My purchase this week:
The original Vietnam Tomahawk, SOG's F01T-N Tactical Tomahawk is the latest incarnation of one of history's most unusual weapons. This versatile piece of equipment handles a number of tasks including excavation, operations breaching, obstacle removal, and extraction, which makes the F01T-N an ideal tool for military and service personnel.

One of my essentials is a solar shower,
Many manufacturers available and thse get water so hot it is capable of pasteurization. Good for hygene and even disinfecting water in sunny weather.

Nice model. I prefer the wooden handle myself. If the shaft breaks, which CAN happen when bonking the hard head of some commie pig, you can always fashion a new one from good hickory.
I think, (but I’m pretty sure) the tomahawk was an English or Irish import to the country. American nations knew a good thing when they saw it and adopted it as their own.
Now, some one of you who has for real knowledge of the history of this marvelous tool, pleas educate me.
(BTW, a folding entrenching tool is a good stand in any day.)
As for gunz and bulletz. Single shot fold away camping .22 with stinger or hyper velocity rounds. Fit in your pocket. Or, better yet, one of those old over-under 20 gauge/.22 combos. Break down to small carry, can kill birds and beasts, and ammo is cheap and plentiful. Especially in a barter situation.

I've long been an advocate of tomahawks as they are exceptionally versatile. SOG is a good make, but if you'd ever want to practice the art of throwing them, you'd be better with a smooth wooden handle, like the Cold Steel copy of the original Viet Nam 'hawk...

Thank you for the info. I just ordered two from Amazon. One is enough to give you free shipping...$27.18 each. Looks like a great tool! And it comes with a belt holder.

Costco online has a SOG package with a machete, hatchet, and a really cool multitool for $129.
