And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Dick Proenneke, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYJKd0rkKss, knew how to use an axe - examples: 4:06, 4:36, 6:00, 6:32, and 7:45. His cruiser length double bit was probably a Tru Temper. Definite Old School.
My favorite axe to wield. AKA a Michigan axe.
ReplyDeleteI have a Swedish double-bit which is probably the finest piece of steel in the collection.
ReplyDeleteShouldn't it be Fellers axe?
ReplyDeleteThe double bit is designed for one side felling, the other splitting. A close look will reveal the different geometry
