Me and my friends to name a few. We've been bringing axes when backpacking, especially in winter, since the 70s. Usually 1 to 1-1/2lb heads, 20-26" handles. Always have a hatchet and at least one saw as well. That Velvicut is a real nice axe, I know several people that have one.
It is idiotic to baton with a knife. Knives are made for slicing.
Wedges, froes and axes are made for splitting. Wedges can be made of many substances, including wood. I carved a nice set of wood wedges and used them for three years... until my friend's dog decided they were chew toys.

Zack.a.albanese13Nope. Batoning a knife is for clueless fools who do not understand tools, woodcraft, or life. Did you not read the very post you are responding too?? I covered how to work wood without batoning or an axe. Doh!

DuxDawgFirst off, im not carrying all that shit. Second using your knife to batton is another phrase for using your knife as a froe.
