Agreed. But it also seems to wear the user out quick in videos. I don't expect Dan to use a BC to a greater effect than a Sasquatch. But I don't expect your average person to chop as well as Dan. Even Dan's friend using it who clearly has some instruction directly from Dan has trouble handling it. The thing is clearly a beast.

In my experience mass has limits. It pushes the envelope of an individuals strength and technique. Here more isn't always better.

That's why I was saying I think the average person would do better with the BC, not that the BC is the better Chopper of the two with regards to outright performace.

Personally I'd take an axe to fell a tree. Watching his friend land those wonky hits makes my wrists hurt.

JMHO!

I agree with you overall Justin ... BUT ! (haha) I'm 5'7" and 145 lbs. I'm fit but not some body builder or whatever. I swung that Sasquatch for a good while and it was not bad at all. IIRC it only weighs like 2.2 lbs or something stupidly light for its size.

I think the biggest factor here is technique. I have been swinging blades around the last few years and I would like to say I know what I am doing. I think Dan's mate was a newbie, hence the poorly angled chops and cringe moments where I thought he was gonna break his wrists (especially on the Super Assassin video)

I'm not all that much bigger. About 5'11" 175. I've been using an axe cutting firewood as long as I remember. I don't even use a big splitting maul even on huge cedar rounds. I prefer just to hit the same spot twice and not have the mass. But big knives are very new to me.

I agree about wrists. As I said in my previous post.

I'm 37 and still wearing a leather belt I got when I was 16. Same hole too. Just a little less muscle and a little more fat. Still lean and mean. No sports and all work make for less conditioning than I used to have. :oops:
 
^ on next BD = new leather belt (tactikool if you'd prefer) in addition to a cellular plan GB increase gift card :)
 
^^.. Rub it in..

I have focused on a more long term survival strategy. I figure I have 6-8 months food supply on me at all times. If the world ends, I won't have to worry about food for a while. Between that and a life-straw.. I'm good to go.

Gotta think ahead bro.. this short sighted " i still use the same belt hole" mentality is gonna come back to bite you! It's not too late! Hit the cheescake!
 
^ unless you happen to share DNA with a camel (I mean it in a literal sense!) you can not live off of your own excess fat storage! It just doesn't work that way unless you are planning on cuddling yourself to sleep in extremely cold conditions :p

I just ordered a new belt a couple weeks ago, hope it comes soon! I'm loyal to those things that serve me well.

My plan has 6GB and has to add 2GB again this month. Probably cause I'm never on wifi.

Sugar is my weakness, but 6-8 months?!! I think it's time for some PT!
 
^ and that darn sugar from processed foods is the worst of the worst! Worse than fats and worse than salts. Spikes up your insulin levels and turns into the worst kind of stored fat through metabolical alchemy!

I know you are joking but having extra body fat seriously has many benefits, especially in a survival situation. I literally cannot put on fat so i'm SOL.

Casinostocks Casinostocks i'll eat you in a minute if you keep flapping your gums!

When I was your age I was like that too.

But time changes that my friend.

I'm well aware! My dad is a fat ass now so I make sure to run every morning as well as BJJ classes at night so I don't end up like him (lol). BJJ is great because it's something I can continue doing ...well, until I die. Nothing gets the blood pumping and sweat dripping like a bunch of 40+ year old men squashing you for 2 hours a night!
