I went for an overnight kayak trip on one of the larger lakes in the north east this past weekend. I brought my deer creek with me, a sawvivor, and a brkt golok. I found myself using the deer creek the most. One thing I have come to realize is that it is a ton of work to process firewood, especially when the diameter of the stuff you are splitting is much bigger than your wrist. I am finding the most effective way for me is to go for smaller stuff, cut it into mabe 2 foot lengths and split that up. Which is why a blade like the deer creek works do well for me. It seems when I go for bigger stuff, I'm killing myself on the saw, then having to beat the hell out of it with the Batton . I kinda think the calorie output vs wood produced isn't as effective. Just what I have noticed.

yeah. it's pretty nice. i grew up on the marsh on the north shore of Mass. i've been up here for 15 years now. folks are pretty mellow in VT, which actually took me a little getting used to. i just couldn't figure out why folks were so nice. 
but, now i am like the bumper sticker...I LUVERMONT. i love to ski, and the lake is an outstanding fishery.
next time you're up, (if'n ya want) hit me up...and we'll grab a pint.
