    Interesting to see military vs civilian mindsets, I have noticed most folks who were in the military especially in the more specialized teams, they tend to recommend and carry smaller lighter knives such as the Benchmade adamas or SOG seal pup, also Tim stressed carry-ability when he ditched the Gerber Downrange.

      If you want to get super ambitious, flat grind (develop a flat on bit and pole don't need completely flat) the lefthand cheek, LH holding it pole facing you..if your right handed(do the right hand side if your a lefty)...then you have a hatchet you can carve and craft with efficiently.

    @FalconBushcraft 9 місяців тому +1

    If I'm gonna have a tomahawk it's gotta have a wooden handle that the head slides up. Easily replaced in the field, if you have to save space you can just Carry the head and make a handle on the fly. Cold steel, condor, and crkt make some great ones pretty cheap. Tomahawks are great for smaller wood, making basic shelters and quick cooking fires.

  • @robertstockdill8422
    @robertstockdill8422 9 місяців тому

    The drop point on the hawk helps with a smoother draw. Also the rounded blade is more for slashing. It's definitely a Fighting hawk

    To be honest, depending of your survival situation i wouldn't take any of these or other hatchets. They are loud when you cut anything, possibly giving away your position. A small folding saw is better.

    Cool video but the short tomahawk your going to hit your hand on shit while your using it cause there’s no space between your grip and the blade. Also the narrow back.. ehhh it’s like trying to drive a nail in with a hammer that has 1/8” head > aka nightmare. I would sacrifice some weight or comfort of carry for some resolve in the issues I mentioned. But that’s just me 🤷🏼‍♂️ idk shit about axes. Awesome video tho✅

Would you ever consider using your resources to follow a group of these military age men to see where they go in this country.....I ask you because of your training, and because if they are up to no good, you and your people would be able to fight back......I am surprised that no one has followed these guys from the border to their destinations.....
