  1. [18:46] <uncertainBypasser> Hey, I found the forum through google, and though it looks a bit serious, I figured yall would be the best people to ask about what a good general use hatchet or axe would be
  2. [18:47] <uncertainBypasser> any recommendations?
  3. [18:47] <@SandieGoGo> Hello!!!
  4. [18:48] <uncertainBypasser> Hi!
  5. [18:48] <@SandieGoGo> There are a lot of options that you have when youre looking for aXes but this is totally the right place to come for if you need help!
  6. [18:48] <uncertainBypasser> good to know I found the right place then.
  7. [18:49] <@SandieGoGo> What sort of price range were you thinking of??? There are quite a range of cheap axes up to collectors editions axes that are very valuable!!!
  8. [18:49] <@SandieGoGo> Certain metal alloys are more commonly used in certain models of aXes to make them more durable.
  9. [18:50] <@SandieGoGo> Sometimes it taXe different handle shapes to add different nuances to how you swing the aXe as well.
  10. [18:50] <@SandieGoGo> Different styles of handle affect the cost too.
  11. [18:50] <@SandieGoGo> Its very complicated!!!
  12. [18:50] <uncertainBypasser> I really just want something for chopping wood in the backyard, as well as the occasional small tree if I'm camping or something.
  13. [18:51] <uncertainBypasser> As for price, I don't want to spend a ton, no more than $15 for every year the thing will last.
  14. [18:51] <uncertainBypasser> maybe $20
  15. [18:51] <@SandieGoGo> Hmmmmmmmm.......
  16. [18:52] <@SandieGoGo> There is definitely a tradeoff between durability and cost. The size of the aXe is one of the biggest factors.
  17. [18:52] <uncertainBypasser> My dad and I aren't super buff, so nothing huge.
  18. [18:53] <@SandieGoGo> Were you thinking something bigger and two handed like those barbarian units in Civ, something really small that you could fold up and put in a purse or bag, or something more in between like what firefighters use to break things?
  19. [18:53] <uncertainBypasser> Woah, axe people that know Civ. That game is awesome.
  20. [18:54] <uncertainBypasser> Well, probably something that is closer to a firefighter size, it needs to be able to be used 1 handed.
  21. [18:54] <uncertainBypasser> No idea how those barbarians actually hold those massive things.
  22. [18:54] <@SandieGoGo> Okay, so portability isnt a huge priority then?
  23. [18:55] <uncertainBypasser> Not really. Worst case scenario I finally use up my strife specibus and allocate it.
  24. [18:55] <@SandieGoGo> Hahaha, I wouldn't imagine youd want an aXe that huge just for your backyard!!!!! It taXe a lot of muscle just to be able to hold one of those things, let alone swing it at an enemy unit.....
  25. [18:55] <uncertainBypasser> Indeed!
  26. [18:56] <@SandieGoGo> A medium aXe sounds like its the best option then.
  27. [18:57] <@SandieGoGo> You gave me a good number on the durability of the aXe, but how much total money were you wanting to spend?
  28. [18:57] <@SandieGoGo> Or how long do you want the aXe to last?
  29. [18:58] <uncertainBypasser> A good few years, at least six. I was looking at this: http://goo.gl/fjkjNJ - it seems to have good reviews, but I figured experts may know of a better one
  30. [18:58] <uncertainBypasser> The head is a bit small though, but I don't know much about axes
  31. [18:59] <@SandieGoGo> Yeah, that is a bit small if you are wanting to attack larger logs!!!
  32. [18:59] <@SandieGoGo> The Estwing Long Handle Camp Axe is a solid choice on the smaller side.
  33. [18:59] <@SandieGoGo> It is made with corrosion resistant metals and the slightly curved handle helps make shallower strokes easier.
  34. [19:00] <@SandieGoGo> The Browning Outdoorsman Axe is one of my personal favorites for casual use.
  35. [19:01] <@SandieGoGo> It has a larger blade that can make slicing through wood easier if you dont have too much Xperience with using aXes!!!!
  36. [19:01] <@SandieGoGo> Most of my serious business aXes are too big for what you want though......
  37. [19:01] <@SandieGoGo> I have allocated my aXes to my strife specibus.......
  38. [19:02] <@SandieGoGo> Duuuuuuuude I dont know if I wanna say this or not.
  39. [19:02] <@SandieGoGo> I like having my aXekind but I dont want more other people to have it!!!
  40. [19:02] <@SandieGoGo> Its really cool being the only person I know with it!!!
  41. [19:03] <@SandieGoGo> So I wanna say dont do it dont do it but that would be bad for me as a mod to say......
  42. [19:03] <@SandieGoGo> So how about this!!!
  43. [19:04] <@SandieGoGo> You know that I tooootally would say dont do it if I werent a mod but I am so I wont.
  44. [20:05] <@SandieGoGo> ;))))
  45. [20:05] <uncertainBypasser> Ah. The Browning Outdoorsman Axe sounds good.
  46. [20:05] <uncertainBypasser> I'll get it for when dad gets back from work in a few days, he should be suprised!
  47. [20:06] <@SandieGoGo> The metal head of that particular model is hot forged so it should totes be durable enough for you!!!
  48. [20:06] <@SandieGoGo> I hope he likes it :)))
  49. [20:06] <uncertainBypasser> Sounds great.
  50. [20:06] <uncertainBypasser> Good price too. I think Ill get that.
  51. [20:06] <uncertainBypasser> Thanks!
  52. [20:06] <@SandieGoGo> Do you need anything else about aXes???
  53. [20:06] <uncertainBypasser> Not really. I think that covers everything.
  54. [20:07] <@SandieGoGo> Great!
  55. [20:07] <@SandieGoGo> I have a...... sort of odd question.......
  56. [20:07] <@SandieGoGo> Now that all that business stuff is outta the way
  57. [20:07] <uncertainBypasser> ?
  58. [20:08] <@SandieGoGo> A friend and I sort of have this Civ club thing going! We play pretty regularly. Youre the first person Ive met here who likes it!
  59. [20:08] <@SandieGoGo> Do you wanna join us?
  60. [20:08] <@SandieGoGo> I know its kind of a weird thing to ask......
  61. [20:08] <uncertainBypasser> That sounds great! What time do you guys regularly play? I'm usually free most days since dad pulled me out of school.
  62. [20:08] <uncertainBypasser> Not at all, games are fun!
  63. [20:08] <@SandieGoGo> Oh he did????
  64. [20:08] <uncertainBypasser> Ya, decided that the public school system sucked.
  65. [20:09] <@SandieGoGo> Hmmmmm
  66. [20:09] <uncertainBypasser> I take most classes online now, also lets him teach me stuff when he's home.
  67. [20:09] <@SandieGoGo> Well its complicated but we play at exactly the same time every day.
  68. [20:09] <@SandieGoGo> Message me on Steam and we can do this!!!!!
  69. [20:09] <@SandieGoGo> I have the same username there. :DDDDDD
