    I actually bought one of these several years ago for a family camping trip. To be fair, it worked for leisurely camping. Cutting some wood, split some, etc. Easy to carry in the boat. I could not imagine using it for any type of industrial/job/serious survival situation. It fills a niche for the suburban weekend (once a year) warrior. It's also pretty cheap. But not a serious tool. Thanks for the review.

      No they don't. Good tools have their shape since centuries. I am a professional german Toolmaker for more than three decades now, and I can tell, there is no single reliable allround "survival" tool that proofed over time. A Victorinox is the (pricy) attempt to cover some situation with a foldable tool set If one want to have the Basics for "survival" or camping in their truck or backpack, I personaly would grab my Fiskars X7 hatchet, a Bahco or Silky woodsaw, and a sharp fixedblade knive like a Mora. Not too much money to spent and weight to carry, but very versatile and useful, if you know how to work with.
      To master these three tools may take some time and lots of practice. As a result of your training you may have a good time in the woods, without injuries.

    Whenever I hear the words "survival tool", I feel like its like a last resort thing made for small micro jobs, a way to protect yourself, and gathering food and essentials. Not a tool to enjoy or spending a long time in the woods.
    Like, what would you consider the best survival tool out there? None would come close to the quality of other tools meant to handle the grind of the woods.
    Excellent vid as always.

      It's to keep from having an injury in such a survival situation. If the tool is badly made and you get hurt or disabled in some manner it'd make things worse in that moment.

      @TheAkashicTraveller 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The problem is the only time you would buy one of these is when preparing for a survival sitation it's not something you'd just randomly end up with in such a sitation and have to make do with. If you're going to put togeather a survival kit to it properly and sure it may way a bit more in the end but a lot of the time, assuming you didn't end up getting a "survival" toy anyway, it would be cheaper anyway.

    Minor comment, when you were crossing the log you had the chest strap on your backpack still buckled. Always good to unbuckle before a crossing in case you need to ditch quickly.
    EDIT: oh man, I always try to balance a critique with a positive comment. I forgot. I love the real world test of this “tool”. Something that works at home (when you are safe) can fail when you really need it.

    Alright sir, I've been watching your stuff for a looooong time. And this new direction of humor, this self effacing, not taking it overly serious tone is frankly, hilarious. It's quite endearing, I used to think you where a little too much serious especially of yourself. But ever since the "Professional Home Owner" persona has appeared, there certainly is a lighter tone. It's my opinion, a persona is an excellent mechanism to separate yourself a little from the private you. Not everything is for everyone always.

    when engineers that have never worked with the kind of tool have to design it
    the hollow haft makes for a storage space, it also makes it vibrate at every chop
    you save space in your kit with turning it into a saw, but the handle is unwieldy and you would have less discomfort taking a folding saw and a hatchet than taking this thing with you

    I feel like they could have fixed every problem with the ax head AND given a better handle for the saw too. Give it a nice round base for the ax blade, then let the ax flare out from there. Having a wide handle would give it more strength, so it can have less depth so its easier to hold as a saw, and that extra width gives you more room to make a good taper for splitting and cutting.

  • @blackhawks81H
    @blackhawks81H 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Axe handles are VERY important.. For more than most people realize. Anyone who's seen an Amish man at the Store testing out 30 axle handles from a big box knows this... "look at handle, switch angle 12 times, look at each time, hold up to light, look down shaft of handle from 20 angles this time.. Make a bunch of different faces... Hit handle against shoe 15 different ways, feel the vibration, hold up to ear and listen to the sound, make even more faces, bounce off of floor, same as the shoe process, more faces, most resembling how you'd look at a child who disappointed you.... 3 minutes later, grab next axe handle and repeat the whole process. There could absolutely be an entire TH-cam channel called "Amish guy examines axe handles" and it would be a huge hit. Lol and don't take this the wrong way, I'm not ripping on them, I love the Amish people around here and get along with them very well, have great respect for the way they choose to live, and the conviction of their religious beliefs in this ever more degenerate country.. But if you ever get the luck of being in a store, especially a place like a home depot, Lowes, menards... Somewhere they probably dont want to be, but needed an emergency axe handle. Relatively quick..just watch. Hell strike up a conversation... They're generally quite friendly and you'll definitely learn something.
