>>352174>A trend has developed in some circles for batoning knives as a primary means of splitting fire wood. Don't be one of those fuckwits.That might hurt your "survival" mindset, not everyone is a "survivalist" or a "bushcrafter", and not everyone wants to carry an axe either.
When you realize a knife that's the fourth of the size of a hatchet and the tenth of its weight can do the same thing, no wonder people would rather baton wood, especially when even cheap Chinese steel these days allows to create knives that are harder than the splitting wedges of old.
Technology advances, new techniques are created, and some people are willing to adapt, that doesn't make them fuckwits more than it makes you an old far whose stuck on his perfect vision of what "survival" is and dismisses anything else as pointless and stupid.
