Mountain Man Makes His Own Quad Axe and Chops Wood Into Fourths With a Single Swing

We’ve all dreamed of living in the woods somewhere, fleeing society as we know it and cutting ourselves off completely from the modern world. City lift is just simply too much sometimes. The romanticized view of rural lifestyle is glorious: no phones, no clocking in for work, and no worrying about noisy neighbors on the weekends. 
 

For Jake Fischer, a TikToking mountain man living in a cabin in the forests of Maine, this is not just a dream, it’s his reality. Jake spends many of his days, you guessed it, chopping wood. Not only does he need wood for warmth, building materials, and crafting, Jake’s main passion is blacksmithing the axes he uses to chop wood. 
 

IT SPLITS

This mountain living is certainly not for everyone, but Jake prides himself on his alternative lifestyle, sharing bush camping tips, wood-working hacks, and of course, unfiltered content of his custom blacksmithed beauties. These axes are not for the faint of heart and fit Jake’s lifestyle perfectly.
 

Jake’s axes are one-of-a-kind, hand forged tools that he makes from scratch using traditional Scandinavian techniques. He has even designed an ax specifically crafted to chop wood into fourths with a single swing. One might even call it “The Quadrupler”. This hefty hand tool is essentially a Frankenstein morph of two regular axes that form a cross in the center, thus splitting wood into fourths. Double the firewood for half the work, so for anyone that has spent a sweaty, buggy afternoon in the leaves struggling to center a log, half the work sounds pretty good. 
 

In addition to the Quadrupler, Jake makes a myriad of standard axes that would make Paul Bunyan drool with desire. He has an entire room filled with hundreds upon hundreds of axes, lining every inch of the walls of one of his wooden sheds. Nobody knows how a person could need so many, but Jake’s passion and his impressive collection is certainly unmatched. 

Perhaps there is more to life than going through the motions of city life, endlessly listening to the tune of traffic in the street with the wafting smell of hot garbage from the curb. Mountain life certainly has its allure with green-topped trees, whistling birds, and that earthy bark smell. Next thing you know, we’ll all be on Jake’s waitlist to buy an ax, hoping to become the next Sasquatch sighting in our local woods.
