Product information "With an axe in the forest "
Axe lore
- All about axes and their use
- Processing green wood
- From the self-cut tree to the carved spoon
Few people today have any idea how to use an axe - let alone how to fell a tree themselves, limb it, split it into firewood, carve useful utensils from it or build simple shelters.
The author aims to provide readers with a solid grounding in axe use and important outdoor skills that can be useful not only to campers and nature lovers, but also to garden and forest owners, parents who want to inspire their children for the forest adventure playground and, last but not least, self-supporters, "preppers" and survival experts.
Starting with basic information on the selection and care of various axes, working techniques and safety tips, the wilderness expert describes in words and pictures the knowledge required to make the things that outdoor enthusiasts need themselves.
