  • are you a fan of ray mears?

  • @iwalkedinawall

    It was Ray that go me into Bushcraft many years ago. I remember watching him in awe when he first came on to the TV.

  • i love this technique.. unfortunately everytime i've tried it i just snap the log in two :(

  • @blinkvirus

    Turn the log over 90 degress and it should split the log.

  • @Twacool Even if that was true, where do you think they all go the info? He is here teaching you completely free of charge. Seems you don't appreciate it so, you are no longer obligated to watch. I release you of that reponsibility. Better?

  • Can a folding saw replace a knife? I know an axe can depending on your skill level

  • i suggest 70 strokes per minute with a saw as that will stop your arm tiring, matches (more or less) your heart beat and means the full blade is used

  • so much more energy to saw all your firewood!

  • Good vid but I also have to disagree ,

    You say you like to travel light, yet you have the intension of processing wood for a fire or shelter on your travels .

    If there is a need to do this then carry appropriate tools food clothing ect

    Get a good small hatchet .

    I swear by them

  • That is fantastic. I have never heard of this or seen it. Would someone have told me, I wouldn't have believed them.

  • @Twacool Where do you think those bushmen got their knowledge from? Knowledge cycles around.

  • I like the concept of carrying just the folding saw and a sturdy knife. lighter then an axe and more versatile. Never thought about the splitting technique, it works good, I'll have to remember that.

  • This guy is a idiot he just recycles more knolagable bushmens info he should just leave links to the vidios he watched
