>>1710938Batonning is unironically a giant waste of time & energy.
The only time its viable is in arctic winters when you can't find evergreen needles.
Just collect leaves, dry grass, and twigs, pinecones/needles etc..
Why whittle at a stick for hours just to dull your precious knife & make a single fire?
You could ironically collect a massive pile of wood and kindling in that time.
