Can you do an opinion on the SOG camp axe?
You should leave a mustache
@@tROCKxBitE I have all three and I recommend the Gerber/ Fisker camp ax. Preferably with the longer handle. The main reason is better materials. Both the steel and the plastic are much better.
Wranglerstar hi mate awesome content could you do a video on forest fuel load management and your opinions on why that is important i live in Australia and I would love your ideas for our property
I don’t think I will be buying that garbage, thank you though 😁
That bread knife almost looks like a saw lol.
i was gunna say the same thing but knew i was too late to be the first one 😂

The last one is the most difficult so I wish you the best of luck!
This makes me want to live in Tennessee
Good luck with the last one.
I've had the exact same hatchet for 2 years now and as a matter of fact was using it yesterday to split kindling, never ever been sharpened and still going strong ! Best $20 I've spent in a very long time and I'm being 100% honest about this.
makes me even sadder that it's NLA
if i drove around the uk with that in the cat id get 5 years for having a weapon lol
I drive with a SMLE ( Lee Enfield ). The stipulation is to keep it out of sight (a case, blanket etc). No fragile .223 projectiles those West Coast AR-15 boys use, the .303 just keeps going.
Richard Crookes because unless you’re a tradesman, camper or gardener, why would you need it in your car other than to use it as a lethal weapon?
OMGG ITS WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION!!!! RUNNNN!!!!
DT Captures but anything can be used as lethal weapon tho
DT Captures you are the problem.
6:02 , nice looking rifle.

@@MatthewOfNineveh who said it was a woman?
are you implying only woman can be nice looking?
This feels like there was an actual bladesmith stuck working for a chinese knockoff company
The payment per hour is low, in many western countries most of the price value come from work hour. In a third world country or China, the work value isn’t high which make them cheap. If the same axe is made in The US I bet it won’t be just 17 but something at least double the price. For example, you can have your pc fixed with just 3 US dollar in those countries while it will cost you several hundred just for the work hours alone.
@@clorkmagnus on a slightly different thought, a lot of stuff would be way more expensive in the US if all were made in or sourced from USA.
@@kennys4100 With the existing U.S economy, which isn’t focused on production for those kind of things
@@jackmccoy7435 The U.S used to make those kinds of things. But the reason production moved over to China in the first place was to save money. If manufacturing is going to come back to the U.S, they'll either have more expensive products, or need to develop cheaper manufacturing.
That'd probably require political intervention (because people wont tolerate paying more for things unless they're forced to) or automation getting good enough that the cost of labor stops mattering so much.
Or I guess wages in the U.S could collapse. At which point hey, the U.S can start exporting stuff to China!
@@frostden in scale production labor is not as huge of a factor as may be expected. Really a major barrier is the large amount of capital that needs to be dropped on tooling and equipment (modern equipment capable of functioning with energy [which is cost] efficiency) and the fact that that investment does not see immediate returns. Additionally the tighter regulatory environment makes setting up some things more difficult if not impossible with numerous legal hurdles, some of which make total sense from a safety perspective, and some of which become absurdly pedantic
I bought that hatchet for my son on a flash sale for $10.99. I did some work on the sheath to make it fit tighter. It actually isn't bad and well worth it for a beginner!
The best survival tool is the AR in the background.
Good catch.
@@Liz-em8mw DAMN STRAIT, theres a great demo ranch video where he basically does that lmao
It’s for whet the axe needs to be put down
Until you run out of ammo, then it is a heavy decoration to carry everywhere you travel. Although it is a very pretty decoration.
@Transpecies Grolar Bear i think he carries it to defend himself because of the wildlife that could attack him
I have a confession. I had expected you to badmouth the ax since it was made in China. To my happy surprise you gave a very objective review! I apologize for my negative thoughts. Good Job!
No more negative thoughts please. Thank you!
He has actually found a few chinese made items that were surprisingly good, despite his normal preference for American or Scandinavian made items.
Who cares if he comments on something made in China? , 90% of what they export is garbage lol
But you missed the 🍞 saw.
@@thememe986
Really?
What brand of power tools you use were not made by TTI and labeled made in USA Mr. Richie Rich?
The saw looks like a glorified bread knife haha but in a survival situation you'd be more than happy with it I guess?
Sure beats cutting something with a rock. And at $20, you can't complain much. These people who charge hundreds of dollars for tools like this are ones I have a problem with.
Fix the grip up with a bit of the tape hockey players put on their stick!

