What Tang Style Satisfies Your Preparedness Confidence?

[overanalyzer]

When going for a walk in the woods with only a fixed blade (hatchet and saw stay at home), does a full tang or usmc kabar style tang satisfy your preparedness confidence? I hear the strength of a kabar style tang is sufficient. Others claim that only a full tang makes sense because you want as much strength for the unknown as possible. How do you all see it? Thanks all.

A properly executed rat tail tang is sufficient for me. Know thy tool, and its limits. It will not likely fail you if used intelligently.

I'd prefer a full exposed tang, so that I can do stupid things with it and not have it snap on me.

Tapered tang with an exposed pommel for crushing.

When I make a knife, it's always exposed full tang.
