So this weekend was Week 6 of Adventure Tour. I've skipped a week of submitting because I did not take pictures the last couple times I was out.
This weekend was amazing. Drove roughly 70-80miles of gravel roads this weekend. As the title of this post states there is now a rule that my buddy and I have adopted for our outings and that is: "If the road splits we must take the one that appears to ascend". It's lead to some absolutely great places! Best rule! My paint took an absolute beating this trip and yet, apart from the dirty scratches, appears to have held strong and I should be able to buff it all out. There were a number of spots where tree branches spanned across and touched eachother from both sides of the road and I plowed through. (I figure if it gets too bad I still have 2/3 of a gallon of paint left over for a respray). If you are thinking about a new, white paint job for your car I HIGHLY recommend using Ford's Oxford White, single stage. This stuff is tuff! Next time I'll get pictures of this, it was honestly insane, ha.
Anyway, hope the pictures are fun to look at! Enjoy the Pacific Northwest scenery!

-Woody's 20" LED bar (Bought at Napa, looks like a rebrand of another companies LED bar. Decent quality, 54 Watt, 18 LED, 4050 Lumen)
-Cheap Para-cord from local sporting goods store. 100ft of 50lb is what I keep handy.

PS- It seems every time I take this car out it amazes me that, for a barely modified car, it can handle some of the places I have taken it. This isn't 'actual offroad' to me, but it's offroad exploration and taking my car where few cars have ever gone. I don't expect it to crawl over large rocks and through deep mud, but when I get to a steep grade of loose, softball sized rocks and the car climbs for 100 plus feet without even flinching or pushes through trees and thick brush it puts a damn big smile on my face. That's what this battle wagon is to me. Fun!
It leaves home cleaned up and proper and comes back scratched, dented, antennas twisted, bumpers slightly loose, branches hanging on to the undercarriage, and tires spitting bits of gravel in protest of being back on solid pavement once again.. but it handled it.. It's small battle against the misconception that these are nothing more than commuter cars as it returns home with mud caked fender wells, nature scraps, and new scars. Trophies from a hard day's driving.

TLDR: I like my car for what it is and it's fun to shatter molds.
i have to say I think kershaw makes the best blades out there, and this one is relatively cheap

I can't speak to it's quality since I don't own one. But if it's anywhere near the quality of their knives, you might take a look at the Kershaw Camp Axe.
And at $30 you can't go wrong.
Here's my recommendation if you go the hatchet route. http://www.amazon.com/Kershaw-1018-Camp-Ax/dp/B000EYHF9G
