An axe is probably the most useful tools you can have in a survival situation, and if it isn't, it's definitely in the top three. If you have one, great! If you don't, use the methods below to make yourself a primitive axe from scratch.

It's amazing that these skills are still being practiced out there in the wilderness by people who don't want to let them fade into obscurity. While clearly not up to par with a modern steel blade, this stone wedge is still far superior to a simple survival knife for chopping. As a bonus, how awesome are you going to feel strolling through the woods with one of these bad boys propped against your shoulder?

This is an amazing technique for crafting a blade worthy of any primitive man.
