“Pulls out chainsaw”
😂
Or any normal wood axe 😂 I've neve even seen one so small, and I never hope to use one
@@joel.ha.you were asking for it... THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID🐬🐬🐬
Yea but what if you’re in a situation you don’t have power tool you should alway know how to do things with your hands and simple hand tools
I would love to hear about using a chainsaw to but along grain…
23 hours later: "and just like that."
@user-vc1vt5ot1eIt’s just an exercise you mook
"and just like that... the wedges I made have split the log, not the axe"
I was thinking something along them lines maybe like 8 or 10 hours.
Ha ha ha ha.
Ha ha ha ha ha😂😅
Lol...my thought exactly.
@user-vc1vt5ot1eif u dont have a big one tho
Best advert I've ever seen for taking a bigger axe
Right?
If it’s wet oak this might be faster
Why? I'm not about to carry an axe on a backpacking trip. Too much weight. Not like I'm in a rush to split on a trip
Thats very inpressive man great job your videos are awesome ive learned alot Thank you for making them 👍👍
Thanks for watching!
Girlfriend: "Honey, I'm cold."
Me, 3 hours later: "Here's a couple pieces of wood."
Lmao
Great question.
Do you have your wood? It’s been 3 hours
😂😂😂
2nd boyfriend: say no more
Why spend time and effort just burn it like that
Great question. There may be a time when you need to create something from the wood. For instance, a tool to use around camp. Also, it’s excellent exercise. Cutting and splitting the wood burns tons of calories and builds muscle. Also, it’s a routine. Many people love the routine of doing things. For instance, just throwing the log into the fire works but there’s not a lot of involvement in that. Sometimes the process is what makes us happy. Being a cog in the machine can be boring. Sometimes we want to be one who designs and maintains the machine. And lastly, never underestimate the value of hard work. People will admire you for it. Seeing a large pile of stacked and cut wood that is ready to be burned brings me a lot of joy. It's not the destination, but the journey along the way! Thanks for asking Robert!
@@justinuriahphotoTRUTH!!! Practice makes us better in every way possible. I love your thought about the cog in the machine. I can definitely relate. I also enjoy the process! Thanks for the words of wisdom.
@@justinuriahphotogreat answer
Da get a bigger hachett
@FlashaholicsUSA bring your little axe to my place I got a lot of practice for you lol
The hatchet is an Otacle A1 if anyone is wondering
Ummm…..no.
I wasn’t wondering.
In fact, not wondering even one little bit.
Yeah I agree with the guy above me, I don't buy $5 gas station hatchets. 😂😂😂
Makes me feel warm and fuzzy like a gooey chocolate chip cookie left all day in a backpack
“Just like that” after 10 minutes of work. 😂
While I would not consider an axe of that size to purchase, If that is the axe one has, then this is method. But it looks like you expend an inordinate amout of energy. Still appreciate the information.
🤝🏼🤝🏼🤝🏼
He shows the extreme case.
Where this method shines is when you only have a knife and don't want to ruin it by hammering it into wood as far to many people do
Well considering he’s not at home I’m doubting you would want to take a bigger one than that. On a 20+ mile hike with already 20+ pounds on your back. I’ll take that little axe over a bigger one any day.
@@user-vo1ih7kk1r get stronger and you'll carry 40lb np 😊
@@user-vo1ih7kk1r Well, if you are suggesting there are alternatives, why an Axe? Why not a Hatchet?
I did this as a teenager many times it’s simple easy and doesn’t take a lot of time. When you’re camping or hiking you don’t want to carry a lot of weight little hatchets like this make things so much easier.
Can you explain why is it easier? Because for me it looks like a LOT of work and it's just easier to grab slightly bigger axe and chop normally than do all of that
@@user-ev7tr2zn2q its not easier for sure... you just carry a folding hatchet. and i'm thinking you wouldmn't even need it to break this piece of wood in 2.. just hit it 10-30 times with it lol
@@user-ev7tr2zn2q Its useful if you’re carrying extra weight while hiking/ mountain climbing and need a camp spot. If you have a backpack full of water, food, a tent, and other equipment, it’s going to get really heavy. If you’re someone who’s likes to hike for miles, all of that extra weight become a silent killer on your energy reserves and body. A smaller axe weighs less and still gets the job done if you only need a small amount of wood.
i used to help my grandfather when he was stocking the wood for winter, one of the first things he told me was how to cut large pieces with wedges. It can work even if you have a stubborn stump that you can't or don't want to dislodge from the ground. You just cut it open with wedges and take pieces away, but you have to be careful because if a wedge gets stuck it's a pain to take it out. Not really survival tips, just stuff you do if you live in the woods
Nuce😊
Thanks for the lesson.
