This is my brother and he has turned out incredibly talented and smart! I am even addicted to his videos. He has always been alot of fun and great sense of humor and makes you laugh alot for real!!!
@@Reallybigmonkey1 I'm thinking the whole family is a barrel of laughs. You made me laugh again. And for that fella that got the line..."I sawed this to make point"... You dont get to be the only one. Theys funni
Your words Lisa and my sentiments about your brother! He's got more followers than he can even imagine, not everyone is clicking his like butten. You one fortunate woman just to be his sister. The sun for me has reached the zenith a long time ago,God I wish I could call him my friend, spend a day in the woods with him, a wonderful man ,and I don't think you walk far behind him !
Another video crammed full of good advice. Laughed out loud at the line "the reason I sawed this square on the ends is to make a point" am I the only person to find this funny? Keep up the great work Dave.
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.
I'm glad you liked it and I'm always happy to share everything I know. If I can make folks happier and safer in the woods then I have done my job! Thanks for watching
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
Thats good to hear you have all your fingers! I'm glad you liked it all. Thats a good idea with the inner tube. Great hearing from you Clark and Thanks for watching
I was running ask him if there was anything else besides leather to use cause I bought a crappy little 2 buck axe that has no sheath lolz and don't judge it on it's price it a crap load better then those Walmart brand crap
I'm laid up with a sore leg just now.Watched this video with a cup of hot coffee and a hand full of pain killers. Great video, it was a real tonic. Keep it up, thoroughly enjoyed it, I could have watched for hours.
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.
Thank you for the great tips. My son is now old enough to be a scout and I used your video to teach him what to do. Then we will practice in the back yard. Thank you for being our training video. We will choose to keep our fingers. :-)
wow that using the ax as a plumb Bob such a good idea and so simple you just blew my mind brother !! great video thank you sir and God bless you and yours!!
IDK if I mentioned this. But again my wife made the comment again this morning when I started watching this video. She says, now that's a guy I'd really like to meet. And not in some weird way. Just because your down to earth and provide a ton of information. Thanks for the vids, keep em coming Bro. No Axe-adents.
Not weird at all brother. Im just about as down to earth as can be. Im a hoot to camp with or just talk over coffee. Thats how I like to be know as. Take care and thanks for watching Brent!
Enjoy your videos. Keep em coming Dave. After all the hours of watching your videos and being entertained i realized that i don't even rent movies anymore. Let me know how to support your channel instead of paying amazon lol
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!
A lot of folks know me as a machete guy and are astounded by this video. Lol. Usually a saw has to accompany a machete but a hatchet is a stand alone tool. I have 4 hatchets I do love. Thanks for watching brother
You know its a good morning when you have good dark roast coffe , its raining outside and bigmonkey released a video :) Also damn! Cody got roasted lol ;)
Another great video. I just started carrying a hatchet while packing. You've undoubtedly made me safer. Derek P.S. You said, "I made this flat, to make a point". 😁
Well done Dave - great info. Several things I didn't know. Axes are so dangerous - have seen several accidents. Really glad you sold me on the Ontario Knife SP53 machete - a much safer and more useful tool.
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.
Thank you for explaining the significance of having the length from your armpit to your cupped hand. Dave Canterbury and many other youtubers are big on that length of handle, but never explained why. Keep up the good work.
hey ya David, atlast you are back in the www again, it´s bin almost 1week. we all didn´t now wat to do with all our time, wen you are not in the web. : ) ; ) ha ha. but then i open lap top and i know it´s going to be a good day with David Pearson and me. great video David, this trick with the two sticks is verry cool, i could used it when i was 6 or 7 years old. i stil have the scar on the back of my hand, my brother and me were chopping wood and i was holding the log, he lifts that hatchet and mist the log. i got12 stitches and lost almost10 gallon of my blood ha ha ; ) ( it looked that mutch for a litle boy) lucky the hatchet was not so sharp and slipped over the bones and tore of only the skin, i had a huge bruise over weeks. my brother was afraid that i lose my hand. now you know another part of my life. i wish you and your family al the best and see you in your next one. bey David!
Hello Willem! Its always good to be back on here and I'm glad you liked it. Thats a pretty scary story you told. If that axe had been sharp I could have seen you lose a hand easy! Im glad you made it through it. Thanks for watching and see you again soon!
yea David, in my life were a lot of accidents, i stopped couting them. maby i should write a book about all my accidents and you explain wat i did wrong. it will definitely be a best seller and we make a bunch of money brother. ha ha ;) germany sends greeting and wish you and your family all the best. see you in your next video!
Great video my friend I've seen too many people hurt themselves with axes and especially 12 year old kids, the injury I see the most is the ace going right into their leg just below the knee and ankle basically into their chin
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Oh man do I hear ya. I personally have seen at least 5 axe injuries that even make me leery to pick one up! Thanks for watching
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.
