Really interesting how you point out so many things to be aware of for safety. It would be good to take out drone sound. Thank you for the safety information! God bless.

@SurvivalSchoolHouse 11 месяцев назад

Good point thank you. I have seen many axeidents

@fredrikolsen1605 2 года назад

One trick I figured out is to undercut in a really angeled way upwards, then a flat parralel chop to take of chip. This way, the downwards swing wont hit deflect into foot.

@SurvivalSchoolHouse 2 года назад

Good tip, thank you

@benscottwoodchopper Год назад

Great tip. Untill up swing deflects into your face

Amazing video , love how you explain everything

@MitigateStress Год назад

Just read a gruesome axe story of a dude accidentally hitting his foot. Gosh I need to take safety SERIOUS and preach it beyond belief..

@mikejeffsteel 2 года назад

When you say kiss it, do you use your tongue? And has a tree ever kissed you back?

@SurvivalSchoolHouse 2 года назад

We will never know...

@WillieMakeit Год назад

do they kiss with eyes open or closed 🤔👀

Great video!

Thanks!! I finished the book you told me to read, awesome, I think I'll start the Martian next.

@OnceUponAnotherTime 11 месяцев назад

Thumbs up on everything except, one question: If the tree wasn't already a good candidate to chop down, didn't you just *make* it one by whacking so much bark off?

@SurvivalSchoolHouse 11 месяцев назад

Sorry, I didn’t explain that sequence clearly, cut a small slit to the cambium on a candidate tree, determine if dead; from there ring the tree of bark for potential hazards, same principles apply for big chainsaw tree work.

Goid video , thanks for sharing , God bless !

You are not a real axe man every axe man knows if a tree is about to fall you yell "Timber!!" Not "falling" 😂 Love the vid keep the good work up👍

@fredrikolsen1605 2 года назад

Trust me, an axe in swing will cut through your foot. If its barely swung, it might just give a deep cut

@SurvivalSchoolHouse 2 года назад

I agree, I've seen a few cuts in feet and legs with other instructors as well as cutting myself in the shin

@BretVanWinkle 3 года назад

The camera angle changes tho!! Pow!

@SurvivalSchoolHouse 3 года назад

Thanks!! Using Miners axe too haha

@Dogprofile 8 месяцев назад

can you do one of these vids for people without concern for their own wellbeing

@garymitchell5899 2 года назад

'Survivors' with a massive 4x4 and $k's worth of equipment, some of which you know how to use.

@SurvivalSchoolHouse 2 года назад

That's the conundrum, I can show the absolute primitive means like my natural cordage bow drill videos but most don't watch it...

@timmason2556 2 года назад

What do we do if we cut the bark off and the tree is alive still

@SurvivalSchoolHouse 2 года назад

Just cut as small of a piece as you can and the tree will be just fine.

@spleen8834 Год назад

We use duct tape to reattach it

@baulsOFtungsten Год назад

Quick question. Can I use a Pulaski? My job doesn't use regular axes, only pulaskis. (wildland fire hand tool)

@SurvivalSchoolHouse Год назад

Yes a Pulaski would work fine, it is just heavier to swing as you know and usually dull after cutting roots...

@baulsOFtungsten Год назад

@@SurvivalSchoolHouse yeah. Common problem I have since I have to sharpen it every day. Thanks for the tip.

@codyrivenburgh7645 2 года назад

Pls tell me this hole vidoe was a joke?.....because if you chop the Cambuim layer and bar off a tree the way you did to check to see I the tree is dead...you have gurddled and killed the tree anyway....at that point even if u find out the tree is alive you may as well chop it down anyway cuze you just killed it

@SurvivalSchoolHouse 2 года назад

We made sure the tree was dead before ringing the bark, check the smallest area possible first to ensure the tree is dead.

@Sombody123 7 дней назад

@@SurvivalSchoolHouse Probably should have told that to the viewers too. Who knows if there are some people killing trees to check if they are alive. 😄😄