Axes rely on weight and force multiplication from a long handle. If you simply brought a piece of pipe that you can attach to increase the length of the handle (bonus points if it has some weight to it), you could turn this mini hatchet into enough of an axe to actually split the log just with a few swings.
Just like that, my beard grew 5 inches and I missed two of my wife’s birthdays
and most importantly..anniversary.
You shouldn't be breeding anyhow!
Hahahahahhahaa
😅😂😂😂
Divorce letter is coming
The hatchet trick is nice and well-told, but I'm more in awe of this man's calmness and patience when confronted with some of these comments
I’ve heard much worse in my lifetime. 🤝🏼
Difference between a teacher and a good teacher
Well this is honestly pretty stupid. When have you found a saw cut log in the woods? Also all you need to do is forget the notion you must split the log in half. You just start taking chunks off the outside of the log and work your way in. Oh and make your wedges more like spikes youll have a much better, faster out come.
Just remember even the smallest thing can make a big difference
Just know
That man had zero skill on how to use the small axe
Wish my wife thought this way....
Nicely done!
I don't care what anyone says. I think what you did there was really cool.
🤝🏼🤝🏼🤝🏼
It is cool but it's also funny to comment on the "just like that" cause it was not a "just like that" process
Could have done the same with a flathead screwdeiver

Wow too many likes! Thanks all!
Cutting hatchet with wood 🤔
Wedging. The wedges aren't making any cuts.
Wooding hatchet with cut!
@@bodyrumuae2914 Cut-
Verb
1. make an opening, incision, or wound in (something) with a sharp-edged tool or object.
2. divide into pieces with a knife or other sharp implement.
3. make or form (something) by using a sharp tool to remove material.
Not only is cut acceptable, but you could argue is acceptable in multiple ways
@@daveyjoseph6058 And then I contest it again because all of those definitions are on the premise of the object being sharp. A wedge doesn't need a sharp edge to function.
That little hatchet did so good the bark even fell off 😂
That was brilliant!
@@leedavis3704 thanks Lee! 🤝🏼🤝🏼🤝🏼
"lets find out if this smaller hatchet can split this log"
a second later "here's a wedge..."
I know right
Finally someone who knows what he's doing. Simply and honestly explained. Thanks
Just like MacGyver knew what he was doing not
@@tobyalsip9403 Except that this is an actual technique that I have used in the past
@@Marinecorpsbratwhy was there wood cut down to small logs and nothing to cut them? You just found a bunch of logs waiting to be chopped into firewood stranded in the forest?
@@captaincalamity8487 No... I used a hatchet
@@captaincalamity8487 and I was camping with my dad
The little hatchet that said “it could”…. 36 hours later…. and just like that”.
By far my favorite bushcraft channel my boys love thank you sir
Thanks Brando! 🤝🏼🤝🏼
Hey man, I really do appreciate all your hard work. I think everybody who watches these is gonna learn a lot and that’s what this culture in society needs right now you’re doing a lot of good work man and we all appreciate it.
Thats a really awesome little hatchet
i agree, i want one just for collection lol
My thoughts as well, who make them?
@andydufresne3635
Olight
Mans not saying its the best or essy way. But work with what you have. Good job man
Thanks for seeing the bigger picture!
Yes… this guys is showing us what you can do with what you have.
Why not just use smaller wood. A bow saw is just as easy to pack as that little hatchet. But I could easily get 50x as much with a bow saw. Not to mention that the round pieces burn longer.
U can justify anything but if u got that tool that's not what am wasting time doing but I hear ya it's for hobby mainly
Easy*
Nice little buddy tool. Great video.
its not about the size, its about how you use it
Yeah everbody usually calls B.S. on that too...
FINALLY ,someone actually talked about looking for natural cracks !
