I just got this video in the post yesterday (from Ben's Backwoods) and must say it is quite impressive.
If you are a the sort of learner who gets a lot from watching demonstrations of things then you'll learn a lot from this - there are a few unique tips and lots of demonstrations.
One of the most interesting sections is watching him turn a sizeable log into planks by making a quick wedge out of the first split - all done with a knife and baton.
It is a nice video and essentially a companion to the sections on cutting tools in his book Bushcraft.
it also shows that cheap, but good, tools will get the job done and hes sure uses some ugly axes!
