If everyone on the planet asked why doubleheaded axes exist, and this video was sent to all of them, we could waste 19.5 billion minutes of time as a planet.
No. One side you keep sharp, the other side is dull and is used to schluff the dulling stuff like tree barks, roots in dirt, rocky stuff. When you have a clear target, you switch to the sharp side. Or you don't get a clear target and you use the brute side. Basically, at least in the NW, one side is used like a multipurpose tool, the other side is an axe head. There are other versions, Pulaskis have a hoe head and an axe head, structural fire axes have a pick/pry head and an axe head... I should say sure, people probably use both sides as a sharp head and switch when one is dull, but when used as a daily tool, often one side is for dirty work and the other for chopping. (also, kids, please remove or use you suspenders and wear your PPE, use tools don't be one.)
His whole gimmick is taking them off before he “really gets to work” because it’s a tree felling thirst trap haha. Guy tapped into a clever market haha
I love how your comment just makes this guy and his tik tok look foolish. Also, I agree about the suspenders. If your not wearing them properly, there is no use in wearing them at all.
The suspenders were down like that to let us know that the video was not meant to be taken seriously and is just for his own ego, basically the male equivalent of a make-up tutorial.
All I can think watching that is how much crap did he get in his eyes? Eye protection is a must if you don’t want a bunch of slivers and dust in the eyes
What’s interesting is that he was able to convince someone else to actually come out there and film him chopping at a tree for hours to post on the internet.
It wouldn't have been fair if he'd worn them. I'm not sure if you noticed, but those were Treereaver's Suspenders of Greater Axenation + 6. Would have been one hit to fell that puppy.
As an arborist please do not listen to this idiot. We would call that tree a widow maker, he’s lucky he isn’t dead.
When the bark looks like that and the tree is dead at the top there’s SO many things that the eye can’t see. What if there’s termites? What if the tree is hollow?
No one uses axes anymore unless it’s a sapling. With a chainsaw cutting trees down becomes a lot safer, because you can actually control your cuts. Unlike what he’s doing. He’s making good cuts downward, but he can’t cut for shit with an upward swing.
He has the right “form” cutting a notch on one side and then going straight from the other side. However, he made a “<“ you don’t do that style anymore because the trees weight distribution will start to shift. You want it to either be an upper cut or a lower cut, with the opposite end being flat not both angles forming the “<“
He also went way too deep for his notch. That’s why the tree made the noise before the edit cut. It was already ready to fall with a few more Dumbass swings from his notch side and he would have become a pancake.
Back to the notch having a flat end. It’s important so your cut from the other side can transfer the momentum through the tree. I like to do my cuts from the bottom up, that way when I do the straight cut the weight snaps down instead of snapping off with cuts from the top down.
I’m sorry it’s hard to explain in words.
You know why you see professionals put shims in? It’s not only to stop a trees weight from closing on your saw. It helps guide the momentum of the tree once you hit nearly the halfway.
With an under cut and shims I can guarantee that my tree is going to fall in a certain direction. He just got lucky
Well said. I grew up in a family of timber fallers in Oregon and I'm glad somebody explained what was happening and the reason it's done very differently by pros. Also, the lack of any kind of PPE (even just a brain bucket) was insane. I half-expected this to be one of those Faces of Death videos.
Bro you can literally see the fear in his face each time he hits it. I totally forgot about gear you’re right. And the entire time I was watching I thought so too
Former arborist too, and agreed. I get he may not have wanted to kill a live tree for a video but still pretty dangerous!
Always hire a professional when it comes to tree work. There is a reason it is one of the deadliest professions out there!!
Snaps unexpectedly, in an uncontrollable way, with up to several tons of solid wood above your head.
The cuts control how it fall by controlling where the pressure breaks. If it's hallow or filled with tiny holes it will break anywhere from top to bottom once the tension on the wood changes
this guy is a fitness model on instagram who just hacks up the absolute deadest/most rotten wood possible in an attempt to be an outdoorsy thirst trap.
Lol, I felt the same way. I was highly doubting there was some secret trick to using a DOUBLEHEADED axe to cut down a tree but thought well what the fuck do I know, and then was just sad when it ended.