Lmfao 😂
When I split wood I always look for the natural cracks it just makes sense to me
A WW2 paratrooper showed me this when I was a kid. He volunteered his time with my BSA troop to teach us wilderness survival and a bunch of other outdoor badges. He showed us a ton of stuff, and all of it had a ludicrous story about how he had to use it during the war. The older I've gotten, the more I've come to believe the things he told us were actually true. At the time, I could never have imagined that he'd have used boot laces and cordage from lost chutes to make a bridge out of broken rifles and pieces of trashed equipment to cross a fairly large waterway. He said there weren't enough trees to use branches.
It's kinda funny to imagine a bridge made of rifles just sitting in some random place in the world.
@drumlineking07 it seems absolutely insane, right out of "the tall tales" but with all of the strange stories that have come to light over the last 30 years or so, I wouldn't discount anything as much as I did then.
Course, my grandpa would tell us kids they'd load Japanese soldiers into cannons and shoot them at the Germans, which we all know is blatantly an impossibility on all accounts. Lmao.
I knew this method but using a knife seems kinda dumb to use a small axe if you got a a big out
Yeah, sure bud
😆 🤣 😂 😹 Great comment!! I get it entirely.
Nature class with good ol uncle Jerry
I swear the happiest of men are always outdoors
“And just like that”? More like, “and after ALL of that” 😂
yeah i was looking for this
Why is the hatchet so cute omg
You're weird
@@maurya077 yes
@@nen5441 same
Because his hands are massive
Now this right here shows you the difference between city people and rednecks. City people carry petite little girly hatchets that you could barely split a mushroom with and rednecks carry manly hatchets that you can get some work done with 😂
Bro was out of breath after that 10min😂😂
Thats a nice an quick way to split a piece of near dried wood ..
But those wedges ..
Are a wee bit to wet to hold that shape..
However I personally kno this method works .. Especially when you've found yourself out in the boonies
An nobody in your group but
You brought an axe ..
An all the charcoals have been spent lol
...my favorite part was near the end when he says, "and just like that". as if it all was a quick, simple process 😂
it was a very easy process without the time to explain to you, 3min tops
@@Epindary I don't understand if you meant the whole process takes 3min or the explanation but just to remind you
It took 10min for the wood to get cut
Not to mention how he did a cut away, not showing the whole process lol
@@6466032 the whole took 10min.
That will not fit in a short unless it's 7-8× the speed but that's still just to cut it and not the explanation included
@@6466032 The whole process took 10min .he won't be able to fit it in a short
Even in 8× the speed it will take the whole short excluding the explanation
It's a good skill to learn in a just in case moment. Don't fault the guy for trying to help people to learn something new they may need to use one day. Ty man for showing us this.
And just like that, 8 hours later, our log is split!
Well those sounds were absolutely delightful.
It's funny, when I saw the hatchet, I thought No way!, but when you mentioned wedges, I completely understood the logic.
This is a fairly practical example of survival bushcraft, thanks.
Thanks!
Survival bushcraft?… where exactly do you find chainsawed blocks of wood just lying around in the bush?
@@tassiedevil2400you can cut one down with a saw
So, if you have a saw, wouldn’t it be easier to cut smaller trees that don’t require splitting?
@@tassiedevil2400 It would be more sensible to carry a semi-sized/small axe for splitting and cutting down trees when camping in nature/woods.
So, TECHNICALLY, the hatchet did NOT split the log.
It's not a "technically", it's a *"literally"*
Or...technically it did
It made the tools to split the oak
Useless comment 😂
Technically Justin split the log. His brain saw the need for a tool that could be used to make more tools.
A tool similar to a hatchet, called a froe, is what makers of wooden shingles use to rive out their product.
You'll probably laugh at my little bit of information but the more you know the easier life becomes.
😮 I feel so peaceful wow.
Great way to rid yourself of anger, anxiety,& depression... utilizes energy, burns calories, and keeps the wood shed full😊
Huh. If only I'd thought of that before.
I just need to use the energy that I don't have, and my depressed ass will be all better!
I know you probably mean well, but that attitude only makes things worse.
@@MartinFinnerup .. I don't know personally I disagree.. I know many people with depression including my own brother. Going outsides always helps no matter how little energy you have.
@@MartinFinnerupeveryone’s different. But generally it is all about perspective. And anyone can change it
Burning calories is a problem, not a pro.
