I was like starving eating like granola bars and stuff like just surviving off granola bars because all they had like they gave us was like a bunch of like chemical junk food and I like I just couldn't eat any of X I was worried I would get like allergic and sick and whatever so anyway so I knew that ahead of time and I literally brought like nine boxes of granola bars at me yeah and like after that I was in for like I don't know how long was I there for for the tryouts multiple multiple days I don't know a week or something in New York week but uh and they're finding a five but you died I found a five guys on a phone we had a couple hours off one afternoon right and I'm like I called up a cab company I don't know where I'm like in New York all the cab company might do I need to go to five guys like 15 miles up into the guy was scary drove like seriously 97 miles an hour in the highway that was like normal they just said we don't do scary business man I'm like it's like a cop car in the back of those things you just it was just like basically in a washing machine yeah it was it was near Bear Mountain in New York yeah yeah that's a beautiful area man that's close to Connecticut ish where you're just like maybe it's not the best restaurant but and you were so hungry at the moment that like in your mind always so like it's like dude those cheeseburgers were like filet mignon man it was like when face we're not good burger White Castle but that movie White Castle yeah these houses yeah do five guy to do it it was a hot meal first hot meal I had like a week without seeing like packaged food you know I was like oh my god it's steaming us

I'd like had that where I've been in the woods for like up to I think the longest I've ever camped out was like like I actually can't down not like car camping like a real cafe I've been like certainly unlike even for day trips I've been like out of my hot food and like gotten to the point where I just want something hot that I've like skewered sour patch kids and like that's amazing dude it's like we were talking about and like this property really want to find a spot on the spot you know you buy ice pop or you wanna camp right you go even further to find a spot on that game yeah for us when we're at like those was halfway up that ridge line against that piece of ledge that Lake remain you yeah right next to that River without a lack cherry tree well that was a nice and I think

he's done his property as you you know for what he has Pearl and we really found the spot this Bob right I don't even going to Foxborough like your whole life or anything but yeah I have actually I usually I've never really come from Boston until I finish college but there it is woodcraft yeah that's cool yeah same here so I've been going to Foxboro Stadium since I can remember seeing the Patriots when they had their old logo in the 80s when I was a kid and all that big bridge was built there oh my god yeah before there was dude that was all a single parking lot where like the gravel in the parking lot was just like chunks of junk yeah there's potholes everywhere and those a couple of like a couple of lamps here and there but like that's it and it was as far as you could see it was just a single parking lot did replays did things and then they like like the first thing that they they built after a craft bought it was um he put up a kit big canvas tent that's a Patriots place was first

it's called Patriots place it was a tent a single canvas tent and you walk in it was like a pro shop and they had like $150 jerseys and I'm like what is this look who's gonna shop here like it you know like we were already complaining that like the bratwurst were like 4 bucks now you know they made way back when and now now that was like like a brand-new stadium he tore down the old stadiums a brand new high striker sample it's tone down a stadium built a brand new one got rid of all that stuff and then it has like bass pro shops and grocery stores it's like out of control dude I'm like I remember when this was like a wasteland like what is God these to be a carnival do you ever go to the carnival they're electrons like it midnight just yeah flashing lights everywhere am that's awesome yeah it kind of gave you a really good perspective of like you can run 5k around that place and not be fully around the stadium like it ended before we started oh my god yeah that's crazy yeah it was a you know at the flying chairs and the carousels like the legit carnival

massive carnival used to be there yeah same place an axe yeah 17 bucks yeah they have decent website made in Germany

feels like ads and stuff over here oh you know all sorts of stuff an entire corner just dedicated to would turn like lathes and stuff kidding me right now that's a nice match - connects does it really give stitching peerage that much yeah for sure heavier

Logan harder axed bison I don't know what language that is German she's another marine an urbanizing dude it's got a double that's crazy-looking ax though that's kind of cool and that is a weird-looking ax it is the green is D sympathy this is this would have to go this is like completely quick oh it's funky though I like this a little bit good to uh literally over the dough did the fit and finish is really bad no yeah hey though for 70 bucks or I didn't finish just horrible it's kind of good have to its how he did things but things will get fried weapons 20 inches 22 inches 600 millimeters [Music]

I didn't know they I mean they get the council to a woodcraft cults man this council tool oh man see the sign please do oh really yeah for show they're not talking really all right how you supposed to handle them my dad should have a guy's 6:4 in your in your building we'll put it so I [Music]

man like why can I not handle this I think I own this is a key so that's the key so I got this I did the UM the the balance on that is like real all about the balance it's like so like like do it when you get a good axe you hold it just like wants to stay how it is nothing is fun the bit is so fraught heavy that's still going right a bit is so front heavy on that that like when you hold a just wants to loss to fall forward so they didn't balance the pole to the bevel and sewed well so when were you swinging him when he start getting tired like you get wrist and arm fatigue because the consignee wants to go down so you're fighting it all the time to keep it going I bought it I'm like so this is a beater then we've got it Roger that yeah there's something I don't want to use repeated yeah I've looked at him a couple times in the head on them looks a little too long and skinny you know what I mean

it doesn't have a big enough bit on it a wide enough bit that's close enough to the center right right yeah that's the that's the that's like there that's like they're like grants furs Brookes version it's like that's like their small forest axe it's been out for a little while yeah

rooster actually you know rooster mod Craig roost great great axe mod guy I think he just collaborated with them on a short like it looks like shingling hatchet almost you know with the hammer pole that thing looks pretty sick but the cheeks the cheeks on the council tools are a little too thick for my liking you

yeah if you could see if you could see that thing in profile you can see that it's kind of it's kind of chunky and wide a lot of the Holtz Brooks are too but I mean for what they are you can't really beat it something else there's an old axe has like really flared Pissarro cheeks and then it cuts him immediately

I like yep has like a there's a bunch of access that haven't my Kelly my Kelly axe had that but it depends on it depends on the maker I mean I there are different names for but [Music]
