AXES
An ax is a must when traveling into cold-weather environments. It can be used to fell a tree, cut poles, or split wood. Should a large fire be required, the ax enables you to obtain the larger dead wood necessary to sustain a fire. Rhythm, rather than brute force, is the key to properly using an ax. The last thing you want is a broken handle caused by a misguided forceful swing. The weight of a properly aimed ax is all that is required to get the job done.
Felling Trees
If possible, always fell the tree in the direction of its naturally occurring lean. For safety, make sure to clear all debris and obstacles from the area within the scope of your swing. Make the first cut—a wedge—on the tree’s downward-leaning side and as close to the ground as safely possible. The second cut should be on the opposite side, and just slightly higher than the first. Caution: Since trees often kick back at the last minute, make sure you have a clear escape route established. When cutting the tree’s limbs, start at the bottom, and always stand on the side of the tree that is opposite of the side you are working on.
