10 Bushcraft Axe Skills in 10 Minutes

Here are 10 bushcraft axe skills in 10 minutes (roughly) The bushcraft axe is an important tool for wilderness survival and bushcraft in the woods. You can do many bushcraft camp tasks with the axe, not just felling trees, but a number of different ways of chopping firewood, and even splitting giant logs that would normally be far too big for small axes and hatchets! Tim: biggest problem i've seen most people have with axes and hatchets, is they underestimate just HOW sharp they should be. The old boyscout test: can you make a wood shaving with it (like when paring down the point of a diy tent/tarp stake, or make feather sticks like you demonstrated) if it won't, it's not sharp enough.

Great stuff Mike, I see so many folk pounding knives into over sized pieces of timber when a small forest axe would make the job so much easier and save the knife edge other duties, nothing against battening sensible sized pieces with a knife however, but the axe as you have demonstrated well has so many uses.

Ah, it's smart that you use another wood to hold down the wood you are chopping. I've always done it with my hand. That's why I have two shortened fingers. (and to those who are wondering, nope, I'm not in a Yakuza, and was never part of them)

My argument with pounding things with the pole end of an ax or hatchet is that when I used to frame houses I never accidentally hit myself in the forehead with the claw end of the hammer. Argument solved you're doing correct

This is why I don t understand physics! Thought newtons 3rd law of motion meant forces on impact were equal. Can you ask Prof Cox on to help me out here!

Me personally, in your splitting example, I would be kneeling instead of standing. Kneeling gets you closer to the material you are splitting!

Some whetstones are designed to use water or spit, and others are designed to use oil. NEVER spit or use water on an oil stone or vicveds
