Why we Hike. 2021 Recap My Northern Stories
Enjoying your channel from Nicaragua. Keep strong, brother.
Thank you very much 🙌
My dog would get crazy happy when he saw his backpack getting filled. He knew we’d be heading out for a while. We spent almost four months in 2005 in the northern Rockies traveling from one range to the next, spending a week or so on a trail, and then moving to the next range. It was a bucket-list trip.
Wow what a tripp 🙌
My dog also keeps the skunks and bears from disturbing my sleep. 🐾
Good thing that we don't have skunks here in Sweden. And our bears keep away from people 😄
I enjoyed this video very much. I would prefer no music but that’s just me. I always have a hatchet or tomahawk when I’m in the wilds. Can’t count the number of times I had to clear the trail from a tree that blew down or fell from too much ice build up over winter. I mostly carry a traditional tomahawk, but sometimes carry a SOG Voodoo. It’s a tactical tomahawk but it is also a great hatchet. My favorite is one I made by putting the head of a SOG Voodoo Mini in the longer handle of a SOG Tactical. I’ve been going into the wilderness for over 60 years, but don’t get out as much as I would like these days. I like to live vicariously through videos such as yours. Thank you for this one. New subscriber here ✔️
The music ended up a bit to loud. Sorry for that. Will change the audio geer in the future. How is a tomahawk to use, compared to an hatchet?
@@MyNorthernStories Unless I’m chopping and splitting firewood, I prefer a tomahawk over a hatchet. Although the SOG Voodoo Tomahawk is pretty close to a hatchet as you can get. I like it very much.
I mainly use Fiskars x7 or n7 and this gränsfors outdoor axe, and fulltang beltknife like casström Lars fält. I have though that i would buy small forest axe also later this fall. Nice video!
Love the small forest axe and Lars Fält knife! That is a good combo 😌 thank you
Yes à axes the size you want my best it is 24 inches the head I cut to be like a Hudson Bay ax don’t need to have a price whit a name my I pay $1 it is a very good quality I bought the head because it had a broken corner so I was knowing the steel was a bit to much temper For minus 40 but summer and fall it is perfect in the north I also Cary a fix blade knife 4 inches blade stainless from 1952 the year I born living north center BC Canada I do not have any big knife better a small knife and a very small belt ax that I used to skin a moose
Good choices 🙌
At the same size, but significantly less weight (and cost), you can take a saw with you, which is way safer to use as an impact tool like a hatchet. With a knife and some wedges you can do everything a hatchet can do for you and cutting down a small tree is easier and faster with a saw. To me, a hatchet is NOT a must-have. You are right, that a long handle with a small head is beneficial, due to the laws of physics, speed is more important than mass (weight). When starting a fire, I use to put down a layer of sticks with some space between them and place my tinder and kindling on top to enhance the draft of oxygen. NEVER use the cutting edge to strike a ferrorod, take a file and put a crisp 90° on the spine of your knife or the top edge of your hatchet (makes great wood-shavings as well). Don't follow the promotions of many 'bushcraft experts', throw away the ferrorod and buy a couple of BIC-lighters - they have a ferrorod as well ('flint'), together with a built-in striker (sparking wheel) AND some fuel to give you instant flame! Don't need tinder then.
I use a saw alot to, but it is more fun with an axe. It all depends on what you enjoy to use. My axe from Gränsfors has 20 years warranty, and my Laplander saw han none.
As I said in the movie, only use a ferrorod in your axe i an emergency
Size matters
Yes
hi i always can two knives everday but when im out in the bush i take my gransfors small forest axe and a nordic edge carving hatchet. covers all bases. thanks
Good combo 🙌
Tack för fina videon. Varför fanns det inga andra människor runt?
Tack så mycket! Det var väldigt lugnt faktiskt. Inte många där, och sen har jag redigerat dort de flesta.
