I always said when watching those silly "naked and afraid" survival shows that I'd bring my SAK with me… you are allowed one item… my SAK is definitely what I would chose! Those people who brought a fire starter or a net, I laughed at…. With a SAK, you got everything you need…!

A lot of disasters befall experienced people who get complacent and fail to prepare for anything other than what they planned for occurring. Proper planning is a balancing act between being prepared and being overburdened. A lot of people stop carrying too much stuff, e.g. a medical kit, because they haven't had to use it much and get caught up in ultralight mentality and overconfidence in their ability. I haven't had to use my seatbelt in a while but I always wear it. The ol "everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face" addage applies to the outdoors.

Since I've seen so many dudes breaking theyre knives batoning wood, thinking that a thicker knife shall stand the vibrations of the wood or stone hammering, and with a lack of knowledge that some metals do not stand the vibrations between the tuked blade in the log and the hand grip by haveing to tight, and so it gets broken in the weakest point... That this videi tip it's GEAT... Thanks Immler

I haven't tried this yet but have you considered starting your split with the saw. Just cut a notch in the wood and use the wedge to split it. I'll have to try it myself now but if it does work it could be a much better option than trying to baton with a slip joint.

@danmorgan3685 2 жыл бұрын

I tried it and it didn't work. Their was no crack in the wood for the wedge to "chase". I'll try again but it's not too promising.

@batswithsass3754 2 жыл бұрын

I've used it for 6 in logs and it works fine for me, you just have to make the wedge very thick at the top and taper very fast at the bottom. If you do a traditional wedge thats fairly slender the whole way it won't split that well.

You have probably heard this already but just in case as a tip! At 1:11 you hammer the wedge in so that it ia pushing the wood fibres of the mallet head apart, wanting to split the head. By placing the wedge so that it is 90 degrees offset from the grain direction of the mallet head, it is much stronger!
