I didn't get very far on it, just some random items I could find.

IFAK

Yellow Pliers

Keybar

I tried to be as accurate as I could be. If the item has exact information about it in game, I will try to find that exact item. Otherwise I choose whatever looks closest.

Silky Yoki, 530 odd grams + sheath. Not cheap though

About half the weight of a decent parang. Pack a tourniquet too though...

Shame on you lot downvoting for bushwacking - there's plenty of other hiking in the world besides the ConUS, some of it requires cutting growth because there are no trail crews...

In case you want to get one lol:

update: just got it delivered. nice little hatchet. very small light yet hefty for chopping

While I agree generally with what everyone else is saying, there is one circumstance when I cut wood. Sometimes, state parks where I live cut up downed trees and pile it up near backcountry sites and it still needs to be split or cut into smaller pieces. You can get a pretty lightweight backpacking hatchet for this. I have this one.

I've tried a LOT of different knives in a wide range of sizes and 4-5" seems to be ideal for me. I want a blade that's at least twice as long as the thickness of anything I'd try to baton and I don't really need to baton anything thicker than 2 inches. In my opinion, batoning is for making kindling and I use anything larger than 2" as fuel, not kindling.

Take a look at this picture for a second. That's a 20.8oz Gerber Bear Grylls Survival Hatchet and a 22.5oz Ontario RTAK II, after the same number of chops on the same log. The RTAK II is a BIG knife made for chopping wood but it can't even match the performance of a hatchet that is both smaller, lighter and 1/3 of the price.

You say hatchets are "specialized" tools as if they aren't capable of more than 1 or 2 things, but a good hatchet is one of the most versatile tools available. I carved my first bow drill kit with a Fiskars X7, in addition to chopping, limbing, splitting, carving feather sticks, etc.

I've had a KaBar Becker BK7, Ontario RAT 5, multiple machetes and other big knives but even though my BK7 chopped and split better than my current ESEE 4, it sucked at everything else and my $25 Fiskars X7 still chopped and split better. I've just never found big knives to be as useful as a good hatchet (or a folding saw) paired with a well made work knife, like an ESEE 4. That combo offers FAR more versatility, which saves you calories, for only a few more ounces and for the price difference, you can save weight elsewhere by splurging a little on Titanium cookware.

All that being said, if I could only take a knife with me, then I'd take a BK7 or an ESEE 6, but I'd still prefer a good hatchet over either of them.

These two are 1lb+ each:

• Gerber Back Paxe II
  
  
• Bear Grylls Survival Hatchet
  
  I have the former and found it insufficient. I got the Gerber Sport Axe II. It is 22oz and ~14" long. I find that much better.
  
  If you have the money, find a Wetterlings

I get my information on the sale from Keepa, a plugin for chrome that tracks prices on Amazon.

Gotcha, use this then.

Those Cold Steel Machete's are fun and actually seem to hold up pretty well, but in my experience you have to do more with them out of the box than you do with other blades.

This also gets pretty high reviews, and having watched some video reviews of it on Youtube I picked it up and have not been disappointed.

All that said, I've had really good luck with Condor Big Blades.

I'm an arborist who lives in northeastern USA, so I have little experience with palms. I do have experience with silky brand hand saws, which are excellent. I can't imagine their machete would be much different. Here's the Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/Silky-Saws-Chopper-Black-Silver/dp/B006J1HH7S

Interesting suggestion, took a look at a few, but I'm thinking they might be a little large for my purposes.

I live in the pacific northwest and enjoy camping in and around our rainforest areas.

I find that for making camp that my kukri style machete fits well.

I know most people say don't use one, but as someone that enjoys picking a spot and staying there a bit - I find it useful. I don't focus on ultralight camping or anything.

Have fun camping!

Sagen Hunters Field Saw I https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002LMKRTE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_IwCsybVY36EZ4

Best $20 I've spent. Just makes cutting the sternum and pelvis so much easier

As an ex-cop who still teaches SAR, First Aid, CPR and more, I'm all about being prepared.

I have one of these in all my cars and trucks.
It's 2 feet long, takes up no space, and would be invaluable for helping someone trapped in a car, or child or dog on a hot day.

Go through the side windows if you can. They crumble. The front, rear, and apparently the sunroof are laminated, and and a bit more trouble to remove. You may have to peel the whole thing out of your way.

Alternately, you could just get a small hatchet at any hardware store.

Be prepared!
