Another thing I like about your videos is that you don't use that annoying music so many people use which makes it much easier to hear what you have to say! Watching your videos is like being right there in the woods with you explaining everything. That is a talent of delivery you have which few people possess.

Most excellent, wise and sage advice. I want to inject two caveats: Never pick up an axe of any type if you are exhausted or distracted. Never go near anyone else who is exhausted or distracted if they are swinging a axe. Great video! :) truly a keeper :)

I don't see why anyone would ever want to nitpick about your tips, but I believe you. To me, your suggestions are always presented in such a humble non-judgmental fashion, offered as helpful suggestions and not do or die rules, that are from your own personal experience. But, that's the way of the world we live in today. People are argumentative for little to no reason these days. Most would not take the time to pass on practical safety tips or give away their hard earned pearls of wisdom. Those people are the ones that say; let him learn it the hard way. I for one Thank You, for every tip. And furthermore I'm not a camper, but worked with sharp objects all my life, so, I know your teachings are very sound.

Still got my fingers after all these years, but I've had a few close calls ... I guarantee! I like these "tricks and tips"! Here's my two cents ... if you don't have a sheath, tie part of an old inner-tube around the head as a substitute and never carry an uncovered ax head. Always enjoy these visits. Thanks, my friend, Clark

A few years back, while on vacation in Hawaii, I stumbled upon your channel. Nirvana. I watched video after video during my vacation, totally wrapped up in your lessons. I became a loyal subscriber. Now, here I am again, on vacation in Hawaii, still watching and still impressed by what information you bring to your viewers. You will probably save innumerable fingers, toes, and (uh) other parts with this video alone. All the ingenious gadgets you fabricate, the various bright ideas you come up with -- all treasures. You have an incredibly loyal following, including me (who travels in an RV but has a bug-out bag at home, in case of). I'm 78; husband is 92 and a WWII veteran (served in Italy -- and is through with tent camping forever), but we still enjoy the outdoors. My Xmas present 3 years ago, that I asked for, is an SP53. Hey!!

As a young boy, I played with knives and hatchets. I had no training on how to use them. I used a hatchet to hammer something and I came back too far and hit my head with the blade. It was a painful trip to the hospital. Good that you show these safety tips.

Hi Dave, I remember this video now and I had already given it a "thumbs up" like I do with all your videos. My guess is that I'd forgotten because of all the combined axe/hatchet safety tips and the fact of how much you use a machete in so many videos. I really enjoy using my hatchet a lot more than my axe (I have a single bit "pack axe"), but since my hatchet is more versatile and light, I guess it's no wonder I prefer my hatchet. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to answer my message on your latest video, and Rock On my friend!

When I was a Boy Scout, seems like a hundred years ago, a fellow scout walked by our scoutmaster while holding his hand axe with the blade pointed away from him. He raked the blade across the scoutmaster's hand, cutting every finger to the bone. The scout was being careful with regard to his own safety, but careless with regard to the safety of others. Axes are just not held in the same consideration as knives when in actuality they may even deserve even more respect.

Hi Dave, and thanks again for sharing your entertaining wisdom. I became very experienced with hatchets and small axes as a child. My grandma, who had an acreage outside of town with a lot of trees in the yard, always hired me after midwestern windstorms to hack up/clean up downed limbs. I got a lot of practice and became very proficient for a little kid. A tool like that is a very good teacher, but very unforgiving. She always jokingly warned me that if I did anything stupid and had an acccident, they would just deposit me in the property right across the fence--the Hazelwood Cemetery! lol That learned me some common sense pretty quick. All the best, Brother.

Another great vid. I use old bicycle tube pieces to cover the wood handle just under the axe head. This way you have a rubber coating to bounce off of if you miss or the force continues a follow through and the is a potential threat of hitting on rocks or a previously chopped wood. I noticed you had some dings just under the head. Great job

