I saw one of those survival cards with fishing hooks and a frog gig, I think that may be useful, but all the other survival cards I think are just a gimmick, but it's fun watching you test stuff like that out anyways, so thanks for the entertainment!

[@cmbaz1140]

After all those tests and reviews i wonder what your survival axe design would look like... the main problem with those survival cards seems to be either the lack of proper weight or the saw failing to properly build a handle in the first place...

Great entertainment, Cody, as always. In fairness, though, as a lifetime camper who's occasionally "Left Home Without it," I gotta say that gimmick would've come in handy a few times. Beats the pucky out of a river rock, as you suggested. Like the old saw: "What's the best carry gun; the one you have on you!" Few would seriously expect a wallet survival tool to compare, favorably, to a woodland hatchet.

I got one of these as a gift from a well meaning friend. filed set into the saw and hardened the cutting edge. Also put an edge on the broad head. It’s still not a go to tool but for something to always have in your wallet it’s not bad for 20 bucks.

[@Warpfield]

Consider, if that was your only tool in a survival situation, (i.e. no knife or saw), you could use the axe blade to split the end of the stick just deep enough to contain the head. Then use your paracord, because we all carry that stuff, to bind it tightly to the stick.
