>>786312well. i guess its because people on out do different things, i dont like to hike for distance, i like to arrive at a spot and then stay there for 3-4 or more days,
more base camp sort of thing, yea if i was hiking from place to place every day i probably wouldnt bring an axe, the Hultafors mini maybe, but certainly not a full size axe or hatchet,
different strokes for different folks.
if you are going to build a more lastin camp an axe is invaluable, also, an axe is a wonderful demolition tool, so you´ve build you lean-to with raised bed tied togehter with spruce root, all that delicout faggoty-bushcraft shit. now with the axe just chop that shit down my man
