    Make sure you don’t get a splinter .

    Bro, if you don’t have a ax, you could’ve not made it

  3. @BigDave71 on March 17, 2025 at 12:52 am

    There is a safer way to process that wood down to kindling with only that axe. What he was doing is so unsafe. Especially when cold , tired and hungry. I was afraid he would lose the use of hand

  4. @PoTat-xp4cb on March 17, 2025 at 12:52 am

    What happens if you live somewhere where water periodically falls froms the sky rendering the wood damp. How does one dry such wood in the wild?

  5. @necolereed2308 on March 17, 2025 at 12:52 am

    What fire starter did you use? I need tobmake several purchases.

    I used to lead hiking trips for middle schoolers and the week before we left on our first trip they got really proficient at making fires, so we told them if they could carry in their firewood on the trips, they could continue to have a fire every night of the summer. So they did! Between the 12 of them they carried all of their gear + no less than 50lbs of firewood on each of our short 3 day trips. Successfully had a fire every single night for 8 weeks; rain or shine they made it happen.

    Theres a good chance that people who cant start a fire, probably shouldn’t handle an axe

  8. @jrgreatwhite on March 17, 2025 at 12:53 am

    I just grab a bunch of pine cones, dead spruce or fir trees small branches, pine needles or birch bark, don’t think I have ever bother to split any wood for kindling

    Best campfire video

  10. @dm75thRanger on March 17, 2025 at 12:57 am

    Your knife and ax skills are terrible.

  11. @tylerarnold943 on March 17, 2025 at 12:58 am

    Ohhh that jack pine.

  12. @MtnDewWarrior on March 17, 2025 at 12:58 am

    Good fire wood is a cheat code also. Makes it super easy to get going

  13. @autumnstoptwo on March 17, 2025 at 1:01 am

    ahh yes, i too love to start my fires in a bed of poison hemlock

  14. @Milan_outdoors on March 17, 2025 at 1:01 am

    goood job

  15. @drivingmissmolly on March 17, 2025 at 1:02 am

    Tip for splitting larger logs if you only have a small hatchet and a knife, find a thick, sturdy branch and cut it down to about forearm length, then chop/carve one end into a wedge shape (not a point like a spear). Take a few swings at the log with your hatchet to make a small crack, get that wooden wedge in there, the pound it in with the back of your hatchet, or a heavy rock. Works pretty damn well and you can create as many as you need if one wedge doesn’t do the trick. Also really helps for knotty logs. Once you get them down into reasonable sized pieces, you can split them with your hatchet like normal. Done this plenty of times and even with super wet wood the very core of it is almost always nearly, if not completely, dry. Done this with wood many times at the PNW coast and it’s hard to find dry wood out there, let alone standing dead trees that are small enough to take down with a hatchet.

    i didnt know TJ Miller was an outdoorsman

  17. @gcrumpley on March 17, 2025 at 1:05 am

    $228 knife that looks like a $40 BPS Adventure knife that works just as well 🙄

  18. @oliverportillo3464 on March 17, 2025 at 1:05 am

    I’ll just torch the log till it’s lit😂

  19. @mr.pavone9719 on March 17, 2025 at 1:10 am

    This guy: Gives good advice

    Idiots on the Internet: "I gotta bring a 36" bar chainsaw, 5 gallons of gas and i should cut down 3 trees in the State campground while my son revs the engine on my Ford Superduty 999."

  20. @WULDORI on March 17, 2025 at 1:11 am

    in a survival situation it is best to master making the biggest birdnest you possibly can, in as short a time as possible. dry grass, inner bark shreddings and pocket lint will do you good with a hard rock and a high-carbon steel.

    ["better start from the top= no smoke."]

  22. @JonasYounts on March 17, 2025 at 1:12 am

    I hate starting fires around people that know nothing about making fires and then they constantly ask if I need help 😑

  23. @Scray-k4c on March 17, 2025 at 1:14 am

    This is positively ridiculous.

  24. @danielgalan2321 on March 17, 2025 at 1:15 am

    This video is useful given that you have the right wood and it’s is not moist.

  25. @janzam on March 17, 2025 at 1:17 am

    Why to beate the knife when you have an axe?

  26. @jungleebushcraft on March 17, 2025 at 1:18 am

    Too many people ❓
    Give me some names…

    "Instead of making use of readily available chemical accelerants, just bring a piece of technology outmoded over 300 years ago and chop it to scale!"

    Do mfers really?

  28. @melissakilgore318 on March 17, 2025 at 1:18 am

    Good tip or you could use a hammer in the back of a hammer

  29. @keeshoogtevrees-jv9ps on March 17, 2025 at 1:18 am

    The best video I’ve ever seen😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  30. @DanLover87 on March 17, 2025 at 1:18 am

    Jesus christ this is basic. Does the thought ever cross your mind "maybe i dont need to make a youtube channel"?

  31. @SykotikShadow on March 17, 2025 at 1:20 am

    I do construction and on really cold days im always the one asked to go the fire started so we can warm up from time to time. Wet wood or dry wood, i have it down to a science like this. I recently done the same with some candle wax mixed with some stick shavings(used from a pencil sharpener) in the same candle jar. Thatll stay lit for a good while.

  32. @liamcallus1969 on March 17, 2025 at 1:22 am

    or just pick up some small sticks lol

  33. @fleebflorb5055 on March 17, 2025 at 1:22 am

    Nah I have a kerosene lantern anyway so I just pour some on there and light it, way easier

  34. @leobriseno5607 on March 17, 2025 at 1:25 am

    What kind of hatchet is that

  35. @JP-rc2er on March 17, 2025 at 1:25 am

    To many short videos build the Wong camp fire. 😂

  36. @bedlambelle on March 17, 2025 at 1:26 am

    or you could find Some sticks

  37. @gerardmorton8517 on March 17, 2025 at 1:27 am

    Thank you 👍

  38. @DanielMejia-w6p on March 17, 2025 at 1:28 am

    Thanks mate

  39. @avengerking4022 on March 17, 2025 at 1:30 am

    Fire gel is easier lol

  40. @SimirJohnson on March 17, 2025 at 1:31 am

    Bring a Duralog

  41. @philipglover5163 on March 17, 2025 at 1:35 am

    THATS A HATCHET

  42. @geraldhenrickson7472 on March 17, 2025 at 1:39 am

    It would seem less that prudent to split wood with your inner thighs and/or knees immediately adjacent. You could easily bleed out while phoning for help.

  43. @lyntonfleming on March 17, 2025 at 1:39 am

    When the wood cutting is louder than the information, you’ve failed to make an informational video.

  44. @mrcrawfordiscool on March 17, 2025 at 1:40 am

    Remember to bring your kiln dried wood guys…

  45. @Enyaw58 on March 17, 2025 at 1:41 am

    For me it’s not that too many people don’t know the best way to prepare wood and make fires, it’s the amount of people that think if you put a flame to a chunk of wood it’ll immediately ignite.

  46. @jamesbrockett6045 on March 17, 2025 at 1:42 am

    Just use your hatchet/axe to split the smaller kindling…….

  47. @JohnBrown-y6v on March 17, 2025 at 1:43 am

    boy thats some properly seasoned fire wood you got there

  48. @csjs5186 on March 17, 2025 at 1:44 am

    Surrounded by flammable leaves and ground cover – not smart.

  49. @BigReen11 on March 17, 2025 at 1:44 am

    What if you don’t have a fire starter necklace

  50. @JamesBowser-k9t on March 17, 2025 at 1:47 am

    Grimepop is shortpop. Not like a chain of post-emos…