Tack. Hur lång tid tog det för er att kommer fram Slåttdalsskrevan från väst entré? Finns det ormar på vägen dit?
I picked one up last week, second hand, never used and half price. Im so pleased with it and its unbelievably sharp
Congratulations to your good deal 🙌
I'm glad I found your channel. Great tips and examples. The only issue I have with my dog is the special food she eats. It needs to be frozen until use...
Thank you very much 🙌 I hope you fint a way. I have seen freeze dried meat for dogs.
Another beautiful and calming video. You have gained a subscriber! I'm still hesitating between this axe and the Wildlife hatchet... the price is the same here. The head of the outdoor axe seems more for splitting and the wildlife more for chopping...
Thank you for your kind words and your subscribe. I am planing to make a video to compare them both. Maybe I should hurry 😌
@MyNorthernStories no problem and wel deserved. I would definitely watch that.
I like a small axe (Gransforce Bruks Wildlife Hatchet), a small knife (Mora Bushcraft Black), Silky Big Boy 2000 folding saw. With this combination I feel like I can do almost anything I need. I do always carry a Leatherman Surge as well. Sometimes depending on were I go, I will take my Cold Steel Special Forces Shovel instead of the hatchet.
That is a very good combo of tools! 🙌
You use an before a word that starts with a vowel. "An small" makes you sound illiterate.
Thanks
I will probably sound like I bring too much but I carry a small hatchet the same size and length as you plus a fixed blade and a collapsible saw that’s my go to tools for processing wood of any size
I bring that to some times. It's a good combo 🙌
" What are the benefits of a small axe"
Thanks
Great video. Demo is worth a thousand words. I use my grandfathet's ancient hatchet. Thankyou.
Thank you 🙌 Awesome to have a connection to your gear like that
A nice and calming video about a great axe
Thank you very much for watching 🙌
Thank you very much for watching 🙌
Great job mate love the work! I’m from Australia and I have a Gransfors small hatchet that works well. I use and prefer a Khukuri as a field knife. I back it with a belt knife and a SAK . The large huntsman. Keep the videos coming
Thank you very much 🙌 Do you use bigger knife in Australia?
I had a chocolate lab as a teenager Im a upland bird hunter and this lab would point like a pointer 😂 r.i.p bree
That is a very smart dog! 🙌
This is EXCELLENT! just a man & his dog, relaxing out in nature. Wonderful!!!
Thank you! And thanks for watching 🙌
I have a Gransfors-Bruks small forest axe, and while I like it, I am thinking to also get something smaller like the one you have. Great video, I have subscribed. Watching from Toronto, Canada!
I have the small forest axe to, that is my favorite. But big and heavy to hike with. Thanks for watching and subscribeing 🙌
My wife’s girl friend gave here a rusty two pound head. I reshaped and sharpened the head and rehung it on a 19” handle. It’s very nice. But doesn’t have a name.
That is awesome! 🙌
How bout bob?
@@mariaconcepcionrodriguezhe2850 thats it. Bob the axe! He said, "do you mind, please hand me Bob".
Smoothing it!
Thank you
small axe with a good at carving knife is a great combo... in case you need a new handle :)
It's a very good tip 🙌
Food tastes better cooked over a fire!
It does 🙌
That’s a great location! I wish I could take my dog. He’s too rambunctious for camping unfortunately…. I love my DD! I kind of have an obsession with setting up Adirondack style.
I have to Google Adirondack style!
I like your video. If I'm camping I'll take an axe. If I'm hunting or packing light I bring a large knife that can handle splitting tinder and chopping.
Thank you very much 🙌 That is good choices
I appreciate how you left that pause in starting at 9:36. This video is very calm and I like that.
Thank you very much! I forgot to edit that away 😆🙌
@@MyNorthernStories No worries! I think it adds a bit of personality to this! It's like you are being very honest in the video, showing how sometimes, you are just lacking the words for a second 😀
I usually bring my Fiskars x10 axe or a Bahco Laplander saw, my Mora Garberg and a Gerber multitool. I like having options.
