What about the pants ? The pants are cool!
IS IT BETTER THAN THE WALMART NEW HICKORY HANDLE?
NO TEST OR INFO =p IS IT CHIPPY? DOES IT HOLD AN EDGE AT ALL? BETTER THAN A 1 PIECE EASWING? OR THAT FIKSAR PLASTIC HATCHET?
@WRANGLE...YOU CANT JUST BE A PRETTY FACE AND EYE CANDY ON THESE VIDS !
Cody, where did you get your multicam ballcap?
U look young in this video.And you better start getting ready for that hike buddy.👍👍
I cannot help but admire the growth of Wranglerstars cinematography. Watching this video I can see the lessons you've implemented from other videos you've created such as your 'Solo Ride' video or the Quadvan videos. It's been an exciting time following along the journey!
Glad you enjoy it!
That's why I defended him the other week when people or trolls where bashing away at his content saying it's not good anymore. Anyone with any attention to detail can see the massive improvements to the content over the years.
Agreed, it's one of the best on youtube!
@@legobrickabrac he produces great quality videos no doubt, but some of us are sick of the cheesy cheap Amazon reviews. Just wish we could get a mix of the old content back
Has a real Les Stroud/SurvivorMan type of feeling.
Very impressive.
“A lot of folks say that wasn’t a real test, and we don’t know the hardness of the steal, or this and that. You know what? This is a $12 axe”
and I still don't know the hardness of the steel...
@@lelandsmith2320
As long as it's harder than the wood, it's fine.
@@zacharyrollick6169 pretty much. And learn how to sharpen on river rocks and you’re good for life
Ya, that was An Epic Quote!! 👏🏾 with the best background 👌🏾 🪓..
@@lelandsmith2320 softer means easier to sharpen
mine only has 2 small burrs in it after chopping up maybe 2 dozen large tree branches, de-limbing them all and chopping the branches into shorter logs
I'm also a novice with bad technique and honestly it barely touched the blade. I give it 10/10 for value
You should bring back some of these simple tool videos. I love the way you take such a simple tool as an axe and create a story. Your passion is really showing.
Agreed.
Regarding your grandfather’s dot dash blaze:
I was hiking in the San Bernardino Mountains today and saw the dot dash blaze on my trail. These trees were old growth Lodgepole Pines. Did your Grandfather ever make it to southern CA? I have photos if you want want to see them.
Hope he sees this
Hey @wrenglerstar
I doubt those were made by him. I've seen that mark multiple times, both in the Cascades and in the Sierra Nevada mountains. I'm guessing that, given the small number of marks which can be easily cut into a tree with an axe, there is probably a lot of overlap between woodsmen.
@wranglerstar
Wow that would be soon cool if that was his blaze!
"Crossing rivers can be dangerous"
Proceeds to cross the river at least 3 times for each shot of him crossing the river.
Once for the shot. Twice to retrieve the camera. A third time to actually get to the other side with all his equipment. I love the dedication to the beautiful cinematography in these videos - simply to review a $12 harbor freight hatchet.
It's good exercise.
The videos have certainly gotten better because of the shots he gets. It's awesome to watch
It's perfect he gets all this content for a 12 dollar axe not a 100k sports car that doesn't even have 2 alternators.
He never said don’t cross them he just said you gotta be careful
He’s still not using all of his lung capacity.
Cody, all that climbing is turning you into a string bean. That's a great little hatchet. The great thing about softer, tougher steel is that you can restore the edge on a slab of stream-side sandstone. Try that with a chipped-edge Spyderco. Thanks for the great video.
These videos are so wholesome...Honestly man...I watch these videos and think this is what it means to be a good dad, a good person....Kind hearted but so knowledgeable...I love it and gives me such a breath of fresh air. Love these videos, keep up the good work.
I've had one of those hand axes for nearly two years now and I've used and abused it removing stumps and roots and all that.. It's held up surprisingly well. It's also surprisingly ergonomic.. I recommend it.
Our dude really climbed a mountain, to sit down on a stump and say "stop overthinking it, and just enjoy a thing that works well, regardless of how or who made it".
lol
Till you’re speaking Chinese
Love my Nikes made from child labor
@@PathMaster7 they gotta make that $ too !!!! .01¢ to them is probably $100 here !! Ha
"At least once a day, do something that scares you"
Spot on. You've earned yourself a sub, sir. Love the content.
my daily commute checks that box!
I simply look in the mirror. Scary what I see
I know the exact spot and location of where he was there, and in this video.
Been there many times myself, live less than an hour away.
Truly beautiful place I gotta say.
Scariest thing ever started with “I do”. The horror……
East Coast Connecticut Guy enjoys these survival videos, not to mention putting the Wranglerstar touch on tools.
