I’m conflicted. Hatchet is hard to beat for driving stakes and splitting small stuff, but the weight puts it in the liability category.
I don't like these axe throwing events/outings/establishments because I was taught by my Grandfather to treat an axe with caution because it can be a dangerous tool if not used properly and with your full attention.I used to carry an axe for group trips in case I had to make a paddle. But I always kept it hidden especially if people were drinking.
I like the idea of carefully limiting use of potentially dangerous objects - totally something to keep in mind if I do bring an axe. Thank you!I used to carry an axe for group trips in case I had to make a paddle. But I always kept it hidden especially if people were drinking.
On a camping trip?I have seen two people put axes in their feet. Not good. Both were young
I carried a hatchet as a youngster, made some mistakes, learned from them. Certain strokes will generate glancing blows
