Dang cody, how about a East Coast trigger warning, I had to clean my coffee off the monitor once I stopped laughing. That was great, but seriously us East Coast men wouldn't have any trouble swinging our hand that close to the wood, just hold my beer and watch this.
Sequoia gigantea in Maine? What you call trees we call saplings. We also have mountains. Big ones to dwarf your molehills.Paul Bunyan was from Oregon you know. And when was there ever a Mountain Man Rendezvous in Maine, of all places? You Mainers couldn't even handle the altitude, much less the terrain, flora and fauna. Friends of mine from Maine lasted three years out here, wimped out, and limped back to Maine. Couldn't hack it.

I regret not getting my dad into games. I think he would have loved to watch me play something like Red Dead. He was a huge western fan, was actually a ranch hand and did cattle runs in his teens. He taught me a lot. Running chainsaws, forest health, fire mitigation. He gave me the skills to go into a profession where I feel good about what i do. My biggest regret was a lack of shared interests that stemmed from my hobbies. He always supported them though. Hell I had to pick up sticks for video games if it wasn't my birthday or Christmas. But he would always be ready to go with me to pick out my payment. Cody's doing an amazing thing here. I hope they have fun.
The meaning of life is our relationship with God. These four steps are the key to getting a Divine Revelation directly from him. They are something you'd eventually do if you took God seriously enough to read the Bible, while implementing its teachings. They are, forgive your parents, break down before Jesus, ask for forgiveness, and read three books of the Bible. Step four requires the first book of each testament, and one you chose yourself. The order is actually important. The steps build on each other. Each one primes your soul for the next. To be forgiven we must forgive. Mathew 6: 14-15. That's why forgiving others has to come before asking for forgiveness. Jesus will not forgive you until you've at least done the bare minimum, our parents. They're supposed to be easiest to forgive, because they've fed, housed, loved us to some degree. Our problems with them are supposed to represent our problems with God. This is why the bare minimum to receive the revelation is our parents. You'll still have to forgive everyone though, but that comes much easier after meeting God. I'm extremely serious and very literal. I'm not talking about signs, nor feelings, nor prayer. It's an actual literal pulled out of your body direct one on one conversation, nothing you can miss. nor misinterpretae. The vast majority of christans never bother to do what God wants seriously, so most never get this revelation. To most outside church their Bible is a paper weight, or at best a virtue signal. Their religion is in what other people think about them, not their relationship with God. Please do those steps I mentioned, there really is a Divine Revelation waiting for all of us. There's extraordinarlly important information we all desperately need in this revelation, but those who get it are forbidden to share it. The Truth that Jesus Christ is Lord is written on every human heart. We all have that knowledge inside us, but we bury it under mountains of pain and anger. Those steps clear away that garbage inside you, letting God heal you, so that his words boom clearly inside your soul. The entire point of our existence here is to Trust God enough that we pay him this mustard seed of Faith, so his Grace can remove the stain sin has left on our souls. Everyone that does not get this Grace is not forgiven of any of their sins, even if they turned around and we're the best person from 25 to death. Without Grace those first sins are still counted against you, tying you to the devil's punishment. It's not about being a good person, It's about being forgiven for when you weren't. The Bible is Truth. Please do those steps and see for yourself. Please take your salvation seriously

This man made me shed a tear, he’s a fantastic dad! Taking up his own sons interests to build that bond! You’re a fantastic man Wranglerstar! Makes me happy to see such a wholesome family
Not only would that make the already comparatively heavy headed axe even heavier, you couldn't replace the guard if it breaks over years of wear. That plexiglass can be screwed on and off so that it can be serviced and replaced.
Seriously, "plenty of time to offend everyone." Thanks for making me laugh after a hard night at work. Your content is amazing. So tuning into Twitch to watch you guys stream.
As a younger man who was raised by two extremely hardworking parents (as well as other family members) i think that you getting involved in your sons interest, no matter what they are, is a fantastic thing and he's extremely lucky to have such a fantastic parent(s) to do something that most of us never get the chamce to have. You're a fantastic parent and hopefully that will continue in the family!
