    Perhaps...in a Bostonian accent.

    Chadwick, I loaned my hatchet out and now it is gone.


    I bought a new one, it only has an 8inch shaft, never had such a short one. I gave it a 10 minute trial in a blizzard last night and my first impression is that it is perfect for me. Most of it's use will be in splitting kindling from already quartered logs, the short shaft makes for a more precise chop, I can practically whittle with it...maybe I can, I will have to try it on the big trip next week.
    I will let you know if it works out, and if the knife that goes into the handle falls and impales my big toe I will be sure to take a picture.

    I let my best friend borrow my carcamp tote, then a few weeks later I let my old man borrow the same tote...
    I don't know who misplaced it, it may even have been me, perhaps I will find it when I clean my disaster of a barn. Anyways it is nowhere to be found and I need it for N Carolina so I bought a new one.

    If I don't find it I will buy a 3/4 size axe for chopping through the monster poison ivy and grape vines that try to strangle my woods into an impenetrable breadtangle.

    The blizzard hatchet test made me think of you, I came inside and my wife said "Did you just go out in the snow in flip flops to test your new axe? You are ridiculous."
    Yes ma'am.

    so a carcamp tote holds a few different sized axes & hatchets? poison ivy... nice stuff oozing yellow pus. i am envious just a bit, you've woodpiles to chop, stack & fuck around with. splitting firewood is perfect in a nice rain, some of the best times. be careful not to drop those blades or logs on your exposed toes, you need your boots, mr. but i get it, folks get excited & all

    The carcamp tote has just the one hatchet, along with a kettle for strong coffee and hot oatmeal. Knives, ladle, skillet, soap, steel wool, twines lines and ropes, firegloves, shmallow roaster, chili pot and bowls, boy scout mess kits, flashlights, more knives, hand sanitizer, butt powder, duct tape, propane, tent stakes, collapsible water jug, bear bag, seam sealer, flask, and a condom that the wife doesn't even know about.

    I'm thinking you were probably so excited that you made a decision, as head of the family, to forget waiting for harvest day and allow everyone an additional lick of the family lolli eh?

    chadwick, what is your opinion of axes like this? Saw something similar yesterday and thought of you.

    To me, it looks like (ie, IS) a piece of art.