@@MartinFinnerup It can at least help prevent/lessen it if it's not yet at a point where you're incapacitated but it's building up. Routines help me a lot
“All you need to split this log is these other two logs.” Never in a dozen years would I have thought that lol.
The McNally way of life.
If you're by yourself in the woods with just a hatchet and need a fire and just happen to come along some dried, saw-cut logs... This is how you can split it. 😂
stay out of the woods. you need people around.
Clearly, you've never unlocked a Honda Civic without the keys.
@@Allahpaca I... I understood that reference.
Wow😊
🤝🏼🤝🏼🤝🏼
Instructions Unclear: I just split a metal rod
I thank my late grandpa for teaching me this. My summer holidays were spent gathering firewood for my grandparents. Those were the most productive days.
bring the family to the US , but come up from the southern border, youll get money , phones, food, and a place to live for free
10 mins later.......Just like that. 🤣
I still like your method. 💯👍
You want to trick everyone with that question!😅😅😅
Wow you are smart. Now this is who I want to go camping with.
Are we just gonna ignore how good the video quality is.

@@justinuriahphoto I was actually mesmerized about this, it's not usually what we see in a short...
I know that sometimes you just gotta use the resources you have on hand.
But in my head I kept hearing the Sponge Bob guy saying, "Twelve hours later".
Your comment wins! Thanks for the laugh.
Hahahaha, I hear it too now ...
Phrases you can hear: "Twelve years later"
I remember when I had my first beer I fell my dinosaurs 😅😅😅
Thx for showing me that friend.
Not needed for "at home" work but a lifesaver for a "bug out " bag when room is limited and you are on the move. Great lesson sir!
Unless you actually need to get something done quickly, kinda defeats the purpose of a bug out. Get the tools that will do the job as quick as possible without wasting energy that would be best used elsewhere in a bug out scenario
I guess bug out means I have a shootout with bad guys at my homestead and have to leave? Chopping wood and building a fire is not on my list of things to accomplish after running to the hills overlooking my place
@@gumecindogarcia1070 "bug out" is often the term used when you have to quickly evacuate the comfort of your home to a safe place that probably is somewhere in the out doors. Only being able to take limited items this hatchet and his knowledge replace many items.
@@doughaven-rf8id yes Sir. I live in the woods and I figure city people will be here in no time trying their hand. I take the idea that you can't stay home after you defend yourself
When you find a sawed log in a survival situation you might be trespassing. Find the land owner and boom, you're saved.
*Shot
Doesn't have to be a survival situation, could be camping. Then it might be a question between spending ten minutes using the small hatched and two hours going back and getting the big one.
@@patrickkeller2193
Or five minutes picking up smaller wood that will get this chunk to burn for 4 hrs.
Like opening a wheel of parmesan
I sacrifice weight somewhere else and carry a larger hand ax. But, none the less, for folks learning... It's a good little lesson
I like these videos, since it gives me a vibe of quality and survivalist mentality which is needed in this generation. Keep it coming!
Glad you like them!
I love how sharp that hatchet is. Slices the wood like butter
You must have some hard-ass butter.
That black ops tomahawk looks good
“And just like that (4 hours later) our log is split.”
He didn’t say it was quick or ideal but he showed how to use how to work with what you’ve got.
"And just like that..." Famous last words.
A lot of comments seem to miss the application of this method. Obviously, if you are at home, you likely have access to a much larger axe or maybe even a chainsaw. The use case this is meant for would be in the woods far from home where carrying a larger axe would not be possible. Many survival manuals ive read even show this method using a large fixed blade knife, so its not limited to small hatchets only. Like you mentioned in a reply earlier, the main reason for splitting a log this size in the first place would be for a certain tool, not for burning. Hope you have a great day and have many more years of enjoment left in the woods.
U can also throw the whole log on the wedge after hammering it in a little and the weight of the log falling on the wedge will allow the wedge to split it naturally.
He said "just like that" like it was easy
3 seconds into the video and I already trust this man with my life. There's something about his aura that just says "I got you"
Bro copy pasted a bot comment
as a wise man once said "its not the size that matters, its how you use it"
Your that wise man
Yeah. If I borrowed two other pieces of wood to get the job done, she'd be pretty happy.
No man skipped this
I'm glad it wasn't cold outside
A hatchet is probably one of the 5 things id always have in a survival pack. It's just a necessity
I have one in my tool bucket. Which is also my "Bug out bag."
