This has been on my mind for a while. It seems every youtube knife reviewer has to show how well a knife can be batoned through a 4 inch stick to make two 2 inch sticks. Maybe it's the environment I've become used to or maybe I'm just lucky but I've never been in a situation where I've found 4 inch sticks and had a shortage of smaller sticks in an hour of 2 inch stick need. I'm trying to think of an actual survival situation where someone would actually need to baton a knife through wood and am not really coming up with anything..... In fact, I have to wonder if it's a practice that in a real survival situation is an unnecessary expenditure of calories when kindling could be just be foraged a lot easier. Your thoughts?
