I use to love going away by my self, sometimes staying out for about 3 weeks. This brings back some memories. Had to start chopping wood at around 4.00 to have enough wood for the night (Winter Australia fire each side of me) Just bought one of those axes after breaking my old one. Nice Vid.
I always come away from your videos with a little knowledge and entertainment. Thanks or sharing those knots. I've ben wondering which axe to go with a felling size or the large hatchet, you made it easy. I'm going to grab a felling axe and the wildlife hatchet. You really do need both depending on the outing. Thanks again.
I really enjoyed your video. you showed a number of nice techniques and processes without making it seem like a tutorial. straightforward presentation and you have your setup down pat. subscribing.
So would you say that axe is a little too big for your usage on this trip? I just picked up the GFB Scandinavia forest axe, and it seems to be just right for the thinks you were doing. I love it. Just wondering if you'd go with a smaller size for this type trip. I really like your vid, and how you showed lots of your processes, but you never really reviewed the axe like I expected from the title.
Hi Kyle, nice video! I am currently rebuilding an very similar axe and want to use this handle for it. Would you be so kind to measure the shoulder and top dimensions of yours for me? I cannot find this online. Thanks!
Awesome video. I will be doing trips like this in the fall when it gets a bit colder out. Don't want the fire to roast me. :D Where did this all take place?
hey man love your channel you got some good videos... i believe i saw joe in some videos ... i know he has a channel but i cant find it if you could lead me their... also i wanna know what you do for a living... i have a feeling your a logger.. awesome vid brother.
A hand saw or power saw? Obviously a power saw would be faster but most people aren't that serious about wood work.. But hand saws? I am was faster with an axe than any hand saw ive tried. I feel like i get a better workout using hand saws and when i need a break ill switch to my axe and go chop something else for a few minutes
Out of curiosity, what all do you bring with you for entertainment when you're solo camping and backpacking. You mentioned reading a book when you were by the fire (curious as to which one). Do you ever bring music or something similar with you when you're doing the long solo trips?
+dustysquito It depends I normally don't need much as I don't stay up by the fire for too long. Sleeping is fun. I usually try to read for an hour and then go to bed. The book I would have read on this trip was called Worldwalker. Good read.
+Burley Outdoors dude good video i wish i could get one of those i just wish they were cheaper i mean they are worth the price but still they are a little much also you look buffed up in that t shirt
You have a very bad swinging technique. You should get the tree flat on the ground, remove the crown, lift the tree onto two logs or a group of sticks on ether end then stand on the log and swing at it between your legs.
Thank you for watching. My technique is not poor. The tree was dead, fallen over, and hung up on another tree. Getting it on the ground was only achieved after slowly working my way up the trunk and could not have been done first. Second you mention to lifting the tree on to two other logs and then stand on it The tree is 50 feet long 12 inches in diameter and weights hundreds if not thousands of pounds. How does one normal guy lift that? Also you recommend putting one round object on top of 2 round objects and then standing on it while swinging a heaving sharp object. Sounds a bit dangerous. I know the old time loggers would stand on the logs and swing. However that was old growth large trees much much larger than what I was cutting. However perhaps I’m all wrong and have something to learn. If you can please post a video of you using your technique I would appreciate it. Thank you!

I know this video is over six years old, but you've got your stuff right. Thumbs up and subscribed.

I have one of these in Canley, Coventry, in the UK 🇬🇧. I love an axing with it when I get chance.
I stopped in for the axe review but actually learned more about cord tying and other camping tips.
Great axe! What would make it even better is if you hafted it on a 28-30 inch curved handle and gave it a steeper grind for chopping
Great watch. I have the same vargo stove for years now I can't go back to carrying fuel any more unless I'm offroad camping; )

Good job on keeping it real! Great video and demo of the axe, and nice camp!
Nice axe man, that thing is a beast. Thanks for the look.
Thanks Buddy, great video!
You look like Arnold Schwarzenegger with the log on the shoulder in his Commando movie. He used a chain saw though so you are a bit tougher than him!
Great outing
Can you make a video on techniques for felling trees or cutting wood?

+Clint cunliffe I to have the Scandi and use it most of the time. Its a little more versatile since it can be used with one hand a lot easier.
awesome vid dude, wish I could get out like that.
Perfect trip by the looks of it. That stove does look intriguing. What kind of knife do you use?
Great knots, thx!

You would think more of that axe with proper felling/bucking technique.
great over night ! the ax worked good , nice camp !

I'm scared for your fingers when trying to make that notch. I cut my thumb pretty bad doing the same thing, almost chopped it completely off.
Somewhere out there the crew from Finding Bigfoot thinks a squatch is trying to communicate.
dude i love your vids keep making them i saw your supershelter FUNNY i would like to come on a overnight, but anyway bring joe back he is funny!
I am trying to decide between the wetterlings feeling axe and the gransfors (31" and 35") Is yours the 31 or the 35?
31
What area is this roughly? great vid thanks for sharing!
Southern Ohio Wayne National Forest
Awesome video. I will be doing trips like this in the fall when it gets a bit colder out. Don't want the fire to roast me. :D Where did this all take place?
jschaeferceo Thanks for watching. Wayne National Forest Ohio
Hell ya man. You need to get back up Nort with Joe ya hey. Those are awesome videos.
Take it easy man!
hello kyle i have a question for you would you rather go solo or with someone else
+Jente Verherstraeten Its good to have a mix of the both but hanging out with friends is always the best.
You need a good machete for that small chopping stuff.. I've chopped through big nasty pine trees with my cheap old Peruvian machete
hey man love your channel you got some good videos... i believe i saw joe in some videos ... i know he has a channel but i cant find it if you could lead me their... also i wanna know what you do for a living... i have a feeling your a logger.. awesome vid brother.
Thanks for watching. Joe changed his channel name it is. Joe Robinet Bushcraft. I'm not a logger just a 9-5 office worker who camps a lot.
thanks very much, and whatever puts the food on the camp fire hey. feel free to check out my channel i think you'd enjoy. atb Kibble!
is that a Mora knife?
Less energy to use a saw but good work out with an axe.
A hand saw or power saw? Obviously a power saw would be faster but most people aren't that serious about wood work.. But hand saws? I am was faster with an axe than any hand saw ive tried.

Burley Outdoors excellent rebuttal. I was thinking the same.
