>>2636697Either you live in the jungle or you're a larping fuck. I live in the northeastern US where there isn't much leafy foliage to whack through so the main purpose of a machete is not needed. And we have state-managed public reserved land here that has fire pits, that's where I usually camp.
No, you don't need that many tools to start a fire. If I can just pick one tool I go with a folding saw like
>>2636658 said. But when I'm boating into the camp or just hiking a short way so weight isn't an issue yes I do bring the saw and axe, so me and my friends can all sit around a nice fire.
Again if you're telling me you routinely chop and split wood like pic related with nothing but a machete you're full of shit
