Picaroon - any good?

[Coletti]

I had considered getting an ice axe and they can be had for reasonable money on the bay. The oregon ones are very similar to ice axes and yes they are pricey but they are far superior to the likes of the stihl one in my opinion, I'm certainly not regretting spending the extra money

I think it's just a costume so he can have a controversial avatar. Probably normally works in beanie and Kevlar jockstrap...

 

Dinosaw, any chance of a picture of your home made picaroon?

Don't know if it's attached, if not will try later...

[Dinosaw]

Sorry about that, it was the right way up when I attached it!

Looks really good Dinosaw,

 

Better than the one i just bought I'd say

I have a log rite one from Orion heating. Very light to use, love it. Looked at the Sthil ones but thought they were a bit heavy

[bushtuckaman]

Thanks Dinosaw! Well done, it looks great!

Fiskars do a nice one for about £60

I have a metal one identical to the Oregon one always found it very useful saves bending down to drag rings about. I am not sure I would get on well with a heavy wooden one especially if I missed the wood and it was heading for a shin.
