A little trick when using a hand saw is using a tarp underneath the sawing of the log. All the work sawing and being able to use its sawdust will help start a fire quickly.
Hand axe for the win! I bring a saw and an axe with me every time I'm out in a winter environment. Cuts calorie expense down and doesn't need WD-40 :)
You're missing one of your best and easiest tools and you have it right in front of you. A wood wedge. You take that one piece of wedge shaped wood that naturally occurs when you break off the last part after sawing most of the way though and use it to split the other wood. Start it with the knife, but instead of fighting with it when the blade gets bound up, put that wedge in there and continue pounding.
@SignedSign he could have brought a chainsaw too but i think the point is to keep weight down. you can use a big knife to do alot of things in the bush and in a survival situation. lugging around an axe just for wood processing wastes alot of calories and will slow you down. why carry a couple tools that can perform the same task? also, i think hes testing different makes and models in winter conditions. the knives their using might not be their "ideal" batoning blades.
I have read on the comments that Nutn is homophobic from the way he is joking with his buddy. Maybe he is maybe he is not. But from my own personal experience guys joking like that between friends is just that, a joke! I have gay friends and even they joke around like that!. Not a big deal. All you folks out there complaining quit your PC crap and just enjoy the videos!
dudes i would recomend u bring a small hatchet with ya for the spliting prosses. now im not sayin anythin against usin the knives and such but sometimes its just easier and uses much less energey to use an ax then a knife or longer blade of some sort. keep up the "wild" vids. yes i know very bad pun
unless you haven't seen it yet, Sawvivor is making a 18 in and 15in models.not sure which you are using, but if it's the 15in you might want to consider upgrading. (just thinking about the commentary around the start of this vid) great job, love your videos.
It's the Sawvivor Amazon has them for about $30. I bought it (damn you Nutn!) and it rocks! Feather-light and aggressive on the cut. Worth the money for sure.
@stopt1me, they are hardly saying anything that horrible, these videos are not for kids... I'd imagine the knife usage is much worse for a child's psyche then the word "pisses", television is much worse for kids than any of this.
@mudvayne609 They're not "anti-gay" remarks. Stop being so sensitive. Men use these terms as a joke because they don't want to be seen as weak or effeminate. Not to say that all gay men are weak or effeminate, that's ridiculous. But, that is the image most men envision with that term. It would be the same thing if they said,"I don't want to look like a girl." Let's face it, many gay men are effeminate and proud of it so, you should'nt be offended.
@JeffSal999 Axe sucks on cross-cuts deep in the woods during winter. You spend much more energy swinging an axe vs. just sawing right through it not to mention the carry weight. Splitting the wood though could have been made a bit easier with something like an ESEE Junglas vs. the smaller knives they were using back when this video was published. The Junglas was not available back then. Miles into the woods, a sawvivor, a Junglas, and a couple small pocket knives is the best way to go.
hi there nutn i loved this video i live in scotland so trying to make a fire in scotland is hard as it is usually raining and 17degrees thats freakin warm dude right now we r in january and is -7 the worst it was allwinter was -24 anyway keep the vids cumming and and always another awsome video for the awsome nutnfancy
You need a Fiskars axe with a fibreglass handle they are awesome and sharp and weigh next to nothing, possibly less than those combined selection of knives you got there.
I enjoy these videos but homo comments are lowering peoples opinion of you it would seem.
i love how you guys actually show the sheer amount of work that goes into preparing a fire in the out of doors people always seem to underestimate the importance of preparation when in the woods, jungle ,etc
@PrettyGreatStuff That's a good point. I was out hiking recently and was asked to provide the fire, now this meant me doing a ton of prep work. After a while my hiking buddy said "that's enough firewood" because the noise of sawing was getting on his nerves. What a dickhead, the firewood aint going to cut itself.
Oh, "RED GREEN SHOW" he is from Vermont not Can. Nowe if you wear Mil. Tec rip stop Pants lger then what you wear and then layer it with Long johns and wool pants work real well or long johns and pj pants and wool socks keeps you very warm. Oh, you also should say something about main areas that need to be protected (head feet hands)
ONE THOUGHT; not sure if it is because you are nearing the end of your career, but it seems you are not nearly as careful to abstain from profanity, even things like "pisses me off". Please remember that the early Nutnfancy persona is what brought you to this dance, and you have a huge following of kids. Many of us would not want our kids watching videos of folks even mildly cursing. The rest of us are all grown up, many vets, but kids in the audience are the lowest common denominator.
Iv cut my self few times quite bad when i was trying to get my blade out from the log i was splitting. I used smaller knives tho, i dont know if thats an issue with larger blades, but be carefull.
I'm a 25 year old city woman who has been watching your videos, and learning so much! I live in Colorado, and watching these videos really inspires me to go out and experience the beauty of my state, and learn to be more self reliant. However, I do have to say that the "gay" comments are troubling and distracting.
@KaraokeMary It's humor. When I showed this to my friends (who happen to be homosexual) they were laughing their asses off. It's not a big deal to a lot of gay people when two het guys joke about one being gay. It would be like myself (IQ136)and my friend in mensa (Iq 141) joking about one of us being retarded. You know why it's funny? it's taking something they are obviously not and saying they are and then when you compare the statement to the reality it's funny. It's not a bag on gay people.
