We'll quickly break down with they're best used for (some are no brainers), how necessary they are, and if they're dangerous to use. While some are obvious, some of the others might be more useful than you would have thought!

I'm a professional trailbuilder and here are some commonly overlooked tools. Sledgehammer; for smashing apart rocks rocks too big to move and compacting soil in tight spaces like posts and in between rocks of rock gardens. Bow rakes; albeit covered in the video but they can be used for tamping soil as well as using the backside of them to grade the trail surface. Pro tip, use the backside of a bow rack in rooty soil while moving material to avoid getting the tines snagged up with roots. Another pro tip is to wrap your bucket handles in a healthy amount of tape so they are actually comfortable to hold.
Great tips, thank you!
Never thought I would watch a video about trail tools... yet here I am... haha
You missed two very neccessary tools for trail building: a mini-excavator and good buddies.
Sawzall with a limb trimming blade for trimming trees and cutting out roots.
Wow. I never realized that I literally have like 80% of these things. Looks like I’m building a trail!
OK, trail tools videos might be niche, but this is the best one I've seen !
The “Pulaski” in this video is actually a cutter mattock. Pulaskis have a smaller hoe coupled with an true axe blade opposite. Pulaskis are also distinguished by using a narrow axe handle, whereas the mattock has a thicker rounded handle.
i have a cat 953. makes trail building pretty easy. maintaining the machine is the hard part.
Nicely put together video sir.
Definitely one of, if not the best presented lists I've seen in a long time.
The funk backing track was also super.
Omg !! This makes me wanna build a good 4 seconds track with what i got as my yard at home 🙈
This is great. I just started building a trail in my back yard for my 4 year old and I to ride.
Would love to see a ”how to design a jump” video
I would add that the new electric chain saws are awesome and the batteries last a ridiculously long time. Simple as on and off with your finger and no annoying gas motor noise.
I will say down here we used a folding hand saw and a SawsAll a ton.
Tiller is from 'Maximum Overdrive'.
If you like the machete try out an italian style roncola or manaresso, it works way much better on thickets (those are meant for that). A machete its more suitable for greener and softer stuff

For screws, Robertson here in Canada are the best. They pretty much never strip. But they are almost impossible to get in the USA. Side note they were invented and manufactured here in Milton Ontario
Love the necessity vs danger scale!!!
Ratings were very clever Entertaining: 5/5
I like how non-Canadians use all types of screws that we pretty much replaced with Robertson screws. They are a life changer.
You left out one very valuable tool. Your neighbors donkey. It can drag beams and logs better than most things and is easily coaxed into doing it with snacks.
Very nice video. I really like these kind of videos.
Great tool arsenal for any trail builder. Very nice.
Great video!
Another useful one is a good nursery ball cart. I’ve been able to move 100+ pound rocks up and down my trails all day by myself
Cool music on this one, your uploads are always quality!!
I thought it was fun and funky lol
Ps. Sharpen the tiller blades... for roots of course
Not tools but things you should always have are a good pair of gloves and safety glasses/sunglasses.
If you can get your hands on one, a plate compactor makes quick work of turning loose, soft dirt into well-packed, durable trail, especially for public trails.
Square shovel, rake, axe, garden saw and a 5 gallon bucket is basically the only tools I use when trail building
Great video 👍🏻
But where can I get one of these self driving tillers? That one is great 😂
great video and tips! I think people overlook the basics and its so important not to!
A can of beer is definitely a very useful tool.
Nice video! What’s the angle grinder you used for a brief second called?
love it!
Soul Trail 🤙🏾
Cool nicknames I thought i was the only that did that lol
nice man
Time to go buy some tools I'll need some day, better be prepared
A mini excavator would be pretty handy
Your Pawlowski is weird! I have a regular axhead with a 2 inch wide Mattoc that’s about 3 inches long. That Matic looks more like what you see on a pic Mattoc.
nice
You missed the two most important tools:
A good pair of gloves
Advil
Epic
1/5 danger on the shovel
I got a concussion from one lol
That 1/5 will sneak up on ya 🤣
Come for the facial hair, stay for the tool ratings 🤣🤣🤣
I'd give rakes at least an excitement level of 2/5, you can ride it like it's a pony!
What is the link to the song in the back?
Which Mcleod is decent without spending a crazy amount. I see the yellow one on amazon but is it too fisher-pricey?
Not sure honestly, I bought mine locally from North40
The “Pulaski” invented here in northern Idaho
Wallace! Same place where Dantes Peak was filmed lol
Dynamite
20/5 Blood Lust🤣🤣🤣
The name of your loppers lol
a pulask and a pickaxe and pretty much the same thing
I don't get how u murikans deal with a showel without a handle or grip. Your forearms must be huge.
lol ‘Rakes’ Excitement Rating = 0 🥳
four wheeler
Classic background porno tunes. Great when discussing tools and clearing bush!
Who else calls the mclasky a mattic?
all this list needs is a big old tub of elbow grease
please more scruffy content
"It's definitely dangerous when being misused"
Sooo... Why you not wearing chaps or a helmet
