According to the size, camping axes come in three types: small, medium, and large camping axes. Small camping axes tend to be 18 inches long, weighing around 1.5 to 2 pounds. They are ideal for splitting firewood, chopping down small trees, removing limbs, clearing brush and branches from an area, etc.
The Medium-sized axes are relatively light, and they weigh around 2 pounds. But they feature long handles of 24 inches. Campers use this tool when they need to accomplish the woodcutting task using one hand. This size axe is perfect for limbing trees.
The large ax is manufactured to cut down large trees, splitting big logs and wood. Large-sized camping axes are usually around 32 or 36 inches in length and three or more pounds in weight. They ensure a lot of kinetic energy in every swing. Anyway, the best ax-size depends on your needs. All of them are suitable for camping; you just need to use them correctly.
