What else should we test against the axe??
You should put the ballistic jelly that is leftover to put on the wood to try to make it as close as a real leg. Tho I don't think the difference would be big.
I’m joking
Your mom :D
carhart material
you should test candy
I suppose I'm bad at chopping wood. I've chopped through my boot and cut my foot before🤦🏼♀️ I'll never live it down.
... since when do you guys make TKOR-branded axes? Also, where can we buy one?
oh ok i should wear 999 jeans next time
Kid: "Mom, can we get Mythbusters?" Mom: "We have Mythbusters at home!" Mythbusters at home:
just wear chain mail! it will protect against any cutting!
"You have my bow." "And my axe." "And my denim."
hook 1000 car badreas to a tv
Jeans are bad armor… use better armor like full mithrill armor + 6 😁😁😁.
i like how you're going mythbusters with the ballistics gel :)
Nate you should of went to cally and said I got you 31 pairs of riped jeans🤣🤣
The guy in the math problem in his free time:
The fact that you've only started using ballistics gel in your "scientific experiments" pretty much completely discounts any 'scientific' value you have tried to create in previous videos.
chainsaw chaps
Hi
That doesn't really happen but I guess if you have 0 depth perception it could happen and if that does happen you have squishy skim to dampen the hit I would know your leg isn't made of wood but interesting video
Ur still going to hurt ur leg with it lol brale u leg with the axe lol
Put some flex seal,jeans,flex seal,jeans,flex seal,jeans if that doesnt work try to stick on JB WELD To the jeans some how.👍
I kinda want to see how hard Kevin can chop with an axe
Man you got some big feet.. U know what they say....
This test does not prove cause the log has multiple cuts
Did you use a leather strop after the whetstone? Its very helpful in getting rid of the bur formed when sharpening
sees ballistics gel has myth busters flashback
I like that they called a kukri a machete
Hihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihhihih
Its ok. Your leg won't be cut but your bones will just shatter
Nate at 10:09 ... *Pause timelapse to say "I've an axe to grind"*
Test pit Chain Saw Chaps/ leather Chaps
The optimal dentist phongsaly number because cake bailly save following a brash snowflake. bumpy, light bone
Literally no one else Notice how his gloves started turning red
so u either wear 30 pairs of jean OR be simple and buy shin guards
The only problem is I bet I swing my axe 5x harder if not more because your not really doing much but some of us swing these things everyday all day
So this is the guy buying all the jeans at my local thrift store
A really bad swing if you hit your leg 👁👄👁
Why would you see how many pairs of jeans stops in axe. But
Great, now coat them in beeswax
I think you need to try on 30 pairs of jeans now and see what that would be like lol
Anyone else wants to eat the ballistics gel?
Nate: that’s silly Me: no you’re silly
fun video cool guy
wildkratts
So this is where ripped jeans come from.😂
Ouch
Sad thing is I actually seen a decapitation on a leg, head, hand, arm
900 layers of pants 👖👖
That block of ballistic gel was not anywhere near as firm as most others that ive seen
I would have used something more realistic like a skinnier piece of wood with some type of steak or meat around it to resemble a real leg but the video was great nonetheless!
Legs are now feet
The fact that you talked about not just sharpness, but blade geometry and the give of the target makes the sword nerd part of me *really* happy. I've seen a lot of people only talk about sharpness and completely miss how critically important the other two actually are.
Today's TKOR tip: Don't give yourself an axe-hole.
This was never a question in my brain until this video. I'm glad I got my answer though.
Forbidden cheese loaf
Well I was wrong by alot
As a professional axe thrower, I would be interested to see this same concept, but with the axes being thrown at the pants w/ a board and ballistics behind them. Would the results be different if you threw a 14" hatchet one-handed vs. a 16" axe two-handed?
So I guess the log represents the leg
Why would I need to know this ?
Remember kids all-was were protection
He had a roku tv in the timelapse
Dem thick jeans
I have hit my shin from a glancing blow from a very sharp ax. I mean I can shave with it. One layer of lose jeans and ended up with only a bruised shin and a bump on my shin to this day
I've hit my leg with a hatchet after a botched strike. Only reason it didn't hurt me was my high ankle boots. Far better protection than jeans.
Is anyone gonna mention that that is a kukri not a machete?
Full kudo to you Nate if i feel an axe strike deflecting or feeling wrong i dont usually follow through on the swing. I know it was done for testing wich is fair you need a standard swing for a fair test. On a side note as some one who has hit him self in the leg more than once and luckily one been bruised my trusty rain trousers are semingly axe proof with a realativly Sharp axe
Never skip leg day
I have actually had a axe deflect off a tree I was chopping and the edge hit my shin and I was wearing jeans and it didn’t even go through them and I keep my axes razor sharp
Nate: This is a block of ballistics gel Me: Mythbusters?
Please make some cheese
Well I was wrong by alot
why don't you try mixing starch vinegar liquid nitrogen and peroxide
Come on that's nonsense do you think people wil wear many jeans just to protect their legs?
3:40 IT WILL KEEL!
I would like if you do more stuff like mythsbusters did!
okay, assuming you can even move from the waist down after putting two maybe three pairs of Jeans on... in other words, don't want amputate your leg, don't mess up your swing or aim!!!
Me casually puts on 31 pairs of jeans
I feel like generally if you hit your calf your more likely to break your leg than cut super super deep
Give me 25 pairs of jeans and let me swing at them I bet I get through all 100 layers.
Bullistics gel also has to be a certain temp I thought?
2 words. Chainmail Leggings.
Now I'm going to try imagining someone chopping wood in a full suit of armour. ...And my imagination is showing me the tin woodsman from The Wizard of Oz.
ice hi
If I am a lumberjack. How thick of a denim dress would I need not to lose my foot or dignity?
@Shauka Hodan the reference of this is from the Lumberjack song.
pls try chop resistant pants
when TKOR goes full mythbusters lol
What happens to ballistics gel in a freeze dryer?
To be exact when you get chopped to the leg the hit would be at an angle instead of a straight hit.
Well when I had my bike accident, my legs were badly scratched but the jeans was perfectly fine. Dont know how the impact reached my leg without even scratching my jeans
I wanna have a boyfriend like Nate
freeze dry balistic jelly ^^
The trauma of the bone structure would never be stoppable because their is still a transfer of energy between the axe and your leg
Well yeah, but it might save you from stitches, a tetanus shot, infection... However wearing 30+ layers of denim just doesn't seem practical.
who wears pants on their feet...?
you'd actually have to be smooth brained to hit your self with an axe chopping wood
Nate you made a video on how to make bilisticks jell
Could you try freeze drying that gel?
How many store know he’s buying the products for science
a jean gambeson... ...a jambeson
pls try chop resistant pants
You should try chainsaw chaps and see it they would work
CAN YOU TRY SWEATPANTS?
THE ANSWER IS: I DO NOT SPOIL!
The answer is triangle
I think it depends on how sharp both the axe and machette are. The sharper it is, the easier it'll cut through fabric, hence why most fabric scissors and blades used with fabric are really, really sharp. The base will matter as well because of give, but sharpness can make up for that give. Yes, this comment was made before finishing the whole video.
Guessed 40, I was optimistic xD
