Quick and concise. No 5 minute intro talking In circles and asking to like and subscribe 1000 times to pad time for more ads. Good info. I love it.
When I read axe tricks I was expecting some flips or something. Still not disappointed.
This comment made my day.
Some juggling, at least. Something.
Right! I was expecting something cool! Hell, this is just common sense!
I am 63 years old and have been an avid survivalist since I was 16.
I have watched thousands and thousands of videos on survival tricks and I just want to say that your tutorials emphasizing common Sense survival tips and strategies is as far as I'm concerned is the very best. You're a gifted teacher
and I have enjoyed your RUclips podcasts thoroughly and as you say a chance and opportunity to knock the dust off when it comes to rehoning those skills.
I just wish I had had a school like yours available when I was a young survivalist.
I pray for your continued success and prosperity🙏
Keep up the very very good work; you are a credit to your craft.
Thanks, Dan!!
I was surfing looking for tidbits on axes just like this good stuff, cut the angle,two finger and rock it. I love that!
wow... another one I look forward to using.
Great Video... "rocking technique" reminds me of an Ulu knife... Thanks!
Your vids are short & sweet , great info !
Love the content your putting out, to the point, not a ton of extra useless garbage. Easy to comprehend everything, and retain man. Love it
I received a new, razor sharp, hatchet last year as a gift. I admit I've been a bit afraid of it. These skills make it seem way less intimidating. Can't wait to try them out. Thank you 😊
The sharper the blade, the safer the cut, as it's going to bite properly and thus not likely to slip and cut something or someone by accident.
It’s just about careful practice. You’ll be fine!
Thanks Dan .👍🇨🇦
Great info thank you.
Thanks Pete!
thanks for that rocking the boat tip, that really helped e, once i took a big massive swing at a piece of bark and , i busted my fingers.
Funny as a youngen I was a chopper.. After my 30's I used the saw more.... Now 57 in using both. Thanks for the tips on such a sharp tool. Blessings to you and your family 👼🇺🇸 stay safe!
I never would have thought of the "ulu cut"!
Excellent information. Videos like these are why you have an edge over your competition...
2 finger bandit is what the ladies call me 😎
Great advice thanks for sharing with us all. 👍🇬🇧
The two finger bandit?... NSFW warning in the future please?...🤣 I can't wait to use these techniques! Thanks, and all the best until the next!
🤣🤣
Also known as the shocker
Short sweet and to the point. Great tips!
Very informative love ur show corporal was right u r good
just got the new Gerber catalog and guess who? Dan is a celebrity in the catalog fancy layout and dialog
hey Dan. thanks for everything. I would like to see longer videos once in awhile.
Thanks Dan , always great advice
Nice! I would honestly add one thing... When chopping a log, I see people balancing the log on uneven dirt and trying to keep it from falling over before they can hit it... Super dangerous and I solve this problem by using a stick in my opposite hand to hold down the log I am wanting to cut. Great video though!
I do too...
Take the advice, I have a scar on my arm because of doing this, and I was lucky.
Thank you so much !!! Always learning from you . Thank you and take care !!!
thanks for the brief yet informative video !
This video definitely sells that axe.
Nice vid Dan!
Can you do a tips and tricks on how to get your axe bit as sharp as yours? I have no trouble with my knives and my axes chop well, but I'd never imagine slicing or shaving a piece like you did in this video!
Very awesome! Precision was the word you were looking for there 😁
Thank you
Good ideas. Use your tools to the maximum benefit.
That 2 finger placement tip is awesome. Makes sense...I'm gonna try it in 3....2....1...
It's true. Everyone wants to swing it once they get it. Thanks for showing those techniques. Bushcraft should be fun not a grind. Thanks Dan.
After watching, then thumbs UP, then reading the comments...I have nothing to AXE about!
Hi Dan. 3 x cheers for more great information! Stay safe. ATB. Nigel
Great tips Dan, thank you. I worked out the angle cut idea rather by accident on hiking trip when I left all my tent pegs at home.
