iunno where this channel came from and know absolutely jack about survival, but the absolute sarcastic delivery at 4:01 of "Are you guys as optimistic as I am?" and just glancing back down killed me. subbed. E: due to said lack of experience in outdoor work in general, i think as for the ending it'd be super interesting to do those kinda niche but always interesting videos of trying to get "the most" you can out of those crappy and cheap survival kits on amazon that i've seen floating around!

I had a friend that was an artist and he loved to paint very abstract paintings,,, No one would buy them... He wondered why? so he asked me what I thought? I told him that its important to do things in life you love to do, yet one needs to eat and that costs money,, so maybe he should paint what people would be willing to buy..... So he started painting artwork that appealed to the mass.... he was successful in this financially as people enjoyed his art in that fashion. I see that your numbers of viewers increase when you have videos that interest the Mass... I can see you have figured that out tho...

the compilation of him throwing the axe made me laugh so hard for some reason

if i may ask, could you start doing the mens bible study i loved those

I use one of those scraper multitool cards simply to keep my wallet ridged. One day I was riding my bicycle and I actually used it to tighten a small nut on my bike. I had to get a small rock and sort of pound it right but it worked.

Cody, there is 1 small tool I take into the wild eveytime that is an absolute life saver and that is a Leatherman tool with a saw. I have used this extensively and while it doesnt fit in your wallet it is very small and has multiple life saving tools in 1 package. Of course I also have my GB small forest axe with me as well and that combination makes survival much more manageable. Love the video brother! God bless you and your family! Keep up the great work!

The saw edge is use to make a handle and to cut a slot to fix the blade. Cut the slot half way tru and tie with snare wire from your sos box.

I'm thinking a pet bushcraft beaver. It would cut would faster, good source of heat, can be thrown to distract/scare/feed as needed, can be converted into an emergency meal and a nice cap. Downside is, it will not fit in your wallet.

only pocket multi tool i use, is a stanly wallet card multi tool. bottle opener ive used a few times, flat head screw driver is perfect for paint tins not as a screwdriver, and the knife and saw come in handy for opening packages when i can be bothered getting a knife lol

I got one of these as a gift from a well meaning friend. filed set into the saw and hardened the cutting edge. Also put an edge on the broad head. It’s still not a go to tool but for something to always have in your wallet it’s not bad for 20 bucks.

Consider, if that was your only tool in a survival situation, (i.e. no knife or saw), you could use the axe blade to split the end of the stick just deep enough to contain the head. Then use your paracord, because we all carry that stuff, to bind it tightly to the stick.

Love how you so much confidence in the ineffectiveness of the survival axe that you leave $200+ Granfors stuck in the tree 4 inches from your target.

You should test a classic half hatchet, if you don't already have one laying around the Vaughan & Bushnell is only $20 new. Radius the straight edge before sharpening, and you've got one helluva utilitarian hatchet. The nice thin bit profile like you favor from GB, an actual hardened hammer poll, and that nail notch that's good for all kinds of things.

Love watching you test the [survival]tools, funny what they will try to sell you.

That little saw he’s using has been one of my favorites for a long time. Not too big but cuts fast

I built one once using a shoelace string and a stick (with the point) and I doubt it could cut down a tree but it still held up pretty well

I see you testing alot of novel items like these and it seems to me like there is definitely a potential for them to be good however it's like they took a good idea and carried to the "good enough" point to maintain a profit margin and marketability. However my first major concern with this product with that gut hook directly across from the hand saw. They put a blade where you have to grip the the thing to cut the wood to build your ax, in an orientation that is perfect for severing the webbing of your thumb and index finger no less.

I don't know about for your main survival tool but that would be an excellent secondary little tool and a great little defensive weapon against anything trying to make you prey!

Cody at 5:05 min - I'm not going anywhere without you clicking thumbs up... Me - I did that 5:06 min ago already. Wranglerstar is a default thumbs up channel. And so far, I have not been disappointed. Not even once. Keep up the good work. Edit: Typo in the name...

Love seeing these tool test videos!

