- [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
- [18:47] <uncertainBypasser> any recommendations?
- [18:47] <@SandieGoGo> Hello!!!
- [18:48] <uncertainBypasser> Hi!
- [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!
- [18:48] <uncertainBypasser> good to know I found the right place then.
- [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!!!
- [18:49] <@SandieGoGo> Certain metal alloys are more commonly used in certain models of aXes to make them more durable.
- [18:50] <@SandieGoGo> Sometimes it taXe different handle shapes to add different nuances to how you swing the aXe as well.
- [18:50] <@SandieGoGo> Different styles of handle affect the cost too.
- [18:50] <@SandieGoGo> Its very complicated!!!
- [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.
- [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.
- [18:51] <uncertainBypasser> maybe $20
- [18:51] <@SandieGoGo> Hmmmmmmmm.......
- [18:52] <@SandieGoGo> There is definitely a tradeoff between durability and cost. The size of the aXe is one of the biggest factors.
- [18:52] <uncertainBypasser> My dad and I aren't super buff, so nothing huge.
- [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?
- [18:53] <uncertainBypasser> Woah, axe people that know Civ. That game is awesome.
- [18:54] <uncertainBypasser> Well, probably something that is closer to a firefighter size, it needs to be able to be used 1 handed.
- [18:54] <uncertainBypasser> No idea how those barbarians actually hold those massive things.
- [18:54] <@SandieGoGo> Okay, so portability isnt a huge priority then?
- [18:55] <uncertainBypasser> Not really. Worst case scenario I finally use up my strife specibus and allocate it.
- [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.....
- [18:55] <uncertainBypasser> Indeed!
- [18:56] <@SandieGoGo> A medium aXe sounds like its the best option then.
- [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?
- [18:57] <@SandieGoGo> Or how long do you want the aXe to last?
- [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
- [18:58] <uncertainBypasser> The head is a bit small though, but I don't know much about axes
- [18:59] <@SandieGoGo> Yeah, that is a bit small if you are wanting to attack larger logs!!!
- [18:59] <@SandieGoGo> The Estwing Long Handle Camp Axe is a solid choice on the smaller side.
- [18:59] <@SandieGoGo> It is made with corrosion resistant metals and the slightly curved handle helps make shallower strokes easier.
- [19:00] <@SandieGoGo> The Browning Outdoorsman Axe is one of my personal favorites for casual use.
- [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!!!!
- [19:01] <@SandieGoGo> Most of my serious business aXes are too big for what you want though......
- [19:01] <@SandieGoGo> I have allocated my aXes to my strife specibus.......
- [19:02] <@SandieGoGo> Duuuuuuuude I dont know if I wanna say this or not.
- [19:02] <@SandieGoGo> I like having my aXekind but I dont want more other people to have it!!!
- [19:02] <@SandieGoGo> Its really cool being the only person I know with it!!!
- [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......
- [19:03] <@SandieGoGo> So how about this!!!
- [19:04] <@SandieGoGo> You know that I tooootally would say dont do it if I werent a mod but I am so I wont.
- [20:05] <@SandieGoGo> ;))))
- [20:05] <uncertainBypasser> Ah. The Browning Outdoorsman Axe sounds good.
- [20:05] <uncertainBypasser> I'll get it for when dad gets back from work in a few days, he should be suprised!
- [20:06] <@SandieGoGo> The metal head of that particular model is hot forged so it should totes be durable enough for you!!!
- [20:06] <@SandieGoGo> I hope he likes it :)))
- [20:06] <uncertainBypasser> Sounds great.
- [20:06] <uncertainBypasser> Good price too. I think Ill get that.
- [20:06] <uncertainBypasser> Thanks!
- [20:06] <@SandieGoGo> Do you need anything else about aXes???
- [20:06] <uncertainBypasser> Not really. I think that covers everything.
- [20:07] <@SandieGoGo> Great!
- [20:07] <@SandieGoGo> I have a...... sort of odd question.......
- [20:07] <@SandieGoGo> Now that all that business stuff is outta the way
- [20:07] <uncertainBypasser> ?
- [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!
- [20:08] <@SandieGoGo> Do you wanna join us?
- [20:08] <@SandieGoGo> I know its kind of a weird thing to ask......
- [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.
- [20:08] <uncertainBypasser> Not at all, games are fun!
- [20:08] <@SandieGoGo> Oh he did????
- [20:08] <uncertainBypasser> Ya, decided that the public school system sucked.
- [20:09] <@SandieGoGo> Hmmmmm
- [20:09] <uncertainBypasser> I take most classes online now, also lets him teach me stuff when he's home.
- [20:09] <@SandieGoGo> Well its complicated but we play at exactly the same time every day.
- [20:09] <@SandieGoGo> Message me on Steam and we can do this!!!!!
- [20:09] <@SandieGoGo> I have the same username there. :DDDDDD
- [20:09] <uncertainBypasser> Sounds good!
- [20:09] <uncertainBypasser> Ill send you a friend invite.
- [20:10] * uncertainBypasser adds SandieGoGo on steam
- [20:10] <@SandieGoGo> Yay!!!!
- [20:10] <uncertainBypasser> Sounds good, contact me before your next game!
- [20:11] <@SandieGoGo> We probs shouldnt talk too much about stuff on the official aXes channel here but we can talk on steam :)))))
- [20:11] <uncertainBypasser> Got it.
- [20:11] <uncertainBypasser> Bye!
- [20:11] <@SandieGoGo> Ttyl!!!
