Neither. I'll take a saw.
Saws are no fun

Nice! I have an old (40+ years) corn knife that I might have to trim down a little to look like that. It's plenty old and ugly enough that I don't cry when I ding it, for sure!
I've had great luck with a small machete for general woods bumming. Does as well as my old Boy Scout Plumb hatchet.
The interesting thing with "machete vs. hatchet" threads is how divisive they can get due to people arguing from their personal situation and preferences, when it is clear that different situations and preferences lead to different choices in tools.
I don't see it as "either/or" as much as "either/or in what context."
Not necessarily. I find I have no use for a knife with 4-6 inch blade. A SAK and a tomahawk/hatchet is what I need.
In the South or Southeast, I think a machete gets the nod unless.... The woods can be very dense with vegetation and you always have to be concerned about snakes.
If you do more crafts. Machete.