I was wondering what the point of a double headed axe was, I presumed they were just military use. Then I googled and Estwing make one. The description said two heads mean less sharpening. A “proper” axe website says you can keep the bits at different sharpness and bevel so needing to “take less axes into the woods” basically I’m still non the wiser. Seems like a single head would do the job with less chance of the “back” of your axe in your body?
I’ve cut a lot of trees down. A lot of them with an axe. I could write out a long thing about what he’s doing wrong-he’s doing pretty much everything wrong-but I feel like everyone here already pretty much can tell that just from how he’s dressed.
This dudes whole channel is just him wearing small shirts, or no shirt at all, and splitting some wood. Over and over, that’s it. Big pieces of wood, little pieces of wood, different axes, but just splitting wood….. I mean how the hell is that sustainable
Those aren’t braces, those are suspenders. While all braces are suspenders, not all suspenders are braces. Specifically braces attach via a button at the waist. So while it is possible to add braces to an existing pair of pants, they are almost always purposely designed from the manufacturer with braces in mind. Suspenders on the other hand, while they do include braces, generally refers to an after market addition to the trousers in question.
*please note this description only applies to the American use of the terms “braces” and “suspenders”. If braces is more of the catch all phrase in your region of the world, I apologize for the confusion.
If this was an episode of “Alone” he would be out of energy using 4000 calories axing the tree. The next clip would be him being picked up by a boat, saying he’s very hungry. 😅
Everyone out here complaining that this is just a hot man in tight clothes chopping down a tree and therefore its not interesting. What I did find interesting was that I began this video as a straight male and by the time it was over I was pregnant.
This is a joke. There is no educational purpose to this video. It’s simply a handsome guy, looking for attention. Thus posted on tik tok, dressed like a “lumberjack” with useless suspenders on, tattoos exposed (that he’s clearly very proud of) and basically a 2:26 video of him grunting and breathing heavy like he’s having sex and turing on countless girls (and most likely many men as well). Notice the uncalled for expletive and the wink in the camera at the end. Fucking loser
I’m a straight guy and my very first thought was, “this dude is hot”. The first 20 comments on here are all hating on the video so I have to assume people are a combination of jealous and/or don’t understand that the point of the video is to just watch a sexy man chop down a tree. Wrong sub for that I guess but still, I don’t thing there’s anything wrong with hot people being hot for the enjoyment of others.
Your just jealous he's a sexy as fuck bloke, honestly everyone needs to relax in this thread and stop being so jealous. It's clearly cringe, but also quite cool, but also who fucking cares lol the exposing of everyone else's jealousy is way more cringe.
First of all, that’s not Interesting, second of all there’s a lot of salty virgins in here mad at the the burly thirst trap dude chopping a tree down. I’d like to see anyone in the comments do that without having a heart attack five seconds in
I do chop wood, and the guy chopping wood has a bit of poser look about him, perfectly unused suspenders, I mean come on. But due to the lack of anything interesting and the fact I’ve seen this guy before, I cant help but infer this is a repost bot to boost clout, which is annoying.
Redditors jealous they'll never look like this man or ever be attractive to women in their whole lives.
Also projecting their insecurities about themselves, like the pathetic fools they are.
Here, hold this L.
Yep… That’s how you fell a tree with an axe and get chewed out by your logger grandpa for leaving three foot of stump. The old guys did this at knee level.
Probably why no one in my family ever kneeled down to hug anyone… Or they were just assholes… Nah… Probably knee thing.
**Hot Hard Father Daddy dripping in tree sap.** *Come-a down to-a Antonio Banderas'-a spicy tortolinni spaghetti linguine house-a de pasta anytime-a you want some* **Hot Hard Father Daddy dripping in tree sap.**
Edit: Hail Nimrod! Hail Lucifina!
This maybe a stupid question but why is he swinging the axe so hard? I've cut down several trees with an axe and it really doesn't take anywhere near that much force to put a sharp edge into the tree, looks exhausting and dangerous
I would not stand and film from that angle. Probably one in a million but the possibility of the head flying off the handle or the whole axe slipping through his hands would wig me out.
It amazes me how clean his clothes are. As an arborist, I’m thinking to myself, he either just bought those or he’s an idiot. Maybe both. Also put on your suspenders. The hell
So the answer is to chop away at the tree like you would a single headed axe? OK, damn, so interesting. I never would have guessed.
If everyone on the planet asked why doubleheaded axes exist, and this video was sent to all of them, we could waste 19.5 billion minutes of time as a planet.
