Hi Guys - new to the forum and first post.
I'm a Scout Leader (and in the RAF) and have been skirting around the Bushcraft world for years.
Well, I've now taken the plunge, really enjoying it, and have been starting to purchase equipment.
I have; a Mora knife, DD Hammock and Tarp, Honey Stove, Laplander (from my sons for my Xmas Present) and a 12cm Zebra billy.
I feel what I am lacking is an Axe. Having looked around t'internet, I think what I want is a Gransfor Bruks Small Forest Axe.
Really, I want a good all round axe, not to heavy to carry, large enough to do some decent work with, but small enough to use for making kindling and maybe a bit of whittling to shift the big stuff before I use a knife.
You guys are the experts, and I could do with some advice. Money is a consideration, but I think if you get the product right first time you save in the long run.
Thanks
Mark