@Eric-ew8jt 7 лет назад
As always very good tricks and tips David, Couple of points and questions if I may. 100% Agree when you were mentioning about always keep the sheath on your axe. When people carry it over there shoulder(Sheath on) and if they were to trip could the weight of the axe head still cause a bad injury say to the back of the neck or base of the skull?? I mean everyone falls a little different (Just curious as to your thoughts on that) .. Hatchets are accidents waiting to happen to someones knees. I still have mine nut don't use it much anymore.. I find the more you go out the more you realize what you don't need and what you do need.. I remember you said that ain different videos and it always stuck with me... I feel you on the ''rocks everywhere'' comment. Yellowknife is a Sub Arctic environment so there's rocks and sand everywhere, and trees that are no bigger around than your arm. No hammock camping here my friend, As far as machetes go I carry one in my car as a part of my vehicle emergency kit... Well thank you for taking the time to put out another great video, And taking the time to read my super long comment.. I wish you could come here you'd be blown away with how big this boreal forrest really is.. Take care and ATB from Canada my friend.
@Reallybigmonkey1
@Reallybigmonkey1 7 лет назад
Well yes, you probably can get hurt if you fall with it balanced on a shoulder. But with a leather sheath, it will just cause a bruise. Without the sheath that axe could sever something that might result in death.

@jackkeller5180
@jackkeller5180 5 лет назад
Great video, Dave. Here’s a trick for those trying to use the hammer poll of a pack axe or hatchet to drive in a tall stake---a chore that can result in glancing blows or handle hits for those not proficient with the tool. Cut a 2-foot section of another tree or branch that is twice the diameter as that of the stake. Split the section and place a flat split surface on the stake and hit the section over the stake. Don’t hold the section to the right or left of the stake as this will present a curved surface toward you, guaranteeing that a short swing will cause a glancing blow in your direction. Instead, hold the free end of the section aimed at your right or left shoulder, thereby exposing any glancing blows to your left or right and not exposing your handle to damage should your swing be a bit too long.

Reallybigmonkey1 by the way your comment about wearing leather boots, I don't ever have to worry about that. People think I'm crazy because I wear my boots everyday/all day , I actually only own one pair of tennis shoes and they're probably 15yrs old and still look new.

What do you feel are the advantages and disadvantages of a single bit vs a double bit axe? Interested in your opinion.
@Reallybigmonkey1
@Reallybigmonkey1 7 лет назад
Ill just list the main advantages that really matter. The single bit can be used to drive stakes or knock out sections of sawed wood for notches. With a double bit, you can have one side profiled for chopping and felling wood and the other side for splitting wood.

I just made the last of my firewood into kindling for practice with the sharpened estwing large tomahawks and an old 26 or so inch axe! Fun, but too much cocoa/ coffee, so I finished my second kephart style mod. From very old paper knives. Then I was so rambunctious that I dug thru my shelves for some kydex type sheets and just finished 2 sheaths for them! At 65 I am still energetic on organic food and wild plants and herbs!

Although I think that having the axe in line with the wood you are splitting and moving them both together is the easiest and by far safest way to split smaller wood with it. There is a way to get chopped wood to stand up on a log. Instead of chopping a flat in a log, chop a V shape in the log to hold the chopped wood which will also have a V shape in it. This way the 2 V's will work together. Of course this will mean that you will need a bigger piece of wood for it to hold together as a base. Thanks for all the good information!

The reason I asked about being stuck in a car is that once, my son and I were in a car in 26 deg. weather and we taped space blankets to the insides of our coats and around the inside of the sleeves and around our legs. Then we put hand warmers in our gloves and covered up with blankets, but we were still pretty cold. Is there anything else we should have done?
@Reallybigmonkey1

Just from hearing what gear you had you probably did all you could do. I do hope you were both under the blanket together. Shared body heat always helps in a bad situation.

Being in a car like that surrounded by metal an glass can sometimes be colder than being outside. If you had a tarp and some blankets it would have been good to build a small space shelter outside the car but it takes a lot of blankets and tarps to make a good one.

