Wait r u sponsored? Even if u give a negative review, u have to legally say that they’re paying you I think
I saw one of those survival cards with fishing hooks and a frog gig, I think that may be useful, but all the other survival cards I think are just a gimmick, but it's fun watching you test stuff like that out anyways, so thanks for the entertainment!
After all those tests and reviews
i wonder what your survival axe design would look like...
the main problem with those survival cards seems to be either the lack of proper weight or the saw failing to properly build a handle in the first place...
Love the Promontory music from the Last of the Mohicans. I'd have to do a hard pass on that "gadget". I suppose it would be alright to do some butchering or fine work of some sort.
I'm not sponsored or being paid. I purchased my axe on amazon
A micro survival axe. For when you only want to survive a little bit.
🤣🤣
No. It’s for you walking by seeing someone without an axe. And go. Here. Lemme make a lil’ some something far ya.
And have a nice chat with airport security.
A little survival, as a treat
It's a survival hors d'oeuvres appetizer an snack pack.
"Its also possible to learn mandarin" "Is it more efficient than a round river rock?" this man is stone cold savage.
Yeah, the first one I almost wet myself...the second I actually ran for the bathroom. ✌️🍺🎩
I think it would of been possible to make a temp axe with a random branch to them make the proper handle?
I want “is it more efficient than a round river rock?” To be the top review for this product on Amazon
I mean it is possible to learn Mandarin.
@@Life-ob3cn And has practicality, unlike the axe.
I love how these "product tests" are really more like indorsements for silky saws and granfors axes, they work really well and aren't gimmicks.
His prepacked survival "sardine can" kit video was good. I plan to buy a couple of them. They may not have everything you may need, but their size means you will probably have it with you.. the best survival kit in the world is useless if you don't have it.
And if you do canoeing, the sardine tin fits nicely in your pocket if you run into trouble & lose the rest of your gear.
What do you call a boomerang that doesn't come back? A wallet survival axe.
Haha that was good one
Be careful you never know what you might throw and come back and hit you from the left :P
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🇦🇺🇦🇺🪃🪃
or a dad
Ah yes, another classic "edc surival tool that needs 3 other tools to be useful". At least if you run into one of those 4 hex nut sizes in the woods you'll be set 😂
I think it's more of a society crash/apocalypse kind off thing, to access some room or something. or maybe in case you need a tool but you don't have anything at that moment
still, it really doesn't make sense as it would make more sense to have an adjustable wrench
If you sharpened the saw up a little it might be better but yeah not very practical in the state you get it
Another city toy for city Rambo wannabe.
Police:- Why do you carry wrist restraints?
You:- It's for my secret wallet survival axe!
Police:- Please try my stainless wrist jewellery and take a seat in the back of the cruiser!!! Ha! Ha! Ha!
@@midgetman4206 Wilderness emergency survival and apocalypse are two major different things. You don't plan to get lost on a nice walk, it happens and you want something to help you survive for a few days till you can find help or a road out. In an apocalypses I would just go to my toolbox or raid a hardware store
@@dudeofdargon hey man, I'm just spit balling ideas. Maybe your just going on a road trip and don't plan on camping but you get stuck so some fire to make a hot dog or something perhaps fashion up a lever. Or you don't want to seem to weird just carrying around a hatchet everywhere, maybe less scary too
But mainly it just looks fun, it doesn't look like it takes to long to make
As crazy as it sounds your videos got me through the hardest year of my life. I lost my dad and my ex fiancé was paralyzed in a car wreck in the same year...when I wouldn’t get out of bed due to depression I’d watch your videos for hours
Damn bro, sorry you had to go thru that. I hope you’re doing better ❤️
"Did you just use an axe, to make an axe?" "You got a better way."
well you could bash them off with a rock, stick, or break them off with your hands. the slot thing could maybe be done using the axe head thing and some batoning (did i even spell that right?)
Don’t worry, I got the reference. 😂
I love that show
I dont get the reference
@@Radiant- Got you bro, in the office, going off memory so I lost a piece which is who's the person asking the question, Dwight Schrute is making a wooden knife out of a knife, the dialog was the same as above, but swap "axe" with "knife".
Him using the $20 axe head and throwing it at the target is how the developers of minecraft got their sound when you are hitting things.
your videos are a break from the insanity of this world that is much more needed than you think Cody. you have been a huge blessing unto me
Amen
I agree 100%
Alright well don’t start crying on us
Yes sir!
facts, asmr hitting from the Forrest
The only wallet thingy I found to be useful is the card where you can brake out fishhooks and heads for arrows.
