Judging from the number of axes and knives people seem to think they need and the tactical chic clothing they wear I'd say Testosterone might have a lot to do with it for some folks...

Im going to put them on Swapshop and get a load of beeswax and Biscuits Fruit in return...

"You can never have too many axes": Wiglaf the wise.

How many is too many tho? You can only use one at a time...tho I must admit to having two small generic cheap "kindling " axes, one forest axe and a splitting maul, plus three billhooks, which are just as good as an axe for many jobs.....
I used a bill hook for everything, untill I discovered kit monkey syndrome.
I need therapy! Must get out in the woods and play with all my toys, it's good therapy!
For me, the whole thing is about being out in the woods, a hammock and tarp, a fire, some nice food cooked over the fire, " woodland tv" and no electronics. ! Simple living, back to nature, and away from all the crap of modern life. Though I try to bring it into everyday life aswell as my special times out and about. Some people just can't exist outside a hotel room when away from home, and without a shower, a TV or the Internet.