“I can see why this isn’t for east coast guys, this requires a lot of hand strength.” Proceeds to explain how he normally “doesn’t split dense limbs” lmao keep up the good videos
My great grandpa was from Austria and he left right before WW2 and fought in a submarine for USA. I always thought he left because of war but he did have a sense of humor so he definitely left to meet people with a sense of humor
seen an east coast man use one of these once and he blasted it thru the piece of firewood and put a small crater in the shop floor , that is why they banned us east coasters from using this tool 😊
I realize this is an older video, but man I'm really glad to hear a dad that doesn't play video games taking an interest in his son's hobby. Playing video games growing up has brought me some life long friends that I never would have met otherwise.
That's really cool of you to do something completely out of your comfort zone just to spend time with your children. Things like that are what defines a good parent.
I was watching your channel for a while now. And at end of that particular video i realized, that i realy need to express how i like and share many of your views and opinions. I also think, that tools and items we use in day do day lives should be built to last, if you do something - put thought to it and do it as best you can and also if something needs to be done, do it, even if you have to learn new skills or go out of comfort zone or whatever effort it takes. The thing in this video is not what you said about parenting, but you showed and i think its great, you got out comfort zone and putting in effort to be close with your son and share his life with him. Wonderful! Wish you all the best from Poland :)
The east coast version does not include the California implemented safety shield for the hand. Many east coast guys just karate chop the wood to split it. No axe needed at all.
"What did we learn here? Boy that fire's getting hot" How can you have reached your age having only just learned that fire gets hot, haha! Only joking! Great vid bud, that thing is gnarly!
You're a good man Wranglerstar and I look up to you as a role model. I'm a 36 year old carpenter with a new family and I just want you to know that you set a good example for me. I appreciate all you do. Thanks! Long time subscriber btw. Very proud of your accomplishments especially becoming sober. Good for you and God bless you and your family
What you got there is an old style English Bodger's axe for making chairs, wooden rake etc, it's an old countryside tool for working green wood. Hope that's some help
Love to know how much pm2.5 is in that shop from the fire i had a yurt once and got rid of it once we realised how bad for your health burning wood is and replaced with gas
What's supposed to be the point of the Triffix? Why the stubby handle? It goes against everything that makes hatchets, axes and hammers work - the greater the length of the shaft handle, the easier the work should be - within reason of course.
But if you ask "does it have a market?" the answer is "Yes". People who has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on a cabin up in the alps (or wherever it is) and has plenty of money to spare from their job in the city, but is a complete noob when it comes to making kindling. They buy their firewood, that's not really a problem to them. But how do you succeed in making a cozy fire in your cabin if you can't cut kindling? It's a small market but if you're in the market of hand forged axes that may be the niche you need.
I believe it is made for when you are sitting directly in front of your woodstove, and need to turn some split logs into Quick kindling on the spot or on the Fly... the concept of a tiny handle for indoor use is not a bad one... But the price is a bit extreme. That being said, it was definitely beautifully-crafted and I could not make it any cheaper if I was making my typical hourly wage
@@anhatur & @lost paper I understand what both of you are saying, and I'm sure that it will sell to a particular market given that it's an interesting design and apparently well made. However, it has always been my understanding that the handle/shaft acts as a force multiplier, and that the axe/hatchet head will be most efficient within a certain range of lengths - too long or too short and it becomes inefficient. If more control is required it's always possible to 'choke up' on the shaft, shortening the overall length, but with this thing you're very much restricted to use it in a specific way, which seems somewhat pointless. Perhaps I'm being too closed-minded and it's not aimed at me - I'm not spending $160 on a hatchet/splitter, though I might if I was for more financially solvent. Anyway, thank you both for your interesting perspectives on the Triffix. Take care ✌️
@@ianmacfarlane1241 leverage is only half of it, weight is the other half. a 20ft long pole with a steak knife on the end of it won't split kindling either. i get what you're saying here and working men are often utilitarian in the way they approach things, tools doubly so...but as someone else said, if you got all of the money in the world it wouldn't be a bad idea to have something like this next to the fireplace since it is small and takes up little room....i'm with you though, i'd rather just have a proper splitting hatchet....and i do....a 4lb head i put on a short pine handle i cut out...only cost me $5 for the yard sale head and my time for the handle...which is time i enjoy spending.