You're one of the hardest channels to put into words as to why I love it. You, being a firefighter, have access to the best tools in the woods in the business. Or as an ex firefighter, have had such. Yet you still take the time to test the common man bushcraft items, and genuinely give them a go, and are honest about your experiences, good or bad. Including with non-common man items, like the mentioned Spyderco axe. I just really appreciate you, man. I love the detail you go into the, sorry, unfucking of the tool, sometimes. Just simple things that make them worth 3x the price. All my axes are sharper, all my tools are Ballistol'd. Thanks.
You know... i'm not really big into forestry and what not, probably because i live in the city. But something about Wrangler and his videos are just very calming and relaxing. i find myself watching his videos for hours on end. Having seemingly no genuine need or interest for the information he provides, i somehow still enjoy learning and watching him calmly demonstrate stuff, helps with my anxiety honestly. I know im probably not the exact audience you're intending to inform or please, but hey, it works either way haha! Keep up the good work man!
you are right
Nothing like using my chainsaw every weekend, I grew up in Las Vegas Nevada but born in new mexico, I always ended up back in the woods, best way to relax and enjoy nature🤙
You never know when you might end up stranded in the wilderness and need the information you've been obtaining. I believe all people (city or country) should have a broad knowledge of wilderness survival.
He does so much extra walking just to set up the camera and walk back into frame
Respect ✊🏼
Heck yeah man it's pretty cool isn't it
He does a great job
Reminds me of Les Stroud.... Excellent work..
I’ll tell you, some of you guys can find the most nit pickinest stuff to whim about! Let’s see if any of you guys can do a better job! Yeah, I doubt it too!
I bought the full size HF hickory handle axe several months ago, I've been so impressed with it I recently purchased another one (I liked the grain in the handle better than the first one I picked) and also grabbed the only hickory hatchet they had left! I was so excited to get one, I know silly... But it's a great thing when a $12 tool can give you the fizz. I'll call that a win every day of the week! Looking forward to putting the hatchet through it's paces.
Awesome, my thoughts exactly. Everyone gets so caught up thinking they have to have the best of the best that it almost stops them from enjoying the simple things. I have this hatchet and enjoy it alot. Thanks again for all the time you put into your videos.
I personally get tired of the “testing the cheapest X on Amazon, etc” videos….but I liked this one. Wranglerstar’s cinematography has grown exponentially and is quite beautiful.
Cat-like balance and reflexes on display during the river crossing,,,,
He had to go back and get the camera too. Everything is done twice.
And he totally disregarded the natural bridge in the left frame. Parkour lol.
@@AmountStax It's because of the dual alternators...
I bought one a few years back and did a few modifications to it and it works just great. I sanded and polished the entire head before I sharpened it and sanded the handle and oiled it with several coats of mineral oil. I bought a sheath for it too. It is a great tool and much better than many others out there for a lot more money, just like you said.
“At least once a day do something that scares you”
I really like that, a good thing in life that can help you get through the hardest parts
I picked one up, will probably be doing similar modifications today or tomorrow when I find some downtime. Thanks for the idea and keeping an eye out for great deals! I love this thing!
The other important point is that someone could buy several of these, make the modifications that you did, and leave them in a couple of places. For instance, if someone had a hunting camp, this ax could stay at the camp. If one forgot to bring an ax, this one is there but doesn't represent a huge financial loss if something happens to it. If one remembers to bring another ax from home but two people are at camp, then two people can work on chopping chores.
That's why I have an axe or hatchet in each vehicle, and a basic tool kit, and a basic camping kit, etc. Any tuned axe is better than no axe. Shop estate sales, etc.
Great advice👍
I love these wilderness and survival videos. I miss hunting and hiking, I've been working so much, this is sort of an escape. Please post more.
Videos like this are really a blessing for outdoorsy cheapskates like me! In this case, harbor freight has some really solid products for the prices, and I am always on the lookout for tips on what to buy or avoid.
Cody, As a native Oregonian I’ve spent a lot of my time in the old growth forest, and I must say you do a fantastic job with your filming. I get the feeling of being out there every time I watch your videos. Well done.
Probably the most honest heart to heart he's done about a tool.i enjoyed it
Thank you for your impressive library of videos.
You are a catalog of information no outdoorsman should go without.
I want to see you survive 3 days with just the hand axe. I have one. Now I'm going to buy one for my son too. Your attention to detail and enthusiasm for your work are contagious. Bravo.
I for one really appreciate honest tool reviews on lower end tools. Not everyone can run out and buy the "best" there is.
Being a professional homeowner myself, Harbor Freight items are amazing for when you just need something that is "good enough to do the job".
