*Oh, I don’t know. I’m a pretty smart guy. I knew you were exceptionally fast, so any trap we manufactured would have to be invisible. I knew your cells could repair themselves at extraordinary speeds, so you could withstand the damage this is doing to your body right now.* If that wasn’t a Flash reference, I have just embarrassed myself.
I'm country and a machinist as well so I know very well how to sharpen things. I prefer a double bit when chopping wood for the stove and that brings up a couple thoughts. I once swung down on a gnarled black oak stump with plenty of knots. The blade skipped off the edge of one knot and then another and buried itself in my left leg about 4 inches above the ankle. To achieve that, it passed through 2 pairs of 14oz cotton Levi jeans, two layers of leather in my boot, a cotton 'union suit' and two pair of thick linsy-woolsy socks and thunked against the bone. Luckily, I hadn't approached the stump with a full swing, looking to find a 'set'. So, grab the leg, pull out the axe and holler for the first aid kit. The cut was only an inch or so long. I smeared it with wild honey (unboiled) and wrapped it with gauze and then with a stretch wrap bandage with those cleats. I was up cutting wood the next day and the next, etc. After a week I checked and the skin was healed fine so I wrapped it again for another week. 40 years later the scar has faded but it never hurt, didn't become infected or anything. What I'm wondering is could you find a way to test my solution of wild honey against some other cures like sugar, sorghum and the like? I'm figgerin' probably not but thought I'd ask. Thanx. Oh, by the way, I took to wearing a piece of stove pipe inside that boot from then on, while splitting and chopping.
It's often better to injure yourself with a sharp axe than a dull one. The er surgeons will have a much easier time sewing it up if the tissue isnt 'mushed'. If, however, you can't get medical attention you're probably better off having a badly 'mushed' wound that bleeds slower than a nice cleanly severed artery. As with most questions, the answer is a classic "it depends".
@@robinb8588 No. I know a few people who work either in ambulances or at the er of a hospital and we've had a lenghty discussion about this not long ago.
Nifty video like usual. Anyway please do: Coffee Brewed in Hot Tub, Coffee Brewed in Dishwasher, Coffee Brewed in Washing Machine, Bowling with Fruit by the Foot the balls and pins made from that stuff, and Homemade Flamethrower using Pressure Washer.
The fact that you talked about not just sharpness, but blade geometry and the give of the target makes the sword nerd part of me *really* happy. I've seen a lot of people only talk about sharpness and completely miss how critically important the other two actually are.

The ballistic compound looked just like a wobbly jelly... However, the injury sustained through all those layers would be a badly mashed up bone, with unbroken skin.
Now I'm going to try imagining someone chopping wood in a full suit of armour. ...And my imagination is showing me the tin woodsman from The Wizard of Oz.
Yes very helpful for those who chop wood a lot and constantly chop off their leg Person: *chopping wood happily but then misses and hits their leg* Person: aw common not again! I just chopped my leg of 2 weeks ago! Ok someone call an ambulance though, I think I'm bleeding to death.
This episode was great and made me lol. My friend almost cut his leg off on a job and all I could think was "Just call Nick and he'll tell you it won't work." haha
My grandpa told me a story about how when he was younger; he would go camping with his friends a lot and one time while one of his friends was chopping wood, a chunk of the axe broke off and went flying into the friend's leg, causing him to have to go to the hospital and get stitches.
I wanted to compliment your experiment structure on this. Controls with no protection and with jeans worn (more or less) properly give us a great comparison line to the later tests. The only other test I could think of is if you had a proxy bone at the core of your ballistic gel, but I doubt it would have changed the results much.
I have actually had a axe deflect off a tree I was chopping and the edge hit my shin and I was wearing jeans and it didn’t even go through them and I keep my axes razor sharp
Full kudo to you Nate if i feel an axe strike deflecting or feeling wrong i dont usually follow through on the swing. I know it was done for testing wich is fair you need a standard swing for a fair test. On a side note as some one who has hit him self in the leg more than once and luckily one been bruised my trusty rain trousers are semingly axe proof with a realativly Sharp axe
The reason for the different results was probably the edge alignment. It was not easy to see on the video, but the angle that you hit with is really important for these things. Just a few degrees off, will make a huge difference in the cut.
Test out Leather next! Both Cloth and Leather are used for various types of Light Armor, neither are the most durable option but it would be fun to actually test Leathers durability against an axe or Machete.
What you made here is a type of medieval armor called Gambeson. Gambesons are usually made using 20-30 layers of linen or wool cloth. I don't think type of material makes a big difference, especially since your experiment result match the number of layers in typical gambeson.
That is called aketon, or gambeson, multilayer clothing used during medieval period,and protect better than you can imagine: sword chops(not slides though), axe chops, and even arrow hits. If you cannot/don't want reach Shad, Skullagrim or other people, then reach at least Cody, he also been involved.
No amount of jeans are protecting you legs from the giant axe head 'how ridiculous ' were dropping from that 150ft tower, they chopped a car in half with it in one video lol
Could you melt down the ballistics gel and re-mold it into something else? Or would it burn? Would it just not melt? Would something mess up in the molding process? Like... what?
please do more freeze drying videos! i'd like to see rasberries maybe? and maybe you guys can film all of them in the freeze dryer? i'd like to see how the skittles pop!
What else should we test against the axe??
Hi

Test Nate against an axe
Dehydrate a apple and rehydrate it with Orange juice and milk and stuff

This might be useful for the "falling in air people"
I'd say you would be more concerned about breaking bones at this point
Yea the cut from that axe would be minor compared to the broken bones
The store: He must really like jeans 😁
🤣🤣
Lol
@@sherryworkman7949 h
You say this as if people never buy a few pair of jeans at a time
Lol
Personally, I wear leather boots, not blue jeans, on my feet when chopping wood.
That is an Elvis song, Blue Jean Shoes, haha.
@@77Infidel correction it’s Blue suede shoes unless you were joking
Really? I think you’re doing it wrong
When I was 14 I hit my foot when I hit short of the stump and my boot luckily stopped it hurt like a son of a gun but stopped
No other clothes. Just leather boots
The guy wearing 30 pairs of jeans:
"HAHA, I CAN'T BE STOPPED"
He also would be waddling like those sumo wrestling suits and probably falling over himself quite quickly trying to walk.
The axe, intimidatingly: "Try me."
*sets the jeans on fire* a r e y o u s u r e a b o u t t h a t
You should test how many pairs of socks and then try sticky notes
That’s what I was thinking
"How many pair's do you need before i cant cut through it it"
Is this a threat?

You guys need to go to Demolition Ranch and collab with him there, would be fun!
I’m amazed you found uncut jeans. Whenever I go shopping for jeans, all I find are already shreaded ones or very ugly ones.
Watching that ballistics gel gives me a ridiculous amount of serotonin. It's just so jiggly!! Squish squish!! :D
just imagine whats going through there neighbors minds when they hear them through the fence😆
Probably just happy they're not triggering the fire department anymore.

Make a ballistics gel and bone hybrid (using like a pig bone) and see how many layers of jeans are needed.
Yes, and place it upright so there's some give. This is like chopping someone's leg that's already on the ground.
Try a horse's leg bone. A dead horse, of course. Freshly dead bone is springier than dried. Just another factor...
