I've not found a need for a saw, and carry a 23" splitting axe as opposed to a hatchet. If you have a hatchet or an axe you have no need for a hammer. Of course at 23" it isn't a toolbox item but fits in the storage compartment at the entry door nicely.
There are other brands out there but here's one similar to what I have.

A woman accumulating a "hope chest" of tools is a woman after my own heart! When you find yourself dreaming up a project just as an excuse to purchase yet another tool you're coveting, then you'll know you are full-blown tool crazy like some of the rest of us.

Don't forget a chain saw. Handy when a tree falls across the only access.

Thanks Bob. That's the same brand as my hatchet. Just the thing for splitting logs I presume. I knew you were a lumberjack at heart![emoji2]

Ooo, ooo! You and your husband need a Bobcat Skid Steer Loader with a forklift attachment for him and a "Limbinator" hydraulic-powered chainsaw attachment for you! Sounds like a his and hers joint anniversary present to me! It's a special day when your tool desires graduate to diesel-powered base units with hydraulic attachments!

Looks like they are pouring gas in the chain oil port.

Looks like a Poulan P3314 (laying on its right side for proper servicing). Fuel mix tank behind the hand-guard, Chain oil tank in front. Many chainsaws have a similar layout. So it looks to me like the ladies know their chainsaws. On the other hand, having a Poulan chainsaw in what appears to be a Husqvarna case would probably be considered an insult to one manufacturer or the other. By the way, if that's a Quacking Aspen tree, as it appears, you've got yourself some good firewood by Western standards or even some nice light-colored, figured lumber if you can get it to a sawmill. Makes for very attractive, light-colored wood paneling or rustic-looking wooden furniture perfect for furnishing a get-away mountain cabin.

Wait until you see how much the utility trailer is going to cost to haul all that around with you. Oh, and a second tow vehicle to tow that utility trailer. Who knew just preparing for camping could be so expensive?

For those who have never seen anything made from Aspen, here's a tabletop "Lazy Susan" (12 inch diameter). It's about 20 years old and has darkened a bit with age.

Those women would not make that mistake. They log for firewood as recreation.

Looks like I just identified a new species of tree, the "Quacking Aspen." So next time you're walking through the woods, and it sounds like you are surrounded by a whole paddling of ducks (that's an old English collective noun for a group of ducks), it might just be the trees quacking! That, or I meant "Quaking Aspen."

The original poster noted a hex key wrench set should be included in the tool box. Good call, but it should be a metric set if you want to adjust your Dometic Awning. You will probably want a set of individual pieces and should probably trim the short end of a 4mm wrench with a grinder so that it will fit between the fiberglass body and the bottom hex screws on the awning. Yes, custom tool. The awning parts are just aluminum so a cheap set should work.
