Survival Skills: Firemaking in Snow, Part 3
PART 3 of 5: A complete series of videos by Nutnfancy and my friend chronicling firemaking in cold and snowy conditions using backpacking equipment only. The series shows the scenery, adventure, survival philosophy, gear observations, our standard joking around, and the good times with long time friend BuggetNuster (YouTube name) and Allie the Mountain Dog. We hiked into the snowy and cold Rocky Mountain bivouac location I had chosen earlier for my Wilderness Lean-To series of videos. A few …

the difference in weight between the small hatchets and for example the fiskars chopping ax is not that much because the handle is light weight. if you know what your doing axes are so easy to use.
im glad you have sence enough to use a hatchet though
If you can, put the wood on a harder surface or even the stump you took the wood from.
One of my favorites was, “Remember, you may have to grow old, but you don’t have to mature.” = ) — Veri (Nutn’s sister)
@nutnfancy thats a red green quote, lol that guy was awesome, got order of canada i beleive, too bad that show ain’t on tv anymore
Well, if you can’t be handy, you can at least be handsome..or visa versa. — Veri (Nutn’s sister)
Hey Red Green is a saint! but still love you video’s
Wow B was smashing that log at the end, or as Nutn says it: “Yeah, thump that thing.”
You’re an idiot.
axes are generally just too heavy to carry. i think that a better tool to cut wood with is a hatchet. it works very well for me and i still dont have to use a knife.
i think the great thing about nutnfancys reviews are that he shows us the mistakes he makes so that we dont have to make that same mistake when we find ourselves in a similar situation
lol at the end when he’s like “MAMA…good”
your an idiot for spelling like a 6 year old
Saws & knives vs. axes. Saws waste less wood when cutting. But saws take a lot of energy. Saw blades do break. A quality survival axe won’t break and doesn’t require wd40. Save your knife for processing food and making tools. Get a good survival axe and save yourself some weight, time, and headache. Gerber makes a great one. Split wood with a knife if you must, but you don’t need to with the proper tools.
Damn dude, find anything else to bitch about?
Lots of Respect for the work you do.. Really good reviews.. sometimes a bit longer than needed but good…
But WTF is up with all the Dude stuff.. Dude dude Dude Dude… What are you 12… Oh then add the holmes and the freaking Homo jokes.. Come on… Gear reviews fine but calling somebody cause you dont like there gear.. Weak.
Watch the first part it says it towards the begginging of the segment!
what kinda boots is buggetnuster wearing?
I never thought about usin WD 40 while sawin like this. Im definitely goina start usin some.
How are they racist for not having any black people in their videos? There aren’t a lot of people in the videos to start with. Do you always accuse two people of the same race to be racist when they are hanging out together? Do you expect him to go out and recruit at least one friend of every race? I’m sure geographical distribution has largely to do with it.
Weight son….weight. A small hatchet weighs a good 2-4lbs or more, those knives weight a fraction of it and take up half to 1/2rd of the space.
make wood wedges – much easier when splitting knotty logs
lol only two good friends would fist bump in celebration for breaking a long in half =) (about 7:45 in) I have done in and if you have ever done anything out in the middle of nowhere you will know what I am talking about. =)
11:31 is that a beer can in the background?!
What are B’s Gloves?
This isnt some politically correct affirmative action bullshit television show governed by the politics of the liberal media. tell me…how on earth does this man and his friend going out in the woods and making a fire imply racism to any degree? please explain.
