Is the GBA Wildlife Hatchet really that good? Well in this video we discuss the pro's and cons of this little hatchet and see why I think it makes a pretty stellar piece of equipment for bushcraft. I also discuss why this is my go-to hatchet for bushcraft and survival practice.

Great video! Much appreciated! Love the woods! Blessings to you my friend.
I came to this conclusion about 5 years ago if you have a GB Wildlife hatchet and a Silky "Big-Boy" folding saw there's pretty much what you need for surviving in the woods especially if you have a spyderco s90v military OR a paramilitary 2 and a (BIC lighter & Ferro rod) in your pocket and a canteen and cup on your belt and a "heat shield in your back pocket. (in the lower 48 not Alaska though!).
Fully agree. I have several hatchets and axes but if I bring one this is the one I take.
Exactly!
I think you'd like the GBA Scandinavian Forest Axe for your next, two-handed axe. Just a thought.
That's funny because I own one!
@@AlaskanFrontier1 Well played! :D
Thanks, I just found my granddad's old hatchet and appreciate this video very much!
Glad I could help!
I got mine when they ran $100. Best $100 I ever spent.
Lucky little duckling.
Excellent Video
Thank you very much!
i use a g, b sweedish forest axe, and hand hatchet for everything except heavy splitting.
That is awesome! My setup is very similar.
I agree about the Hatchet feeling like an extension of your body.
Although I have a Wildlife Hatchet I prefer to take the Mini Hatchet, even though weight isn't an issue as I cycle and packraft rather than hike.
A Mini Hatchet and a Silky Saw are a Dynamic Duo (read to the Batman theme tune!).
YES I personally like the Mini coupled with the Silky "Super Accel" very small and very light weight.
My parents will buy me one for birthday!
Awesome!
@@AlaskanFrontier1 i know!
Greetings from Poland!
Its a luxury item for sure. But hey, you can do almost everything with a $20 Mora Robust knife, or you can buy a $200 Bark River that does the same things. Might do it a little better, but 10x better? At the end of the day you buy it if you can afford it and want to enjoy a luxury item.
Good point.
NO --- it's not a good point --- a McDonalds cheeseburg will feed him but do think he just eats a McDonald's everytime or do you believe he has a Nice T-Bone or New York Strip Steak every once in a while?@@AlaskanFrontier1
I went back and forth in my head over this hatchet but just couldn't justify the cost so picked up an indestructible little Estwing. It chops everything I need and I use the poll to hit my tent stakes in without a worry. The GB is a beautiful axe but I'd be scared to really use it. And worry about leaving it in the bush somewhere or someone 'borrowing it'.
I go car camping and hiking a lot. My sister gave me this hatchet as a gift for my birthday. it is my first hatchet or axe. It sounds like a great hatchet, but is this overkill for what I do?
Depends on how you camp.
Comment for the algorithms 😁👍
GB 🙏
I couldn’t find the hatchet so I got a Swedish Carving Axe. It has a lot more blade to it. What do you think?
Hmm I am unfamiliar with that one, but having more blade on a hatchet tends to be for the better as one of the primary purposes of hatchets is carving
did you ever get into Kukri's? I was wondering if a Kukri could compare to a hatchet in performance.
I never really did. Unfortunately
Ok I can get behind that, but the price point kills it for me I mean it's a little like comparing a Timex to a Rolex they both do essentially the same thing (one might do that a little better) which is going to hurt more to replace 🤗
Fair, fair.
Nice, but why are you cutting green trees on the video?
Just to bug you. Get over it.
Ok, now since think I need a GBA hatchet and it’s all your fault! 😁
Good luck finding one! 😂 but yes they are the best of the best
Son, nice hatchet. However $ 160 for such a small hatchet is not justifiable.
A $ 30 Fiskar does the job. I use the same Fiskar hatchet for the past 25 years.
No problems with it so far.
harbor freight tools will fix your car, but a craftsman will use his snap on tools. sorry you cant understand this, son.
First off, thank you. I do enjoy my GBA. However if a Fiskars does the trick, then keep on using it. Bushcraft is unique for everyone and while I am happy to have my GBA I will never impose my ideals of tools on anyone.
I agree. Crazy ass prices on that brand while there are others (cheaper or in the middle) that are just as fantastic
I have both the Fiskars and the GBA. I won’t even bother with the Fiskars anymore. These are just like any you would find in a hardware store. When you pick it up, it feels like a lump of metal at one end of a stick. The GBA feels like a specialty tool and cuts WAY better! You get what you pay for!
People act like $160 is so much money. Especially for a tool that will last them a lifetime. Yet, they'll spend that on a phone bill for 2 months.
I love my Gransfors Bruks so much I don't use it!!(= it's far to pretty I just beat on my Husqvarna axes instead, lol stay safe&happy brotha!!(=
Ahahaha that is hilarious but I think you are missing out on some incredible tools!
@@AlaskanFrontier1 oh no I agree with you they can shave hair the mirror polish is to pretty to tarnish lolol😁✊🔥
