Welcome To Survival-Russia. One of the very best Outdoors and Survival related communities on RUclips, and yes, It's a pretty good Channel too.
My name is Lars. I'm From Denmark but I live in Rural Russia now. I live at a Homestead in wild nature surrounded by a huge forest.
On The Survival-Russia channel we do all things related to the Outdoors Lifestyle. I share my thoughts and experiences on Survival Techniques for the woodlands of the Northern Hemisphere. the Reality of Survival. I share Techniques and ways of the Siberian Tribesmen and the Russian Longhunters of the older days. Things not shown outside of Russia very much.
On this Channel we also do Off-Road driving, Vehicle builds, Metal Detecting, all things Outdoors basically. Enjoy!

Guys the first Minute of this video Officially blew my mind! The videos we made together where were walking through this trail was crazy because of the amount of snow! The trails that Lars opened is gone and its a lot of dirt ground now unreal! The camp site is so cool to see without snow this video is just epic even in the first minutes! The two ways of fixing were awesome of course but #2 was very much something I could have never imagined!
Field experience from the Elders will not be forgotten thanks to dr. Lars!
brings back memories of my father who was bought up on a farm in Estonia. He made an axe handle in a similar way after he found an old axe head somewhere. It lasted his lifetime (94 years). I inherited it and put a brand new shop bought handle in place of the old one. now I have passed it on to my son who does a lot of 4 x 4 recreational camping. The point being the axe head is still going strong.
Great video! It's unbelievable how much I've learned from your videos over the year. Thank you for your content and keep it up!
Thank you very much!
Well done!!
Thank you Jeff :)
If only you could shoot that axe head out of your shotgun.
Now that was Awesome! Love seeing the old Siberian ways. Ingenious.
Excellent idea...willow is more abundant and its also springy so this method absorbs the impact energy more efficiently than a solid handle and compensates for the willow's own weaknesses as wood.
This is the first time I've seen that second method. I hadn't even considered that as a possibility. Thanks for showing it.
Lars always explains things clearly and to the point. With the way this world is heading everyone should be gaining knowledge like this.
I was thinking you'd used the curved end of the birch as the handle.
Yeah but the curved part is the part closest to the ground, and the strongest part too.
Thank you Lars. I haven't been trusted to work with Axes yet. When I learned to brawl, my enthusiasm may have startled someone, but I don't mean anyone any harm anymore; I got that out of my system working with things.
Good job sapper. Cheers from NZ🇳🇿.
Good morning from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🖐.. Good to see you
Morning!
Nice jacket man! Love belgian jigsaw!!
Pretty neat, I just fixed an axe handle and if it breaks again when Im out in the wilds next week, I now have a couple of great ideas for a field repair.
Very good information for a replacement handle. I have picked up a number of great ideas from your videos. Thank you.
Glad to help.
Great job Lars , very unique indeed , good to visit again , thanks for sharing , God bless brother !
Thanks, you too!
Vinniesdayoff has very good video on making an emergency handle. One of my favorite outdoor channel. No bs
I like the sound that the Axe makes, nice forged steel.
Thank you Lars . I really like that birch handle design😊😊😊 That axe head rings like a bell It is so well tempered.😊
Thank you , Lars .
🐺
You are very welcome LC :)
Cool beans , Lars dropping some knowledge ... most entertaining also.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
I seen Jordan Jonas from Alone do this 2nd method, he lived with the Evenk tribes. Fascinating people, real true woodsman.👍🏻
Excellent! That axe head worked pretty good for roughing out a new handle. Very good video!
Great job, Lars! Improvising!👌
You made a really big tomahawk 😄...ingenious
great job on the handles Lars! I don't see you using much fatwood, I think because you have so much birch, but when I 'Get out and Train, and Get it Done' in my area, fatwood is most helpful and so is cedar bark to get a fire started. Thanks very much!
I would have never thought of using a v branch set up for an Axe head but the mechanics of it is fantastic!!
Wow Lars, thanks for this info. Useful fixes. The #2 method is giving me some ideas on how to fix these gouge heads onto new handles.
Good fix Lars
For a Dane you’re pretty awesome! ;-) Nice work and video, as always!
Afternoon from America. I appreciate your teachings
Hello there!
@@SurvivalRussia back at ya hope you are staying warm. New here going back to your site and subbing. Oh lol I subbed before I left the page after your vid😁
Single bevel axes were used to square up timber before everyone had saws. A carpenter would have a left hand and a right hand axe. I have my grandfather's left hand axe. He cut sleepers for the railway.
COOL
Always good is you and learn something new Lars. I need to make new handle for 7lb trojan I used for cedar shake harvesting on the British Columbia coast.👍🇨🇦
Easy for you lars your an excellent woodworker craftsman.
Thank you very much!
Many Thanks Lars for another fine video. Your knowledge and friendship are again seen here in The Great State of Texas.
Peace Brother
Thank you very much Abdullah. Peace bro!
That's pretty awesome I like learning stuff like this. Thanks for sharing Lars
Great work Lars!! I was a Land Surveyor working in the thickest part of West Louisiana for 14 years. We used "Brush Axes" to cut survey line and just got used to them. Thin 20 inch blades with a hook end on one side and very light. I'm getting up there in age but I still can cut down trees with ease. Not like an axe, the weight helps power the stroke with the brush axe you have to muscle through the swings but they stay sharp and penetrate green wood easily. Oh well, that was 39 years ago in the Sabine River Basin from the Toledo Bend Dam to the Gulf of Mexico, my glory days. I still watch every video you put out since before you even had Patreon. I would love to meet you one day and shake your hand. You are de Man Lars.
I've seen a lot, but that second method was new to me. Great stuff.
Me too :)
Love learning these oldschool tricks and crafts. Please keep them coming! Also, Hello! From Newfoundland Canada!
This is the coolest bit of bush knowledge I’ve learned in a while. I might have to track down an axe head and give this a go as I’m on my way north for the summer field season and birch will be readily available. Thanks Lars!
Have great time!
Very good solutions. Maybee than on the curved one, you should try to turn the head on the other side. It will be more efficient .
This is the stuff I love, keep up the good work Lars!
I found this video to be very informative and useful. I have seen a few other videos that show you how to make a field expedient handle if you happen to break one out in the woods while working with an axe. Thank you Lars for this lesson!
Thank you! These two methods are by far the best I have seen.
@@SurvivalRussia I agree with your comment. Such knowledge will prove useful to many who watch these videos!
nice video, looks simple when you do it :)
I remember how I was trying to make a handle for an axe once as a boy. it looked solid until I tried it out, the metal part flew away and broke my mother's flower pot, haha
That second method just blew my mind!
Me as well :)
thanks
Awesome!!! 🤩👍
That is an impressively-sharp axe head!
really nice job
Pretty cool Lars. A good bushcraft skill to know.
Certainly :) Thank you.
great video Lars!!! THANK YOU!!!
Glad you liked it!
Those Russian axes are so useful, the big eye makes using softer hardwoods very doable. Enjoyed your video Lars and must say I'm motivated now to find me a Russian axe head. Thank you for making this.
Thanks Trapper!
Great video
Camp Mexico, right? I remember you guys breaking that trail. Danny took one step and went up to his waist in snow!
When I started mining and quarrying in the UK nearly 40 years ago, I worked with the oldest quarryman there. We used to buy new 3 kg sledge hammers and he would cut the hickory handles off. He would replace them with apple wood to increase the spring in the handle to increase the impact. It did seem to be better but annoyed our boss. Maybe in the past different woods were used for different tasks.
Imagine generations past, they would walk through the woods and know which plants were edible, which were deadly, what to use for medicine, each wood had certain properties best suited for specific uses…nowadays people walk through the woods with headphones on, staring at their phone! 😂😂. Apple wood is super strong. Elm is all gnarly grain, perfect for the hubs of wagon wheels. White oak is still used for barrels because liquid won’t weep through it. All things that used to be common knowledge, I wish I could go back in time for a while and study!
Spring is in the air🙂
Impressive indeed brother.
damn thats so cool!
Good job brother, love from Canada.
2:56 Citronsommerfugl (Gonepteryx rhamni) known as the common brimstone
Very good, well done!👏👏👏here in the southern USA we would use hickory or oak!
Excellent!
Great video lars top ..
Thanks 👍
Nikolai should write a book about all that he knows.
Amazing.
Good video. The Fawns foot of the first axe would maybe produced a better grip.
Possible, but it is the strongest part of the sapling and this is how the Evenki tribe do it. They know what they are doing :)
Love it!!!
Good work!!
Thank you!
Very cool.
Great video! Thank you for your content and keep it up!
Awesome bro
This was super awesome!!
Wow !!! Great info I spent hours shaping axe handles with moderate success will try this one thanks :)
This is only for temporary use. I doubt it will hold up for long term use.
Great Video
Gooood stuffff mate !
Great vid sir!
Thanks!
Interesting.
Great stuff as always Lars!
Thanks again!
Bedankt
Thank you for the support! Have a great weekend.
Hello good evening 👍👋
Hello 👋
Ларс! Берёза, акация, дуб, бук хорошая ручка для топорища..... Я говорил надо туры использовать в лес для экстремального отдыха.....
Клён тоже ))
Ash.
It's certainly faster to make your own handle than trek to the nearest hardware store and back again.
Wood is an amazing material and has been used by our species for longer than the earliest archaeological artifacts. I suspect the motive for developing stone tools was simply to work wood and animal bone more efficiently.
Cool methods for sure. For the second method, after the head is in its final place on the haft, would it help to place some kind of wedge between the two forks? My thought would be that there wouldn't a space for the forks to bend and crack when you chop.
The head is locked by the spring tension and the fork is a wedge on it's own :)
same thoughts here