Hockey tape
some shallow slits might do the job as well
good ol grip tape. Never used it but black cloth tape never failed me lol
I love this guy so much, he's just a token wholesome Canadian dad character teaching survival skills and telling stories about his buddies and family. you've earned a subscriber, mate
My GF and I camped at a primitive spot in NM, near Silvercity for three weeks. We used the cheap Fiskar version of this hatchet to chop of a log that was 4 feet long and two feet in diameter for firewood. The hatchet took a beating but it got the job done. We would have been awfully cold without it!
The saw looks like a bread knife lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Zac Peter exactly what I thought my self lol
8:00 face the cup the other way, that way you don’t get any/as much debris floating into it (leaves, pine needles, etc ). Saw this tip from Cody Lundin
Good vid, thanks
A couple of minutes adjusting the set on that saw would make a world of difference and wouldn't be too hard to do.
Man listening to this guy talk is like listen to my grandpa and I love it
exactly he even has the same vocabulary and tone
It feels like I had a nice wholesome hike with my grandpa
Thank you for all your videos! You shoot straight, give valuable advice, and leave honest reviews. I watch your reviews just to learn and garner new techniques or tips - not really caring much for the products.
Great video. I forget your great Bushcrafting skills. I work with some 11-13 year old boys and this looks like a great incentive/reward for them in the goal setting learning we are trying to teach them.
I’ve been testing this tool out myself and found the same problem with the saw and binding up on me. Over all though I really like how it preforms and the price
Same here. Although my set is from a brand called Robens and it is in all black. Saw isn't really useful, but overall it's a nice package for the price.
am not really that into survival tools, but my gf is, and these videos, well, bro you are so wholesome to watch, I dont even pray but I would for you.
That’s the first time I’ve heard the gf is into survival tools and the bf isn’t
6:09 "Video-ographer?" Made me chuckle. The wonderful honesty and imperfections in your videos are a key part of what make them successful. Keep it up!
Great Video! always good content. A tip on using the firesteel tho - instead of holding the firesteel still and pushing the knife, try hold the knife still close to the firebase and pull the firesteel back. It´s much easier to aim, sparks gets closer to the firebase and you have a ton more control over it! Cheers from Sweden

Love the axe reviews. Your videos are always very interesting... even to an east coast guy like myself!
My thought also.
Can you test a swiss military surplus hachet it is sold on sportsman guide and can be had for around 20 bucks I would like to see how that stacks up against the budget hatchets
Neighbour: There was an Mountain Lion up the hills.
Wranglerstar: *laughs in full auto*
Hate to nitpick but that's most probably not a fully automatic rifle
Yeah its just a standard 5.56 ar15, just a normal semi auto rifle. Still a nice firearm, but not full auto, no full auto firearms made after 1986 can be owned by civilians. Only pre 1986 can be used, and a theyre expensive af. An uzi could run you 10-15k, so an automatic ar style rifle would be up in the 30's like an m16
Idk guys i dont know the american gun law, im from germany and we arent even allowed to have knifes longer than the with of our hand lol
@@BetrixHD Oh im very much in the same situation lol, but instead of Germany it's Sweden

Great review, kept my attention the whole time and believe me brother that is a task in itself.Your videos are inspiring, real, and teachable.I know there is alot of work involved in putting a video like this together.Thank you for your time , be careful, God Bless.
Although they are biased sometimes
LMAO, story about the guy missing his sleeves and shirt pockets remind's me of my uncle Rick. His wife eventually just decided to stitch on a couple of tear off flaps on the inside of his flannel shirts and gave up trying to fix the pockets when he came back from the bush.
That’s great 👍 Smart lady
I watch every Wranglerstar video that appears on my feed even though I don’t think I’ll buy the things he’s reviewing. There’s something calming about his videos I can’t explain it. Keep making the videos 😬👌🏼
PSA: stain less does actually rust it just takes longer.
otherwise they’d call it rustless eh?

Hockey tape on that handle would solve the gription issues.

