What are your favorite choppers and why? Let's try to divide it up into two categories, what you would take for a bug-out on foot and what you would pick for bugging in. Please don't post every chopper you own, just the best of the breed. That way people who may be looking for what to get, have an idea of the top performers. I’ll start.
For bugging out on foot, I’d take my Becker machete(www.knivesplus.com/CM-BK6-BKT.HTML). I’ve found it weighs about the same as my Cold Steel Trail Hawk(www.knifehog.com/p-2474-cold-steel-trail-hawk-tomahawk-90th.aspx?Trackingid:GoogleBase&cagpspn=pla&gclid=CKr0nZzjprECFQgGnQod4FYAKQ), but downs even hard wood faster and is way more useful for splitting wood and clearing trails.
For bugging in, nothing beats a full sized felling ax (www.buybrandtools.com/acatalog/felling-axe-single-bit.html)for taking down, limbing and splitting wood. That, a good bow saw(www.bohlfamily.com/bowsaw.html) and knife(www.knifecenter.com/kc_new/store_detail.html?s=ON9419TM) will get just about any outdoors chore done.