Stay safe everybody, and stay blessed.
Greetings from Germany!
same, the magnifying card works well to start fire in the desert as well.
@@Vanlifecrisis
You are right, just forgot about this one because as my eyes needed glasses I started using what is obviously on my nose. Great results with a little punkwood or chared material.
Watch David West of the David West RUclips channel, he is the master of making fire.
The victorinox swisscards wouldn't be too bad, but they're a bit bulky to keep in your wallet.
@@blarfroer8066
They are, you are right.
“It’s also possible to learn mandarin”
Man three years and I was only kinda competent in conversation and writing, sounds just like sawing with that axe
I studied it as a third language for six years, one of which was in China. In the end, even with a degree in hand, I am still only a novelty for the Chinese 😂
OTOH, I'm pretty sure that most fluent Mandarin speakers would understand you really quickly if you started threatening them with pocket tomahawks.
@@lnsflare1 this is true
If you are going to go to the trouble to have a bunch of zip ties and a wallet sized survival axe kit, why not just get a proper axe? Hehe. Great video, nice test.
Zip ties take up less space than a proper are I guess?
@@boogers946Maybe just bring a tomahawk head?
Can't fit the proper axe in your wallet and forget about it... It's an awful tool... Most people don't have sense , like wranglerstar, and have a prepared mind... Most folks if they ever ended up in a situation like this, they'd have there fancy khaki dress pants , a shirt, some loafers and the things in their pocket ... I guess that's where this comes in.. but I concur.. they wouldn't have zip ties either lol
If you're stuck in a warehouse full of zip ties, chicken nuggets, fruit punch, a small forest and a firepit, sure, that's perfect.
Just an FYI Cody, those small strands in the 550 paracord are rated for 90# each. HEY HOW ABOUT A VIDEO ON PARACORD USES!!!
Inner strands are 50 lbs. The sheath is 200. 7 strands x 50 lbs = 350, plus 200 for the sheath =550, hence the name.
Yes! Was thinking while watching this: "after this is over, I'm going to look for a video on uses for paracord".
there are no uses and it's bad for the environment
use BANKLINE, known as tarred twine, it's all natural, uv resistant, doesn't stretch like paracord and it also weighs less and takes up less room.
I love how he says 2 dozen attempts when he threw it 41 times
That was shown.
@@wobblysauce ehhh..id count them bro
Three point four one six six dozen attempts doesn't sound as good, though.
@@manictiger well it sound pretty good to me :)
@@manictiger why did you spell out those numbers
5:06 sorry for you Cody, I already clicked the like in the start of the video haha!
Me too bro! Yeet
It's bring out his inner Dora the Explorer
"It's also possible to learn Mandarin."
Golden, that
8:20 instead of him throwing the axe and picking it back up, I like to think he just has like 100 of these things and he’s just throwing them as fast as he can.
Your testing tool videos are honestly some of the best videos on RUclips.
Great commentary, great editing, great videography, great setting, great atmosphere
Just Everything, keep em coming Wranglerstar
I know it’s just a gimmick, but I do like the idea of an axe head which you can put a handle on in the field.
You could just carry an actual axe head and use your pocket knife to whittle a handle for it.
Better to carry a regular tomahawk head instead of any of these “survival” axes all these survival axes are worse than those little paper thin camp hatchets that are like 7” long
@@HyperboreanJihad this.. actually make some sense. Could have it in some sort of small pack or those supper small kits (like the altoids tin ones) and it still doesn't take up to much space.
though I see this appealing to a more normal person, it is very small and is better than nothing (just have some paracord or fishing line or something to tie it much better than zip-ties).
@@HyperboreanJihad Absolutely. I bring one hiking/camping all the time. I bring the handle out of convenience, but could easily cut some hardwood for it. And you can take the head off for a rather effective "knife" for smaller work.
Cold steel frontier hawk. (Or any of their hawks)
Get one. You’ll like it. I’ll likely get a couple more soon.
"are you guys as optimistic as I am" with that look at the camera... gold.
Freeze frame 4:20. Love the expression
Hey Cody I would love to see you do a video on some bush crafting in the woods with jack👍👍
Edit: I winced every time he threw his gran fors axe (I’m not sure how to spell it) I also almost screamed when he cut the stainless steel wire but I will say this it’s his tool and he can do what he wishes
Same with all of the Amazon items
Sounds like a good idea to me too
Having one of those outdoors axes I just felt the pang in my heart like "oh my baby😂"
Great entertainment, Cody, as always. In fairness, though, as a lifetime camper who's occasionally "Left Home Without it," I gotta say that gimmick would've come in handy a few times. Beats the pucky out of a river rock, as you suggested. Like the old saw: "What's the best carry gun; the one you have on you!" Few would seriously expect a wallet survival tool to compare, favorably, to a woodland hatchet.
