One does not often see something new or different in bushcraft videos but your holding the log to be split with another log was a new one on me! You just made my day!
I love these Council 14" hatchets. I bought a bunch of them for gifts (Christmas and birthdays) this winter. I'm finishing them similar to yours and making leather furnishings for them. Lots of fun. Very high quality tool for little $.
Got the 24 inch handle model. I was looking at the flying fox model or a prandi one but I'll pick this one up. Thanks your video was entertaining and informative. Looking forward to browsing your channel.
I need to get to collecting some more fatwood to keep in my trucks. About froze my butt off fishing a few weeks ago when everything was soggy wet and I had taken the fire kit out of that vehicle for the summer.
Ha ha, I hear that! I had to wade out into a creek after some ducks last week. I was wishing I had a pile of dry wood for a quick fire in the cab with my change of clothes. I think I might make a small fire kit with wood to the truck box!
@@Scablands_Scavenger That time of year; fire kit, dry clothes, tire chains, blanket, pot for melting snow, tow strap/chain and a shovel in both trucks. Better to have and not need than need and not have.
Beautiful scenery.. I like nature, the green being covered with snow. Do you stay overnight/sleep in the woods sometimes? Like Dave Pearson (Reallybigmonkey1) does. Merry Christmas ! 🙌
Yes it is very beautiful this time of year, when the grass is still green and snow is fresh! I sleep/camp out as often as possible. Winter is my favorite, there are no bugs or snakes out ha ha. Merry Christmas to you as well, and a happy new year!
@@Scablands_Scavenger Haha, good one on the bugs and snakes. I agree. Those mosquitoes... zzzzz zzzz zzzz arghh Happy new year and may things go smooth for you.. 👍
Great video, I have a question. Did you notice a gouge on the side of your edge about a 1/8"-1/4" long? Just curious because mine did and just wondering if yours did too. Thanks, love your vids.
Sort of ha ha, right after I posted the question on that video a family member gifted me a large pack of gloves. They are decent, Wells Lamont I believe.
@@Scablands_ScavengerI understand, I have several of your kydex sheaths for my Fiskars axes and hatchets, no other kydex sheaths even come close to the ones you made.
What would you want to see? I have thought of this, but always talk myself out of it because there are so many different ways to approach the topic; light hawk vs heavier hatchet, equal weight hawk vs hatchet, handle length differences on and on. I have seen quite a few videos on this topic, some better than others. I see people compare the trail hawk to say a small axe weighing twice the weight and not expand on the benefits of the hawk at all, only chopping.
@@Scablands_Scavenger I think similar weight (including the handle) would be fair. Maybe even couple different weight classes for different videos . And as many different tasks as possible. For example I have noticed you split only sawed off peaces of wood , but what if you needed to build a shelter and chop/split wood for fire with only having one tool.
Right now I only do requests for the axes/tomahawk sheaths that I have on hand that do not require mailing in. Mainly the Cold Steel hawks and the Fiskars X series axes, a few others. I am just now starting to work into knives but it will be quite a while before I get my skillset up to where I want to start taking orders.
@@WednesdaysWastWendigo Right now I am set up to sell on Ebay, there is a link to my seller page in the description box of this video (spam filter will sometimes block comments with links). You can use the "contact seller" tab on any item.
@@Scablands_Scavenger I ask because I’m looking for one for my new 2# 18” CTHBA. Think you can make one? Im not a fan of kydex nut I really like the blaze orange!
@@Otis010707 Unfortunately not something I would be able to do. I purchased 2 of the "new" 2lb hudsons to test when I bought this one. What I found is a big size difference between each one, forming one on mine will probably not fit on yours. Worse though is the finish on these, it is too rough for kydex, it grinds away at it like a file. I had to round over the edges and sand the cheeks down where the deep finish sanding marks are so it will not eat away at the sheath. Basically have to modify and form on each axe.
Thank you for watching! More information can be found in the description, my seller page, affiliates and other media pages.

Agreed, these make great gifts, and are fun projects! I have the 18" 2lb as well and am hoping to take it on a camp out real soon!
Rosehip's are a great source of vitamin c.
Another great video!
I like them a lot, especially the bigger ones when they are fresh are a real treat !

Awesome Video 👍👌👍
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Finding fat wood or resins when you’re out in the field is always a plus. I forgot to ask, do you have any sheaths for the cold steel frontier hawk?
Oh yeah, free fire starter is as fun to find as it is to use! I do not have any CS frontier sheaths made but I can always add one to the list.
Beautiful scenery.. I like nature, the green being covered with snow.

how is it going?. Thank you,nice !see you on my side~ guy,👋
Sweet mask.

Not really a gouge but it was a bit rough. I ended up sanding and smoothing the blade out on mine out so it would work with kydex.
👍 Did you ever find a pair of gloves you like?
Sort of ha ha, right after I posted the question on that video a family member gifted me a large pack of gloves. They are decent, Wells Lamont I believe.

Hi Derrick, are you going to be selling the kydex sheaths for these hatchets? Thanks!
sorry, I am not making kydex anymore, it was costing me too much money and time.
@@Scablands_ScavengerI understand, I have several of your kydex sheaths for my Fiskars axes and hatchets, no other kydex sheaths even come close to the ones you made.
A hatchet vs a tomahawk video would be nice.
