>Camping with axes, hatchets and saws? Leave them at home.>Growing up, many of us were taught that axes, hatchets and saws are a natural part of camping. Upon arriving at camp, the bushcraft tools come out to process trees for firewood and benches, move limbs out of the way for tents and hammocks or harvest boughs to whittle, build and play with.>If you’ve ever been to a campsite where live saplings and trees have recently come under the axe, you’ve seen the evidence. What used to be trees now look like broken, splintered teeth sticking out of the ground. The more it happens the more the campsite expands and surrounding foliage is denuded. This damage has become a significant issue in many places along the PCT and other backcountry getaways.How does this make you feel?
