Nice thread, engaging opinon's, etc. Hatchets are great tools, I've got several...
But who actually carries a hatchet backpacking?
I don't. Maybe for an overnighter but realistically, I have no real need for one. Unless it's an essential piece of gear I'm not carrying the extra weight. Of course, I'm still sorting out what is "essential".
My GB is a nice little toy for me that is mostly used in the backyard around the firepit.