I LOVE the oscillating tools they carry that go for $15. I'm a proud owner of 3 so when one tears up due to rough use I just pitch it and grab another. Still getting off cheaper than one of the "high end" brands and concern myself less with the care and handling of the tool. By the way I've given them the name of Oscar. Lol
I'm glad you did come out and actually test the ax in the real world--God bless your work and time given
Thanks for the video. Recovering from being ill. This was a real lift.
After watching your first video on this axe, I went and bought myself one. Scraped, stained, honed, and treated mine just like you show in the video. I love this thing, great weight, solid construction. Thanks for the recommendation!
When something is as inexpensive as that hatchet, you can be more aggressive with it than you would an expensive one...not be so worried about chopping up roots or going into the soil, where you might hit rocks, etc...
Well don't forget He tutch it up him self and though it didn't take him long it's a much more of a job for a company to pay the man power and resource to do that to all of there stock. You can expect to pay about 25$ to 35$ extra for that at rrp.
@@JKHTX Well He don't care about beating up exspencive things most of the time.
Still discovering your videos and each one teaches me something new. Thank you
I'm enjoying this video as I scrape, sand, and sharpen my harbor freight hand axe. I'm very thankful for this wonderful budget option that I can put some effort and love into and have a very useful tool. Thank you for your videos and honest opinion. God bless you and your family.
At least once a day, do something that scares you. My granddad said exactly the same thing. Stuff like this is why I am such a big fan of your channel.
This "review" is a breath of fresh air... there are so many products and tools out there that are grossly overpriced and revered by too many.
Bought one of these after watching it. Sorted through the whole rack based on your advise in previous videos. Made a fun project, and is absolutely a handy tool around my property.
We really appreciate you taking the time to show us real world products and more importantly how they fare in real world applications, your level of expertise is obvious and as such your word and your review is trusted. Thanks again and continue educating and enlightening those of us that appreciate this type of content
Dang. The cinematography is killer.
You’re not wranglerstar unless your lungs have 30% more capacity than normal
And dual alternators
@@wranglerstar Did you know your truck has duel alternators? Gives me the fizz
@@Giovanni_Litterini Wranglerstar's alternators fight to the death at 20 paces?
My lungs are also 30% bigger and I can swim under water the full length of a normal sized indoor pool and not come up till the other side.
My stomach is 30% larger. Didn’t know it until after I was married.
Love watching your shows you’re very intelligent. You seem to know a lot about a lot of things like my grandpa did. That’s why I keep coming back. Thank you for all that you do for us.
I love all of your videos! They really put an insight Into the older way of survival and good tips and tricks to keep your equipment top notch. Keep up the good work
Just wanted to let you know I just invested in my first proper set of leather boots because of you. And I couldn’t be more pleased with them. Thanks for the advice!
Love these Videos. Thanks. I went to Harbor Freight yesterday to buy the ax. I told the guy I saw a youtube video about it. They were all out. They did have the pruning saw. Today I went to walmart. They have a similar one. They also have a pruning saw. They are the Ozark brand. Looked pretty good. I will wait for the HF one.
50K thumbs going up, I think it’s time we see the top of the world👍🏼
Yuppp

*Breathes*
Fire:
*shivers in fear*
Men, I discovered your channel by accident. But, since that I don`t lose a single video. It`s simple, direct, no trash talk and embrace us in those little pieces of your journey. Many thing to learn, some disagreements here and there but that`s how it goes. I not even a religious kind of person, but I always enjoy the final part, about yours and ours prays. Keep up with the great videos and let`s march to the top of the mountain! Prays from Brazil!
I do enjoy seeing you doing things outdoors. I live in Florida, and will probably never get to see this part of our country. Thank You for bringing it to me Wranglerstar.
These and gear tests def the best content on the channel
great work Cody. You have inspired me to be less reliant on others and learn new things in my life. Even us East Coast guys can learn new things.
You’re the only person I will like a video for, your voice and tone is so soothing, you’re full of knowledge of stuff that interests me and you’re very respectfult
Love your videos...this will be the second hatchet I have bought on your recommendation...thank you!
New to the channel, absolute favorite. Thank you.
I used to be able to go on hikes like this, but my back problems have ended that. Now I can't walk a mile without my legs going numb. Take better care of yourself now young people, or you will pay for it later.
Awful isnt it ?!?!
I grew up in thePacific NW too. I sorely miss the outdoors of that area. The sights, smells and sounds...even the air. Living in S Arizona I get a quite different experience outdoors.
Bravo.. 🪓 just got one not to long ago.. but haven't sharpen it yet! But after watching your two, three videos on it, I'm more grateful for it.. it's my first Axe 🪓🤪... Thanks Mr.
Always great content. Keep it coming as long as it serves you...
