Cody, love your channel and I look forward to everh video. My wife and I, on a much smaller scale, are homesteading in rural WV. I know the following will anger many of your subscribers, but as one who has helped rescue many wolves, and seen first hand the agony that is inflicted by leg traps, I was dismayed by your giving, as one of the uses of a good hatchet, securing a leg trap. I am no bleeding heart. Like you I am always armed, and, as Jeff Cooper was wont to say, have seen the flag fly. But I became sick years ago of killing something that wasn't trying to hurt me. Anyway, just had to mention it. Best to you and Mrs. W.
Don't think RUclips has anything to do with that it's Cody that is reshowing the video. Guess he thinks he needed to from request or just picked it for reshow. TREEHOUSE CODY FINISH THE TREEHOUSE
The Gransfors Bruks Wildlife is about as perfect as a hatchet as you can get. It can be used to fall four to five inch trees or branches and mostly any other smaller task you can throw at it. Great vid Cody!
Who the flippity-jip thinks a knife can do the work of a hatchet!?
Akademee Nutnfancy.
+matt4270 he ain't the only one....I think he says that if you are willing to deal with the weight then go for it....just make sure you can carry it. he states we burn less calories to saw a tree and its parts then baton the wood than to use nothing but a hatchet. also, he says that it is much safer to use the saw and large knife than to use a hatchet for everything. there aren't many people who can use a hatchet to the proficiency as cody and company do. I like my silky big boy and katana boy for cross cutting...small forest axe for splitting those into smaller wedges....then use a knife for making small tinder and feather sticks. there are decent arguments for both....now....there is no way a large knife can replace an axe...not hatchet I mean an axe....
one more thing....ws is showing a small bushcraft knife saying it can't compare to an axe/hatchet...it can't. what nutn and other proponents of large knives are saying is that a LARGE knife (rtak 2, becker bk9, essee junglass, kuhkris, etc) can take the place of said hatchet/axe in many chores...then use the saw for others...so, ws is really not providing an adequate example when he shows his small knife....which I wish I had....I think he lost that one....whoever finds it is one lucky schmuck I tell ya.
to each his own....
Kyle Jorgensen ? Are you serious? Dave Canterbury is a huge axe guy? Youve cleanly never read his books or watched his videos. Ignorant twat. And speak for yourself when it comes to a large knife for chopping. Out in the summer, when theres a lot more brush, a large knife can be much more versatile than an axe or hatchet.
Kyle Jorgensen so clearly youve never actually used a large knife in a Bushcraft environment. And you heard DC say one idea of why carry a knife that can "do it all" then immediately stopped listening to the rest of it. Because if you listened to the rest, you would realize that the concept is only if you lose your axe, your saw, and your carving knife is some freak fuckin accident, you still have a 4-5in belt knife that can do most tasks. Youre all talk. I doubt youve taking his classes and you sure as hell have never compared the versatility between the two. Fun fact 100% of your survival gear has never been used in any situation, recreational or survival.
Kyle Jorgensen knifenews.com/man-survives-four-days-lost-in-the-mountains-with-buck-110/ now, its not a BELT KNIFE but you get the point. And if edged tools are the hardest thing to recreate, why would you not carry a belt knife as well as chopping tool?
thanks for mentioning Austria. We are a small county but still proud of the quality of our products.
My best wishes to you and your family from Austria, Andreas
btw. i really enyoy your channel!
This was the inspiration I needed to get my hatchets back into nice condition.
The thing is, it isn't the tool, it is the job. Where I go, it is illegal to take down standing timber, even dead standing timber. I don't want a hatchet that will take a good bite. I want a hatchet that will split and not get stuck. Yes, I want a fat hatchet. Some areas I go, all you can burn is driftwood. My fires are very small cooking fires. You are right for you, but I am better off with a modestly sharp splitter.
Great video. Nice blast from the past! These are the videos that got me watching the Wranglerstar channel.
Great advice ! Thanks for the clear and concise videos you put up. It makes a world of difference to people like me.
Shouldn't split the pelvis of big game it expose the hams to debris while dragging.
Gotta make one more comment. You are a homesteader. I am a leave no trace hiker, with a hatchet. Trimming branches and making a pile for someone else to look at is a big no no. We are all blind to our own blind spots.
Council Tool is also a good brand
Also what’s wrong with the fiberglass handle on the hoe?