Simple the one you actually HAVE with you.
Cheers!
Thats awesome that you used the word "gription". Ive used it for years and love seeing peoples faces while processing the tern. I usually follow it up with "its a technical/industry term. Lol
@@Michael-jb2wm I hope it made your day. It's one of those words, that I heard as a kid growing up that is certainly a real word to me! I also like Skookum and Copacetic, those two words often throw people for a loop, but I like them.
Cheers from Tokyo!
@@TokyoCraftsman skookum choocher
I found my axe in a rubbish bin. I have been using it for the past 13 years and it’s been awesome. It’s a vintage axe but it’s awesome
I wish I had an uncle like you to teach me how to survive. Great Vid!
I’m really glad to see this my wife bought me one of these a year or two ago to take on fishing trips but I never really used it we traded camping for staying in a cabin but I’m glad to see it’s a decent tool
Hot glue the grip on the ax. That will give it grip.
ChArLiE BeAtZ Lol. I use baseball bat grip tape. Works great for reducing some of the shock too
If you REALLY want to have a good grip I use skateboard grip tape. It's essentially sandpaper with glue on the back. Lots of control but you better have tough hands or you'll get torn up.
Won't stay in extreme temps cold/hot, but use your idea with epoxy, maybe?
They literally make spray on rubber for that exact reason, you can spray a coat on just about anything you need.

I purchased this same Yes for all axe 2 yrs ago, when i 1st read/learned about prepping. I believe that i purchased it for under $30 bucks then. So now its down to $17 bucks? wow. Well i have purchased others since and yes its still intact and going strong, i never thought much of the saw and because the handle is hollow i don't use it in really cold weather. Good review thx for sharing.
I liked the way you did the long branch to use for hanging your camping pot!👍
My Fiskars was sharp when I got it and I really like it. But Fiskars/Gerber has always been a pretty good split between quality and price, at least in my experience.
I would love to see you review the "Gerber Bear Grylls Survival Hatchet". I bought one to see if it is any good and was very impressed. I now carry it in my flight bag with a separate folding saw.
In your own private plane.
@@fattguy21 When i read this i thought of Flight as in a go bag ready to head out quick
Its nice to see you caretaking the forest like that and thinning the trees for better growth. And, as a bonus, little baby AR's pop up all over.
I bought a survival kit on Amazon that cost about $90. It was Chinese too and I fully expected it to fail. It was one of those that had an axe/hammer, a shovel, a pick/hoe, an ice pick, a whistle, mag starter, a dinky saw, and even came with handle wrap for the 7 handle pieces. I ended up using it for a weeklong primitive campout for my daily firewood cutting. Chopped down and chopped up multiple trees. The shovel worked great as well. The nicest thing was that you could make a long handle on the axe for some serious swing. Made short work. Above all else, the quality was unequaled to much of anything else I've seen. Everything had a tight fit and was perfect. And it all fit in a special 5x10x8in pouch. Other than the tiny saw, it was the perfect kit.
But for pure simplicity, this axe is great. For that price you can't afford not to have an extra axe around. I'll probably get one and see if I can adjust the teeth on that saw.
cool! would u mind sharing a link or the model?
I’ve seen a total of 1 other video, wondered what the rifle was for and then had it answered right after. Marvellous
I never use the saw but I love the hachette use mine all the time and its lasted like 4 years
same here, it's been a couple years since I got mine. Kept in the car and as he says, damn sharp from the get go!
Good humor and pace of video. Cool mounting of the branch.
Just successfully fixed norlund hatchet. Wouldn't have attempted it without all your help.
Thanks Cody, never seen the dovetail cooking stick method. Have to use that.Thanks always good spending time with you!
“Why the rifle?” How about “because I’m an American! Therefore, I can! Therefore I will!
Keeps the Oregon Sasquatch at bay....
Pam PR Correct!👌👍
Well if you don't need a rifle why carry it around? Just dead weight at that point. I think that's what he meant.
Roody Tooty He could very well need it. His dogs have been attacked by coyotes in the past. I’m not sure if that video is still up. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
This is the way.
Love the review. If you ever saw that beast, be sure to have a go pro on you to record yourself driving it away!
Thanks for the review! Enjoy the honest opinions on budget gadgets like these. Really appreciated Cody.
I wonder if upgrading that saw with some kerf would be viable option? With a bit of DIY might be usable. Of course it should be good from package, but if the steel is of decent quality, it still might be useful, and using it wouldn't be so tiresome afterwards. Or replacing it entirely with something that'll fit inside that axe handle. For that price it really seems to be a nice tool.
I'll tell you being a guy who live in a city that reaches 50C I've developed a deep hatred for the sun too
Been watching and enjoying your videos for years. Just realised that I’m not even subscribed! Subscribed now, though. Easily the number one CZcams channel that you love but never expected to. Never used an axe in my life, but I’ve spent hour after hour watching you do it 😂
Friend of mine got me an identical axe but the name is wakeman on it. Had it for a few years now and I use it all winter as my kindling hatchet. I've brought it camping to have just in case and while out used it to chop up a downed tree. It took a while as could be expected but it did its job the best it could. Keeps a edge fairly well and is easy to get back to a razor's edge.
hey bless you Cody. coming back to your channel after being down and out for a few years is like a breath of fresh air. its good to see you still doing the same great videos i love and still enjoying everything that lifes brings us. Keep it up 👌