Better to just bring two axes if you're afraid of leaving home without your axe.
I do love these videos. I don’t have any specific recommendations, but I cannot wait for more to come. Thank you, Cody. And may you and your family be blessed.
I lost it with "...and you can learn Mandarin." Missed the next 2 minute, laughing, choking and crying. Best one line destruction of a product I have ever heard.
If you're stranded in a true survival situation I'd rather have this than nothing.
@@Rampag1ngS0da maybe so, because this is as close to nothing as you can get. If truly lost your thoughts are about getting out and/or getting found. Whistle is more use.
I think it is most useful in giving you something to do while the rescue parties search for you.
Nothing better than checking youtube for 5 minutes and seeing a brand spanking new wranglerstar video
Man that's a big tree "looking at a gigantic Douglas fur" alright time to cut her down "pulls out that little thing" well I'm gonna be here all day.
I liked the Celtic music in the earlier time lapses. I liked when you showed the wildflower also. My mother was a Forester for several years in my preteens. I learned quite alot about my regions plants and trees, most of which, i still remember today.
I used to watch your videos a long time back and I must say the quality of your videos has improved immensely, this is almost therapeutic watching you do your thing. I like it!
You must have been the best scoutmaster ever. Love the videos! One day I hope to see some survival videos but I really like the reviews.
Love the subtle jokes.... haven’t laughed that hard in awhile
6:51 that's a very valuable safety lesson. Even if you are a super-expert, when a sharp knife is falling you always pull your hands back.
Glad to see you didn't get hurt with this one. Thanks for the best entertainment of the day!
Yes give the first aid kit a rest!
And he cut it down the middle 🤣
I have never done any kind of bushcraft or forestry in any capacity. The times I went "camping", I bought my firewood from a guy that drove around the site on an ATV.
That being said, I can't get enough of your content! It's refreshing to see someone just upload content that they genuinely enjoy and not hold anything back because they're not beholden to anyone but themselves. Keep doing you, Mr. W! I'll recommend your channel to everyone I know because passion is universal. I believe that your channel will continue to grow as long as you stay true to your 'roots'.
Much love.
EDIT: I love that you kept in all your 'missed' throws! Nobody gets it perfect the first time and too many people on RUclips (and in life) curate only the best moments of their life and experience. Great to see you show us your human and not a genetically tailor axe throwing superhuman, hahaa.
Last of the Mohicans music. As an East Coast (central NY) guy I appreciate hearing this.
The Last of the Mohican’s theme...cracked me up!!!
I'm digging that acoustic arrangement of the Gael as backround music.
Its from Last of the Mohicans
@@Victor-vn7kv it's in LotM, I'd imagine it wasn't actually written for that movie.
@@pjcassidy1 Like the original commentor said its called The Gael.
8:20 I love how it looks like you're just pulling out infinite axes and chucking them lmfaoooooo
I'm watching this instead of the joint session of Congress. Thank you Cody for an alternative that doesn't make me want to kill myself.
Oh yeah, glad I got distracted from Obama's teleprompter too.
How come they're spaced apart with vaccines and could cluster together to impeach Trump?
I don't know about for your main survival tool but that would be an excellent secondary little tool and a great little defensive weapon against anything trying to make you prey!
Literally the best series
That music . . . I haven't thought about "The Last of the Mohicans" in decades.
I was just looking for the music thanks for commenting 😂
For 30 full seconds, I’m like... this isn’t really a song, but I’m sure I know it...
2:45 Ohhh!
I had a friend that was an artist and he loved to paint very abstract paintings,,, No one would buy them... He wondered why? so he asked me what I thought? I told him that its important to do things in life you love to do, yet one needs to eat and that costs money,, so maybe he should paint what people would be willing to buy..... So he started painting artwork that appealed to the mass.... he was successful in this financially as people enjoyed his art in that fashion. I see that your numbers of viewers increase when you have videos that interest the Mass... I can see you have figured that out tho...
It says this video was posted 31 minutes ago and it already has 23 dislikes how can anyone dislike this man and his content
Well he said that Germany is the master race once. Maybe they're still mad abt that
The people that down vote don't even like themselves.
lockdowns and lot of bored angry ppl around internet, it's nothing to do content or creator.. just ways to "supposed to look cool".
