I really like my council tool camp carver axe. Splits good, and I can choke up on the handle for carving. Hardened hammer poll for driving nails/stakes. Awesome video!

Excellent Paul! When I'm teaching scouts to use ANY edged tool, especially hatchets and axes, safety is first and a priority, because I have seen the injuries that knives, saws and axes can produce.

Thanks for great video. Safety first always! I am going to be receiving my beavercraft camp axe shortly.

1: Safety!!! Can’t ever stress it enough. I was in my early 20’s, in a power outage, trying to split some kindling in the dark with my buddy’s dull as heck hachet. Got annoyed enough to try and sharpen it in the dark, succeeded wonderfully. and laid open my thumb to the bone. Buddy and BF thought it was hilarious, until I started choking on my tongue after I fainted. Thankfully landlord across the highway was a medic. Most embarrassing axe injury ever! 😂 I wasn’t even using it…

Well done, Thanks.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on Hatchets vs Tomahawks vs Knife and pack saw for pack/camp use and maybe demonstrate repair and manufacture of a handle.

Good stuff my guy!

Good video Paul, thanks for sharing, God bless !

Thanks!

new axe users will want to know how to sharpen or hone the edge. I finally got myself a pack axe but have not yet had the oportunity to practice with it

I've got the smaller camp Axe, it fits well in my get home bag. The one thing I'm looking for is a large take down axe I don't need a diamond sharpener for. As the steel gets better, the ability to sharpen outdoors becomes harder.

Neat little axe, but I'm thinking I might grab one the hardcore hammer hatchet corporals corner swears by it as his new go to hatchet.

How about splitting fire wood with a camp axe at base camp and for the fireplace at home with just a concrete yard? Thanks Paul

I keep my axe on my side, so I can pull it quickly.