I found the Last of the Mohicans cover music was very fitting to your little adventure :)
In the spirit of the old bugle boy jeans commercials, “ pardon me, are those dual alternators you were running”? Great video. I bought 2 of these hatchets yesterday and modded them. Great hatchets. Something every professional homeowner needs to own!
Great video. Love the hiking and camping videos. Now I need to get myself that hand axe.
Cody, Been following you since your first Homestead in the mountains. Enjoy your presentations and have learned allot.
Great Stuff Cody!
"I like it because its not pretentious."
"Its good enough."
Those are the words of a confident, man who knows exactly what he is about. Holy Spirit is working in you my friend. (Can I call you that?)
Where did you buy your multi-cam ball-cap? Looks sturdy. I've been looking for same and another in OD. Subdued flag patch a must.
Blessings
I have seen people in the comments saying the channels lost its way but I Dissogree. This video was great.
The Guy who gets the fizz of the most expensive and exclusive stuff like boots made of super rare horse leather suddenly loves chinesium because it’s cheap? Makes you think, doesn’t it?
@@chtsv huh... a little. Maybe he's realizing we are all poor and can't afford the stuff he's been recommending. Or maybe his new place is just close to a harbor freight.
@@chtsv gets the fizz? Lol I’m not sure what you’re trying to say uere
@@jakep5121 My guess is he get a little something on the side to do this review. My guess it’s he don’t like the axe very much. He only uses it to make the worst walking stick I’ve ever seen. The rest of the video is just prancing around in the forest. All other axe reviews have been about the axe
This man amazes me. Certainly the guy to stick with when things go bad outdoors. 👍
My favorite video so far. A tool I can just go out and buy. A clear how make it better. Then glorious nature and tips that actually work. Also the music in background is some of my favorite songs ever.
You make great videos my man, thank you for your efforts.
Who would have thought, Harbor Freight of all places
Sometimes you can find treasures amongst the trash.
“It is what it is; and sometimes what it is, is good enough” Very nicely said. 👍
loved the video man, prayers for you and your family sir.
50K Subs, looks like we're going up the summit. Absolutely love the videos brother, keep up the good work!
Your videos are the best and I love your channel and I have been subscribed for 4 years now and your videos are always interesting and informative and I have been using your forest management practices as well they really make the forests a lot healthier keep up the good work wranglerstar you’re the best
Thank you so much!
Love these videos bud. Keep up the good work
These are great! Amazing work, good videos.
Watched this video while making the "upgrades" to the harbor freight hatchet, awesome content, we need more God fearing men like you on social media!
"at least once a day, do something that scares you"
me with a panic disorder T_T
Agreed. Sometimes the axe you have is better than the one you have to save for. Especially when you need firewood.
I would have thought that your heart would be 30 times bigger, because you are so kind and thoughtful
Really enjoyed this. Inspired to get out while the weather holds this weekend.
"it is what it is, and sometimes what it is, is good enough" thats actually really good saying sir take my upvote and my subscribe.
i really appreciate the like, keep on keeping on
I would be interested in a video of you making a leather sheath for that axe!! Even a belt style one.
Hearing a person rave about something just makes me wanna buy it and your demeanor in the video makes it so good
Awesome video brother! Loved it! Keep on keepin on. The music was great also! Different variations of last of the Mohicans theme are always awesome to hear.
always happy to see another AXE video from Wranglerstar
It’s hard to believe that where your hiking around is real becaus of how good it looks
This guy needs to make more videos like this, I love them!
Big fan of your work, thank you for making this video.
Let’s show that appreciation and get more likes on this video than the video where we made him come out here! 👍🏼
Also who else wants to see the top?

Lol nope
I really enjoy your wilderness vids and your reviews of the HF products.
Your advices are pretty useful. Thank you!
But what was the test? What’s it like trying to chop enough wood for a camp fire and to use while building a shelter.
Beautiful video, but not what was promised.
The test was him taking it on a trip with him.
@@EatMyCupcake he went for a walk with it . . .
@@tylerhudgins2504 It felt good though
Only 4k thumbs up left to go!
You got mine 👍
Really nice, calming video. Love the content
I was in the Marines for a couple of years but I would say you definitely have many things I could learn from you!
Cody could you please do a video on the East wing 26" camping axe? It's a USA made company known for their Hammers so the handle vibration should be very little. It's available on Amazon
I would share the Amazon link but TH-cam thinks it's spam
I may be incorrect but I believe that he has done an eastwing axe In the three-axe comparison video
@@Hank_Amarillo Cody is always testing things from Amazon.If you don't like it take it up with him not me
I'd like to think Cody have a magic pack full of endless cameras and just leaves them around the forest 😅 so instead of going back to get them the forest is littered with camera's
Thank you for taking your time to show us. I enjoyed your video. Thank you very much.
Always so wholesome. Thanks for the videos :)