The saw edge is use to make a handle and to cut a slot to fix the blade. Cut the slot half way tru and tie with snare wire from your sos box.
I don't think the wallet axe stuck in the tree or the target was one thing that is oftentimes not thought of is that in order for a axe to stick into a item it also needs to be well balanced to work properly @Wranglerstar
I got one of these as a gift from a well meaning friend. filed set into the saw and hardened the cutting edge. Also put an edge on the broad head. It’s still not a go to tool but for something to always have in your wallet it’s not bad for 20 bucks.
I like the product reviews, but I like them when they have potential to be good, or bad not obvious failures from the get-go.
Finally received my gransfors forestry axe . All I have to say is definitely buy it . Used it to clear a fence line of small 1/2 trees and I could cut them down in one swing and it’s still sharp
Hey, you even had to cut them slack on the tree felling that "standing dead" fir. I was waiting for the "Hey did I mention I have two altern... atives".
Where I’m at is lower down in the mountains cause our trilliums bloomed about a week ago, we also only get yellow here! Anyways love your stuff, and if you’re in a location for it wild ramps are just in season.
That face at 4:59 when you wonder why you’re doing this.
didn't notice, thx
I don't think such a tool exists that can replace the axe/knife/saw combination, but I sure do enjoy watching these type of videos. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Cody, if you do too many more of these survival tool videos, you won't have any fingers left.
Cody, there is 1 small tool I take into the wild eveytime that is an absolute life saver and that is a Leatherman tool with a saw. I have used this extensively and while it doesnt fit in your wallet it is very small and has multiple life saving tools in 1 package. Of course I also have my GB small forest axe with me as well and that combination makes survival much more manageable. Love the video brother! God bless you and your family! Keep up the great work!
Greetings from Germany
The throwing montage had my laughing so hard I almost choked hahaha
the compilation of him throwing the axe made me laugh so hard for some reason
7:31 Damn it, I thought he was going to cut it down. 😂😂😂
Let’s see a series where you come up with and trial a “professional homeowner” version made by Wranglerstar!
only pocket multi tool i use, is a stanly wallet card multi tool. bottle opener ive used a few times, flat head screw driver is perfect for paint tins not as a screwdriver, and the knife and saw come in handy for opening packages when i can be bothered getting a knife lol
if i may ask, could you start doing the mens bible study i loved those
Love how you so much confidence in the ineffectiveness of the survival axe that you leave $200+ Granfors stuck in the tree 4 inches from your target.
2:02 "its also possible to learn mandarin" i'm dying
Discovered your channel recently and have watched a lot of your newer and older videos and the one thing i like the most about your product reviews is that no matter how big or little an issue is you will always voice them to us about the product. Love the genuine honesty you give us about how you feel when using them be it bad or good, keep being you. 👍
That cut at 5:17 actually had me dead 😂😂
Didn't see this comment as a pun until I reread it
Good fun, Cody!
And thanks for posting the temperature.
Good laughs here! Nothing can replace a knife saw and ax!
Hey, thanks for this video. I thought this one was perhaps a little more useful than the klax as the zip ties seemed more secure than the twist lock mechanism on the klax. But, apparently not by much. And, I didn't even think about the lack of weight in it being a pretty big usability issue for a hatchet. Even one of the heavier "micro axes" seen like a much better packable option than any of these novelties. Thanks again.
That throw at 8:34 sent the axe flying off into oblivion
I'm thinking a pet bushcraft beaver. It would cut would faster, good source of heat, can be thrown to distract/scare/feed as needed, can be converted into an emergency meal and a nice cap. Downside is, it will not fit in your wallet.
The rapid axe throwing montage made me laugh lol
The triangle edge is used as spearhead for hunting
These survival tool videos are actually quite entertaining
I use one of those scraper multitool cards simply to keep my wallet ridged.
One day I was riding my bicycle and I actually used it to tighten a small nut on my bike. I had to get a small rock and sort of pound it right but it worked.
iunno where this channel came from and know absolutely jack about survival, but the absolute sarcastic delivery at 4:01 of "Are you guys as optimistic as I am?" and just glancing back down killed me. subbed.
E: due to said lack of experience in outdoor work in general, i think as for the ending it'd be super interesting to do those kinda niche but always interesting videos of trying to get "the most" you can out of those crappy and cheap survival kits on amazon that i've seen floating around!
Liked the nod to last of the Mohecans and the cover to promontory.
