>>1348906What would I use an axe for that I can't do with a saw? Even the saw is a stretch, desu. It's nice for shelter building though. Axes are for felling trees and splitting firewood for storage near a permanent dwellign. I have never had to split wood to make a fire.
The tarp isn't some tiny ultralight rectanglular one. It's 3x3m I can set up my tarp as a fully enclosed shelter. I've spent multiple nights at around -15C like this.
