I was on a fire fighting hand crew for 4 years. The Pulaski was my main tool. I have a full size Pulaski, and when I saw this, I just had to get it. It just arrived today. I knew it was short, compared to a full sized one, but that is okay for me. I have been using my Pulaski quite a bit recently to clear blackberries by the roots. Every now and then, I find myself in areas where I am on my knees to get the blackberries growing among low branches of trees and shrubs. I was wishing for a tool that was a little shorter, and this fits the bill nicely. One feature that I really like on this Pulaski is the curve on the hoe end. On a regular Pulaski, the hoe is straight. The curve will add to it's digging ability and make for one mean tool for those tight spaces. I was thinking that it would be really amazing if they had a handle addition that could lock into the bottom metal piece, rendering it a full sized tool that could be unlocked to be the short handled tool that it is when you want it to be shorter. As far as the weight, that doesn't bother me. It feels very sturdy and well made. A Pulaski is not a light weight tool, and this one is very well made. I will be trying this out tomorrow.
I've been considering trying to make something similar to this. I currently have an axe sling within which I carry my day trip tools when outdoors: 1: Gransfors Bruks Small Forestry Axe (SFA) 2: Silky Gomboy handsaw 3: Secateurs 4: Small hand pick/mattock (HPM) 5: Leatherman Wave I would seriously consider replacing both the SFA and HPM with a single Barebones Pulaski or similar. Though from what I have seen from this review and others, I would probably use the head but refurb it and make my own handle, less round and without a steel bar in it to reduce weight. Understanding that for me, this sling pack represents the smallest/lightest possible collection of tools I can take with me, not knowing what I'll encounter. Not in a strict, hard-core survivalist scenario necessarily, but more for hiking, farm work etc. Just sharing to hear anyones thoughts... Cheers.
When all it would've took was one good swing from a real axe to cut that little sappling down, heck even my unborn childs lil hatchet would've done it, looks cool though. Reminds of them hardcore hammer axes I got, they look cool but thats about it. I would never waste my money again on that brand.
I use it mainly for trenching around tents. I also use it for splitting small sized logs, and found due to it weight, it’s excellent. It all in the technique of using a tool and the right tool ( i.e. people using a knife to baton when a small hatchet is a better tool to use. )

Could it bounce off the wood anybetter
Thanks for the honest review. I had concerns about the suboptimal ratio of length:weight.

That first bit was hard though watch lol
Thanks for the video might just pick one up but there isn’t any on the barebones hatchet but the company seems legitimate based on this review
Barebones is a legitimate company.