What knife of hatchet was that that you used in the video? I want one. Tell me where and I will buy it
I found an older Wetterlings head at an antique store marked at $40 with 20% off.. normally I would say that's too much but I couldn't pass up a good quality hatchet head.. made a nice handle for it thanks to your guidance!
Good video.
This guy is a very nasty man and is a long way from being a good Christian.
Nice video and information. Have a happy Sunday. Happy Fathers day to you
How come he doesn't mention hultafors once
This guy was much funnier on scrubs.
sorry but that's not how to fall a tree!
is a mozr and an ax of 600 grams such wood to knock down ?
Don't forget the excellent British axes. Gilpin, Elwell and Brades.(considered to be in the top ten foundries in its day) To name but a few. Just as good as a modern Swedish axe in my opinion. Just they are long since gone. Cheers Duncan
Great editing and good tips. Not sure if it's an old video or not though.
this guy ruined the word proper for me
Nice
Give me eight hours to chop down a tree and I will spend six hours of it sharpening my axe. Quote from Abraham Lincoln.
For desert brush the Estwing works perfect,

Great channel!
Awesome video.
Highlandwoodworking.com sells three different brands of axes at a good price too.
Gransfors bought Wetterling and thereby their forge. As of 2017 they discontinued producing axes under the Wetterling name, to focus only on the Gransfors name.
Husqvarna axes are made by Hults Bruk - Hults bruk have their own Hults Bruk (HB) marked axes - a far better option than the Husqvarna. And if you find axes named Hultafors - it is essentially Hults Bruk axes, since Hulst Bruk is owned by Hultafors - Hults Bruk makes Hult axes and stamp them "Hultafors". On the Hultafors Axes you´ll still find the "HB" stamped into the head of the axe - as well as on the brass button of their grinding puck.
Husqervarna and Fiskars are hardware store axes, and their pretty good. Not a Gransfors Buck or Wetterlings, buut still good enough
+Wranglerstar2 you should definatly try hultafors axes. it is very good and it is hand made in swedish steel with old methods from1697. and they have an okay price too.
Has anyone had any experience with these (Swiss surplus camp axes)? when I bought it, it was labeled Swedish. turns out with all my research it's Swiss. it's got a 2.5lb head and an awkward straight handle. any input or advice? thanks in advance.
I know this is an old video, but are you familiar with old antique hatchets? I'm having hard time identifying one, and wondered if you can help? I posted on blade forums, but nothing back yet.
you seem to prefer hatchets to tomahawks i was wondering why? is their a performance difference ?
Goot stuuf...vewy, vewy goot stuff
I use my Husqvarna carpenter's axe as my hatchet and like it a lot. Thanks for sharing more of your knowledge with us.
Actually my ol Norlands Hudson Bay Boys hand axe has served me well for more years than I like to admit to. I no longer remember if or how much I modded it but thru the past couple decades it has been my go to ifn I'm not using a hawk. Thanks for sharing with us. Please keep up the good work.
ol greybeard dino
; - ) >
Good information thanks for posting
Hello wranglerstar my name is Brian first of all love your videos appreciate the knowledge you share with people I've hunted and fished all my life done tree work on and off for about 3 years recently started getting into Bushcraft my question is I want a bigger Hatchet maybe two or three footer I have the small estwing and it does okay but I'm finding myself in the woods needing to cut bigger trees for firewood dead ones of course I would like to have a nice one could you recommend some to me price point maybe not over a hundred dollars sorry the messages so long again preciate what you do
where do you buy gransforks bruk axes and tools?
+Jean-Philippe Bilodeau gransfors
I have the same hatchet, forged by the same man AS! I find it too heavy for one handed use but I'm a wimp.
I also have the husky, I got it because it was so cheap, that thing feels heavier and much less comfortable than the GB. That short and heavy husky I really wish it was fitted with a straight handle.
Very educational! Thank you for sharing your helpful tips!!!
Curious on what you think of the Council Tool woodcraft pack axe when compared to the Gränsfors Bruk?
Thanks for reposting this one. A good video for sure. It does make me realize though, how much improved your movie making skills have become over the years.
