>>2866253 Uhhhnnnn... my delicate dick skinners hurt... :'( >>2866254 >op, saws were invented long ago you fucking idiot I only gots a 4' saw right now, I need to sharpen my 6 footer for that tree. Deal with it and fuck chainsaws.
>>2866065 for some reason axes attract only the most inbred dumbass homosexuals around, because a heavy, inefficient and injury-prone way to do things is supposed to be macho or something
>>2866621 >wow one guy can give his all and cut down one tree almost as fast a power tool would >here's why your point about work per day is irrelevant and you're weak and emacipated gaymer, unlike me, high testosterone macho big boy that refuses to do anything in a simple and effective way, because this would shatter my strongman persona that only i care about really not beating the room temp IQ homosexual allegations there
>>2866623 >Bro, just carry a loud dangerous power saw 17 miles down a trail during fire season in a designated wilderness area to limb and buck blowdowns Nah, I'll stick with my 4 pound axe and 4 pound crosscut saw.
>>2866624 >>Bro, just carry a loud dangerous power saw 17 miles down a trail during fire season in a designated wilderness area to limb and buck blowdowns >no bro i NEED to haul half a chainsaw's weight to do 1/20th of the work, it's just absolutely necessary to do every time i go outside, me being a prancing homosexual has nothing to do with it you do you, hope you find your burly bear partner to swing axes together with soon anon
>>2866065 Axes are arguably near the bottom of outdoor tools. A lot of its uses are better done by other tools, and apart from being combo equipment (and just being cool) it remains useful at 2 things: splitting and killing retards, the latter i suspect being the reason why it appeals to autistic 4chanites. Oh wait, it's only splitting because the machete kills retards better, along with gathering wood and doing all other stuff you'd need a big knife for. A fixed bowsaw is better and safer at downing trees and if you take 14 replacement blades with you you're still at 1/3rd of the weight of a fullsize axe. Hatchets are manjewelry meme trash. The only thing that hatchets do is eat the legs of the LARPers that love them. The folding saw is once again supremely useful but none of the LARPers care because it's not "cool" and it looks flimsy, but they all forget that these things are tools, tools take skill and care to use, and if you want muh self defense buy a gun.
The Pulaski. Delimbs faster than a saw (though not as cleanly) does everything an axe does, works as a grubbing tool and sometimes used for driving wedges or stakes with the top end. High utility, simple low cost maintenance.
>>2867082 >>2867079 Hatchets are literal garbage and im tired of pretending they're not because of that gay book. You'd be better served with a 2 pound boy's axe with a 20" handle. With a 14" folding saw you're unstoppable.
>>2867813 >Defending a worthless tool The heads don't have enough mass to be useful and if you make the head heavier the handle will be too short for mechanical advantage. 2# 24" axe ∞> 1# 12" hatchet. Deal with it. >>2867839 Your kukri makes a really shitty hammer.
>>2866065 As much as I like it, everything you can do with an axe you can do with a machete, and you can't do half the things a machete does with an axe
>>2867079 Couldn't agree more. Most of dead trees around me aren't even thick enough to be worth splitting while camping. My go to right now is a Billhook and Saw combo - gets shit done fast and well, while hatchetlets are larping in the corner
