Some great common sense wisdom right there. Work smarter not harder and also safer too!
great rundown of basic axe use and safety. production quality amazing as well music and video very beautiful
Thanks for your comments folks
Great stuff
IMHO all those Swedish type axes are kept way too sharp and are way to short to use as a splitting tool for any real amount of wood. They're more a glorified hatchet. Great vid , well shot.
wow great cinematography. . and your teaching skill is delivered very professionally. . subscribe.. best new channel found in along time for me.. thank you
Bushradical I agree with you. I'm in the USA, and I own two Wetterlings. I'm ashamed I own them because they never go into the field. Way too many metrosexuals own these axes and have driven them to ridiculous prices.
I use real axes, not these metrosexual toys. I own 13 axes, and use them all the time on my farm, but the Wetterlings never go out because they are too expensive.
If I see someone with a Gransfors Bruks, I immediately think Poseur and metrosexual from the city.
Thank you John. Just bought an axe and I'm trying to learn about the safety aspects & techniques for splitting logs. This helped a lot.
Good stuff cutting some firewood and didnt think all this through. But after seeing this video I see that you are an expert. Really helpful.
Excellent and sorely needed video!
