What is the point of taking an axe bushcrafting?

[Grebby]

Another point to this is "want". What we want to be doing and what tools we want to be playing with. Lets face it, none of use NEED to be out doing bushcraft/camping/outdoors stuff at all. It's all a "want".

If you are going out to play, then play with stuff you like.

I think my OP got lost in translation which was my fault sorry as I didnt explain it properly. I was referring to lone bushcrafting on an area near me which some of you may have guessed where it is. I dont own the land, not looking to set up anything permanent, I'm processing wood for a collapsible stove (One Tigris) so no need for a huge campfire. I'm not driving to the site but walking so have no access to get fresh supplies. I thought our main ethos of bushcrafting was to leave no trace which I truly believe in.
Yes I am proficient in the use of both short and long handle axes.
I also have moderate skills at woodworking.
My pack is a 60l Dutch Army Sack which on its own weighs quite heavy never mind being fully loaded.
Hope this helps for any future posts x

Yes, that's a heck of a lot of constraints that would have been useful for your OP!

For those on the fence, the axe head setups are really good in a pinch

Now that I really like, great set up. Pity they don't sell the axe any more. Maybe I could make a poor version out of some steel plate.
