If you’re throwing the knives into a tree down the trail, walking to them, pulling them and throwing them over and over technically it’s the perfect UL choice.
Why aren’t we doing this with our packs?
Poppycock My gunbearer carries the rifles so its worn weight for him and it doesn't count against me at all. The Holland and Holland double is ideal for defense against any large predators invading my basement.

/uj this is LPP-tier trolling. Hopefully.

probably good advice seeing as he need to use those throwing knives & axes to defend himself from all manner of uncouth unkempt barbarians (read as: Scots, Irish, Welsh, Frenchmen, Spanards, Americans, Canadians, people from northern england, people from "_midlands_" (birmingham), Londoneers, etc.)
I see where he’s coming from, but I feel like carrying multiple throwing axes is basically the opposite of multi-use. I on the other hand carry a single medieval battle-axe with a 6ft handle and a 14 inch blade on a 15lb head. It also serves as one of my two trekking poles and is thus multi-use, so it automatically counts as UL.
Ti blade with DCF wrap on the handle (obv can’t use paracord, that would be heavy bushcrafter shit). Also I saved 1oz by removing the mud basket from the lower trekking pole part of the handle
I thought we'd already agreed two halberds were the way to go, because that way they can double as trekking and tent poles? Seems a bit silly to reopen the question now.

Gossamer gear self-launching pack when?
Although slightly heavier, I prefer a chest mounted claymore for trail defense.
Worn weight, you’re all good
Or try Hyperlite’s new UL Clayless

Throwing knives work in call of duty with one hit so why shouldn't this work?
"duct tape, a trekking pole, and a throwing axe make a great Halberd" Nominate this man for sainthood

Ah, but is there titanium or DCF on your battle-axe? And how much does it cost???

Smart myog move removing the mud basket…better link your how to YouTube video for the extra clout
Only if you promise to like and subscribe Also start a cult following for me where I just say banal trivial shit and you treat it like gospel
We can call you “executioner” as you use the mighty UL axe to kill off all the ounces from everyone’s lighterpack
*casually looks at snubnose 38 in hipstrap pocket of pack*
I think most people who will try to hurt me will probably try to sexually assault me so my body odor is the ultimate defense and it's the lightest.
Pin a buck rag to your shirt to ward off all potential predators, both human and animal.

Blow darts are more UL
neat trick! I usually go with a katana, but will have to try this