I'm glad you liked it and I'm always happy to share. Great story! We need more grandparents like that nowadays getting kids to use their hands. Thanks for watching
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
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Good thoughts on sing that inner tube. No matter how good an aim a person is over the years you get a few dings. My Grandads axe had some dings because its way over 30 years old. Thanks for watching
Excellent video brother. You always prove you're never too old to learn. I remember my old friend from West Virginia choppin the smallest ever kindling with a camp axe. I always waited for him to chop off a fanger, but he never did. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Alex, I'm glad you liked it. Beating it through wood on occasion aint too bad but over a period of time it spreads the eye out making it useless. Thanks for watching Brother
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.
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.
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.
Love the bag improvements. Great video! I got my kiddo a hatchet for her birthday. I'll be having her watch this before she takes it out for bushcrafting. Thanks!
Pretty cool tips on splitting wood. Thanks for sharing. I nicked my thumb with my hatchet (it wasn't bad), but now I'll know how to using in a safer manner.
Thanks Scott, I'm glad you liked it. Years ago I nicked my thumb too. Amazing how it happens so fast you dont even realize what happened! Thanks for watching
Dave u saved a lot of fingers and toes from getting shorter and hands and feets from getting opened while using that sharp piece of metal,appreciate ur lessons like always,,thanx
Very informative and thought provoking. Good solid tips. I watch a lot of these woods craft videos and maybe it's the former industrial safety monitor in me: but would like to see more people wearing safety glasses. I realize they're not "old timey" or "Bushcrafty" but believe me having only one eye sucks! Grateful job Dave keep it up. I'm hooked on this channel!😎
about your parting words... I've always said: you don't need to protect yourself, just protect the parts you want to keep. ;) good advice BTW, you actually taught me a thing of two. Thanks!
Thank you Dave! I just got an axe and a hatchet... I hv not had a chance to use them yet, my son is making leather sheaths and collars for them. I'll keep in mind all ur tips when handling them!
Pretty much as expected David! Some great pointers on axe use and safety, brought to us with your wit and enthusiasm. That makes for a great combination. Thank you Sir!
i took the time to watch this whole video. as always you make entertaining videos which are also educational. i have learned to work with an axe over the last years...it is not the easiest thing to do. so i always like safety tips and when they are mixed in with some good humour...even better!
Hello Brother John! Great hearing from ya man and Im happy you liked the video. Ive used an axe off and on for years but havent stuck with it long enough to get real good at it so axes make me nervous. LOL. I remember you had that video on a Granfors broken. I was shocked when I saw that. I hope it was you. Take care and thanks for stopping by.
Thanks Blake, I'm glad you like em. We use small axes down south, we dont have enough cold to process a lot of wood. Just camp craft mostly. Thanks for watching
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.
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.
Dave i have been whanting and learning a lot from guys like you and i have seen this video before and i like how you showed how to cut a pice of wood with out cutting your self with the axe. And i only have a one blade hatchet and that my frind is a very great big pluse so i don't cut myself my thumds up to you for these videos you put together for the fun and safety of the outdoors and also thank you for telling and showing at lest me for telling and showing why to have a bright coler so i don't loose anything. And be 😎
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!
Great job! I love how I always get two or three little tidbits of information that I never learned before. How did you get so smart? Oh that's right you're my son LOL
Of course he got his smarts from me. At least one portion of his body is smart and I will let everyone else decide weather it's the brain or another section of his body. LOL but what he doesn't know is that I had a little boy aged four (4) that died a few weeks after he and I went camping and he would have been the same age as Dave if he had lived.
I am so sorry for your loss. My little boy is 34 now but I have a grandson that is 3. I cannot wait to take him camping and fishing. You picked a good son in Dave. I would have to say his smarts is his humor and his concern for others.
I use a felling axe, plum with cheek and a boys axe handle , and a Kelly Blue Axe, cheek with a boys axe handle ash ( the Kelly stays on the mantle ) I am more of an axe-man my self ...cool vid man, Thanks
When it comes to tool safety I always say If you don't use the mentality of "Safety first" you have to lucky every time where as the tool, only has to lucky once. Those are great tips for holding the axe and wood in place safely to split wood in the field.
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?
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.
At the time we lived in the Walmart parking lot and didn't have enough gas to keep warming up. I just thought maybe there was something else we could have done. We had to wait for the apartment we rented to be available and it was a nasty two weeks!
@@luvelion I am thinking 'wool blanket stashed in the trunk'. Or 2 cheap Walmart fleece blankets inside the emergency ones. Glad you made it through that situation. ATB.
