Woodsman's Breakfast - Axe Talk And More

[@Foxr6]

This always makes me want to go in the wild! Two more days and an eastcoast boy will be in the rocky mountains! Thanks for the post!

[@scraprider7]

Great video! Hands down, you have the best directed and edited bushcraft videos on KZbin!

[@badjujuR6]

Nice, nice, nice, nice! Love your vis and photography! Extremely inspiring....... Keep doing what you do, you do more for people than you might think! Take care.

[@ramsd1]

Your videos always jazz me up.. Great sceanes and info. Gets me in the mood for fall and winter even if it is 85 today..

[@jacksonlittlewood]

Keep doing what you're doing. If I wasn't a fan of the outdoors already, your videos would persuade me to be. They are just so easy and relaxing to watch.

[@Ascendancy1992]

So reassuring to see people out there other than myself still have a passion for getting outdoors, to where we as humans started.

[@Lone58]

I just wanted to say thanks for making these videos. I always seem to enjoy them.

[@Waldhandwerk]

Great video, nice breakfast, cool way to carry your knife and amazing axes. All the best, Sepp

[@nighthawk6376]

I see you are an under-arm carrier like me, my carry is vertical, and I find it the most comfortable and safest way to carry, You always know where your knife is, and its also in a safe and dry place, and covert too!. I love your collection of Axe's, and you have done a marvelous job on restoring them! . Also, your Photography at the end of the Vid, is very good my Friend! .Regards from Ireland ..Tony.

[@peaveybam]

That was a "Peaceful Easy Feeling". Thank you sir. I just started my axe collection.

[@ohkegnu5274]

Havergryn = Oatmeal and Kogekaffe = boiling coffee plus lots of Bacon... :-) Thats a nice start, of a Track-day. Thanks for sharing all your videos, they do give a longing for the woods again... Love trekking in the Lapland woods...

[@oldpisces49]

Thank you for takin us along and sharin your mornin Sir!

[@OpaKnows]

Just found your channel and have enjoyed your videos. I think your presentation and videography is excellent. Together with the audio tracks, it makes for great watching. Well done, sir.

[@spsmith1965]

I am always impressed by the quality of your videos.

[@BornRandy62]

I just sharpened my Keen Kutter axe today in prep of using it for felling some scotch pines. Keen Kutter was manufactured by True Temper Kelly for a hardware store in St Louis. I like all axes 50 plus years old.

[@SkogKniv]

The band is Bon Iver, the song is Blood bank.

[@CookingOutdoors4You]

Awesome axe collection, one of the best I have seen so far. Great video !

[@Pawoodsman]

Great video as always good looking chest rig. i wish I had just a smidgen of the talent you and cody have with leather and steel great looking axes. Hope the wife and baby are doing well.

[@Trailtraveller]

Great Vid...In the woods with a fine axe, fire, coffee and bacon...what could you wish for more !

[@browneye77]

Great video! Makes me miss upstate NY!

[@zeemansushi]

very nice collection, thanks for sharing

[@Hogtownprepper]

Great video brother and I love knife rig. There is a medieval fair here where I live in February that I work in every year. I'll have to look around for some inspiration.

[@stephensgate1]

Leif, Thanks for making another vid, always look forward to watching them after the wife and kid goes to sleep. Keep them coming. How about a small update on your family, work etc,? Huge fan's of yours here in Ohio. God bless. Stephen, Ohio

[@snaponjohn100]

Loved your video, Leif!! Very cool. God bless. John

[@prinsepe87]

How do you not have more views? I absolutely loved this clip...

[@pbassowner]

Leif, I know it's an old video, but your vids are easily my favorite on KZbin.

[@SkogKniv]

Thanks Nick. Ill come back soon.

[@OTEP1234567891011]

Pleeeaaasee

[@SkogKniv]

The one we have is pretty big, with several leather vendors. Always a good way to find good ideas.

[@MikeWareoffthebeatenpath]

I have a Collins Legitimus axe. It has proven to be one of the best axes I have ever owned. And bought it for $5.00 at a flea market a year ago. Lots of good axes for the cheap if you know what your looking at. Loved the video also and nice collection!!

[@AntFilledBeach]

lovely video , really nice pictures too

[@MrShooter54]

I love anything that needs sharpening!!! Thanks for shareing.

[@clarksonxc7600]

love the beagle at the end!