Mine is a knife. Don't really need a first aid kit because I heal fast and don't ever get infections that I can't handle. And I don't need food because I have half a dozen ways to get it. But a good knife? There's no replacement you can make in the woods. And a knife will be useful in more ways than a simple hatchet, and for more precise things as well.
I just keep a bunch of nails and bolts in my pockets , I get lost or something I just eat those for food , infections not a problem just chew up some of my pocket food until it turns into whatever tool or knife I want , come to think of it I may need to start keeping a few AAA batteries so I can make a phone also to call all my other super buddies lol😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I respect this was an honest presentation instead of some bs magic split
I’ll have to tell John Locke about this
Nice ❤❤😊😊
As an avid outdoorsmen , that FLOORED me. Super cool! Great survival demo, thank you.

.Greetings from England 🇬🇧
Thank you very much!
I think people missed the point in this demonstration being what you COULD do if you ONLY had a hatchet to cut that log, and that this was a challenge while also being a sort of guide for the technique
🤝🏼🤝🏼🤝🏼 you’re one of the few who got it.
Being a survivalist is so cool
Beautiful work.
Thank you very much!
Damn, I wish I had seen this before last weekend. A couple friends and I went camping and everybody was responsible for bringing a few things. Imagine my surprise when the guy who was supposed to bring an ax for chopping firewood busts out with the smallest, dullest, oldest hatchet I've ever seen. It really sucks having to walk as far as we did to find logs and twigs that were suitable enough already to burn because I had no clue how to split a big ass log with just a tiny hatchet. This is actually really cool to know
It will be less work to find small twigs and branches than split this.
Nice cut
It's all good until the park ranger hears you.
Great info. If I'm stuck at the edge of someone's yard and only have a camera and a small hatchet, I'll be sure to remember this.
and a saw to cut the log before working your hatch
Subscribe earned. Nothing in this world gives me peace like being taught by someone who knows how-to.
You’re gonna end up calling in Bigfoot!! Hahahah
"Just like that"...😂
And : For maximum efficiency and comfort, always wear your backpack while splitting wood or doing woodsman-like activities.
I do like that compact hatchet.
You can prevent those wedges from mushrooming by carving a decent size chamfer around the head of your wedge.
Will try it next time. Thanks!
Ah yes, nothing like testing a problem you will never encounter 😂😂😂
😮wow... really..have to try it
Could you sculpt a stone using water droplets alone?
Yes.
With all that effort put into it, you could do anything.
Cuts a log with a chain saw, splits the log with some twigs and a tiny hatchet. Makes sense
Literally cut the video because it wasnt splitting. Lmao.
It's a short. How many ten minute shorts do you see?
you never found logs left over from others...? I often have.
It’s a demonstration for a scenario where you’re out there with a tiny tool like that. You never know what kind of scenario you could find yourself in and most people don’t go on a casual day hike with a chainsaw.
short awnser: no. Long awnser: Mankind made tools and then used them to make other tools. We use what we have and find the best effect we can. Thanks for the common sense video. Been missing them.
Fr Bro jsut showed us how to spilt a log with a small axe (could use a knife) and just knowing the technique is helpful 😊
If u use wedges you can split it with a kitchen knife as well....
10 minutes is way to much, it should go under 5 minutes. But, it looks kinda nice
Justin mate, I feel like camping with you would be better than laying on my sofa.... keep on rocking on mate
Thanks Shawn!
Real eye opener. When you're backpacking every ounce counts. Wouldn't have believe it if I hadn't seen it. I really don't think you expended any more energy than if you'd had a sledgehammer and a wedge.
He definitely did, don’t forget the “10 minutes later” part. Absolutely no shot swinging a splitting maul a few times is more tiring than this video
The low mass of the tools used here mean there is a poor effort-> result ratio.
Edit: I guess there’s ONE scenario where this is easier…a maul/sledge is too heavy for you to swing lol idk
10 minutes of batoning is definitely more than the tens of seconds you'd spend with a wedge and sledge. This isn't the right tool for the job, it's just something you could do if you absolutely had to.
@@miguelmoronta6871
I agree with you, put the point here. He's demonstrating how to accomplish the same task with only what you have in a backpack to the middle of nowhere.
My dad is a carpenter, it reminds me of the times I used to watch him work on wood❤
