Last time out I injured my back. The weather was ugly too. It was wet and cold. I sat there looking at some logs and wishing I had some kind of axe. Oh to have a nice warm fire going. That is what prompted my hatchet question. One has to be prepared for the worse. What was that Boy Scout moto?

I went ahead recently and bought the Gerber Packpax. I tried it out today and found that it splits logs to kindling like no tomorrow. It will go on my belt and it is only just over one pound in weight, so I will give it a try next year and see how it works out.
