survival-knife-for-batoning[1].jpg

Hello Friends,

I have been into bushcraft for almost 20 years and, surprisingly, just found out about /out/ one month ago! I have seen some threads about batoning, which is one of my favorite ways to split wood in a minimalist bushcraft situation.

It truly is an art and, while I broke two knives when I first started, if you have proper guidance and put in the time to gain experience, you'll realize how superior it actually can be (depending on the situation). I was very disappointed to see posts denigrated batoning as a joke or "meme", it's simply not true.

I have been seriously considering starting a non-profit organization for the online teaching of bushcraft, specifically batoning, machete use, and other blade-related bushcraftery.

I just want to gauge what the enthusiasm would be for a nascent National Association for Machete and Batoning Learning and Activities (tentative name). Any suggestions are welcome, I'm going to look into purchasing a domain shortly.

Thanks and what a great community this is!

You can't baton with a sub $500 dollar knife anything less than s3v scandi grind and expect it not to break when you baton it with your axe.

It's pretty pointless, just take an axe with you. Knives are for cleaning game and light bushcraft.

i have to beg to differ. if the knife is destroyed it was not a remotely good knife. it had bad design crap steel and crap heat treat.

as far as I can tell it's a competition on youtube where goys try their best to brake their knives using logs, rocks and axes. Honorable mentions are given to those who get the knife stuck in a log.

Why would you split wood in the woods. Why wouldn't you just grab wood that was the right size for the job
>>
>>1037786
You don't need to chop that piece
>>
>>1038393
But it is winter and it is raining for 3 years straight and all the small wood is wet and frozen because everything is submerged under a lake now and and and and and and....

https://youtu.be/6FzvWYZ7mw0 this thing is amazing

Batoning to me seems like a very intuitive strategy, as it saves you the need for carrying a hatchet. One less tool: sounds good!

...but I've broken too many knives batoning... Never again!
>>
>>1038810

That sucks. I been batoning for yrs, daily wood processing in the fall and winter time for my wood stove, I've never had an issue uanless it was a stick or rat tail tang.
>>
>>1037754
Why Baton?
You forgot or broke your axe thats it.
It puts too much stress on a blade for every day use.

>>
>>1038867

I warm my house up by fire wood, so yes, I do it daily. Batoning is nothing new, has been in books since the 1920s. Go be a retard else where, faggot.

what idiot cuts wood daily for the house?
you're supposed to cut a bunch in summer/spring so it dries out for winter

what gives you incentive to lie on the internet?

Faggot doesn't know he needs to hit the wedge with the edge of the ax.

Maybe register bait.com or some-people-baton-get-over-it.org?
>>
>>1037975
The application of your knife as a wedge to split wood that is of much smaller diameter than your knife blade length.

If you are a spaghetti armed sperg, like the fucker living in Ohio pasting these bait threads, and you can't just push the knife through manually, you apply more force by using another piece of wood to knock on the knife used as an edge.
>>
>>1037754
why not just get a hatchet?
>>
>>1040150
That's cheating

>>1040150
you can baton a hatchet no problems
