I live in humid NC and often find that the ambient moisture in the air is enough to put out a struggling fire, much less start one in the first place. I have better results when I can shelter the starting flame to create a micro-dry airspace and slowly build it out! (Lots of tinder!) BTW - I love my SCAXE2! I just wish the handle's leading edge was rounded near the blade because it can hit when splitting larger logs.

Curious about what you went through in this vid I grabbed a branch and processed it with my Jeff White Mini Nessmuk. Dead a while it is very hard for a softwood. Does not make curls as well as many other woods. It does not scrape well at all and scrapings are my go to with a ferro. I have long known that Tulip Poplar is better for embers and coals (I like using curls of it as a natural char with flint and steel) than flame but this was ridiculous. I didn't last near as long as you before I reached for some trusty fatwood. Lesson learned: I'll stick to birch, box elder, pine, etc when I want a One Stick Fire with a ferro from now on. ;-)

@SurvivalOnPurpose9 жыл бұрын
I know it may seem like that, especially since I did a little Schrade "marathon" on Thanksgiving to sort of emulate what a lot of TV channels do. But, as I said in my most recent channel update, I created the Schrade Saturday concept so my "regular" Friday videos can be about other various subjects. I also mentioned I'm going to make a serious effort to increase the percentage of skill type videos and to also try and combine some product reviews with practical skills in the review videos. Having said that, I also explained why I am a big supporter of Schrade and why I intend to continue the Schrade Saturday videos. And, at least so far, the Schrade videos seem to generate a respectable amount of views. Anyway, I hope you stay tuned and continue to watch the videos that interest you. If Schrade videos don't float your boat I understand. I appreciate your feedback and your support.

If I were you, I would find a standing dead tree and take from the trunk an area at least two feet from the ground. Better even higher. In this case, the wood will be dry. And you also need to make sure that the core of the barrel is taken for ignition, it is also the driest. Thank you for the video, I wish you success.

Try some hands full of pine needles next time to augment your kindling. They should be viable to kickstart your fire since they are full of oils.

kaizoebara Yeah, but they were pretty damp at the time.

The sheath on my Wetterling axe slips away like that too. Thinking on making my own. (Somehow)

Survival On Purpose I need to learn some leatherworks first. I do have some design idea's though. :)

Ahhhh, success! Thanks for the demo and good to see you were prepared. The axe looked decent. What's your favorite axe so far, for the ways you use it (excluding throwing it lol)? :) - Chris

inspireAson Ohhhhh! I have such a hard time with "favorite" questions. I usually have several "favorites". I really like my Wetterling's Hunter's Axe just because it's old school cool, but I have to say for shear versatility this one is hard to beat. Can they both be favorites?
@inspireAson9 жыл бұрын
I'll allow two favorites. :) I've been eying the Wetterling's. I honestly don't have a big need for an axe, but who couldn't find a need right?

Great vid as usual. I got the SCAXE9 for Christmas. I was honestly surprised at how solid this thing is. Truth be told I wanted the SCAXE2L. I watched the vid on the 9 but which one do you think is best? I like the longer handle and the saw is pretty cool extra but im concerned it will come loose after use. and I also noticed the edge peaking out on the sheath too and found if you pull the strap real tight it keeps it all in place. Thanks and keepem coming.

+Richard Lambert . Well after watching some other vids my concerns seem accurate so im gonna get the 2l.

+Richard Lambert I know Schrade has done some work on their saw blades but I don't know if the SCAXE9 was tweaked, That was my biggest issue with it. You can't go wrong with the SCAXE2L

I think if they just forgot about the saw they would have a great tool.

Hi. I watch at least 6,7 videos of it but they are all 4year plus. On amazon Jan 2020 people are posting this axe broken with temperature -0 Celsius. I taught they fixed that issue.. do you still recommand that axe.

I can’t really comment on what they are like now. I just don’t know since the company was sold to BTI

Great video! Just goes to show **it happens! You prevailed! Back to the axe, what was Schrade thinking about with the hole in the head? I watched a couple other videos and about the axe and there was no mention about it.
@SurvivalOnPurpose9 жыл бұрын
I really have no idea. I have to assume there's a reason. It doesn't seem to hurt anything.
@firehorse18939 жыл бұрын
Ok Thanks, I just thought that there was something along with the specs that mentioned it. I'll check out Schrade

U could have turned a round a grabbed a handful of crap behind you would have helped with the fire and I saw a little bit of grass on ur right. Just my opinion. Great vid thanks for sharing and I'll be sure to sub