This man is the first person who ever told me they wouldn't continue until I liked the video lmao. It worked, I wasn't about to risk not finding out how this goes.
Loving your handling of wood. Very cathartic. Love your manner and friendly tone too.
Also, props for the spyderco knife.
Cody at 5:05 min - I'm not going anywhere without you clicking thumbs up...
Me - I did that 5:06 min ago already.
Wranglerstar is a default thumbs up channel. And so far, I have not been disappointed. Not even once.
Keep up the good work.
Edit: Typo in the name...
The best portable survival axe is a simple tomahawk head. Cold steel makes quite a few different designs though IMO the Trail Hawk is the best.
Hi Cody! My grandfather and I have been a huge fan of yours for years. Entering my 20s I started bushcrafting a bit more, and realized just how useful a good multitool is.
Is there any chance you use one? If so, which one?
Sure it cuts a 3" tree. On the other hand, even the small Victorinox wood saws you get on walker, camper models etc. will do that too. Faster, with less effort and without additional tools like a handle or fastening. Some things are easier with chopping tools. Best to have them all. ^^ If I had to choose one, I'd much rather go with the pocket knife though. Still an interesting option, thanks for showing it! :-)
Consider, if that was your only tool in a survival situation, (i.e. no knife or saw), you could use the axe blade to split the end of the stick just deep enough to contain the head. Then use your paracord, because we all carry that stuff, to bind it tightly to the stick.
For a $20, never-left-behind-'cause-you-forgot-you-have-it-in-your-wallet-backup, I think it did pretty well. For one thing, I don't tend to carry cable ties ... but I do tend to carry wire. Lashing the axe and spearpoint to the handle with wire, especially if you sniped it snug, would have been at least as strong, and would have added weight to the working end. Likely would have made it a bit more effective. I have to agree with you about the "saw" they usually include on these sort of things, though ... of course, with a bit of time, a good vise and a decent set of files, that usually isn't that hard to fix.
Keep up the survival videos! Great job 👍🏼
I know Survco advertises that you use zip ties, but I look at other reviews, and they use 550 paracord. I tried this out myself and the axe head had a MUCH better grip on the handle. I’d say this would be in my edc, alongside my knife, glock, lettermen and fishing hook punch out cards just because the fact that you can cut down a 4 inch tree and it fits in your wallet. I’d also put about a 2 feet of cordage and maybe a couple of zip ties.
I know this video is old but I not only love the product review but I also love the “Last of the Mohicans” soundtrack being played while you make it😂
You should test a classic half hatchet, if you don't already have one laying around the Vaughan & Bushnell is only $20 new.
Radius the straight edge before sharpening, and you've got one helluva utilitarian hatchet.
The nice thin bit profile like you favor from GB, an actual hardened hammer poll, and that nail notch that's good for all kinds of things.
I built one once using a shoelace string and a stick (with the point) and I doubt it could cut down a tree but it still held up pretty well
Nice cutting edge to put in the altoid box
I understand the point and intention of tools like this. Still, anyone intending to use an axe in the backwoods would be well served by taking a 36" Fiskars X27 with them, it's a reasonably light axe with the option for shorter handled versions with the same head. You can save a TON of energy by falling a tree or processing a downed tree with a 'light' & full sized axe compared to a micro axe/ tool. One real advantage is that it's readily available for in store pickup across the US.
At minimum a Fiskars X7 Hatchet should be packed since it is very handy, even with it's limited uses due to it's light head and short handle.
Plastic fantastic stuff, sure, and it's not unbreakable but I seriously doubt it would be an issue. I've been using a few different ones to clear overgrowth and for removing stumps, with the worst wear being a slightly chipped cutting edge (expected, due to hitting unseen rocks with some force)
Great little axe and saw. All you with it is a axe and saw and your set.
From what little skill I possess in woodcraft, I would say the only "all-in-one" survival tool is proper knowledge; knowing what to bring for the specific situation, and arriving fully prepared.
That little outdoors axe by Gransfors is the best “ Survival “ axe !! I carry that and a 12” Wyoming saw in my hunting pack all the time or in my hiking pack at all times ! This carried with a proper full tanged belt knife you will have all that you need to survive in regards to warmth , shelter that you can build. I have never understood the knife” axe” ?! Knife , axe and saw !
5:16 the transition is so funny
Love the use of "The Gael" music in this video. Makes me reminisce "The Last of the Mohicans"
"It's also possible to learn Mandarin."
LOL, love it. 🤓🍻