Haven’t seen that knife in years! Beautiful.
From the Uk and have always had a bit of interest in these survival videos and camping etc. This recent situation has made me a bit more interested and i have ordered a pcp rifle, and some knives a hatchet/tool , folding saw and shovel and a few books on water filtering and edible wild food. Probably overkill but for the sake of a weeks wages i feel a lot more prepared to look after my family :P
I've seen a few of those where the poll/hammer side is broken off.
That is a major weakspot, where the hole is..
It chops pretty well aside of that.
Having an uncle like Wranglerstar would've greatly improved my quality of life.
"just a warning, trees will be harmed in the making of this video" That was actually hilarious idk why people aren't talking about it
I was just looking for this comment
Very cool learned some useful survival tricks.
1:50 I love the lil boogie with the sawing lmao
1 minute ago. nice. Love the video's man, makes me wanna go outside and chop down a tree. It does look a whole lot like a fiskars.
Be carefull hitting ur axe in the tree and then sawing below it. My axe fell down out off the tree from the vibrations and hit my sawblade. Luckily not my arm or head.
I love the name “yes 4 all!” haha
I've got a Zippo Outdoors 4 in 1 combo that I quite like - axe, saw, mallet and 'tent stake puller.'
That axe was 1 of my 1st Amazon purchases 4 yrs ago. It's stil going strong. Thx for reviewing it.

@@RidiswordWhat's a hunting rifle?
@@civedm Are you for real or are you trying to make a point..? I mean, just like I wouldn't bring my ol' Remington .308 in a firefight, I wouldn't take an AR-15 with an Acog, a canted red dot sight and a flashlight mounted on a DDR to hunt.. (Unless you're hunting small "pests" that you don't mind putting many holes in like hogs and wolves)
@@JohnLong. if it fires bullets/pellets/slugs, it's a hunting firearm if you use it as one

I really appreciate the HONEST reviews and awesome vids. Thank you
Is there a small axe/hatchet that you would recommend keeping on a sailboat? Something that could possibly be used for defense, but useful for cutting up driftwood for camp fire on the beach.
From what I can tell you are living the most fulfilling lifestyle known to man. Seeing someone who demonstrates the value of hard work and a close family provides hope for us all.
Honey im gonna go test this axe!
Ok did u bring the Rifle just in case?
U bet.
Loved this one. Like getting back to your roots. But then again I like pretty much everything you share. Thanks!
Like the videos real reviews on all the crazies you can buy on amazon. Very helpful and fun to watch
The AR could probably saw the tree better than the actual saw.
I wanna go outside, live in the forest, build a cabin, and retaliate on the industrial revolution
I used Fisker's hatchets for years, limbing and cutting small trees...was perfect. His recommendation is on point.
Going to have to try that pot hanger next time I'm out and about. Thanks, Cody, always an entertaining video. Got a link to that hatchet?
Dude ripped the $300 Spyderco Genzow Hatchethawk as nearly unusable, but he seems pretty pleased with this $20 Amazon hatchet. This is worth thinking about.
Never seen an axe that comes with a bread knife
I have the same set up I bought about 5 years ago...Mine is all black (no yellow) and has no name on it...It seems a decent tool the times I have had it in the woods...Yes the saw sux.
Thank you sir, for sharing. Good to know that not all cheap products are useless. Cheers!
