Two for Two: Another Schrade Axe Broken in Cold Weather |
|
In July 2021, YouTube set all unlisted videos uploaded before 2017 to private (unless the channel owner had opted out). In the weeks leading up to this change, Archive Team archived many pre-2017 unlisted YouTube videos. If this video was uploaded before 2017 and has gone private, there is a chance that a 360p archived version can be viewed on archive.org via the site's Wayback Machine as follows: 1. Enter the YouTube URL in the Wayback Machine form or click on the following link: https://web.archive.org/web/20210000000000*/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDmpsvw1OEo 2. Right-click on a blue entry in July in the calendar. 3. Click 'Copy link address'. 4. Paste the copied link address into your web browser's address bar and press enter.
Description: Preparedmind101 continues the test of the Schrade SCAXE2 and tried to prove or disprove the theory that extreme old makes the otherwise extremely impact-resistant handle susceptible to breakage. Unfortunately, the theory pans out. Although the axe appeared to be fine at first, a simulated miss-hit at the suspected weak spot easily snaps the handle. Although not featured in this video, in the spirit of disclosure, PM101 friend Will also put one of these axes to the test and it did NOT break. However, Will did not do a simulated miss-hit on the weak spot. I show the test from start to finish, identify the obvious achilles heel (since the two axe breaks were identical) and offer suggestions for making this axe stronger. I finish up with my PERSONAL O-P-I-N-I-O-N on why I don't normally have an axe as part of my outdoor SURVIVAL gear...which will no doubt send a few people into fits.
