Andrew, It was my pleasure. Enjoy it! Hope Tiffany is doing well!!
We both are doing well, thanks again!
Thank you MikeyG!!
Awesome review video. 😊
I learned so much in this one video! I never noticed the flared design of the X11 and what that was for. Excellent video! Thank you, Andrew.
Glad it was helpful!
I use Fisker scissors and rotary cutters for my Quilting. I love their products. Looks like nice additions to the property and will make your job a little easier. I found your Amazon line and we have started using it when we order and we order a lot from Amazon. Using a tire was an amazing idea. Just Wow. Never heard of that method.
Thank you so much for the support. Tiffany has the fiskars wheel cutter for her fabric cutting.
I like the tire trick...never seen that before👍
Great review
I love my small Fiskars hatchets! Been using them for years.
They seem well made
We also have a small Fiskars pitch fork and a machete with a saw back. Fiskars and Gerber are the same people and both have great products and customer service. A+
Very informative video Andrew
Thank you for watching
That tire idea is top notch! I have a few Fiskars tools and have had good luck with them.
Thank you for watching
Yeah, I've been struggling for years with a cheap hatchet. Those look perfect, and will pick them up one day. I love using twigs and small branches from deadfall for kindling when I have it. Those are like flairs. It never ceases to amaze me.
I use straw and sticks myself, but that always seems wet with as much rain as we have been getting.
So therapeutic 😌
I’ve had the small x7 hatchet for years. I love it and it’s held up very well. I keep it in the boat for duck hunting when we need to cut material and build a blind
I love the size and weight of it.
Hi Andrew, good review, Thanks 👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦
Thank you for watching
Good review Andrew. Nice of Mikey to send the hatchet! Love the tire idea!
We have some amazing viewers!
@@TKCLAgreed, a great group of folks here!
I told you when you got your bigger axe these hatches are just as awesome and I don't travel anywhere on my property without one!👍
Fiskars is addictive, now I want the whole set 🤣
I love Fiskars scissors! I only have to buy additional because i habitually misuse them.
I like the tire idea
It works very well
I have about 10 Fisker items in my shop. They are amazing and they offer a lifetime replacement. I have used the replacement twice and they did it quickly and didn't require me to jump through hoops. I only buy Fiskers!
That's great to hear
The tire is a great idea!
It works perfectly
Nice tire idea for sure
I think so too!
Great video! My first axe was an X27! That's the one that opened the door to the axe world! For the money Fiskars is the best you can get! They are the benchmark in that price range!
Love mine
I got x17 for splitting larger logs and x7 for smaller ones great combo for camping.
That is a good combo.
Not sure if it was because of my suggestion, but glad you tried and like the tire idea. Tires have an almost unlimited number of uses.
Edit: Seems you already knew about it. Still, glad you finally did it. Always have to find ways to work smarter.
I've known about it for a long time, that and or binding the wood with chain, rope or straps. You however did convince me to go ahead and order a tire, I've put it off far too long.
Hey Andrew i'm not sure how much heat those solo stoves put off if any, but you might try keeping the wet splits close the solo stove to let some of the radiant heat help dry them out. Like placing splits on fire box of offset smoker. Hope this helps.
Those stoves don't put off much heat being double wall construction.
I have the X5, X7, X11, X17, X21, X25, X27, and the 6lb and 8lb mauls.
OOPS! I almost forgot; I've also got the 2.5lb maul.
Nice!
Too bad, Amazon won't recognize us Canadians on your account. I ordered both for my hubby today. Excellent review, as usual.
I'm working on that, I've heard I can setup an Canadian version, but it does require paper work.
I didn't even know they made the x11. I do use the x7 for some pretty small stuff but i will be adding the 11 to the collection.
It's a sweet compact "splitting" axe. They use to make the x10 (haven't seen it lately) that was an oversized x7 with the hatchet head.
Hi, Andrew! I could watch you split wood all day long. See you at 5:00.
Thank you for watching, see you soon.
If I remember correctly, Mike has sent some very practical gifts before as well. Just mind your fingers, that seems to be razor sharp:((
He has been very generous.
The tire is the way to go. I cut most of the sidewall and bead off each side to only leave a small portion of sidewall near the tread allowing you to fit more in each bundle
I might play around with that, it works very well.
@@TKCL I use it for splitting full splits, might have to find me a small tire for kindling too. Does the pallet wood make good kindling? I've never tried it
It makes excellent kindling and is very easy to split. The caution is that some of it is pine and there's always a risk something could have been spilled on the wood. I use it for outdoor NON cooking fires only.