Short handled axe looks perfect of Otis. Lex Luthor : " Would you like to see a long - long arm Otis !? " ( Superman I movie - programming ICBM scene )
What an awesome DAD you are!! Im 36 years old. I don't play video games and haven't for YEARS but I think it is really really awesome for you to be spending that time with your boy!!
I've found the safest method is 5 pound maul and 5 pound wedge. Up here at 50 degrees north in Newfoundland, it's nice to split 12 inch rounds indoor while sitting down.
You're right, that little gadget is definitely not for us EC guys; I'll take my Estwing hatchet any day! XD First time you nail a log the wrong way, you've got a hand impaled with plexiglass shards. Hard pass.
Yea, he says Plexiglass (brandname for acrylic), but it's probably made from Polycarbonate (Lexan is a common brandname). Plexiglas is more scratch-resistant, but shatters. Lexan scratches easily, but is very tough.
@@foogoid8682 ah, thanks for the clarification, man - polycarbonate would make way more sense. Personally, I don't trust any transparent material as a surface designed to take repeated strikes unless it's something that's clear by necessity. XD Rather that guard was made of steel or aluminum.
You know hearing your outro is refreshing I like the fact that you’re genuine, so many youtubers have a extremely fake personality in their videos (overly dramatic) you end your video with a very deep personal message God bless you and yours
The passion you have for outdoors stuff and axes and what not is how I am with gaming. It makes me happy to hear you attempting to take an interest in gaming with your kid and your perspective on. This vid hasn't been too long ago, hope that's been going well
Coming from Austria, I can assure you, that every single sentence is meant sarcastically. You confuse us with our slightly derided neighbors, the Germans there. Furthermore ''Triffix'' can be translated to ''hit for sure''. Greetings from the Land that has born the Governator.
Eric WW2 (as well as ww1 btw) didn't really happen just because two nations ''wanted'' to unify (ofc there were a lot of people that wanted them, but there were a lot that weren't attracted to AH and his political ''ideas'', at least in Austria) though, did it, that is a pretty bold claim. But that is not my point, I just wanted to make sure, that we don't want to be confused with our neighbors, geographically and mentally, and wrote that in a sarcastic and satiric manner ;) anyway, wish you the best of luck with brexit and I hope we can still come visit you englishers ;)
My dad did the same thing with me even though he had NO idea what we were playing ( or how to hold an N64 controller ), he made it a point to just play, and now being 30, my relationship with my dad is unbreakable. Its awesome that youre doing this for jack, hell never forget it, as i didnt.
Glad to hear that you respect Jack's interests. I'd wondered about that, since in some ways you remind me of the elders in my own family who have adamantly been opposed to or disappointed in my interests my whole life because they are not the same as their own. You're a good dad.
The design is pretty much around the ability to "pull" down on the wood, especially after digging into a long, and just hammering it on the ground or where your splitting to send the axe head through. The usual right angled handle doesn't quite let you do that. Relying more on your wrists ability to stay, and not bend.
You’re such a great dad, I know I see a ton of stereotypical parents be like “I don’t do this, so neither do you” but kids do stuff we don’t do all the time. I rather keep it reasonable then take it away or hide it. My dad got me a ps1 when I was a kid and we played together all the time, he got me into video games and I still love them and he still understands why. Maybe I’ll get him into it again, last year year he would never touched youtube with a ten foot pole but now he watching it over cable tv.
@@edi9892 Even the best humor has a breaking point. Like if people from the Balkan are acting out of line, or if your paintings don't get the art worlds approval you think they should. That's when Austrians can get a little grumpy.
