I agree Deva... I couldn't imagine not havin' at least a single bit axe with me to drive wedges... that sharp side of that single bit comes in handy just like you said.
Also comes in handy swampin' out brush. :)

Ol' Faithful, and Ol' Reliable...
Ol' Faithful (axe) has seen it's fair share of wedge poundin' over the years... :)
Ol' Reliable (maul) has only been used twice on some big wood to drive wedges.

I tried the rock thing one time too... when I forgot the axe in the truck and I was 100 yards down the hill...
It don't work as good as you would think.
Like Burnhan said... head speed. Just like in baseball and golf... it's all about head speed to drive through the wedge. Good hand eye...
Yup... single bit axe here too. (Must be a PNW thing again...) It had a straight handle on it when I bought it about 20 years ago. It got busted when it got run over in the woods awhile back... have a "curved" handle on it now.
Works just as good. :thumbup:
