Splitting axe or Maul?

[M Kesik]

If you are heading out to chop some wood, will you grab a maul or splitting axe? Let the poll begin!

 

[Vance Hogg]

Axe for me, don't even own a maul

 

[Steve Messer]

I'd have no problems with either, but in my kit is just an ax.

 

[Jared McDaniel]

Isn't a maul a sledge hammer with one side sharpened as an axe? LOL a bit much for my camping needs. That said, we do have an mid sized axe in our recovery gear bag.

 

[Jerry Waters]

No need for an maul, got an axe, which was something I picked up on Amazon a few years ago for $80

 

[Chris B Offroad]

+1 Ax is all we need

 

[RoarinDave]

Ax

 

[Bryan Dulaney]

An ax is lighter and IMO much more versatile for camping needs.

 

[Salvador]

+1 axe

 

[Ken S]

For my overlanding rig, an ax. But I do own a maul, however that is kept in my wood shop for splitting wood for winter load.

 

[Frank Vos]

Axe for me

 

[Vincent Peri]

two axes

 

[Cole Barth]

Axe

 

[F Camper]

LOL I thought they were the same. But now that you have shared this and I've looked, an ax for me

 

[Randy]

Maul is something I would associate with huge logs. I have a Axe, small one and it works well for me