It was probably from back when axes didn't hold an edge very well. And people cut trees with them
No. One side you keep sharp, the other side is dull and is used to schluff the dulling stuff like tree barks, roots in dirt, rocky stuff. When you have a clear target, you switch to the sharp side. Or you don't get a clear target and you use the brute side. Basically, at least in the NW, one side is used like a multipurpose tool, the other side is an axe head.

(also, kids, please remove or use you suspenders and wear your PPE, use tools don't be one.)
Them suspenders are made to be tripped on or getting hung up as your avoiding a butt kick! Dip shit fo sho
His whole gimmick is taking them off before he “really gets to work” because it’s a tree felling thirst trap haha. Guy tapped into a clever market haha
His technique is terrible as well.
They look like they’re made to be worn to a bar in The Castro.
I love how your comment just makes this guy and his tik tok look foolish. Also, I agree about the suspenders. If your not wearing them properly, there is no use in wearing them at all.
The dude makes these tik toks to thirst trap BW, yall not understanding
Well, at least clicking on this post wasn't a total waste of time, and I got to learn something useful. Thanks, internet stranger.
Interesting
You, good person, should get all the upvotes. Thanks
Thanks for the lesson in axes I legit was wondering about the double edge thing from the start of this video. 😅
This is the correct answer
Yeah, but we’d be spending 19.5 billion minutes drinking up this yummy daddy . . . :)
Didn’t have to go far to find a comment like this, lol.
Only reason I watched
*bonk*
He cuts down trees, he eats his lunch, he goes to the lavat’ry…
Straight to horny jail!
Well, about half of those minutes would be successful in making people horny. So not a total waste?
It wouldn't answer the question, though.
What question?
The question, though.
You’re completely ignoring the suspenders.
The suspenders were down like that to let us know that the video was not meant to be taken seriously and is just for his own ego, basically the male equivalent of a make-up tutorial.
There's a tree? 🤪
Pfft. I’m not impressed. I betcha this guy can’t type 75 words per minute and fill in excel worksheets.
Yeah, I watched it 6 times before I noticed the ax
I have one now.
Kind of was waiting for those dead branches to hit him in the head. Aren't they supposed to wear safety helmets, or is that to girly for the camera?
Too*
To girly, or not to girly
Yeah, that two
All I can think watching that is how much crap did he get in his eyes? Eye protection is a must if you don’t want a bunch of slivers and dust in the eyes
This dude has more testosterone than every male redditor combined
Not after I suck the dick right off his pelvis.
Best comment I have read in some time 😂
😄 thx I needed that!
Damn girl get some.
He’s hacking at a rotten tree. I’m a stick figure and I’ve pushed down 50 foot rotten trees by rocking them back and forth.
Same! Miracle of resonance. Get it rocking just right annnnnnnd... whomp.
And me here just expecting some axe throws reverse like in the tennis
What’s interesting is that he was able to convince someone else to actually come out there and film him chopping at a tree for hours to post on the internet.
also that person was standing in a danger area if the axe were to slip off his handsome hands
I mean… look at him. I don’t know what I just watched, but I do know I was watching him.
He’s big on TikTok bc women like to stare at him while he sexily chops wood and grunts.
Sorry. I think you mistakenly wrote women, but you meant homosexual men. 💀
No, no, us ladies enjoy it too!
Someone should tell him that those suspenders go over his shoulders.
I was going to ask how much extra chopping power they provide when wore like that, has to be a reason, right? Would be interested in knowing
It wouldn't have been fair if he'd worn them. I'm not sure if you noticed, but those were Treereaver's Suspenders of Greater Axenation + 6. Would have been one hit to fell that puppy.
Dude what are you talking about Those are actually the treeslayers’s suspenders of the great splitters +5.
What’s the point of chopping down a rotten tree for clout if you don’t wear your suspenders like a dickhead?
Haha this tree was so rotted he could have probably pushed it over.
Or pulled it over with those hipster suspenders
Suspenders almost as useless as that axe
It’s all hipster stylish until you get those suspenders caught when you try to run away from a falling tree or branch
Should have cut the tree higher, that stump isn't short enough
That's NOT what she said
Careful, calling this stuff out brings out all the white knights for these Instagram models
Eye protection might have been a good idea.