The grip style you mentioned is also a thing many chefs do. Usually just with one finger.
Great tips, we Okies usually do things like a bull in a china shop. Like hold my beer watch this. Thanks for the info and safety tips.
I just recently hurt myself with my axe for the first time... luckily it was only a small nick but it scared me SO MUCH!!! Axes have so much more force then you expect x___x
Brilliant tips 😁👍 so so handy cheers happy crafting & All the best.. 👍
Another great vid, I think anyone like myself who favours a tomahawk over a heavier axe uses these tips an more, would love to see your tips with a tomahawk.
That's a good axe yu have there
Thanks :)
i learned to work with the axe with the right händ at the end of the ax handle and with the left hand at the end of the ax handle. This is very useful and avoids danger.
Nice move with the fly.
quick tips. love these
Nice tips as always. Thank you!
As always awesome!
That's a hatchet !
Learned something new. Great video 😁
Thanks for the video... I Learned something new
I’ve never seen an ace that sharp before
4th Axe Trick : Fly swatter/shooer. 1:34
Lol 😆
Very good video, very informative
Two finger bandit method. While it is ergonomic, this technique can open the user up to injury to the two fingers that are pointed down the face of the axe/hatchet. Imagine you are shaving some dry hard wood using the two finger bandit method, a long sliver of wood can be driven into the two fingers as you are carving down on the hard wood. I’ve experienced this myself, and it is not pleasant! This is why I recommend using a full grip if you have to carve with an axe/hatchet. Preferably a knife should be used for fine carving work.
Thanks for axen!
Great tips, Thanks
Those are great! Thank you!
Thank you.
Thx Dan. You’re doing super lil vids
I lived in the wilderness in the western U.S. for years.
Most of the time I was alone. I learned early on that out in the woods there is no 911, no help. You learn to be careful and think about what you're doing, where your fingers and legs are in relation to that axe or saw or what's overhead. These are excellent tips to help folks keep having a good day in the woods instead of the alternative. Of course I guess worms have to eat too. 😱
Great tips
Thanks
This is probably a stupid thing to say but the axe head looks upside down? Enjoyed the video and thanks for the tips ☺
great tips. cheers
Carvability, if it were a word, would be a property of the medium rather than the axe.
As always,, a cut above..
Tanx.
All good tips my friend. I notice that your axe head looks higher on the top than below, so it looks like it is inverted. Is this intentional and if so why? It makes the centre of effort nearer to the top of the shaft, thus extending the power point higher and destabilising the axe. Am I correct or not? Good video though!
I like that bit profile, it does look like it's hung upside down though...lol...😁
I came to the comments looking to see if anyone else thought it looked like it was hung upside down, glad I'm not the only one. Maybe there's a reason?
Cutting little ass sticks with a heavy- swinging motion is my preferred method. Especially if I’m holding it with my fingers.
Tip on number two: Don't have your thumb too close to your (three inch plus or thicker) material when you are carving or you might get thick splinters under your thumb nail like I did..... three weeks in a row. Yeah, third time's the charm. Won't be doing that any time soon.
Nice vid. I'm enjoying your channel, but I have a question about Tip #1. Wouldn't it be both more efficient and safer to make the same diagonal cut by chopping down against your platform log instead of sideways across your body, against nothing but air and toward the general vicinity of your leg?
Can you recommend 3 axes, hatchets’ for long term survival…oh if that not hard enough on an extreme budget. I’m on an army disability pension. So there’s that lol. Thanks and I love you instructions
so many puns (intended or not) Love the first trick because this works with knife, chopper, & machete as well. will it work with your cut a sapling down with your knife trick? Also, did you give that one a name?
The trick with the sapling is to bend it, but the rocking cut should work great there too
Any tips on proper technique for launching it into a door?
i guess i need to carry my axe to work everyday you never know
Did I see you at the counting crows show?
I really like that axe head. Who is it made by?