Environmentally conscious, good stuff :)
hey im wondering if you have a link for maybe similar to your carry axe? im a 17 year old and dont really have a lot of options for making my own handle because here in southern california hickory is expensive and never very good i have a couple axes and a hatchet or two but they are all newer poor quality with bad handles and i would like to find one with a proper palm swell and a mid length handle for kindling type use im just not certain what to look for online
I’m not saying willams knife can replace a hatchet but u can survive with it
Hi, I'm looking to find a hatchet for splitting kindalin. What should I look for in a hatchet
Does he know about hultafors? Never heard him mention them when he talks about brands
Probably not the one I sharpened and then hit my knee with.
This is a great video!
Thank you for sharing.
I could've sworn I already saw this video, then I noticed the video title and channel name...
great info - learned more than i thought i would have - subscribed
love your videos thanks again for the great tips, best of wishes to you and your family.
why do you have a second channel ?
That was a really great video! To the point and pleasant.
What model is this GB? Looks to be model 420.
Hey Cody and others... is it worth grinding down a hardware store hatchet?
Would a Wetterling Backcountry axe be a good choice? I'm really considering buying one but I want to know if you think the head is tapered well enough for deep penetration while chopping. If you had to choose, would you get a Wetterlings Backcountry or a Hultafors Classic Hunting axe?
+Devon Spencer I have the same question....back county axe, small forest axe or hunters axe....so confusing...anyone out there got any good advice?
Have u tried a William collins master woodsman ?
still a well done and worthwhile watch. I want to know how the dam and pond are doing.
Hello and love your videos bye the way. All those companies you named are all over seas companies. They all make a great product however there are many small time axe makers here in the USA. Here are the names of a few Bray Oaks Forge, Hoffman blacksmithing, Stonehenge metal works, Jesse Reed, Tommy T's axes, and Craig Roost. All of these guy are reasonable priced and will build you a custom axe. You can order what ever kind of handle you want size shape etc and whatever kind of axe head you want. So before you send your money over seas check these guys out. Also check Axe junkies out on Facebook for more custom axe makers. Thanks for the video and keep up the good work God bless.
My best hatchets, knives, and a custom dagger have all come from Stonehenge Metal Works!
Good old axe video! (y)
great vid i love it win you do a bushcraft stuff
how are the condor axes any input?
I can tell you’re a chainsaw guy
Where's your Silky?
Great video. A hatchet it always a good tool to have.
Great info. Thanks.
I have a sf axe I want the hatchet an falling
How about estwing?
great video
Yeah! Beard!
2:17 me too !
why the repost? dont get me wrong its a great video and the more people who see it the better but did it get deleted or something?
Mitch Kellar I do not think I ever saw this video. Might had been a glitch where not many people saw it.
Jesse Sisolack maybe i definitely remember watching it before but you know how youtube i.
Mitch Kellar I also saw it before
He mentioned in a video on the main channel that he was going to start reposting some of his favorite older videos, in a better quality format.
awesome thanks Ethan McCrary.

Ron B Second
Ron B who cares!
:D i shoiuld have put a smilie behind my sentence the first time, i fail to see the point with the first trolls... :)
The intro to this video is from Horace kephart which you should give credit too
A woodsman should carry a hatchet, and he should be as critical in selecting it as in buying a gun. The notion that a heavy hunting knife can do the work of a hatchet is a delusion. When it comes to cleaving carcasses, chopping kindling, blazing thick-barked trees, driving tent pegs or trap stakes, and keeping up a bivouac fire, the knife never was made that will compare with a good tomahawk. The common hatchets of the hardware stores are unfit for a woodsman’s use. They have broad blades with beveled edge, and they are generally made of poor, brittle stuff. A camper’s hatchet should have the edge and temper of a good axe. It must be light enough to carry in or one’s knapsack, yet it should bite deep in timber.
The first minute or two of the video is him pretending to say what Kephart said and then he just parrots the stuff others said, it's pretty obvious that in practice, he knows barely anything about axes. He "brought back" the edge on that Gransfors somehow despite that literally being the original grind, he trashes wedge shaped axes despite yet he says Wetterlings axes are good, so what is it? Is the wedge shape good or not? If it isn't, why are you calling Wetterling axes good, if it is, why is he trashing the hardware store axes? Believe it or not, the wedge shape is great, it's just his incompetence at grinding an axe "properly".
.... a knife like a kukri chops as well if not better than most hatchets
Sem Dijkstra no it doesn't
no
While I know it's more work, it is really nice to see these highly edited videos again.