Ah yes, it's a struggle for survival in Australia. If the spiders don't get you, the snakes will with backup from white pointers and crocs. Even those cute little blue-ring octopuses don't have your best interests at heart. Try getting a seat in front of the box now, no chance, koalas have the remote, the drinks and going on about fires. Happy New Year.
It doesn’t entirely surprise me, being the sort of guy you are, but I can really appreciate you trying to get involved into Jack’s gaming, and I’m sure he appreciates it a lot more. Like a lot of things, in moderation video gaming is a great hobby. A lot of effort is put into developing games (most of the time, anyway) and a lot of skill is needed to properly play them. Also that axe is pretty nifty, but I sure as heck couldn’t justify spending what would probably be way over $200 in Aussie currency...
I have scrap metal for the handle, a used axe head, some plastic pipe, and some decent wood for the scales so could easily make one in a couple hours with a $0 cost for materials.
Hey mate. I hope you see this comment I don’t have a you tube channel I just watch it. But I’m in the logging game and I work on the bush fires putting fire breaks in on graders and dozers When the fire season is on. The timber’s a lot harder to cut in Australia and the Australian bush is dangerous but the worst things that could hurt you bad or kill you. and that could be a lack of water, a snake or a spider bite or the obvious one a tree can fall on you. I thought I’d tell you a bit about the Australian bush. And I’f you lived over here you wouldn’t think much of the deadly animals over here it seems normal to me. I thought you’d like to know about the Australian bush and thanks for your videos they are great and if you see this comment which I hope you do can you read it out or at least say on one of your videos that you got my comment. My names Jimbo Grigor I’m only 13 but I think I’ve got about as much experience as a 20 year old and Thanks again for your videos they are really good to watch.
"We don't have fast enough internet to twitch" hahah jokes aside. That is awesome. I have a 1 1/2 year old son and have been binging your videos and memory banking the things you do as a dad. Keep up the great work!
I can make that from stuff i have in the garage. I even have acrylic cut offs. Im thinking 2 hours on the Grinder. 2 hours making the handle and 3-5 hours hand sanding and shaping acrylic. If i do 20$ a hour and not factor any cost. Min it costs me 140$ to make. Also be careful my uncle started playing games because his son loved them now he plays even when the kids at his moms.
I´m propably wayyy to late for anyone to read this, but here goes: "Trifffix" is a play on words meaning something along the lines of "Hitting quickly" and "Hitting in a stable way"
you're a polarizing guy but I gotta say: big props for getting involved with your boys gaming hobby. I can see a lot of guys similar to you shunning the activity or even outright banning it but you're trying to get into it with him and thats really cool :)
I don’t know if you will see this but I’m so happy to hear that you and Jack are streaming video games. What a great experience and I’m glad you let him set it up! Games were a great way for my son and i to bond over the years, even when i had no idea what was happening! Kudos sir

It's made from the same kind of materials as a regular axe so I doubt that some exposure to the elements would damage it.
I think this axe could probably be useful to go camping with, since it's so small.
@@blzk12 It's pretty heavy though, to compensate for having no leverage at swing. I'd prefer a short hatchet IMO

This is why the bare minimum to receive the revelation is our parents. You'll still have to forgive everyone though, but that comes much easier after meeting God. I'm extremely serious and very literal. I'm not talking about signs, nor feelings, nor prayer. It's an actual literal pulled out of your body direct one on one conversation, nothing you can miss. nor misinterpretae. The vast majority of christans never bother to do what God wants seriously, so most never get this revelation. To most outside church their Bible is a paper weight, or at best a virtue signal. Their religion is in what other people think about them, not their relationship with God. Please do those steps I mentioned, there really is a Divine Revelation waiting for all of us. There's extraordinarlly important information we all desperately need in this revelation, but those who get it are forbidden to share it. The Truth that Jesus Christ is Lord is written on every human heart. We all have that knowledge inside us, but we bury it under mountains of pain and anger. Those steps clear away that garbage inside you, letting God heal you, so that his words boom clearly inside your soul. The entire point of our existence here is to Trust God enough that we pay him this mustard seed of Faith, so his Grace can remove the stain sin has left on our souls. Everyone that does not get this Grace is not forgiven of any of their sins, even if they turned around and we're the best person from 25 to death. Without Grace those first sins are still counted against you, tying you to the devil's punishment. It's not about being a good person, It's about being forgiven for when you weren't. The Bible is Truth. Please do those steps and see for yourself. Please take your salvation seriously

This man made me shed a tear, he’s a fantastic dad! Taking up his own sons interests to build that bond! You’re a fantastic man Wranglerstar! Makes me happy to see such a wholesome family
It would look less like a gimmick if that hand guard was also metal.
