Cutting down trees with a Mora

That is amazing! Axe schmax!

I would not have thought the handle on that would take that kind of pounding. Very impressive.
 
Cody Lundin covers that first technique in 98.6 degrees: The Art of Keeping Your Ass Alive!. Using a (What else?!) Mora !

Not saying you stole the idea or anything. Just stating it for anyone else who loves that book as much as I do. ;)

Good video though. The second technique is pretty interesting.
 
I can tell you where I learned both techniques. I took a class from Mors Kochanski. He covers this and alot of other info in his book Northern Bushcraft.
 
I know he is hated and reviled here, but Bear Grylls does it all the time. I tried it myself after seeing him do it with a small knife. I did it with a Mora 2000. It wasn't hard at all. It's amazing what a little technique can accomplish with minimal tools. Good video. :thumbup:
 
I think the tree was pre-cut and this was a hoax. A lil' ol' Mora could NEVER do that! Just kidding another great video from a real woodsman. *tips hat*
 
Without getting into a messy "pro baton vs. anti baton" camp debate, what are thoughts on abuse here?

The knife is not being flexed by knots in the grain, so it may be safer?