That is some awesome tools!
Thank you for the review. I’ll have to buy one.
Thank you for watching 🙌 I think they made some changes on it now, like bigger side pockets. But have a look at a new review to, so you know what you will get 🙂
Very nice video
Thank you very much 🙌
a 1 inch auger drill bit makes piles and piles of shaving tinder in under 30 seconds. just engrave a drill bit socket hole into your axe, or get one with an eye ring opening that you can put any stick you find in the woods through.
That is a very good tip 🙌
Great video, thank you. What backpack do you use in the video?
Thank you! And thanks for watching 🙌 It's L.L Bean Continental Backpack, I have an little movie about this pack if you are interested 🙂
I never saw your channel before today. Great job! You got a 👍 and a new subscriber. Keep em coming!
Thank you very much 🙌
I just got an Esee Gibson axe. It’s only 10 inches tall. Very small! But it actually has taught me that smaller is very beneficial. I can throw it in my pack and go. It’s actually safer than a knife in some cases. Kind of teaches you practical applications and potential for your tools.
That is a very good comment! Thank you 🙌
Smoothing it… excellent video!
Thank you very very much 🙌
Thank you very very much 🙌
Thanks for sharing David. I'll be coming to Sweden again myself in a few weeks.
Thank you very much for watching 🙌 Then I hope that you have a nice trip 😄
Superfin video. Tack!
Tusen tack 🙌
You doing great man!
Thank you very much 🙌
So peaceful!❤
Thank you 🙌
I use a 570g 34cm Spear & Jackson (local brand, not expensive) hatchet , Mora Companion, Victorinox Tourist. The video is a strong start. Axe handle length, axe weight? Specs help esp VS my local hardwood in Australia. GFB SFA isn’t that useful locally and it’s expensive i.e. AUD 290. Music while making coffee is OK. Skip the music when you speak.
Thank you for your comment. There is some specs in the video.
A septuagenarian here…I carry the Gränsfors Outdoor Axe plus one of my 4 inch (100-102mm) fixed blade woodsman’s belt knives and a Victorianox Ranger 79 M as my cutting tool selection in my day hiking / overnight bag, belt and pocket. I’ve never been a fan of beating a good knife through a log to make kindling, that’s what a small hatchet is for. That’s how I roll… In my hunting kit, I swap out the Outdoor Axe for the Gränsfors Small Hatchet…so small, it fits in a pocket. Very handy and compact. I also carry a Victorianox Ranger 57 with the gut hook instead of the Ranger 79 M. There is no such thing as carrying too many blades…just saying.
That is some good tools
Very good video, nice and calming to watch! 🙂
Thank you very much! And thanks for watching 🙌
Nice video! Why the shitty music so loud?
Thank you! When I edited the video I did not find the shitty music loud.
Oh stop !!! Be nice !! Enjoy the video 📹
i appreciate you showing the fire starting in its entirety. lots of youtubers will shorten it to the throw of sparks that gets it going and not the initial build up to it. showing that fire making isn’t always instant. it takes time and fiddling with as you’re making one. you’ve got my sub!
I forget to add a text explaining, but the wood was a tiny bit wet, so I hade to use a fire starter. I dont mind sowing what it can be for real. And if someone is new to this, dosent feel bad for not geting it going strait away. Thank you very much for watching and for your sub! 🙌
what steel is that axe does it have to be high hrc for it to be quality or is there sweet spot for axes like 57- 58?
I don't know actually, i tried to fint it on their website but i did not. Thank you for watching 🙌
A good axe won't be that hard
Bra video och bra trick med yxan 👍
Tusen tack 🙌
Jag brukar kika på denna videon ibland, den är så himla fin. Dalarnas landsbyggd är det bästa jag vet. Tack för denna härliga video David.
Tack så jättemycket! 🙌