@Daytonaman675 Yes, thank you. I am, oddly enough, familiar with the concept of humor. However, I'd think someone with an IQ of 136 might be aware of the finer nuances of derogatory humor (i.e. the implication that being "homo" is an insult). Many, for instance, find the term "retarded" offensive. I'm afraid I simply don't find it funny, only distracting and slightly unsettling. Apologies if I sound caustic, but as a Mensa member myself, I become annoyed when people talk to me like a child.
@Kylef7735 I'm pretty sure I expressed in my original comment that I WAS learning a lot and dealing with it. But I also think that the common assumption with these videos is that only men with a conservative political stance are interested in this subject matter. I wanted to say that I am a (socially) liberal woman who is just as interested and happy to have the chance to learn, but when things like that crop up, it subtracts from it.
"Go away" isn't that inspiring, FYI. What do you care?
@AidanMaybe The PC fad ended in the 90s, so they say queer or homo every now and then, there's nothing malicious about it. It's just two old friends making fun of eachother using the language that was standard from their youth.
It's guys like these that are completely screwing up the forest. Is that WD40?! Survival skills?! Really. I don't find it funny at all - probably because these guys seem serious about what they're doing. Have I missed something?
I know I have said this on other reviews. but i just do not see the advantage of batoning to using a small axe. it took two people and a lot of effort to chop a small amount of wood. to each there own i guess. Keep up the good work. have become a huge fan of TNP.
its good videos guys but ive been trying to learn survival skills were i would find myself stuck somewhere without any technology or gear how would you make a fire then?
Hey nutn, i got a question for ya. i own a Winchester bowie knife, very sharp and i love this knife13 inches overall, and ultra sharp once i took my chef's knife sharpener to it, and it can cleave right through sticks and twigs, its 400 stainless, do you reccomend using that type of steel for batoning? or should i just carry my hatchet? Thanks for your input!
Looks like a waist of energy to cut all those logs so small. I think I would have cut them in six foot lengths and burned them in half and then just flipped the halves into the fire.
it is always great to have team mate with you out in the wild, make the work go quicker and adds an addition layer of security. both are military and your familarity shows in the footage .. just allitte much of the sawing lol .. yes it did demonstrate the reality of an outing. made me alugh alot .. Allie reminds me so much of my dog, Maxx , who passed a few years back. loved to camp and rough it in new areas, made friends where ever he went. great vids dudes
cool video as always but what got to me was Allie. My black lab loved the snow as well but passed away not too long ago. She seems like a great dog, labs are the best!
Lovin what you guys are doin, havin a really good time out there. just something i use when battonong with a knife.it can sometines take some of the effort out of going thru the bigger logs but using a wedge.knife in and wedge to follow. Mind you giving those knfes that much grief is great seeing what they can take.perhaps combine the two.Oh yeah one more you might like. try a bow saw, you can make one out of wood, it's light long and you'll save even more calories, packs flat. Thanks for post
thanks nutn you turned me on to using wd40 in the woods and now everybody in home depot gives me dirty looks when the 16 yr old asks where the wd40 is hahaha
That batoning looks like a lot of work. I agree that a good survival knife should be able to take the abuse, but I think I'd prefer a wood axe to sawing/batoning. To each his own I guess.
Why don't you care to carry a small campers axe? They weigh about 3-4 lbs. and are easily carried on your pack. You show it can obviously be done well with only a good knife-knives but it just seems like you could cut your labor in half with an axe. Great video! Thanks for posting.
hahah need a little smaller long to hit with at the end your firend hit the wood a little more then the knife haha good vid man i subscribed to hope to see lots more vids
dude nutn :) dont diss canada :P BC where im from we got nothin but trees its about a 10 min walk from my house to get into woods like where you are :P
Nutn! i need your help! i don't know which one i should get, the RAT7 or RD7?! you recommended both you said you love the RAT but you also gave the RD9 the RD7's bigger bro! i just don't know!
QUESTION: Besides being lazy, Would there be anything wrong to get a fire started with that easy wood you guys at the begging (1/2 ways thru the tree)... building up a good fire, and then just throwing the rest of the tree (by the middle part) in the already built up fire...instead of chopping the entire tree??? Not making fun, just trying to learn from y'all
good stuff there, but about the choice of knife steel i want to say that i like the cheap "spring steel" knifes for such hard work. yes they dont hold edge good at all, i have a smal fine grained grinding stone for that with me, BUT spring steel can take a LOT of punishment in ways of flexing and bending and it allways gets back to "neutral". its not hard but also in no way brittle so to say. and they are cheap!!! so if you loose one, you fork out 30 bucks and get a new one. keep it up good one!
when your knife gets binded up like that when spitting i find shoving a stick thats wider then the blade in there then forcing it down will open up the log enough to get your blade out
The best mountain buddy I ever had died years ago, but they are all anxious to get close and they always know whats going on before I do. I watch the dog!!! Whiskers :)
I'm sorry about your mountain buddy, my choc lab died years ago too, and now I have house buddies. I'm lucky to get a place in the bed, though..they DO like to cuddle! -- Veri
@nutnfancy rescued a choco lab!!!! This girl chases all the birds. So exited to start training...... she knows basic commands... but she cannot stay still when she scents...... it's on........... her name is "Hershey." She was obviously abused but we love her... she knows whats up....... BUDDY! Smiley dog here in TX.
@kd0bgz Oh kd, that is so awesome. Spend a lot of time with her and give her a while to settle down and you will never, ever regret it. Big *high five* for rescuing Hershey. =0 ) -- Veri

