Camp hatchet/axe

Hatchets worst problem is that they can ricochet, the lighter ones are far worse about this than the heavier ones. Estwing is the best made out there, the only hammer I have ever purchased as well... I trust them. You can also get them with a rubber handle. The metal goes to the bottom.
You WILL eventually miss, a tube handle will fold, you can end-up hurt badly or just with no hatchet, if you are very lucky.
It ain't camping to take it with you, but taking the wood with you already cut does just fine.
