The Man From Alaska

The Man From Alaska

I am an Alaskan recently transplanted to the lower 48 during the summer of '09. Sometimes that confuses people with my title, but I guess that the name is more fitting now as I am "The Man From Alaska" not the Man In Alaska anymore. Alaska will always be my home and since we still have our land there will we likely be spending half of the year there and half here.

I am an avid outdoor enthusiast with an interest in video. I have been a photographer for many years but video is new to me. I am still in the learning process but am enjoying it.

    Most large knife youtubers are processing baby 💩 soft woods like pine. A large blade is fine for that but try taking down a dead standing oak/harder wood tree for fuel wood. Chopping with a large knife is slow & painful. Axe or tomahawk is way better (or a saw) splitting harder wood is the same.

  • @geoffdilley8057
    @geoffdilley80575 жыл бұрын

    Your readout won't find the center for you unless you did your boring on the mill and maintaned the center at xy.0000. Otherwise, you have to find the center of what you're drilling or milling with a center finder or an indicator, moving the x and y. Once you manually find the center, zero out the x and y on your readout. When you're in the bolt circle function the value will be all 0.0000 for the center. That is the point it uses to trig the bolt pattern with the diameter and number of holes you enter.

    Hi, have been a viewer about 5 years. Why can`t I find the videos of your hiking into the Monongahela Nat`l Forest videos w/ your cool dog. Regarding smoking popes, I tend to use a corn cob. I have made them by hand in the past, but, they tend on kind of absorbing spit and taste bad after a while. I pay about $3 for a Missouri Meerschaum. Cheap, but I find that a bulk throw-together blend of tobacco works well in it. Be well, Joe

  • @johnstevens3282
    @johnstevens32827 жыл бұрын

    No offense, but this video misses the point of knife batoning. Most of the time an axe is best tool for the job. Of course an axe works better when you're at home, or when you're at a campsite that you drove to, when your logs have flat cuts and solid ground to stand them on, or any time you that you don't have to carry the tools in a pack. A knife has to be very big to come close to the weight of a small axe, and the knife has other utilities. Pounds of weight saved in a pack = more food and water. Batoning with a large survival knife makes sense if you're going to hike up a snow covered mountain, you can baton split wood without digging down thru several feet of snow, do that with an axe. It makes sense if you're kayak camping and doing portages. If weight doesn't matter, take an axe every time.

Now my instructions showing me how to do a bolt hole had me put in 30 degrees for the start angle and 300 for the end with 5 holes. WHERE did the 300 come from? If you know I would appreciate how they came up with it.

    Ordered the CRKT chogan woods hawk. It will be my first hawk. Im very familiar with hatchets, axes, large/small knives. I will always carry a knife, but I plan to practice to hone my skills with a hawk, then at least I can preserve the edge on my knife longer, only using it for fine carving tasks that I cannot do with my hawk. By myself, I carry my folding saw, my hatchet, and my large knife, if my wife joins me, she'll carry a mid size knife and a 3 1/2 lb felling axe, which makes sense to me..