Hey Lars, have you got any idea if that guy who was making the wool hunter coats is still in business, and more importantly, do you think it’s possible for him to ship to canada? I was really thinking about ordering, and then the war started……the handles are pretty awesome btw.
I thought I was the only one who believed "it's not truly yours until it has drawn your blood."
That is how it is bro :)
Well done ya so smart I wish I went camping I will b for I die thanks Lars
😊
I was expecting the root end of the birch to be where your hand went and wedges used to hold the head on
Like regular hammers use.
The root end is the strongest part of course. This is also how tomahawks are fitted.
Very informative, Lars! Did you purchase a new video camera and lens? The foreground and background both stay in perfect focus. Also, there is very little to no lens flare! Great job as usual!
I realy like your Videos 👍 keep up the good content .
I appreciate it!
method one: broken handle: make a new one
method two: broken head: forget it, get your metal detector and find another one.
I'm not sure if it's been mentioned already, but the willow version may benefit from a wedge driven down between the branches? Thanks for the lesson
Много топоров делала компания(артель)Труд, из Вачи, возможно это один из них.

What a constrast, water, mud but still snow.
Great video! I know that there are a lot of different patterns of Russian axes. I have 12 drawings from early 1900 and some axes as Bielski, Odessa No2 and Jaroslv. Is yours an Seberian or Moscow pattern? Any makers stamp on it?
I can't find any markings on it. It was quite rusty when I dug it out of the ground.
