Can you put a hatchet instead of ice ax?

I assume you're referring to the short clip/bottom loop location on the rear of the pack? I use that for trekking poles when not needed, as I think that's what it's designed for. Could be wrong. Otherwise, I have nothing but positive things to say about this pack.

Depending on the width of the shaft. There are two elastic mesh side pockets that cinch around whatever sticks out.

I would not see why not, just line one of the blades with the cock feather and it should shoot fine... If it dose not line up and you are using aluminum shafts, get a torch to heat up the aluminum feral inside the shaft and get ether a broad head wrench or pliers while it is still hot and turn one of the blades to aline with cock feather

The short answer is no. (Just my opinion) hawks, hatchets, machetes, and using a hearty knife/baton technique, are all equally effective for camp chores. It's all a matter of preferences. I like the detachable head of the tomahawk, for ease of packing and the convenient hammer. The hatchet will chop just as easily too.

Use a saw not an axe for that kinda work. You can easily just smash through a branch that size with an axe, but you are going to ruin your edge. Best to just get a pruning saw and saw those pieces down to size. If they are really twiggy branches, use a small hand axe to clear the twigs off.

im sure you could if you really wanted to, I I have never thought about using this to do so. I would recommend using the seal pup or a deer dressing knife.

If you mean like chop down a tree... You could however I would get a different axe if your doing a lot of that type chopping

Yes. I glued them with wood glue and predrilled and countersunk for a small screw in each end. Another alternative would be get a 12" black iron pipe and two end caps and get rid of the wooden handle provided. This would give you more leverage but you really don't need that much. Besides, if your shop is cold the pipe will be cold to the touch also. Your choice.

Yes it can but when you take the Axe out you can cut your self with the top. And don't sharpen the blades.

I'm planning on wrapping my handle with some hockey tape or something with some grip to it (amazon B000O70K5Y or something like that) - anyone here tried that with an axe?

Not very well. It doesn't even preform it's primary function as a tamahawk. Ur better off getting an actual hatchet/pocket axe

Not sure about a chain saw, but certainly an axe. If you're thinking of hanging the chain saw by the handle grip - possibly (depending on the opening, angle, etc.) I've used these at my place of work to hang first aid responder bags. As long as they are properly anchored, I don't see why you could not hang an axe. Just be sure to check the weight limitations from the manufacturer

It's very thin, you'd be better off using the hilt or maybe going with a SOG tomahawk. It's a great axe for light work, and weighs very little if you're concerned about lightening a hiking pack.

I suppose you could try .... You can also 'try' to use a sword to open a can of corn, but I wouldn't recommend it. Use the right tool for the right job, and you'll keep your fingers longer. If you want something to "gut dear wit", try using a knife with a gut hook or just a gut hook. I would leave this axe to do what it was designed to do. Chop small branches into firewood, or ... brain a zombie while on the run.

I'm not positive, the only thing that I can offer is that a machete needs to be sharper than an axe or hatchet.

yes you can do it but mine broke after some time; also it is not powerful enough when it is "really" cold.

ONLY regular ice cubes will work. You would have to chisel off chunks of a block to fit them in the chute.

I've not used it for a hatchet but lots of other garden tools. It worked great for everything I've tried so far. I watched some videos on u tube of people using it before I purchased it.
