In the above video I look at bushcraft axe skills for safe and efficient backcountry firewood splitting when you have no chopping block.

Three essential backcountry axe techniques are demonstrated using popular Gransfors Bruk and Hultafors (Hults Bruk) axes in the very common lengths of "half-axe" and "three-quarter axe". Specifically, I use the Small Forest Axe, Scandinavian Forest Axe, Ekelund Hunting Axe and Qvarfot Felling Axe.

Despite the similarities between aspects of these axes, there are variations in technique required to get the most out of them.

I also discuss material selection, material processing and species of wood. All of these have a bearing on how these techniques work. There are also limitations and parameters to consider with each technique, both in terms of what is possible but also what is safe. I cover these aspects in detail. Context is king.