@@TKCL thanks, I'll give it a try!
I'm saving for a Fiskars X27, now maybe one of these.....
I'm addicted and now want to own all of them 🤣
Go to outdoors with the Morgans and just order their firestarter. It’s a lot easier no chopping just burn it just saying.
I can make my own out of shavings
Oh boy thinking about getting one now 🤔
Luckily it's affordable
Cash5150 you don't need to buy one just borrow Andrew 😅😅
@@chrisavila2073 I wonder if he will come split 🪓 it up also🤔🤔🤔🤔
I was just as close as I'll ever be to you Cash! Not traveling that far ever again 🤣
@@TKCL 🥺🥺🥺🥺 oh ok 😞😞😞
Have you ever looked at or tried the fire starter sold by Mike Morgan? He doesn't use kindling any longer. Having said that, you have options available, looks to me like you can effectively use either one.
I use a fire starter myself and plan to start making my own. I like fire starter for getting the kindling going.
If they are as good as Fiskar scissors, you got something exceptional!
It's the same company
Good day to all.
Good afternoon
It is, are you going to make a smoke house?, Come on, a walk-in!
@byronholmes2496 no plans right now
@@TKCL Now, okay not now!
how is your gate work out
Zero issues, working perfectly.
X11= tuning X7= fine tuning
🤘🤣
Lol yep
Fiskar scissors are best too
I've heard good things about those as well.
Where I'm at, "chilly" starts with a minus sign
Talk to me come summer about triple digits and humidity.
@@TKCL a close friend of mine lived in the Minneapolis area for many years move to Ft Myers. He said it's more humid in Mpls. We have several dozen humid 90 degree days but triple digits are rare. PS, I have a son in the Navy that trained on F18s in Pensacola. Absolutely love northern Florida
I hope the pallet wood you are using is the HT (heat treated) and not the chemical treated.
Good luck finding many pallets with treated wood. Most are built cheap and don't last. I'm not cooking over this and NEVER use pallet wood for cooking or indoors. You never know what was spilled on it. Outside only and small kindling pile that burns away quickly.
@@TKCL I was thinking about the people that use the pallets for projects. That might be a video you could do on what pallet wood you can use for projects.
green wood Burns just the same..With one Small Catch..Just Keep ya Chimney Clean Every Year! I Have Cut a Green Trees & Split Them to Take To The Stove ! All Wood Will Burn I Promise Ya..I Burn Any Thing I Can Find/Get From Oak & Hickory , Maple ,White Oak, poplar, beach an Pine/Ever Green to walnut ! I have used it all..lol. its just Smart to keep ya Chimney Clean yearly Wood & Coal has ben my Main Heat Sores' All my Life
But no doubt it doesn't burn as easily as dried wood. You need a good coal bed going to burn green wood, but it's possible. I still prefer seasoned wood for less steam/smoke and a more enjoyable lighting experience. We burnt some of the 33% moisture wood last night, it was easily started by using some of my fatwood lightered that burns hot and quick. Of course outside burning is different than inside, as you mentioned, I would be on top of chimney cleaning if not using very dry wood.
@@TKCL yes of coarse Season is always best that is just a fact But green will burn pretty good to when ya need /half to..I remember when i was about 10-12 yo we was out of wood one very cold winter with no way to get more so i got my chain saw (yes i had a chain saw at 10yo.lol (im a country/farm boy)and hit the woods cut a big oak tree bucked it up an packed it to the house with a Budy an my dad and maybe my brother(Cant remember) then we split it and that is how we stayed warm for the next 2-3 weeks until the snow /ice melted..Cool Videos to btw always enjoy watching how other people do the same things i have always done !
I had me a Stihl 017 as a child myself. Guns and chainsaws were a normal part of my childhood.
Is there a brick pizza oven in your future?
Yes, but with a twist.
We're is Livestream thumbs nail
I forgot to make is public! 🤦
First ?
Congratulations 👏🎉
Got it!
Hey hey hey hey you want kindling not sawdust😂😂😂😂
Smaller stuff starts easier
@@TKCL i was being a smart butt! lol
I know
Please wear safety glasses when chopping wood or going out into the woods. As a one eyed person, I can tell you it's not fun to have no depth perception . Ounce of prevention and all that...
I too have only one eye, was that being said, small limbs and branches walking through the woods makes me very nervous . Take care of yourself. Andrew, love with the tire hack 👍