[@TheHindy]

I'm a new sub, and I'm loving the videos so far, especially the new ones. Your camera work is excellent!

[@BarecGesh]

fantastic knife baldric now i know my next bit of kit to make

[@christeamjinsoku]

[@gulfcoastoutdoors1]

Nice. Restful. Calming. Good video.

[@Purplecactus8]

This video is amazing quality! Definitely gained you a subscriber.

[@Master...deBater]

I love the mirror polish on the bevel of that Connecticut...I just bought one in a True Temper Flint Edge in great condition no rust or pitting!!!

[@boonshirschey5926]

[@onebadboy2]

Man, that is one of the best videos I have seen in a long time. I enjoyed the axes, knife and setup and the music and pics. We done sir. I was also wondering where you get your handles. Also who made that knife. Very good stuff, keep it up sir.

[@Chawz1138]

Nice video, beautiful scenery. I was wondering what your opinions where of the Council Tool Velvicut line? Apparently they were made to compete with the Swedish made axes. I was thinking of picking up the Velvicut Hudson Bay model for a utility axe for backpacking.

[@pcnazz]

Really relaxing vid to watch skog, enjoyed it very much ! I got to also say, you have the coolest of cool gear bro, Thumbs Up !

[@gregdejong6588]

Beautiful axe!!

[@michaelcoker3197]

Greetings from Tupper Lake

[@44musher]

Ahhh! Thanks for taking me along!!

[@SkogKniv]

Yes it is resinous wood, same difference. Go find some and try it out. Good for long burning bright fire. Optimal in the dark. -Leif

[@SkogKniv]

Its a local recording, called Adirondack Wild. Sorry don't know the group.

[@jvaughn090284]

Thanks for sharing!

[@SkogKniv]

If its the stained one, that is a True Temper Flint edge with bevels. I stained the handle after I hafted it.

[@Hammer357mag]

Thanks for the Adventure. I could taste the Bacon & Coffee.

[@joesneon]

hey lief! good to see you again! another fine video, i really enjoy them! would you concider the pine knots as fat wood? thanks joe.

[@blitzkrieg1488]

bravo! wonderful video.. greetings from chile

[@PitFireOutdoors]

Hats off too you Sir, Great Video!!

[@WisconsinEric]

Please explain this linseed oil, beeswax and turpentine recipe/technique you use. I have limited experiance treating hickory handles, but on my GB SFA I put about 12-14 coats of linseed oil over a month,(sanding between coats) and then on the last coat I waited until the oil was nearly dry, just a little tacky, and I worked a tiny bit of Obenhauf's LP Beeswax leather protectant into the tacky final coat of linseed oil. It worked well enough on that axe I did the same on my other GB.

[@tskfrcdgr]

very interesting video. i think i'll subscribe to your channel. i have started fires many different ways, but it appears you used birch or some kind of bark to make a ring for the tinder. i love that kind of ingenuity, it's all about continuous learning. what was the brand of firesteel you were using, it looked longer and thicker than the swedish one. thanks from south dakota

[@SimonsDiscoveries]

That axe is huge! :)

[@BSRadar100]

Very nice axes.They are addicting aren't they. I was wondering what axe pattern you find works the best for hard woods.

[@SkogKniv]

Linseed and I also use that blacksmiths recipe of Linseed oil, bees wax and turpentine.

[@bauhausoffice]

Awesome stuff brother.

[@mikedude509]

noticed you have a woodlore badge on your jacket, ray mears will be proud :) nice video

[@kcdan1]

All I can say is man love it like all your stuff you are so good at making videos all mine are a mess lol

[@woodweezel]

What was in the plain tin can ? Bees-wax and tongue oil ? Great video... Thanks

[@strat2206]

another amazing video, your talented at making them to me they are like an episode of ray mears, take car Mike

[@nuckkingfuts]

Great video SkogKniv !! How are the Tics there , here in Massachusetts they are out in droves......

[@MILITARYSURVIVAL]

Super!

[@Smokingfeatherwalks]

Loved the video man! It was cool to hear the Bon Iver too. I wanted to ask you what kind of cook pot you were using there. Thanks for posting. Jim

[@Nemisari]

Nice video. Your voice is great for narrating, the video put me at ease. Have you ever tried forging your own axe head? Subscribed.

[@SkogKniv]

How many more do I need?