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!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Both good ideas you mentioned. I think I may have seen that video you mentioned. The tomahawk is a dang good backpackers tool. Very light weight and effective. Thanks for watching
well couple whacks at lundin couple at wood I can hear his giggle now lol ya know if the two of you just did a video laughing it would go viral lol great tips lot of them I new but I don't use axes hatchets so on for that reason I think there unsafe that's why I use big knives iv had them bounce to but more control then the axe stay brother
LOL, Brother I could just envision a video of me n Cody switching back and forth scenes of laughs. Now that would be cool. I hear ya on the hatchets. Those of us who know how to use em know how dangerous they can be. Take care and thanks for watching Brother Tom.
Great video. Just setting up a fire pit ìn the yard, not much accessible wilderness here in Surrey UK. Am now inspired. I also have competing tasks on the house and am being motivated to give my time to them instead. Always make time to relax watching your videos.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it Mark and man youre gonna love that fire pit! Ive cooked a lot on my backyard pit and had hours of fun doing so. Thanks for watching
ax-a-dent indeed. like Dave said in prior video : the only thing to remember about axes safety is that they are very good at removing toes & fingers. I will never forget the axe accident I saw as a kid.
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.
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.
Your response to the paraffin query makes complete sense. That's why I asked. I knew I'd get a proper answer. Oh, and I'm certainly up for another episode of Really Big Monkey Grub...aka Chef David. :)
EXCELLENT piece(s) of advise, with humor added. How can you help yourself but to remember them and laugh to yourself. Thank you Sir, for your "kernels" of great advise, learned from solid experience in the woods. And, thank you Sir, for your hard work in producing this video. Oscar
Sound advice dave! Wonder how many folk, having watched this video, are now going to avoid having an accident with an axe? So, you did a good thing. Atb from big neilly ten toes in scotland lol.
i use an axe all the time, don't really camp where it makes a lot of sense to use a machete. i don't know why i didn't expect to learn much from this video. maybe because I'm an idiot. man, i love your videos, i always learn and always laugh! thank you brother!
Reallybigmonkey1 love your videos!! You're very informative and explain things well. I'm still waiting on you to do the long term shelters!!!!! Maybe you and Nick will have time this summer. Take care!
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.
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
Excellent tip's for using the axe's, splitting wood, and general safety! How every people do pound in tent stakes with the back of a axe, with out the sheath on! The sheath should always be used when the blade is facing the person! I will show my grandson you tip's. Thank you
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it all. I have actually seen some folks pound tent stakes and wedges with the side of their axe. I honestly cant say if that hurts one of not. Keep that grandson safe and Thanks for watching Ronald.
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
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
Re Batoning with an axe. Very true. I have bent axe heads at the eye using some old ones as wedges splitting tree stumps. Didnt take many hits at all to crush the eye
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?
Dave thanks for the tips. I really enjoy your videos. I have one small tip to add. You most likely don't run in to this where you like, but a stone used with water will break if it freezes. I know oil stones are a mess, but they don't break just because it is freezing.
Hi Dave ! Great video !! That axe and hatchet that belonged to your Grandfather are awesome family heirlooms. True treasures, thanks for sharing those with us. Thanks for the tips, once again you make want to head to the woods !!! Also liked the Cody "gotchas" !!! I know it takes time to produce these videos but I'm always looking forward to the next outing. I have a double bit axe heading that belonged to my dad. I think I'm going to put a handle on it !! Thanks again my friend !!!
Hello Ellis! I'm glad you liked it. Oh yes, true treasures and I'll make sure my son gets em later in life. Very cool you have your Dads. Re haft that thing and keep it forever! Thanks for watching
I'm BAAACK! It's your long, lost, so-called "cuz" from Cochran, GA! Don't know if you remember me or not 'cause it's been about 4 years since I logged into RU-vid under my screen name. I kinda disappeared suddenly back then, I know. Life was pretty harsh in one-felled blow back then and it's taken a while to get back to normal. But enough about that. I hope you are doing well. I sure was glad to see you are still making videos. I really enjoyed this one and, as always you taught me a whole lot. It was good to see you again, "Cuz". Keep on being you.
Hello Lisa! Of course I remember you! You have a pile of problems all hit you at once. Im glad all thats behind you. Funny things, since I last talked to you on Facebook years ago my neighbors moved back down to just below Warner Robbins because they hated North Georgia! LOL. Good hearing from ya again. Now start making some videos again and life will be back to normal
Hated North Georgia? I can't even imagine that concept. Who in the world would hate North Georgia and then who in the world would then choose down here over North Georgia? Lol. I am just baffled. I dream of living in North Georgia! I would have been happy to swap places with them. Lol. I am getting my nerve up to doing a video. On what, I would have no idea. We will see. Great to reconnect to you, buddy.
Another very informative video as usual Dave. never had to use an axe before, and only played a bit with hatchets. your insight and tips will come in handy, and now I'm thinking about the different types of pack axe I may select and their uses. Thanks for another insightful video.
Thanks Michael, I'm glad you liked it. Give an axe some thought and use. It is one useful piece of gear after you have spent some time with it. Thanks for watching
