OregonMouse, thank you!

I totally agree about an axe, it is not needed usually. We take it when we go to wet areas with bogs, where all downed wood is either wet or rotten, but dry stems remain standing. It is allowed to cut those down here.

there is my youtube channel with 4-5 videos based on our hiking footage - search "hikermix" in case you are interested. This year`s videos will be ready by New Year, I plan
