if your on a budget, go to a pawn shop and find a shinglers hammer,it has a 1 1/2 wide blade you can sharpen, about 5-6 inches long, and a hammer head
on other end handle is one piece, 2$ last one i bought.cold steel sells special forces shovel, its highly rated,very versatile.regular hatchets and
short axes do work great, but they are WAY too dangerous, they always seem to be too close to parts of your body, and too readily to cut you. a long
handled light axe is way to go, if you intend to use it a lot.you need distance to keep the sharp edge from your body parts,a deep cut in the boonies
means death.estwing sells these with a one piece head and handle you can hammer with.for light duty the small shovel can be sharpened on one side and
will chop very well,just get a high quality one.for a saw, take with you a bow saw blade,and run a 2 inch long bolts though holes on both ends , with
a nut and tighten,cut a branch,one foot longer than blade, slot with bow saw blade on both ends 2 inches deep,bend branch and install blade into
slots,and presto,wood branch bow saw.kukuri knifes can be good tools ,but most are cheap and made from soft steel, they dull as fast as you can
sharpen them,they need carefull handling too, you cant carry all the knives and hatchets and axes you want too.survival knives are overated and most
uneccasary,a 4-5 inch sheath knife ,good quality will do most of what you require of it,and a swiss army knife,then deside on the larger
axe,machete,shovel,and call it done.