[@spike777uk]

If you could only take one? Beautiful collection though.

[@cachewild]

What?! An axe that big, you can't do that...I heard that taking a big axe into the woods means you don't know what you're doing. Hey another good vid man, thanks for sharing. The rig looks great!

[@sterlingwoodsman1710]

man that axe is sweet!

[@kaizoebara]

I love those axes, it's a shame they're hard to get around here.

[@BackcountryPatriot]

Excellent video! I always look forward to your videos. What is the song that you always play towards the end of your videos while your pictures are showing? Thanks!

[@Stoogemeister420]

awesome videos, subscribed.

[@joshdiehl8737]

Sorry I also meant to ask if you make your own handles or if not where you buy them from. The only handles I have tried thus far have been big name brands from big box stores like Truper, Seymour, and Link (which the options are very limited in store) and House handle company. Thank you!

[@tracethompson360]

ALL OF THEM.

[@SolarizeYourLife]

Why the two pine knots, you did not use them in video?

[@Engineer8811]

Dude, what is that saw you used to cut those branches? Did you make that your self? Because that's fucking awesome. Great video. I collect norlunds and plumb axes.

[@keystoneprepper]

I was wondering what supplier you use for handles?

[@skookum_87]

might be a silly question, What was the type of pot you used for your coffee? Its looks like the type I have been looking for. Nice video mate.

[@jeredsyn1964]

What was in that can in the still pics at the end? Looked like wax or something. Nice vid by the way.

[@Animal0892]

Where's the double bit??

[@SkogKniv]

This is one of those things I think every axe user should learn to do themselves. If you are going to use tool, know how to repair it right? Give it a shot, its addicting trust me. Next thing you know you will be buying up axe heads left and right.

[@jean-pierredelorraine6161]

It's the boiled coffee grains and 8 strips of bacon all over again :-D jjj! Love that knife. What kind is it exactly? Those little bowls also look cool. Are they of wood? Cheers from Europe.

[@summerman2]

where are you getting your handles from?

[@SkogKniv]

Bon iver, Blood bank.

[@forestkobold]

thnx for the vid. relaxt as always :-)

[@SkogKniv]

I actually wanted the pine knots themselves. Burned them in the fire. I don't really use fat wood in itself for tinder.

[@joshdiehl8737]

Hey I have been restoring axe heads and was just wondering did you thin that bit out a couple inches behind the bit or was it ground that way from the factory years ago? I can see that you obviously did sharpen and polish it but I was just wondering if you drastically thinned out that bit so that it had that grind that looked like a triangle ( I realize it looks that way because the top and bottom of the head are tapered ).

[@jeffreyhill5178]

Sounds like you're talking about the banana grind. If so, yes he did that himself.

[@MikeJones-vb1me]

old video, but just what I needed right now, thanks for sharing! what did you do with the limbs you chopped out of the rotting tree? edit: Just looked through the "suggested videos" and most of your look like things I like, so I'm subscribing!

[@scottscott9150]

they contain pitch and burn brightly (when not rotten) , Indians used to collect those for a bright fire to see by

[@MikeJones-vb1me]

I've collect "fat wood" or pitch wood from stumps, but I didn't realize it hung around in a log that's so rotten

[@SkogKniv]

Mike Jones You don't get much that's for sure, but the knots will contain some.

[@homesteadengineer]

Why does a specific head style "speaks" to a person. I love the Dayton style and don't really know why. Great video and the rest of us know what oatmeal and bacon is.

[@BushleagueBushcraft]

beauty skog!

[@FEDS91]

Skog, who's the tune at the end done by?

[@Tapiomovement]

what is the last song please ?

[@samualiam9981]

TapioMovement "The song in this video is from the band Bon Iver, the song is called Blood bank." Its in the description.

[@Xahemwolf]

This is the life I want.

[@picard120]

why do you buy so many axes?

[@jeffreyhill5178]

Why not? They're functioning pieces of a lost art and American history!

[@tonyabney2091]

like the video!! thanks!!

[@bwaldy1]

11:00 SICK!!!

[@SkogKniv]

I don't care what others think. I do what I do, and I don't bother the trail walker tourists when I happen to run into them. This is the reason I back country camp and stay far away from the trails.

[@SkogKniv]

Its made by Four Dog Stoves.

[@McKenzieChad]

Bacon, oats, and coffee!!!
