Besides the obvious, like for chopping firewood, it may not be apparent why you’d want to carry a hatchet, so let’s break it down. If you’re camping, you’ll need firewood, sure, but you might also need to clear some brush for a campsite, clear wood and branches out of your way while hiking, and much more. Having a lightweight hatchet on hand, like this one, will really be useful, especially with its proprietary design.

The Lexivon V14 is made of forged, Grade-A carbon steel, with a heat-treated blade, and a fiber-glass composite handle. The handle is shock absorbing, has an anti-slip grip, and is weather resistant, so it’s ready for the great outdoors. The axe handle also has a reinforced back spine so it’s more durable and will withstand extreme impacts. The blade angle is optimized for chopping, specifically, so it’s great for chopping firewood, breaking down logs, stripping branches, and kindling.

It even comes with a protective carrying sheath and a blade edge guard to keep it secure when you’re traveling or moving, or when its not in use. Lexivon crafted it to match old-school resilience albeit using new-world technologies. That means this camping hatchet should last you a long while, if not indefinitely.

Normally $45, thanks to the current hatchet deal the Lexivon V14 is down to $27. When you clip an on-page coupon, the price lowers even more to $25, saving you $20. About the price of two large burgers for a nigh-indestructible camping hatchet? That seems like a fantastic deal to me. I don’t have this model exactly but I do have a camping hatchet that I use around the house. We have some Hibiscus that tend to go crazy every few months — they grow like weeds. The hatchet comes in handy trimming branches and unruly greenery.

Winter doesn't have to be the end of your camping season. Sure, during the summer, many of our camping gear tips focus on staying lightweight and trying to be as minimalist as possible. In winter, some of this goes out of the window. After all, winter camping means more than just throwing in an extra insulated jacket and a few beanie hats. It means long nights under the stars, freezing temperatures, and changeable weather to contend with.

Now, we haven't put together this list of the best winter camping gear as an exhaustive camping packing list, and what you take with you will depend on your camping style. Are you going roadside and camping from the car? Or do you need to haul everything ten miles over a mountain pass to get to your remote real estate? Either way, there will be something on this list for you, we almost guarantee it.
