>>960870What you're arguing is CAN you batonny chopp choppy chop, and I say yes. With a high quality knife, and a little thought put into it, you can split some bits of wood with a knife and shouldn't expect it to break.
What we're arguing is SHOULD you batonnie chippy choppy. Making kindling is pretty fucking lame as a reason. I find an axe of a manageable weight or a hatchet is way better because of the wedge shape, for any reasonable need to cut wood. I never make kindling because if I'm in the forest, I'm surrounded by bits of wood of all different sizes and I can just find shit that works. Blah blah it's raining, whatever, learn to build a better fire. Learn to find better wood.
Bippy chippy a dying meme. Batonnia chuppy cuppy is a drunk survivalist idea that was put into a TV show or some lame book to fill space. It got picked up on by fatherless bush-cucks with yootoob channels and perpetuated to memeic status. Does it work some of the time? Yes. Does that mean you should do it? No.These idiots put their knives under undue stress, and eventually will fatigue the metal. I don't fucking care if you guys do. By all means, masturbation is another pointless and self gratifying activity. Just don't come onto this board and try to convince people that it's a legitimate woodsman activity.
