if you have a saw and one of Cold Steel's shovels. Axes have sent 2 people (out of 44 so far) home with injuries. What works ok in nice weather, when you're well rested, well fed, well-hydrated and healthy is not the same when those conditions are far from your reality. Trying not to screw-up (at least to not do so big time) on international TV is a pretty heavy stress to have on yourself, too. Me, I'll use my body weight to break off dead wood, or a big club, so that chances of serious injury are greatly reduced. If I can't break it, then I'll use the saw. I would NOT take a big 2- handed saw, tho. I'd take a Silky and not the folder, either. When you know to use a combo of hot rocks, the Dakota Fire pit, and the Siberian fire lay, you dont need to do much bucking and almost no splitting of wood.