Fancy, you need to make a point about wool
It is THE ONLY fabric (that I know of) that when wet, will still insulate. Pretty sure that in a light rain, once a small layer of water is on it, it insulates BETTER!
It dries easily
Merino wool will not irritate your skin
I feel naked when I'm wearing it, it's so light.
There might be some other points to but I'm just making sure ppl know Wool is the cold weather KING!
more lube lol...lol never seen anything like this.just have to see all the episodes just love this loube spray guys. crazy .i would give you guys 6 days in the wild
For a saw, go look for a large arborist folding triming saw. It will fold into itself for safety, and you can get them up to a 10 inch blade. The teeth are offset, which will make the cut easier.
I notice the huge amount of WD40 you go through sawing. I also notice you spray both sides of the saw blade, and that you do it as you get to the center of the log. If you get a good cut in, and then spray the inside of the cut with lube, wouldn that be just as good?
I think he should have started cutting from the thick end of the log first when he was fresh with energy. It also takes less energy to hold on to the thinner part as you get to end because your using the weight of the tree as you go along.
also, i find that in the snow, ill just burn the logs in half. yes you still have to process maybe half a tree, but if you just do the top end, just burn the rest man, makes it way, way, way, less work.
@spiderpig85 - haha, actually, it depends on where you go in the US. Near me, we call those "beanies" or "stocking caps". My comment was a play on your comment so lets just agree to disagree.....eh?

