KNIFE-MAKING TUTORIAL

This is hands-down the best tutorial I have come across on this subject. Greenpete does an outstanding job of illustrating the entire knife-making process, and also throws in some handy tricks of his own. Making my own bushcraft knife is on my to-do list, and I hope to delve into the project when spring comes around. Thank you Greenpete for providing such a useful video to assist those of us with this interest. (And for free, no less!)

LOG SPLITTING WITH A SMALL AXE

This very informative video teaches an effective wedging method for managing unwieldy logs. I've used similar techniques with a hatchet to split fire logs, though admittedly I've yet to attempt anything quite so big.
