The Shangaan Axe on Dual Survival can be found in Season 3, Episode 3 “On the Menu”. The two survivalists and hosts Joseph Teti and Cody Lundin don’t carry personal knives this time. They are in a game preserve in South Africa and find what looks to be an authentic African bush axe Joe calls a “Shangaan Axe”.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″]
For the scenario in this episode Cody and Joe are two game wardens whose vehicle has overheated and they attempt to walk out. Other than their clothes they don’t have any equipment or tools. They find the remains of a giraffe skeleton, including some giraffe tail hair.<\/p>\n
They also discover a poacher’s camp, where they find a backpack, water jug, potassium permanganate, sugar, a hat, and the Shangaan Axe.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.4.8″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”] The axe is used to fashion spears, split a bone for a throwing “stick”, clean a catfish and cut branches for shelter.

It looks like a great utility tool. It’s the type of axe (really a hatchet) that can be used as a knife. It seems smart to use the local tools when surviving in a particular area. “When in Rome”.\u00a0<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.4.7″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/ancientpathworkshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/on4161__01.jpg” alt=”Shangaan Axe” title_text=”Swedish-Axe-Dual-Survival” url=”https:\/\/ancientpathworkshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Swedish-Axe-Dual-Survival.jpg” _builder_version=”4.4.8″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″] Source:\u00a0https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-african-1870-shoka-war-axe?variant=38445568261<\/a><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.4.8″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.8″][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Shangaan Axe on Dual Survival can be found in Season 3, Episode 3 “On the Menu”.