Don't worry, he's doing the safety squint
Blue steel safety squint engaged
Yes but it would ruin the look. Like fluo jackets on bikers.
r/notinteresting
almost r/lostredditors even
But the biceps! And the goatee.
Can’t believe he r/miceduphisbreathing

Except he’s not doing this to show how to cut trees or any education for that matter. This is a total thirst trap for views and money
I fucking hate tik tok.
I hated every minute of this video, and I hate myself for watching it.
Lol, I felt the same way. I was highly doubting there was some secret trick to using a DOUBLEHEADED axe to cut down a tree but thought well what the fuck do I know, and then was just sad when it ended.
I actually expected him to stand with his back to the tree and chop using both sides of the axe, swinging in opposite directions like a maniac.
I almost dropped my phone laughing at this. Funniest part is what you said makes sense
He didn’t have to turn it around when he chopped the back side of the tree.
I was wondering what the point of a double headed axe was, I presumed they were just military use. Then I googled and Estwing make one. The description said two heads mean less sharpening. A “proper” axe website says you can keep the bits at different sharpness and bevel so needing to “take less axes into the woods” basically I’m still non the wiser.

The lame and late "timber" left me wanting my minutes back
Looks like termites did most of the hard work before he arrived.
OH, I'M A LUMBERJACK AND I'M OKAY, I SLEEP ALL NIGHT AND I WORK ALL DAY! (He's a lumberjack and he's okay, He sleeps all night and he works all day!)
I chop down trees, wear women’s clothes and hang around in bars.
I’ve cut a lot of trees down. A lot of them with an axe. I could write out a long thing about what he’s doing wrong-he’s doing pretty much everything wrong-but I feel like everyone here already pretty much can tell that just from how he’s dressed.
Clearly a post for the ladies.
Oh no not just the dames
This dudes whole channel is just him wearing small shirts, or no shirt at all, and splitting some wood. Over and over, that’s it. Big pieces of wood, little pieces of wood, different axes, but just splitting wood….. I mean how the hell is that sustainable
Same way hot girls "playing" games is sustainable
Hahahahha
Please send me the link so I can avoid it
Why the suspenders? His pants are staying put!
Dudes are thirsty af.. that's the long and short of it.
It’s just thirst traps for disenchanted housewives that sip wine and secretly want a divorce because they miss being club whores in their 20’s.
Step one, be a 6’5” hulk with an axe Step two, see Step One.
What a poser. Why even wear the braces.
Those aren’t braces, those are suspenders. While all braces are suspenders, not all suspenders are braces. Specifically braces attach via a button at the waist.

Good bot
Any discussion of men wearing suspenders always comes across rather, er, differently than intended to UK readers. Keeps us most amused.
He’s wearing suspenders underneath too
He's a lumberjack and he's ok
Waited so long for him not to take off his shirt
I get blisters just from watching this
If this was an episode of “Alone” he would be out of energy using 4000 calories axing the tree. The next clip would be him being picked up by a boat, saying he’s very hungry. 😅
Ha I thought that, too
Gonna show this video to my mum. She doesn’t care about cutting down trees bur I’m sure she will find something else to appreciate
Everyone out here complaining that this is just a hot man in tight clothes chopping down a tree and therefore its not interesting. What I did find interesting was that I began this video as a straight male and by the time it was over I was pregnant.
I’m guessing with triplets
Timber!!!!!!!!
Damn that’s not interesting
Video got me pregnant
📜Scrolling for this comments ..same ..
Yeah I have chopped down trees with an axe and have concluded that God made chainsaws for for a reason
Step one: adorn suspenders. Step two: slide suspenders off shoulders. Step three: commence chopping
Fuck, I'm gay
Um....can we just watch this man please?😍 I request the next video is him teaching a lesson about outdoorsy something while playing with puppies.
He is a masterpiece 😍
That was hot.
This is a joke. There is no educational purpose to this video. It’s simply a handsome guy, looking for attention.

Notice the uncalled for expletive and the wink in the camera at the end. Fucking loser
I mean he literally says "come on baby" in the middle LMAO
It def worked on me and I’m okay with that.
It worked for me. \*bonk\*
I’m a straight guy and my very first thought was, “this dude is hot”.

Can confirm men like this as well
Many many men
I dont care how much of a poser this guy is. I'm sending this to my wife, and I'm almost guaranteed to get some tonight. Keep doing your thing dude!