Your arm would give up before getting all the firewood split
I though the same thing !
Not only would that make the already comparatively heavy headed axe even heavier, you couldn't replace the guard if it breaks over years of wear. That plexiglass can be screwed on and off so that it can be serviced and replaced.
That handguard is wood for a reason, you don't need more metal on it.
Seriously, "plenty of time to offend everyone." Thanks for making me laugh after a hard night at work. Your content is amazing.
So tuning into Twitch to watch you guys stream.
Didn't know you needed to cut trees in the west coast. I thought wild fires got them all or something. Lol jk
As a younger man who was raised by two extremely hardworking parents (as well as other family members) i think that you getting involved in your sons interest, no matter what they are, is a fantastic thing and he's extremely lucky to have such a fantastic parent(s) to do something that most of us never get the chamce to have. You're a fantastic parent and hopefully that will continue in the family!
“I can see why this isn’t for east coast guys, this requires a lot of hand strength.” Proceeds to explain how he normally “doesn’t split dense limbs” lmao keep up the good videos
Jabs East Coast guys as not real men. Then explains how heavy three pounds feel 🤣😂🤣😂. Keep up the good work, it’s all good.
Dense wood burns slow so it's usually best not to cut it if you want to keep a fire going.

Being 17 I really appreciate you investing time in something your child likes. I would have been over the moon if my folks were this considerate.
My great grandpa was from Austria and he left right before WW2 and fought in a submarine for USA. I always thought he left because of war but he did have a sense of humor so he definitely left to meet people with a sense of humor
I’m a parent and I find that so many parents forget what it’s like to be a kid so good for you for taking interest in your sons passions !! 👍🏻
Wow, kudos for getting involved with Jack's interests. That's a true sign of caring for someone.

seen an east coast man use one of these once and he blasted it thru the piece of firewood and put a small crater in the shop floor , that is why they banned us east coasters from using this tool 😊
I realize this is an older video, but man I'm really glad to hear a dad that doesn't play video games taking an interest in his son's hobby. Playing video games growing up has brought me some life long friends that I never would have met otherwise.
That's really cool of you to do something completely out of your comfort zone just to spend time with your children. Things like that are what defines a good parent.
I was watching your channel for a while now. And at end of that particular video i realized, that i realy need to express how i like and share many of your views and opinions. I also think, that tools and items we use in day do day lives should be built to last, if you do something - put thought to it and do it as best you can and also if something needs to be done, do it, even if you have to learn new skills or go out of comfort zone or whatever effort it takes. The thing in this video is not what you said about parenting, but you showed and i think its great, you got out comfort zone and putting in effort to be close with your son and share his life with him. Wonderful! Wish you all the best from Poland :)
“That’s not a axe” ....
Greetings from Australia, our pet crocodile also says hi!

"THIS is an axe!"
You dont need any axes cause the whole place is burning away.
@@greenlawnfarm5827 too soon.
The east coast version does not include the California implemented safety shield for the hand. Many east coast guys just karate chop the wood to split it. No axe needed at all.
"What did we learn here? Boy that fire's getting hot"
How can you have reached your age having only just learned that fire gets hot, haha! Only joking! Great vid bud, that thing is gnarly!