@dereinzigwahreRichi
@dereinzigwahreRichi 7 лет назад
Hey Dave, great video as always and you really know to keep our expectations high! :D Two more points that came to my mind: What's good for your feet is also right for your hands, so one should consider wearing gloves, Kevlar/Nomex or leather should be fine. Won't prevent accidents with hatchets totally but might lessen the consequences. I do so since I hit my thumb once, think I told the story in another comment on one of your videos. Second thing wasn't subject of your video but I want to spread the word anyway. If you're using a traditional type of chopping block, like a sawn off tree stump, for splitting wood then you should put it more to the far end of the block. That way when you should miss the piece of wood you'll most likely hit your axe/hatchet in the chopping block than swing through and hit yourself. Got this from another very good axe safety video from some english guy, I don't remember exactly what the channel was called. I like to use my tomahawk as it's lightweight but has quite a long handle making it suitable for felling and splitting smaller diameters. And I'm more of a trecker than a camper, so I'll also have to carry it around a lot. But with this kind of tool I have to consider all of your wise words from your tips and tricks video "The big one is for removing toes, the small one is for removing fingers. Remember that and you will be succesfull!" ;) May you stay safe and keep all your fingers with you!
@Reallybigmonkey1

This may not be an episode of Chef David, but you certainly fed my brains. I've had almost zero experience with a full ax, little experience with a camp axe, a decent amount of experience with a hatchet, and tons of experience with saws. I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to proficient sharpening. I've only used water with a two sided stone. I assume that oil or water is used as a lubricant for sharpening. You said that people generally don't carry stones soaking in oil because of the mess. That makes sense. Would paraffin work? Meaning, could you boil a stone in paraffin and use it? It certainly would be portable. As for webbed pocket on the machete survival kit being prone to snags, that certainly crossed my mind and crossed my mind when I had a pack with that very mesh. I don't prefer the mesh, but usage told me that yeah it did snag a little, but nowhere near what I thought it would. Besides, yours is re-purposed from a bag.
@Reallybigmonkey1
@Reallybigmonkey1 7 лет назад
LOL, Brother Chris Im glad it fed your brain. Although before long I do have another chef Dave video coming up. Thats a big no on the paraffin on the stone. Paraffin is more of a protectant, like a covering. Thats not what the oil does. The oil lubricates the stone and washes away the micro particles of metal that form during the sharpening process. The mesh bags seems to work well like it is. It aint like I charge through brush all the time any way. Take care and thanks for watching Chris.

I have been trying to watch for days now... nice video and informative as well. The safety aspect is what really caught my attention and I like many, am not experienced in using axes or hatchets or tactical tomahawks. That being said, I cut one of my fingers while just cleaning a Khukri (Clearance item) and I bled quite a bit. Honestly it began to scare me. And as sharp and clean as the cut was, it took months to really heal and the skin to grow back to shape. Now things feel weird or different when I touch anything with my finger tip. It would be scary to hurt oneself with one of these tools and do greater damage. I want to learn to use them, but I respect what they can do if mishandled.
@Reallybigmonkey1
@Reallybigmonkey1 7 лет назад
Ill say always respect anything sharp! Funny thing, Ive been cut a lot with my smallest knives but never with an axe and once with a machete. I guess Im more careful with the bigger blades. Learn the axe, respect what the axe can do and it will be a very valuable tool. Thanks for watching

@sacmunch
@sacmunch 4 года назад
I really like the pinching device you made to hold the log... very good advice. I personally never thought that far ahead and just placed the edge of the axe on the log and gently lifted and dropped both together as one until the axe had a small bite and then lifted it all up again and gave it a good hard drop until it split. Safest way I knew until now. Also I know it's not good but I turn my double bit ace sideways and drive tent pegs with it... not like sledge hammer force but easier for me than using a rock for a hammer
@Reallybigmonkey1
@Reallybigmonkey1 4 года назад
A lot of folks have used that method you mentioned. 90% of the time it bites in. 10% it bounces off in an unexpected manner. Oh, I've used the side of my double bit for pegs too but I'll never admit it. Lol. Thanks for watching Sam

Reallybigmonkey1 your welcome. Industrially it wouldn't be hard to set up. As long as you can cut say 10 at once. Then it'd be like Henry Ford. Think of eacg step. Fror eg if you put pouch on outside cut and hem pouches 10 at once. Then sew to blanket. Then sew 10 lots of mylar in. As you repeat you'll find quicker steps. I think a lot of your stuff has merit and would sell. Its just a matter if going frim concept to production , which ofyen is the hurdle. Id seriously crunch numbers and get quotes for bulk material. Ill buy one but 7 foot long as I'm 6' 4" lol. Seriously im considering buying a grab blanket but would rather yours. Have you thought of ykk zips?
