The Right Axe Simplifies Your Camping Experience

i remember the first time my folks ever took me camping i was 12 years old.  we got to the camping site, pitched our tent, located a fallen tree in the woods, and started trying to build a fire.  it was not a problem finding enough leaves and small twigs to get the fire started, but the axe that we had brought with us was in terrible shape and dulled very quickly even though my dad had sharpened it right before we left.

the thing i remember the most about that camping trip is standing in the woods shivering while my dad kept trying to hack at the tree.  i learned a very low valuable lesson that weekend: having the right equipment can make all the difference in the world in your camping experience.

a sharp axe makes life easier

if you have ever tried to cut firewood with a dull axe, then you already know what a joy it is to pick up a sharp one and start slicing through the wood.  because of the way that they are manufactured some axes will hold a sharp edge for much longer than others.  these axes are the ones you want to keep in your camping tool chest.
