Oh, no doubt! The Laplander gets the job done. But most of my camping is dispersed so I'm almost always gathering up a lot of wood. A buddy of mine has a professional grade chainsaw (a Husquarava he bought while working for the forest service) which he'll bring along if we're not hiking in. Great for those forest service/access roads that lead way back into the stick. But if I'm hiking in I like my Katanaboy.
