machete or axes waht you working with??

[FishyFolk]

Totally agree, but in this Country Bushcraft is a hobby n the boys like to play with shineys
You brought up an old one here..!

Yup, you won't need an axe to split twigs for your little home made wood gas stoves made from soup cans would you. Those little garden pruning saws and a sturdy knife is all you need to get the kettle on :-)

It's a zombie thread.

I'm done.

For an American you sure do have a thin skin. C'mon make a video, it will be fun.

No She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed, was safe and sound in the living room when this was taken in the shed...at the time the axe was not sufficiently seasoned that she could be allowed to know about it :-)

I looked at who's on line and saw you lurking on this thread. I know you are itching to get back and win.

All real Americans want to win. Second place is first looser.

It's time for you to lock and load son, get your ass back to the action. Get with the program and come in for the big win. USA! USA!







If this taunting doesn’t work, then the man from Oklahoma must be one of those rare liberal Americans. Where is the tea party when you need it?

Chillax, bud - if he doesn't want to make a vid, don't push him. Having been in Oklahoma, I can agree with him that a machete/parang would be a more useful tool, especially around brush instead of trees. I wouldn't bring an axe to the tropics, nor the desert, or the extreme north where trees are few and stunted. Different environments require different tools.
And please don't mix politics with Bushcraft...

You are right. My bad.

Just trying to avoid a heated debate/argument and keep everyone happy .

Axes and machetes are useful in different contexts i guess. In winter i carry an axe pretty exclusively, but during most other seasons its interchangeable between an axe or a parang/machete
