The Best Axe - Full Review/ Beavercraft AX3

#adventure #survival #bushcraft
AX3 Beavercraft Woodcraft/ Bushcraft / Survival Axe- Full Review. Review of the Beavercraft Woodcraft and Bushcraft Splitting axe with a link to survival skills and outdoor living. Myself and Billy test the axe out for splitting, cutting, carving, feather sticks, fire, building and general camp tasks and see how it compares to other quality axes we have used.
This is in no way a long term review but I'm happy weve covered most bases and given it a good test.
Beavercraft do make some good tools of which I have quite a few and this axe doesn't disappoint

[@CarlEvz13]

Hi Rick mate n Billy dog. great review. I’ve been using a Fiskars X11 for 7yrs now and solid bit kit to be fair but may invest in one those beaver crafts hatchet seems decent.100% great advice ALWAYS carry a first aid kit it’s essential! Jimmy was lucky it could of been a lot worse but glad he’s on the mend back to waffling on as he does 😂 atb Rick n Billy dog 👍🏻

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

Haha cheers Carl lol 😆. Yeh I've never used the Fiskars but always heard good reports about them 👍. It's good when you've had a bit of kit that long and it's been reliable. Makes it hard to use anything else lol. Cheers Carl mate, have a top week Atb Rick n Billydog

[@R6PhilOutdoorEnthusiast]

Great little hatchet Rick, looked like you were getting pepper by the midges, little buggers. Quality as always 👍

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

Aye I was getting nailed for sure lol 😆. Little buggers. They weren't too bad though 🙂. Yeh its a good little bit of kit for sure . Cheers Phil, atb Rick n Billydog

[@thisnortherngirl4448]

Hubby enjoyed this one too ! Hes an axe man himself...😊 great video Rick ! The forest is looking proper lush and lovely. Time to pay it a visit 😁 Hope yourself and Billy are well Rick. ATB 🌳🌲🌳🌲

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

Cheers Kirsty, yeh we had a cracking week off last week. Woodland camp, mountain camp, fishing, mountain biking 🙂. We did alright 🙂. Yeh the woods are beautiful for sure . Midges are out in force though lol. I love a good axe too 🙂. Cheers Kirsty, have a great week Atb Rick n Billydog

[@marksadventures3889]

Useful to know a bit of bushcraft and fun to watch though I don't think I'm going to start making cups, spoons or such anytime soon. Shelter skills I will practice! (and do) because I see myself needing them more potentially. I've got some good kit together and yes I have a couple of axes, but I work on redundancy too - a large bergen, smaller day pack, a 58 plce belt issue, of which two pouches make up a back up emergency kit with emergency (S-o-S) tins within. I got into the survivalist thing back there a while ..lol...can you tell? I've ended up in a Prepper/ camper/ tourer who knows a bit of everything not particularly mast of any. Thing is, I've been looking to apply the grey-man principle to civvie survival. Cut down the camo where it's not required for urban camo' - a tramp looking guy on a bike or tourist cyclist, a tourist hiker, a bloke from the office with Friday down wear on - a shopper on their way home. No one takes any notice if you blend in - too busy looking at their phones most of the time. Next, ultra violet head torches that don't look military and some that do. When I've sussed I can teach and help others.

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

Brilliant stuff Mark, that's a great message with lots of good information and ideas for people to look at . Survival skills don't necessarily mean remote wilderness survival. An Urban situation could well occur and being the Grey man could well be a great tactic to fly under the radar so to speak. Nice one Mark, hope yer having a top weekend fella Atb Rick n Billydog

[@rialobran]

Good advice about the First Aid Kit Rick. in fact I'd go so far as to say brilliant advice. Too few YT'ers mention the safety aspect and it should behold all of us whether camping or bushcraft to do so, people use us as 'inspiration'. That's a great looking as well as versatile little hatchet, I know what I'm putting on my Xmas list for this year.

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

Cheers Simon, thanks mate, aye its a cracker. Looking forward to some good winter camps carving around the camp fire with it. Yeh any tips that help people and at least give some ideas and can possibly make a difference to safety etc are worth giving aren't they Simon 🙂👍. Cheers fella, you have a great week Atb Rick n Billydog

[@Thedagda801]

I always trust your reviews as you call as you see it! Great as usual brother!

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

Hey cheers 🙂👍, yeh you've gotta say it as it is ain't ya. Gotta use stuff properly too to know if it's any good . Cheers fella Atb Rick n Billydog

[@silvafox8371]

Baking potatoes & cooking sausages on the firepit in the "Blazin sunshine " in the back garden watching Rich T (rick t) & Billy Dog . Life doesn't get much better . One of your best Vids very professional beautiful setting and camera work . The other week someone mentioned Billy dog was subdued lmao he was on form tonight bless him. Sorry into the ax/atchet - I've wanted a campcraft/bushcraft/wildcamp/bug out sort of tool. Think this ticks the box clearly . Excellent review and test sir

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

Haha brilliant stuff 😆 can't beat baked potatoes n sausages. Chuck a good few beens in n some cheese n a proper pile of scran 🙂. Aye he was lovin life was Billy n we had a crackin long mooch later in the day 🙂. Cheers fella, thanks for the cool comment Atb Rick n Billydog

[@ianbracken7973]

Great video again Rick. Billy was loving spending time out with you again as per usual. Tracy & I enjoyed watching. My first aid kit is ready for an update it's only a basic one & probably 5 or 10 years old. What do you have in yours when it's just you & Billy Dog? 👍

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

Cheers Ian 🙂👍. I don't carry much different than a standard first aid kit apart from a tourniquet and a quick access bleed kit, pressure bandages etc. For me and Billy, I've usually got tick removers, anti histamine etc and if I've no big tools I'll be quite lightweight with a minimal FA kit of just plasters n a couple of pressure bandages etc, tape n bits. Cheers Ian, thanks mate Atb Rick n Billydog

[@ianbracken7973]

Thanks Rick. ATB Ian, Tracy & Rosie the Jack Russell.

[@bubbaluv500]

Another fantastic fun and informative video Rick. Plenty of photo bombing by Billy and even some top level poncho wrestling 😆. Great looking axe/hatchet. How is your friend doing after his op, I think it was?

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

Haha Mark lol I did do a bit of Poncho wrestling lol 😆 🤣. Could have edited it out but you've gotta keep it real ain't ya. Aye cheers Mark, he's all good. Had the all clear so that's a proper result eh 🙂. Cheers for asking fella n thanks for watching again 👍. Have a top week mate, atb Rick n Billydog

[@bubbaluv500]

That's great news Rick. Got to keep it real mate. Fantastic.

[@martinoutdoors6941]

Looks a decent hatchet, something a bit different. What was the head weight?

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

Cheers Martin, aye I like it. Looking forward to being sat around a few winter fires doing some nice carving projects with it 🙂🔥. It's 1lb 12oz. Feels a good weight in the hand 👍 Cheers Martin, have a top week mate Atb Rick n Billydog
