Video Transcription

Esmond in survival today we're going to do a quick and easy access stay tuned alright so the goal is to wrap the axe handle to protect it from getting scuffed up damaged broken braided anything like that during splitting bucking any common tasks with an axe so first thing you want to do is want to make a loop about the size that you want your wrap to be the potential the potential length now you also want to make sure that you leave yourself a tag and a tag right here that way I can pull on it after so now I want to do is hold that still with my thumb see just the bite going straight down they don't cross or anything like that so there's my tag has the rest of my cord so now I'm going to go over stop rapping go over again so you keep crossing just working your way down the handle try to keep everything as far forward as I can perfectly balanced don't let anything move now you don't want this to be too too tight I'll explain why later so I want them to be tight on themselves so I'm going to squeeze them together both sides but I'm not going to pull real tight on this because I'm going to have to pull this loop underneath underneath it I'm finished

so I'm going to just make my way down okay so I'm near the end of my cord now I'm going to do is lift up the tag and go underneath it and through okay so I'm going to go underneath my tag and through there we go okay so I get so far so now I'm going to pull my tag in right here that's going to bring this loop underneath and my tagging will go right with it okay so that's what I got nice tight wrap and all I have is my tag in I need to just cut off that stop all right so there's my rap came out really good it's nice and tight now protect my axe and it's wider than my head is

okay so this be a missionary survival remember take care of the tools let's take care of you previews comments news part see in the next one take care
