    While some RUclipsrs spit & moan about having to do a video more than once a week, Dave is knocking them out almost everyday and all while running a "real" survival school simultaneously. It's why Pathfinder is the best. Dave effortlessly plays chess while others stumble at checkers.

    Hey man I want you to know I've been watching you since I was 16 im 27 now I've never been able to attend one of your classed but you have taught me so much over the years and not just about self reliance you have taught me to be strong and honest I want to thank you very much sir

    Dave just a thought on your regular handle, before it breaks, or in your bag/pack, throw a couple of larger hose clamps, then if the handle breaks they are right there on the broken handle or in your bag and you could just use them to clap the bottom and top instead of the cordage hell bring 3 even and if it shrinks you can tighten it up again!

    Dave, I want you to know how much I have enjoyed going back and watching the first two seasons of Dual. Absolutely hilarious to revisit your comments and observations about Cody, his attire choices and weird edibles. I know you weren't really trying to be funny which,I think, makes it even better. Those first seasons are far better TV now that we have all gotten to know your personality more from this channel and reputation. Thanks for all you do.
    This axe is definitely on my list!

    That is nice option for sure. I would probably shave the sides and the bark while making the slit for the head, while it's still attached to the root. And pound the head with the wood more in.

    A bare bones field replacement, that could be improved over time to keep your camp functioning. Good job Dave!

  • @southernlandsolo7839
    @southernlandsolo7839 Год назад +1

    Thanks Dave. Think out of the box, there is always a way. I held off getting synthetic handled tools because I thought their handles could not be replaced in the field. Great video to get the "adapt and improvise" thinking cap on.

    Man, never would have thought to leave the bottom in place to do the work. Seems so simple and obvious now that you pointed it out.

    Thanks for the video. I like your channel and am learning a lot of great things I hope to share with my kids. I prefer tools with the handle on the inside. There is a reason why tool handles go on the inside of the tool head... It has worked for hundreds if not thousands of years. This is just trying to split the handle.

    That axe head is very similar to the shape of the Fiskars X7. I saw someone remove the "plasticy" handle and has a sort of an "I" shaped head. Great video, Dave. A very great idea to cut the notch while the tree is standing and easier to manipulate. However, like you said it's going to be very difficult to damage the original composite handle even though it's not made of a traditional bushcraft material, aka wood... hickory or ash. Than you for the woodsy knowledge professor.

    Great video. You did it 1 of the 2 ways i could see to do it. I really want that axe head now to make my own handle and use a wedged through tenon design

    If you had a auger you could drill a channel in a piece and then it would have something on top to hold it in. Then use an "X" lash and boom you're good.

    When you described how you were going to stabilize the tree by leaving it in the ground I thought that was a pretty clever way of minimizing Force exertion and calories used carry on Sir well done

  • @69burbon
    @69burbon Год назад

    Very simple solution. Only thing I would consider doing differently would be to possibly use the Awl on my pocket knife to drill a bottom hole after lashing below the bottom of the intended notch then cutting to it. We used to do something similar building stone hatchets.

  • @michaelmerrick5472
    @michaelmerrick5472 Год назад +1

    Like the forethought to do the notch and warps before sawing off.
    Thanks for sharing.

  • @dew6874

    Would like to see how the handle would be made without the saw? Maybe just the broken axe head and a knife. A "field situation" could be a downed bush plane in Alaska.

  • @JPMerolla001

    Pretty clever there dave... neat idea. I cant remember if you ever did a traditional axe handle replacment video. I remember seeing something about a tomahawk handle. Wich are pretty simple. But ill do another search through your videos to see if i just missed it.
    Thanks.
    Ps. When did you transition to silky saws? I know you were a fan of the laplander and/or buck saw... for the longest time. Even when silky saws were super popular a few years ago.

    Similar technique is used to make trap sets utilizing the planted tree with a notch in it.

    The potential problem is that you might not own a near by tree to cut down. I don't know of anyplace on public land in any state I've hunted, fished or camped where such a thing would even be close to legal. It's hard to imagine a survival situation where a new handle for your hatchet would be a priority when you already have a knife and saw.

    • @DavidCanterbury
      @DavidCanterbury  Год назад

      Lots of trees can be dead at the top and still bear been leaves in the bottom, does not mean it’s a healthy tree for sure
