my local hardwood in Australia. GFB SFA isn’t that useful locally and it’s expensive i.e. AUD 290. Music while making coffee is OK. Skip the music when you speak.

I sliced my hands up that much doing the wrap on the outdoor hatchet. I have to redo it shortly but Im leaving the cover on it this time. Great little hatchet, preferring it to a large knife

I like your video. If I'm camping I'll take an axe. If I'm hunting or packing light I bring a large knife that can handle splitting tinder and chopping.

a 1 inch auger drill bit makes piles and piles of shaving tinder in under 30 seconds. just engrave a drill bit socket hole into your axe, or get one with an eye ring opening that you can put any stick you find in the woods through.