The triangle edge is used as spearhead for hunting

Nice cutting edge to put in the altoid box

Sure it cuts a 3" tree. On the other hand, even the small Victorinox wood saws you get on walker, camper models etc. will do that too. Faster, with less effort and without additional tools like a handle or fastening. Some things are easier with chopping tools. Best to have them all. ^^ If I had to choose one, I'd much rather go with the pocket knife though. Still an interesting option, thanks for showing it! :-)

I understand the point and intention of tools like this. Still, anyone intending to use an axe in the backwoods would be well served by taking a 36" Fiskars X27 with them, it's a reasonably light axe with the option for shorter handled versions with the same head. You can save a TON of energy by falling a tree or processing a downed tree with a 'light' & full sized axe compared to a micro axe/ tool. One real advantage is that it's readily available for in store pickup across the US. At minimum a Fiskars X7 Hatchet should be packed since it is very handy, even with it's limited uses due to it's light head and short handle. Plastic fantastic stuff, sure, and it's not unbreakable but I seriously doubt it would be an issue. I've been using a few different ones to clear overgrowth and for removing stumps, with the worst wear being a slightly chipped cutting edge (expected, due to hitting unseen rocks with some force)

You are surprisingly optimistic in this video. I really wonder if anyone ever found themself in a situation of being lost in the forest without real tools and actually had to use a wallet gadget like this as their only option. It would undoubtedly be better than absolutely no tools at all.. but just a victorinox and a regular lighter would be miles better and make for a very viable EDC option without taking up precious wallet space. If you absolutely have to have some sort of wallet survival kit, I think putting a razor blade and some fishing line + hook into a flat pack of matches would serve you way better in a real situation.

These are fun videos. Thanks for all your hard work!

I always get a happy feeling when he laughs

Been enjoying the survival tool videos. Would like to see some axe informational videos such as proper care, sharpening, and what to look for when buying a new axe. I know you like Gransfors Bruks but have you ever tried Helko Werk?

Liked the nod to last of the Mohecans and the cover to promontory.

My favorite wallet survival card is the one where it's a bunch of different fishing hooks and a little fishing spear which seem way more actually useful than these pocket axe type deals.

For a $20, never-left-behind-'cause-you-forgot-you-have-it-in-your-wallet-backup, I think it did pretty well. For one thing, I don't tend to carry cable ties ... but I do tend to carry wire. Lashing the axe and spearpoint to the handle with wire, especially if you sniped it snug, would have been at least as strong, and would have added weight to the working end. Likely would have made it a bit more effective. I have to agree with you about the "saw" they usually include on these sort of things, though ... of course, with a bit of time, a good vise and a decent set of files, that usually isn't that hard to fix.

The idea you built it with the actual proper tools is hilarious. Keep doing it!

I absolutely love the idea of this. The execution obviously needs some work, but the potential is very exciting. There are many places where you can't or wouldn't carry an axe with you. Planes come to mind, though I'm not sure if they'd allow this. In any case, this can go places a real axe can't. It's literally so small and simple that you could keep it on your person permanently and be at least somewhat prepared in a situation where you have nothing but the clothes on your back. If I ever have the tools and know-how I'd like to make a more functional version, with less gimmicks. Ditch the tomahawk point and make the back a solid piece and you should be able to stick a finger through and get a better grip, not to mention you'd be able to secure it with almost any wire, string, vine, what-have-you. Put some real saw teeth on there and it would be a small, pitiful saw, but it would work. Maybe make it thicker so you can split small branches.

I'd like to see a genuine axe head that used a modified fold out saw as a handle, with a fold out knife as a handle extension. Something that could fit into a 4×4×1 inch bag, or similar. It doesn't have to be better then the trio of separate tools, it would just need to be adequate for a survival situation, something you could throw in the glovebox and forget about until SHTF. I know you could draft up something like that with a machinist, and get it done custom. But I want a company to pick up this idea and actually sell it for a reasonable price.

"I suppose it's possible to do all of these things we're about to do with the pocket axe given enough time. It's also possible to learn Mandarin." lol

This man is the first person who ever told me they wouldn't continue until I liked the video lmao. It worked, I wasn't about to risk not finding out how this goes.

These survival tool videos are actually quite entertaining

love these so much! keep it up bro
