How to Process Wood When THE WORLD FALLS APART

How to get your wood processing done (minus felling, that will be a separate video) in SHTF and how to not get whacked while your doing it. Although I tried to take it down to level one in the video, there's still some basic things I tend to take for granted that everyone should know, such as:
1. In SHTF, have a security element with you while doing any work like this.
2. Cross cutting is much more efficient with a saw.
3. You should be crosscutting as little as possible unless you have a wood stove or some setup that requires you to cut wood down to a certain length.
4. Spare saw blades are a good idea.
5. Get out there and practice!

Thank you for posting this. I learned a lot about something that never crossed my mind.

[@efficientinthefield]

@@DanThePrepperMan No problem Dan! Make sure you read the description because there's more tips in there. 🙏

Amazing channel. I watch every video. Always excited for a new one. Not sure how you only have 6k subs. I’ll share the hell out of you.

[@efficientinthefield]

@@B35point1 Thanks B35! I keep hearing that about the subs. I've had this platform remove comments and that kind of thing. I don't think they have your long term well-being at heart.

Double bitted axe and a good sized bow saw. Northern Minnesota here. Chain saw is the best if you have gasoline and oil. Axes are for experienced people. If you hit your leg with an axe, you ain't going to survive. ALSO, IN WINTER WITH SNOW, YOU NEED A SLED TO GET THE WOOD TO YOUR SHELTER.

I like the way you're paying attention to safety and efficiency - great !
Knowing the principle of linear momentum, I'd choose an axe with a smaller head and a longer handle.
You missed a forth basic tool - it's a good sharpening stone like the Lansky puck to keep your tools sharp in the field.

[@efficientinthefield]

@@mannihh5274 Yes, I actually prefer tomahawks with a 22" handle, but figured I'd use this axe for the video. A lighter tool with more leverage. I was talking about wood processing tools specifically. I've covered sharpening tools in other videos. 🙏

All great woods man have the same safe way to get the job done, but you opened up my eyes to move efficient and quiet working. Step on branches = less calories 😅. And have your bang bang close. ❤

Just a suggestion, do some research on the most officiant way of using an ax or hatchet. It is actually 3 strokes to each side of your V notch. I was raised as a 6th generation logger The old hands who used to swing an ax 10-12 hours a day taught me. It is way faster and efficient.

Great video. Enjoyed the format. How’d you get Morgan freeman to narrate the whole thing?

[@efficientinthefield]

@@drmann15 He's a close, personal friend. 😆

Good video mate.
Can you create a Telegram page - I can’t even comment on CZcams as they keep censoring 👍

[@efficientinthefield]

@@Cards36555 I don't even know what Telegram is. 😅 I'll look into it.

[@anonymousf454]

Oh this is cool....do you do live videos Sir?

[@efficientinthefield]

@@anonymousf454 I do live videos for Patrons on my Patreon. 🙏 I've thought about trying them on here occasionally though.

the first 90 days, until the dogs have all been eaten, you need food in your scatter-buried caches that requires no cooking. Jerky, pemmican, nut butters, powdered milk, Koolaid, salt, electrolyte mixes, granola. You dont want to have to heat anything with wood. Fires in daylight,, or light showing at night will get you shot. Ditto noisemaking or being out and about in daylight. Get below ground, with lots of debris-insulation around you and you wont need a heat source. you dont want to be leaving tracks or 'sign" of cutting/processing wood What little cooking you need to do, can be done with busted up, fallen branches. A year into shtf, 99% of the population will be dead, 2-3rds of the US drains into Lousianna. You can float a drum full of food on a rope behind your raft. and have a mountain bicycle on your raft. or vice versa, of course. The coastlines, you can have a low, black sail and move south at night, staying a mile off shore. In daylight, make it several miles and bring down the mast and sail during the day. Get out of cold country, so you can grow food year round. 2 months after shtf, the fish and game will all be gone. the storred food, grain, produce and livestock will all be gone in the first 30 days. Dont kid yourself about that!