You're a good man Wranglerstar and I look up to you as a role model. I'm a 36 year old carpenter with a new family and I just want you to know that you set a good example for me. I appreciate all you do. Thanks! Long time subscriber btw. Very proud of your accomplishments especially becoming sober. Good for you and God bless you and your family
Only a guy from the west coast would buy that.. 😂
LOL
Hey man, give the West Coasties a break.. a full size axe wont fit in their purse
Well, the short handle probably makes easier to use when they shave their legs.
This is from europe . And Europeans are much more manly and tougher than the americans . You americans always eating burgers and watching football 😭
@@kap1526 you realize our military could take over your entire country in under a day right lol
What you got there is an old style English Bodger's axe for making chairs, wooden rake etc, it's an old countryside tool for working green wood. Hope that's some help
that barrel stove is getting rough, might want to upgrade soon XD
How does that stove work if you don't mind?

What's supposed to be the point of the Triffix?
Why the stubby handle?
It goes against everything that makes hatchets, axes and hammers work - the greater the length of the shaft handle, the easier the work should be - within reason of course.
But if you ask "does it have a market?" the answer is "Yes".
People who has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on a cabin up in the alps (or wherever it is) and has plenty of money to spare from their job in the city, but is a complete noob when it comes to making kindling.
They buy their firewood, that's not really a problem to them. But how do you succeed in making a cozy fire in your cabin if you can't cut kindling?
It's a small market but if you're in the market of hand forged axes that may be the niche you need.
I believe it is made for when you are sitting directly in front of your woodstove, and need to turn some split logs into Quick kindling on the spot or on the Fly... the concept of a tiny handle for indoor use is not a bad one... But the price is a bit extreme. That being said, it was definitely beautifully-crafted and I could not make it any cheaper if I was making my typical hourly wage
@@anhatur & @lost paper
I understand what both of you are saying, and I'm sure that it will sell to a particular market given that it's an interesting design and apparently well made.
However, it has always been my understanding that the handle/shaft acts as a force multiplier, and that the axe/hatchet head will be most efficient within a certain range of lengths - too long or too short and it becomes inefficient.
If more control is required it's always possible to 'choke up' on the shaft, shortening the overall length, but with this thing you're very much restricted to use it in a specific way, which seems somewhat pointless.
Perhaps I'm being too closed-minded and it's not aimed at me - I'm not spending $160 on a hatchet/splitter, though I might if I was for more financially solvent.
Anyway, thank you both for your interesting perspectives on the Triffix.
Take care ✌️
@@ianmacfarlane1241 leverage is only half of it, weight is the other half. a 20ft long pole with a steak knife on the end of it won't split kindling either.
i get what you're saying here and working men are often utilitarian in the way they approach things, tools doubly so...but as someone else said, if you got all of the money in the world it wouldn't be a bad idea to have something like this next to the fireplace since it is small and takes up little room....i'm with you though, i'd rather just have a proper splitting hatchet....and i do....a 4lb head i put on a short pine handle i cut out...only cost me $5 for the yard sale head and my time for the handle...which is time i enjoy spending.
When he said Austria i thought gas would come out the box
Lmao
Short handled axe looks perfect of Otis. Lex Luthor : " Would you like to see a long - long arm Otis !? " ( Superman I movie - programming ICBM scene )
What an awesome DAD you are!! Im 36 years old. I don't play video games and haven't for YEARS but I think it is really really awesome for you to be spending that time with your boy!!
We need the "Jack test" on this axe seeing as how he splits alot of the kindling as well!
I'm literally a reformed east coast guy (28 years in the west now) mister W... Your snarky comments are well received on this front and spot on.
"Austrian huh? G'day mate! Let's put another shrrimp on the barbie!" Lloyd Christmas
I've found the safest method is 5 pound maul and 5 pound wedge. Up here at 50 degrees north in Newfoundland, it's nice to split 12 inch rounds indoor while sitting down.
You're right, that little gadget is definitely not for us EC guys; I'll take my Estwing hatchet any day! XD
First time you nail a log the wrong way, you've got a hand impaled with plexiglass shards. Hard pass.
