Cutting Wrist Thick Trees Without Batoning

For many people who claim to be experts when it comes to what makes an ideal bushcraft knife, a key requirement is that the knife have a degree of ruggedness that allows the user to baton the knife with complete confidence that the knife will not break under such stress. While this is a great quality for a knife to have, such knives tend to be high in cost. Moreover, while heavy batoning is a useful way to split wood and take down wrist-thick trees, there are alternatives that are far more gentle on your knife. In this video I show how to take down wrist thick trees without batoning - and I even take one down with a pocket knife. Please like, subscribe, and hit the bell if you found this video interesting.
