How to pick the best axe for the job at hand

CAMPING AXE

Made for common chores such as chopping and splitting wood, camping axes have handle lengths varying from 18 to 32 inches and head weights ranging between 700 grams and 1.1 kilograms. They are commonly gripped low on the long handle with two hands for chopping and splitting, or with one hand choked up on the handle for more refined work, such as crafting stakes or shaving tinder sticks.