Enjoyed the instructional video . Was wondering tho, what is the best chopping tools to have ( axes, hatchets, etc. My grandson is heading up to alaska to start his life in the last frontier, and he will need the best of the best to take with him, ( cheaper here in the lower 48 ). My fault, regaled my adventures to him when he was younger . Could somebody help me out ? Would appreciate it . Plan to fund his supplies for the first year . Thx
Just remember, just because something cost more, doesn't mean it is the best, research is your friend.
Is that axe hand-forged, or just really well used?
He really btfo'd that fly on the second tip
And that's only the tip of the iceberg.
What tools did our forefathers take out into the woods to make stuff either to use or to sell?
This guy’s axe is sharper than my knife lmao
In other words, you can use your ax head like an Ulu knife (Alaskan) for superior cutting control.
Great tips thanks! Off topic: Did you and your buddy ever do a video of your yard sale finds?
Idea, using your axe in preparing food.
many times I've watched people making kindling sticks out of slabs off of firewood and grimaced.
Knock off the inner core of a pie cut piece, realy good in resinous woods,.
if wedge is too thick, do not,no not, do not try holding it. Straight up and down to sliver.
Instead hold in one hand by laying it flat on wood block and walk it it good couple blows with back of hatchet and then leaving flat holding of stick in one hand and just ge tly split opposite end.
If as you hit turn blade aa bit a day slivers fall to sides..
Old time grandma demand about building fire in wood cook stove.
Want wedge shaped pieces place point down on e fire going.
Points catches fla.e quickly; but wood last longer as largest part of wedge not directly in flame and your coals fall allowing g wider part to gradually fl onto them..
Works.great on banking your campfire afore going sleep.
Place split ronds wedge side down and then large side on top wedge up.
when camping or in active wood splitting breaks I alway leave are bit in the wood, no rust or oxidation on sharp edge..
And you always know where at.
I DO NOT LIKE RAZER EDGE AXE WITH TWO FLAT A BLADE; I SHAVE MY FACE WITH MY KNOIFE AND SHAVE LIMBS WITH A KNIFE.
TOO THIN A BLADE DOES NOT "SPLIT WOOD IT CUTS A BLADE EDGE WITH GENTLE RAISE IN THICKNESS IS BEST
TOO THICK AND LIGHY HATCHET BOUNCE.
Was hoping you could have shown us how to juggle three axes at a time. Step up the game a bit, Dan.
which axe would you buy today, that is readily available? TIA
If I can't do it w/ my machete, then it doesn't need to be done !
Two finger bandit...hehe
Ive honestly never seen an axe that sharp...im just not looking hard enough...😯
Rather than say, "carveability," I propose the term, "carvaceousness": sounds kinda sexy.
What axe head and handle is that
What axe do you use ?
Dug this one. Thanks.
Looking for a good axe and hatchet. Do you carry both or just one? Also, what is a good make of axe that wont break the bank? $200 or less.. Also Thanx for the vids have learned alot!👍
Going to any junk store or like flee market.. assuming you have the tools, just restore one. I mean you can pretty much get what you need for under $200 and you'll have the satisfaction of knowing what you did to make it beautiful and effective again.
Ps I'm not trying to be a smarty- I got into knife making not to long ago- literally $50 bench grinder, $45 angle grinder... bam two knives one old busted file- I can carve a point, make notches, start a fire with a ferroxcium rod- I'm able to throw a spark off of quarts too , carve cups, spoons, spatulas. I was just about as giddy as a school boy when I actually saw what I could do with just alittle effort. I went for a stick tang on my first because the handle of a file is more malleable than the actual working part, works great heated it and just stuck it into a squared off chunk of polonia with a hole drilled into it... I won't baton with it cuz it's not its use but... dry rambling.. just give restoring one a shot, you'll thank yourself later; and you'll appreciate it that much more- sorry for the book- and less than related topic. $5 dollars says you'll surprise yourself. Take care- be safe out there.
what model of hand axe is that ?
