The Camp Plus line takes that same hard-use approach and applies it to everyday outdoor tools. The Camp Plus Hatchet blends the two worlds it comes from: it has the clean, one-piece lines of a tactical hatchet with the practical size and balance of a bushcraft camp axe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy a One-Piece Hatchet?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eUnlike a traditional hatchet with a wooden handle wedged into a separate head, the Camp Plus is cut from a single piece of carbon steel that runs from the edge all the way through the handle. With no head to work loose and no wooden handle to crack, it shrugs off the overstrikes and hard landings that ruin cheaper hatchets. The head is forward-weighted, putting momentum behind every swing, and the black powder coat reduces glare and protects the steel from rust. The canvas micarta scales grip well even when wet and will develop a patina with use. A lanyard hole lets you add a wrist cord for extra control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt the Campsite\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Camp Plus is sized for the jobs most campers actually need a hatchet for: splitting and chopping kindling, limbing small branches, trimming poles for a shelter or tarp setup, and cleaning up deadfall around a fire ring. At about 22 ounces and 12\" long, it rides comfortably on a belt or strapped to a pack, which makes it a better fit for canoe trips, hunting camps, and car camping than a full-size axe. Hunters also find a compact hatchet handy for splitting a pelvis or brisket when processing game. Compared to a wood-handled hatchet, the full tang build means it will not need a handle replacement after a season of hard use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ontario","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67110031393009,"sku":"67110031393009","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/7043\/8085\/files\/ON4230CampPlusHatchet.jpg?v=1790961851","url":"https:\/\/www.americanapipedream.com\/products\/ontario-camp-plus-hatchet","provider":"Americana Pipedream Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
