Looks like a Coon hunters belt.
If you are going to tap wedges, those hatchets will be fine. If you are going to drive wedges, you need a working axe. Those hatchets are worthless if you need to wedge a back-leaner, or free a pinched saw.

Here is my current rig. It is a Truper 3lb. rafting axe w/ 20 in. handle. It just depends on what I'm doing, but if I need to wedge and am going to be moving a lot this is what I wear.
If you're gonna do any heavy wedging, the normal curved axe handle can be a real PITA.[/B]

Thats part of why I cut mine to 22". The 3.5lb. Truper I've got came with a 26 or 28" handle that was curved at the end. Cut it off sanded it up and now I can swing er like a hammer one handed, but still long enough to get two hands on it when needed. It was cheap like $13 at Menards and does the trick. I let it swing off of a metal loop hammer holder on my belt for easy access. It was also gettin tangled in my legs at the original length. Cheap and simple.
Thats what I carry on my chaps belt. But, I gotta know, where'd you get that scabbard.
I had to make my own - 'cause I could NOT find one!!!
I sent pix to Baileys and others.
Even asked at several logger suppliers when in Oregon.
They all said "not here".
What axe/hatchet do you guys recommend for wedge driving?