Yea, he says Plexiglass (brandname for acrylic), but it's probably made from Polycarbonate (Lexan is a common brandname). Plexiglas is more scratch-resistant, but shatters. Lexan scratches easily, but is very tough.
@@foogoid8682 ah, thanks for the clarification, man - polycarbonate would make way more sense. Personally, I don't trust any transparent material as a surface designed to take repeated strikes unless it's something that's clear by necessity. XD Rather that guard was made of steel or aluminum.
You know hearing your outro is refreshing I like the fact that you’re genuine, so many youtubers have a extremely fake personality in their videos (overly dramatic) you end your video with a very deep personal message God bless you and yours
Not for the east coast because it wouldn't deal with actual hardwoods ;) howdy from the unseasonably warm northeast
That is very true
Yee yee Alabama

Me an East coast guy: makes my own axe completely by hand
The passion you have for outdoors stuff and axes and what not is how I am with gaming. It makes me happy to hear you attempting to take an interest in gaming with your kid and your perspective on. This vid hasn't been too long ago, hope that's been going well
I am from Austria and i have never heared of this thing😂
At 4:53 I dont know why but watching you split the wood was like watching a toddler smash Play-Doh and it was really funny
Coming from Austria, I can assure you, that every single sentence is meant sarcastically. You confuse us with our slightly derided neighbors, the Germans there. Furthermore ''Triffix'' can be translated to ''hit for sure''. Greetings from the Land that has born the Governator.
Eric Pretty Ironic, that you classify that as "not your finest moment" when you are literally over the edge on brexit ;)
Eric WW2 (as well as ww1 btw) didn't really happen just because two nations ''wanted'' to unify (ofc there were a lot of people that wanted them, but there were a lot that weren't attracted to AH and his political ''ideas'', at least in Austria) though, did it, that is a pretty bold claim.
But that is not my point, I just wanted to make sure, that we don't want to be confused with our neighbors, geographically and mentally, and wrote that in a sarcastic and satiric manner ;)
anyway, wish you the best of luck with brexit and I hope we can still come visit you englishers ;)
"Triff-fix" just means "hits fast"
Good as an emergency axe, wouldn’t want to use it everyday.
My dad did the same thing with me even though he had NO idea what we were playing ( or how to hold an N64 controller ), he made it a point to just play, and now being 30, my relationship with my dad is unbreakable. Its awesome that youre doing this for jack, hell never forget it, as i didnt.
Looking forward to Farming Simulator 2020 WranglerStar style! xD
The Estwing fireside friend is a fairly effective kindling tool. It's basically a miniature splitting maul. Great video as usual though .
Not for East Coast guys because only West Coast guys need a hand-guard.
Glad to hear that you respect Jack's interests. I'd wondered about that, since in some ways you remind me of the elders in my own family who have adamantly been opposed to or disappointed in my interests my whole life because they are not the same as their own. You're a good dad.

@@thunderusnight cheers mate!
The design is pretty much around the ability to "pull" down on the wood, especially after digging into a long, and just hammering it on the ground or where your splitting to send the axe head through. The usual right angled handle doesn't quite let you do that. Relying more on your wrists ability to stay, and not bend.
$180 dollars, good LORD dat alotta money!!! ( in living colour)
Mark Chatman $100 possibly but idk $180 hell no
How much is the shipping , import duties and taxes?
You’re such a great dad, I know I see a ton of stereotypical parents be like “I don’t do this, so neither do you” but kids do stuff we don’t do all the time. I rather keep it reasonable then take it away or hide it. My dad got me a ps1 when I was a kid and we played together all the time, he got me into video games and I still love them and he still understands why. Maybe I’ll get him into it again, last year year he would never touched youtube with a ten foot pole but now he watching it over cable tv.
"I would never buy this" well erm excuse me mr Wranglerstar, but I think you already did..
that little thing would not split pure Australian hard wood
Good lord that thing looks like such a putrid waste of money.
And it even has plexiglass instead of a piece of metal as a hand guard... 😂
There is an east coast adapter kit available. Basically a pool noodle to pad the handle and the sharp bit. Works great.
