My woodgathering and woodbutchering (fuzz sticks, kindling, shelter pegs, ridge poles etc.) skills are starting to improve. I am going to treat myself to some better tools.
Current kit includes:
Gerber Gator - 8" handle - "the knuckle buster" I like the ax head, the handle is a bit short. Great for splitting, use it with a baton.
Fiskars pruning saw - blade a tad short for those bigger jobs
SAK hunstman - saw works great with my fire steel. Larger blade is great for cutting and general camp chores
Buck 110 - Not always the most practical, but kind of a talisman for me.
Tools I am considering:
Fiskars 14 inch hatchet, CS Trail Hawk, Wetterlings wildlife axe, SAK one handed trekker, Silky Saw, Folding Buck saw (from Ben's backwoods). I am trying to combine my purchases from one vendor so I do not end up using too much of the budget on shipping charges.
Recommendations? Vendors?
