Axes

Just the other day I found an old axe head covered in rust. I think that I'll clean it up a bit, re-handle it, re-coat it, and sharpen it up. Axes are good primary bush-craft tools that need a bit of care. I have been using a cheap axe from the store that has a fiberglass handle, a cold steel tomahawk, and a simple hatchet. Most of the time I don't need to use the large axe.
In my own opinion the tomahawk is the best tool for the outdoors. This is because one can remake a wooden handle with ease when it comes to tomahawks. Yet, if one wanted to remake a handle for an axe they would be hard pressed to pull it off. I might also add that a tomahawk with a hammer on it is an even better tool for the great outdoors, as this add the benefit of being able to pound things out without having to find a rock.
Also, with the added benefit of being able to remove the head with ease the tomahawk head can be used as a knife, or fashioned into different bush-crafting devices. If the tomahawk head is well kept it may also be used as a makeshift knife. In my opinion this is a very versatile bush-crafting device. Yet, with it's versatility it also lacks in specific duties. One would not want to go out into the pinewood forest and fell trees with the tomahawk. It bares the same qualities of the single shot shotgun.

Still the most versatile tool we need to keep honed is our mind. For me and my house we will chose to follow the Lord. It is my opinion that Jesus is the great victor and if you are not with him it doesn't matter if you have an entire army on your side.


Blessings as you go throughout this week.
