You're one of the hardest channels to put into words as to why I love it. You, being a firefighter, have access to the best tools in the woods in the business. Or as an ex firefighter, have had such. Yet you still take the time to test the common man bushcraft items, and genuinely give them a go, and are honest about your experiences, good or bad. Including with non-common man items, like the mentioned Spyderco axe. I just really appreciate you, man. I love the detail you go into the, sorry, unfucking of the tool, sometimes. Just simple things that make them worth 3x the price. All my axes are sharper, all my tools are Ballistol'd. Thanks.

Cody, all that climbing is turning you into a string bean. That's a great little hatchet. The great thing about softer, tougher steel is that you can restore the edge on a slab of stream-side sandstone. Try that with a chipped-edge Spyderco. Thanks for the great video.

I’ll tell you, some of you guys can find the most nit pickinest stuff to whim about! Let’s see if any of you guys can do a better job! Yeah, I doubt it too!

I've had one of those hand axes for nearly two years now and I've used and abused it removing stumps and roots and all that.. It's held up surprisingly well. It's also surprisingly ergonomic.. I recommend it.

I bought the full size HF hickory handle axe several months ago, I've been so impressed with it I recently purchased another one (I liked the grain in the handle better than the first one I picked) and also grabbed the only hickory hatchet they had left! I was so excited to get one, I know silly... But it's a great thing when a $12 tool can give you the fizz. I'll call that a win every day of the week! Looking forward to putting the hatchet through it's paces.

You know... i'm not really big into forestry and what not, probably because i live in the city. But something about Wrangler and his videos are just very calming and relaxing. i find myself watching his videos for hours on end. Having seemingly no genuine need or interest for the information he provides, i somehow still enjoy learning and watching him calmly demonstrate stuff, helps with my anxiety honestly. I know im probably not the exact audience you're intending to inform or please, but hey, it works either way haha! Keep up the good work man!

You never know when you might end up stranded in the wilderness and need the information you've been obtaining. I believe all people (city or country) should have a broad knowledge of wilderness survival.

The other important point is that someone could buy several of these, make the modifications that you did, and leave them in a couple of places. For instance, if someone had a hunting camp, this ax could stay at the camp. If one forgot to bring an ax, this one is there but doesn't represent a huge financial loss if something happens to it. If one remembers to bring another ax from home but two people are at camp, then two people can work on chopping chores.

At least once a day, do something that scares you. My granddad said exactly the same thing. Stuff like this is why I am such a big fan of your channel.

Thanks for the video. Recovering from being ill. This was a real lift.

I bought one a few years back and did a few modifications to it and it works just great. I sanded and polished the entire head before I sharpened it and sanded the handle and oiled it with several coats of mineral oil. I bought a sheath for it too. It is a great tool and much better than many others out there for a lot more money, just like you said.

Cody, As a native Oregonian I’ve spent a lot of my time in the old growth forest, and I must say you do a fantastic job with your filming. I get the feeling of being out there every time I watch your videos. Well done.

This "review" is a breath of fresh air... there are so many products and tools out there that are grossly overpriced and revered by too many.

Thank you for taking your time to show us. I enjoyed your video. Thank you very much.

I love all of your videos! They really put an insight Into the older way of survival and good tips and tricks to keep your equipment top notch. Keep up the good work

I picked one up, will probably be doing similar modifications today or tomorrow when I find some downtime. Thanks for the idea and keeping an eye out for great deals! I love this thing!

Probably the most honest heart to heart he's done about a tool.i enjoyed it

Still discovering your videos and each one teaches me something new. Thank you

I'm glad you did come out and actually test the ax in the real world--God bless your work and time given

I for one really appreciate honest tool reviews on lower end tools. Not everyone can run out and buy the "best" there is.

Being a professional homeowner myself, Harbor Freight items are amazing for when you just need something that is "good enough to do the job". I LOVE the oscillating tools they carry that go for $15. I'm a proud owner of 3 so when one tears up due to rough use I just pitch it and grab another. Still getting off cheaper than one of the "high end" brands and concern myself less with the care and handling of the tool. By the way I've given them the name of Oscar. Lol

New to the channel, absolute favorite. Thank you.

Love your videos...this will be the second hatchet I have bought on your recommendation...thank you!

Dang. The cinematography is killer.

After watching your first video on this axe, I went and bought myself one. Scraped, stained, honed, and treated mine just like you show in the video. I love this thing, great weight, solid construction. Thanks for the recommendation!

Bought one of these after watching it. Sorted through the whole rack based on your advise in previous videos. Made a fun project, and is absolutely a handy tool around my property.

I'm enjoying this video as I scrape, sand, and sharpen my harbor freight hand axe. I'm very thankful for this wonderful budget option that I can put some effort and love into and have a very useful tool. Thank you for your videos and honest opinion. God bless you and your family.

Great Stuff Cody! "I like it because its not pretentious." "Its good enough." Those are the words of a confident, man who knows exactly what he is about. Holy Spirit is working in you my friend. (Can I call you that?) Where did you buy your multi-cam ball-cap? Looks sturdy. I've been looking for same and another in OD. Subdued flag patch a must. Blessings

Love these videos bud. Keep up the good work

Love the videos mate. Just a hint for river crossings. There are many techniques but one of the best is standing in a line facing up stream with hands on the person in fronts shoulders and the very front person bracing with a stick/paddle. The idea being the upstream person faces the brunt of the water force but breaking the water for those downstream whose job it is to hold down and support the person in front. The front person makes the calls for example yelling ‘step’ and everyone takes a step over. Great for families as Dad can go at the front and break the current for the young ones. I’m an Australian living in Alaska and have loved the channel!

Love these Videos. Thanks. I went to Harbor Freight yesterday to buy the ax. I told the guy I saw a youtube video about it. They were all out. They did have the pruning saw. Today I went to walmart. They have a similar one. They also have a pruning saw. They are the Ozark brand. Looked pretty good. I will wait for the HF one.