You're confusing austrians with germans when talking about their humor. Germans have no humor. Austrians have nothing but humor.
Indeed, but it stops when my spell check changes Austria to Australia...
Wrong there’s hitler
@@edi9892 Even the best humor has a breaking point. Like if people from the Balkan are acting out of line, or if your paintings don't get the art worlds approval you think they should. That's when Austrians can get a little grumpy.
Ah yes, it's a struggle for survival in Australia. If the spiders don't get you, the snakes will with backup from white pointers and crocs. Even those cute little blue-ring octopuses don't have your best interests at heart. Try getting a seat in front of the box now, no chance, koalas have the remote, the drinks and going on about fires. Happy New Year.
Good on you for playing video games with Jack! I might have to stop by on twitch and say hello!
Looks like another Austrian who failed art school designed this
Your support of Jack's interests is fantastic. You are a great father and role model. Thank you sharing this.
It doesn’t entirely surprise me, being the sort of guy you are, but I can really appreciate you trying to get involved into Jack’s gaming, and I’m sure he appreciates it a lot more.
Like a lot of things, in moderation video gaming is a great hobby. A lot of effort is put into developing games (most of the time, anyway) and a lot of skill is needed to properly play them.
Also that axe is pretty nifty, but I sure as heck couldn’t justify spending what would probably be way over $200 in Aussie currency...
I have scrap metal for the handle, a used axe head, some plastic pipe, and some decent wood for the scales so could easily make one in a couple hours with a $0 cost for materials.
Central U.S.A. checking in. I really enjoy the east coast, west coast banter. Meanwhile us in the middle go unscathed.
Good on you Cody, joining in on Jack's video game hobby. Playing video games together is such and awesome bonding experience.
From an engineering stand point the angle of the blade is important, it's meant to add the ease of an overhead strike.
Hey mate. I hope you see this comment I don’t have a you tube channel I just watch it. But I’m in the logging game and I work on the bush fires putting fire breaks in on graders and dozers When the fire season is on. The timber’s a lot harder to cut in Australia and the Australian bush is dangerous but the worst things that could hurt you bad or kill you. and that could be a lack of water, a snake or a spider bite or the obvious one a tree can fall on you. I thought I’d tell you a bit about the Australian bush. And I’f you lived over here you wouldn’t think much of the deadly animals over here it seems normal to me. I thought you’d like to know about the Australian bush and thanks for your videos they are great and if you see this comment which I hope you do can you read it out or at least say on one of your videos that you got my comment. My names Jimbo Grigor I’m only 13 but I think I’ve got about as much experience as a 20 year old and Thanks again for your videos they are really good to watch.
"We don't have fast enough internet to twitch" hahah jokes aside. That is awesome. I have a 1 1/2 year old son and have been binging your videos and memory banking the things you do as a dad. Keep up the great work!
My guess is that axe is more of a conversation piece. Something to put on your desk. That's why it comes with a wood stand.
Dude, so many subtle little jabs in this video. Amazingly funny!

I can make that from stuff i have in the garage. I even have acrylic cut offs. Im thinking 2 hours on the Grinder. 2 hours making the handle and 3-5 hours hand sanding and shaping acrylic. If i do 20$ a hour and not factor any cost. Min it costs me 140$ to make. Also be careful my uncle started playing games because his son loved them now he plays even when the kids at his moms.
It's probably not meant for outdoor use because the cold might make the plexiglass brittle and shatter
I´m propably wayyy to late for anyone to read this, but here goes:
"Trifffix" is a play on words meaning something along the lines of "Hitting quickly" and "Hitting in a stable way"
Seems perfect for making sticks in the sauna. We use a small Hultafors hatchet right now, this seems like a good upgrade.

I don’t know if you will see this but I’m so happy to hear that you and Jack are streaming video games. What a great experience and I’m glad you let him set it up! Games were a great way for my son and i to bond over the years, even when i had no idea what was happening! Kudos sir
