Yup. or you know, bring a light hatchet like the Fiskars X7. Or find a wedge-like rock, or a piece of wood. Or just don't bother and break deadfall with your heel and use the pieces for fuel.

Depends on how buscrafty-memey you want to go.

>break deadfall with your heel.
YES.
Pic related is the way I like to break bigger portions of wood.

It's not too hard to spot a dead sapling, and then all you need to do is kick/pull that shit over.

primitive technology doesn't bother stomping the wood, he just drops a bigass rock on the unsupported part of the wood

Yes mate, even easier and safer than stomping, good

Even cavemen had an axe.

I dislike using dead wood, it's not good forestry management. If you want that forest to last you want that dead wood to stay where it's at, get colonized by lichens, and decay to fertilize the soil so more trees can grow later.

I bet prying causes more broken blades than batoning. Only bushcraft autists and the occasional hipster out carcamping who saw it on youtube once baton
Pretty much everyone with a knife has been in a situation where you have to decide between going and finding the right tool or risk breaking the tip off the knife in your pocket.

You're thinking Paleolithic.
Neolithics had more specialized tools for splitting wood.

who the fuck uses a knife for prying? are there actually poorfags who can't afford a titanium crowbar?

Yet, they're all dead. So...
