    Try a product like Wilson tennis racket wrap on the Fiskars. It works slick
    on my machete handles!

    Like your channel & your vids, been subscribed almost a year. One question
    here though, much of the wood came off the ground and seemed rotted and/or
    wet…this seems opposed to the edict that wood must be standing/leaning,
    dead and dry.(???)

  • Jorden McDougall

    your saw is binding because the way you prop it up..

    I’d love to reply to some of these comments but due to the ‘awesome’
    changes on youtube I can’t do that.

    afternoon processing firewood in preparation of an upcoming overnight
    adventure. Sawing and chopping…

    I just came across your channel and must say I love the entire thing! From
    the military surplus to the more expensive stuff, the gear talk is awesome.
    You also take great care to capture quality video.
    I started off as a youngster using military surplus gear for my hiking and
    camping, and its hard to beat for longevity. Not always the best at it, but
    it gets the job done for a heck of a price.
    Wish I still had the knees and hips to be able to hike and camp like you
    do, so until they heal I will live vicarisouly through your videos. Thanks
    for the great stuff!

    I have a Fiskars felling axe, which tbh, is a little too long for prepping
    wood, that X15 looks more manageable. Thing is, I also have a hatchet,and
    my other half will think I’m prepping for a Zombie Apocalypse if I go buy
    another axe, so I might just have to put up with what I have 🙂 On
    slippery grips, I’ve had some success recycling old bicycle inner tubes,
    not sure you could stretch once over your axe handle though, might be a bit
    of a fight, but for larger items I split them, and use double sided tape,
    and apply rubberised patches. I’ve rubberised my torches, and my camera
    that way. Anyway, thanks for the vid, it’s got me in the mood for woodland
    adventures, and as luck would have it, my other half and our four dogs are
    off to spend a long weekend in a log cabin in the woods, in the North
    Yorkshire Moors National Park, so I’ll see you on the flipside too!

    Yay

  • ijdaddy

    Hahaha! You just ate a womans’ trail bar! Seriously what a gimmick.

  • Lazar Jojic

    Very nice job. I’m glad your channel is getting bigger. What about visiting
    some locations outside of USA? Do you think about it? I have some very cool
    spots that I go to. Greetings from Serbia!!!

  • Bobby Dickey

    yes keep control of your channel, it is most excellent the way you are
    doing it!thanks for the great videos

  • Beaker Meep

    I wonder if baseball bat tape or even several long cut ranger bands would
    work for your Axe handle. Good video man! 

  • Bonnie Cornish

    Great video. Lots of tips. Spin saw will be on my xmas list

  • Randy Winbush
