Hey fellow outdoors men, I am having a great time on here so far. There are some amazing pictures of some great shots, awesome gun set ups and amazing advice. Which brings me to my question; what is better for backpack hunting a hatchet or an entrenching tool?
I am planning a little hunting/camping trip this fall and I will be trying to be as lightweight as possible while still having the equipment I need to go out in the wilderness for about a week. I want to have something that can deal with the brush/logs that I come across so that I can make firewood if need to which is why I was thinking hatchet, but I also like the idea of having an e-tool so that I can dig holes for paperwork and use the saw blade on any wood I need. What recommendations do you smart people have, should I take one or the other or possibly try and take both? And what would be some good backpack options so I don't weight myself down no matter what I choose? Thanks in advance for all the answers everyone
Thanks to some great advice on here, I decided to ditch both the hatchet and the entrenching tool so I could get a nice hunting saw instead and as the Wyoming saw got great reviews here, I looked around and was able to find one online at http://www.used.forsale/hunting-saw-used-for-sale that I am loving. Used it around the property yesterday to see how quick it cut through wood and how heavy it was to carry and I am very pleased.
