5. What happend to the fish you caught?

6. Why do you sometimes hit with the side of the axe instead of the poll?
Keeps the cutting edge away from you're face and the larger surface area makes you less likely to miss. I usually only use the side of the axe in the beginning (when things can be unstable and or I don't need to hit hard).

Birch burl. Homemade.

11. Where did you get the deer meat from?