@FlamingFury5 Not nearly as much of a pain in the ass as it is to carry a chainsaw.

You guys should really buy an axe to chop the wood.

@ZkerWel Too heavy to carry.

Lovin what you guys are doin, havin a really good time out there. just something i use when battonong with a knife.it can sometines take some of the effort out of going thru the bigger logs but using a wedge.knife in and wedge to follow. Mind you giving those knfes that much grief is great seeing what they can take.perhaps combine the two.Oh yeah one more you might like. try a bow saw, you can make one out of wood, it's light long and you'll save even more calories, packs flat. Thanks for post

That batoning looks like a lot of work. I agree that a good survival knife should be able to take the abuse, but I think I'd prefer a wood axe to sawing/batoning. To each his own I guess.

Why don't you care to carry a small campers axe? They weigh about 3-4 lbs. and are easily carried on your pack. You show it can obviously be done well with only a good knife-knives but it just seems like you could cut your labor in half with an axe. Great video! Thanks for posting.

splitting wood on the ground is hard work, most people put it on a block or a tree stump as its far left effort.
Bad technique......but Nice dog :)

QUESTION: Besides being lazy, Would there be anything wrong to get a fire started with that easy wood you guys at the begging (1/2 ways thru the tree)... building up a good fire, and then just throwing the rest of the tree (by the middle part) in the already built up fire...instead of chopping the entire tree??? Not making fun, just trying to learn from y'all
alfamax4562 1 year ago
good stuff there, but about the choice of knife steel i want to say that i like the cheap "spring steel" knifes for such hard work. yes they dont hold edge good at all, i have a smal fine grained grinding stone for that with me, BUT spring steel can take a LOT of punishment in ways of flexing and bending and it allways gets back to "neutral". its not hard but also in no way brittle so to say. and they are cheap!!! so if you loose one, you fork out 30 bucks and get a new one. keep it up good one!
Kraxn83 1 year ago
when your knife gets binded up like that when spitting i find shoving a stick thats wider then the blade in there then forcing it down will open up the log enough to get your blade out

@nutnfancy rescued a choco lab!!!! This girl chases all the birds. So exited to start training...... she knows basic commands... but she cannot stay still when she scents...... it's on........... her name is "Hershey."

Fancy, you need to make a point about wool
It is THE ONLY fabric (that I know of) that when wet, will still insulate. Pretty sure that in a light rain, once a small layer of water is on it, it insulates BETTER!
It dries easily
Merino wool will not irritate your skin
I feel naked when I'm wearing it, it's so light.
There might be some other points to but I'm just making sure ppl know Wool is the cold weather KING!

For a saw, go look for a large arborist folding triming saw. It will fold into itself for safety, and you can get them up to a 10 inch blade. The teeth are offset, which will make the cut easier.

marlo916 2 years ago
I notice the huge amount of WD40 you go through sawing. I also notice you spray both sides of the saw blade, and that you do it as you get to the center of the log. If you get a good cut in, and then spray the inside of the cut with lube, wouldn that be just as good?

I think he should have started cutting from the thick end of the log first when he was fresh with energy. It also takes less energy to hold on to the thinner part as you get to end because your using the weight of the tree as you go along.
tonyosvaldo 2 years ago
also, i find that in the snow, ill just burn the logs in half. yes you still have to process maybe half a tree, but if you just do the top end, just burn the rest man, makes it way, way, way, less work.
