the tomahawks head was often removed to use a tool for finer tasks, that's why they commonly don't have a wedge keeping the head on. It was like a knife-hatchet, it's not great at either tasks, but has more control when compared to a hatchet.
Knife, shovel, hatchet. Good to go
I really should have included a shovel/e-tool! I’m kicking myself!
I appreciate that you are honest about the tools & equipment you use. not everyone needs the most expensive tools, as long as you know how to use them properly. from my experience I have "devolved" my equipment to more basic tools over time as I've gained knowledge.
Thanks for watching!
My machete is my go to camp tool . I can dig pop holes . Fire poker . And chopping . And a weapon.
Always spitting great information Gordon!! I had my Swiss fold on my finger canoeing the Colorado River in Boyscouts. It only takes one time to learn unfortunately. Keep up the good work Gordon
I always find your videos useful and entertaining. Thank you!
Thanks so much!!
Tops Knives El Chete. Insert “mic drop” here.
As always you have entertained and explained perfectly!! I always enjoy your videos and still think you are nice enough to reply to all of my comments!! Thank you sir!!
Mission accomplished! I really do appreciate you being here and commenting, it means a lot!
I differ on the tomahawks being less useful than a hatchet. I have used both and honestly I have felled a tree with a tomahawk before. Granted, it wasn’t the most fun I’ve ever had, but it’s more than doable
In the Southern Swamps a machete or kukri is the tool of choice. Currently, my Cold Steel kukri is my go-to. Works as a clearing machete as well as a light hatchet. That and a folding saw takes care of wood needs.
Folder, SAK/multitool, fixed blade, machete, hatchet, folding saw, and a two-handed axe. The rough continuum of need, from EDC to winter survival. For me it's Ti Hogue Deka, Victorinox Spirit MX, Bark River Ext-1, Condor Amalgam, Husqvarna 19" hatchet, and a Bahco Laplander
Some fine tools indeed!
Arcturus Heavy Duty Survival Blanket as a tarp, eh? Not too heavy?
It’s not too bad for short distance hikes. I like it as a wind break for sure.
Great vid! Very informative! Q: Where do Lightsabers fit in?
😂
I need someone recently this year bought me a gerber Bushcraft hatchet and personally I am absolutely loving it. Anytime I need to split some firewood I use that on the smaller pieces and it's just an all around really good hatchet in my opinion. The only issue I've had with it is the little cap on the base of the handle came loose after using it for a while but I was able to go that back on with some gorilla glue no problem. I really want to look at getting myself a gerber Bushcraft acts when I get the chance.
I hope you get a chance to try it out, it’s been very good for me! Thanks for watching.
@@grimgranite Don't mention it.

Thanks for being here, Jörg!
@@grimgranite Thank you very mutch... have a nice Start of the week.... see you…. Greetings Jörg
Best knife under 150 euro is Joker Nomad 6.5 its soo good
I like your video
What black fixed blade is that?
The full tang knife.
Is this a living tree 🌲 where you stick this things in ????
It was quite dead and rotten. 👍🏻 You can tell from the ease at which the tools come out of the tree… makes me look so strong! 😂💪🏼
Excellent advice!
Glad it was helpful!
Tomahawk not as good as a hatchet? Sir, let me introduce you the the Cold Steel line of tomahawks...
Fully agree, I have several models. The Hudson Bay or Trailhawk are my current go-to's , depending on where I'm going. Recommends a machete and hatchet but not a tomahawk?
I’ve only ever owned these Black Hawk hawks , so my experience may be limited. 😅
Folding knife and a machete .
Will do 90 % of all tasks .the last 10 % is saw work
Looks like the knife that broke had a full tang
I believe that clip indeed showed a knife with a full tang, yes. I put that in there to show what can happen when a knife is poorly made. Thanks for watching!
I usually hate thumbnails, but that's a good one...
You might need to lay off the caffeine a little though 🤯
As kniv means knife, most people just say "Mora"
good soup.
You may as well use my name when you say "purists" because i know you're talking to me.😂 I'm surprised you mentioned batoning a knife but not banoning an axe. It's safer than swinging an axe especially for younger people or beginners. Excuse me, i have to go and apply some boiled linseed oil to the handles of my tools and walnut oil to a kuksa. I'm just past the "once a day for a week" stage 😂
Haha! I knew I would draw you out to the comments section with that remark! 🤓
A knife and a folding saw will get you through just about any environment.
Very true!
Grew up around Tradesmen and outdoors people so I sort of forget there are people who didn't grow up with this kind of knowledge. I enjoyed that you approached the items of gear as tools, people can get a little fetishistic on the subject of sharp pointy things. Totally agree on your opinions of Mora's. They are well made enough to do a good job, you can learn to sharpen with good steel but you can make your mistakes without breaking the bank if you need to replace. Might I suggest Opinels as a good starter folder? Easy to use, even for smaller/weaker hands and has some similar qualities to a Mora, good steel, inexpensive and so on.
Thanks! I really want to make it easier for people to get into the hobby. I appreciate your comments, as always!
I know how it feels to hit your leg with a hatchet
Ouch! No good!!

Tagging "first" on UA-cam videos is useless apart from to tell us those people are definitely last in everything else in life.
