In this video I compare commonly carried tools, demonstrate the capabilities and discuss what can be realistically accomplished with each.

While I would absolutely not consider myself a survival expert (whatever that means anyway) I do have experience using most of these tools day to day professionally for my work and therefore know what they are capable of, as well as pretty general camping and outdoors experience.

If you disagree with any points made, please provide a source or make your own video! This creates productive discussion and confirms that the theory works in practice

Tools used in this video are:
Rinaldi 'sicilia' axe, 350gram head
Silky Gomboy Saw
Generic soviet army shovel
Cold Steel Bushman Knife
Victorinox folding knives, classic and rangergrip
Tramontina Bolo Machete
