Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting Which Axe, again?

19.3 ounces... That's what a GB Outdoors Axe weighs.

What's your "very light saw" weigh? 6 ounces?

So for an increase in weight of a can of beer, I can pack a real tool that does 5 times as much [bleep]?



I also pack a 320 weight merino wool quarter zip instead of a fleece in the summer... Because it still insulates when wet, and it won't meltdown if a spark from the campfire hits it.