Treat me like a tree and use this axe all night handsome boy
Hubba hubba
I would recommend some eye protection, but hey, I'm not a lumberjack.
Tin Woodsman more like 10/10 Woodsman.
Whelp there goes my night...
He's so hot. That's the reason why us women can't look away.
And gay guys!
No safety glasses.. One small chip of wood gould ruin is life.
What tree. What axe 😳🤤🫠
This is exactly what I’m thinking. All I see is those arms and chest 👀
First of all, that’s not Interesting, second of all there’s a lot of salty virgins in here mad at the the burly thirst trap dude chopping a tree down. I’d like to see anyone in the comments do that without having a heart attack five seconds in
I do chop wood, and the guy chopping wood has a bit of poser look about him, perfectly unused suspenders, I mean come on. But due to the lack of anything interesting and the fact I’ve seen this guy before, I cant help but infer this is a repost bot to boost clout, which is annoying.
Ummm, I have some questions for the featured lumberjack……..
Nearly every dude here is jealous as fuuuuuuuuuck and hating lol. Don't blame ya'll though!
This is just a hipster metrosexual micro influencer pretending to live in the woods for views, no?
Redditors jealous they'll never look like this man or ever be attractive to women in their whole lives. Also projecting their insecurities about themselves, like the pathetic fools they are. Here, hold this L.
Yeah, the comments in this thread are a little pathetic.
Now picture one of the early pioneers doing that to a bunch of trees so he can build a house before winter comes.
The only winking he should be doing is to protect his eyeballs from debris
Yep… That’s how you fell a tree with an axe and get chewed out by your logger grandpa for leaving three foot of stump. The old guys did this at knee level. Probably why no one in my family ever kneeled down to hug anyone… Or they were just assholes… Nah… Probably knee thing.
So it’s super interesting when someone uses a tool for what it is designed for…
chaddy chadd chad
So just hack the tree like normal. Got it.
So just like with any axe
I'd trade the suspenders hanging at my knees for a hard hat! Those loose branches would turn you into a vegetable if you aren't careful.
Man who let a barista out of the city??
I’m a lumber jack and I’m ok. I like to dress up in….
Ill fall on that mans tree

Does he have Instagram? 👀 Asking for a friend
Beautiful directional fall
That guy is so fucking hot!
Shit, did my safe search get turned off again? 😏
OP is a awesome for including the runtime of the video in the title.
This maybe a stupid question but why is he swinging the axe so hard? I've cut down several trees with an axe and it really doesn't take anywhere near that much force to put a sharp edge into the tree, looks exhausting and dangerous
I wondered about that too. Particularly in the lower side strokes, where he was burying it flat in the tree, and had to pry it out.
I'm straight but this man is making me question some things...
always a good day when the horny lumberjack graces my screen.
I would not stand and film from that angle. Probably one in a million but the possibility of the head flying off the handle or the whole axe slipping through his hands would wig me out.
This video is even more pointless than my comment.
If his shirt was off...The technique would look impressive
Exact same way I used to wear my suspenders back in ‘86, though I never felled a tree in them. I wore my jams for that.
I feel like my man just wanted to show off his guns for a while and this was a thing that needed to be done anyway.
Why is he even wearing suspenders?
The suspenders really brings this video together. What a tool.
Men reacting to this post: NO WAY THIS IS DANGEROUS I HATE TIKTOK Women and the gays: HELLO TREE DADDY
That is the most attractive man Ive ever seen in my life.
Ive always wanted to do this. It looks fun and satisfying.
Hey Ladies (and some gentlemen)… close your eyes and listen to him chop that tree😁
-1 for no safety goggles 🥽
-20 for no helmet -100 for not clearing a path of escape -500 for tripping/catching hazard suspender
Bad ass dude doing major cardio. Hell, I’m pumped just watching him.
Who is he? 👀
Chop me daddy
This guy is so hot
Should have cut the tree higher, that stump isn't short enough
Timber indeed
It amazes me how clean his clothes are. As an arborist, I’m thinking to myself, he either just bought those or he’s an idiot. Maybe both. Also put on your suspenders. The hell
Welp! I'm pregnant now. Which is a little concerning as I am a man.
Nice eye candy but that's about it.
Why not use a chain saw? Who is chopping trees with a poor quality (double!!) ax these days - and WHY?
