Mystery Lake Hatchet Spawns

Hello all,
I was wondering where i can find a hatchet in Mystery Lake. I have survived for 44 days, alas, i had to harvest my old hatchet for its fir firewood. Does anyone know here i can find a new one? I have checked: Camp Office, all of the Fishing Huts, Deadfall area, Max's Last stand, and Trapper's Homestead.

Did a run a while back and never found one. Thought my current run was going to be dry hole as well but finally found one at one of the lakeside cabins. Spawned at Alans cave, to dam, then log camp, over hill to cabin, unnamed pond, trappers, max's, camp office, daves, then, hot damn a hatchet

Inside or out? Which row?

Don't recall, think it was the middle group, outside in the snow. Was just so happy to find it. Was past tired of picking up sticks to build fires. Was lucky that the wolf outside of Alans had made a kill and was distracted so I could dash to the blind-found a knife-ran to the dam and took on Fluffy. Was already losing condition to cold.

I always find the majority of mine with the bodies.. but you can get lucky and find them in the tool chests and caches as well... unfortunatly (or not) its random gen so they could be in many different places.

Try Upper part of Dam or Forestry Lookout.

Also Logger's Camp stove or near the Lakeside Cabins boardwalk.

Good luck-As I said, I did one run and never found one. Think the one I found this time is the only one I found in ML. Of course, I have a good collection now. Have found 3 or 4 in CH and haven't explored all of it, Go figure.

There is a burned out cabin with a woodstove in it next to the three blue trailers near the clear cut area, I often find a hatchet in there.

Erm... you harvested your hatchet for fir firewood? That seems unwise. Why didn't you use the hatchet to harvest a fir limb outside instead?

, Found two at the logging trailers (the shed out beside the trailers)... one on a body by the lake cabins...and one in the lookout... knives are easier for me to find but axes aren't too bad once your getting a grip on locations.

Don't harvest the hatchet for wood. The hatchet harvests wood for you. :(

I think his hatchet ran out of condition or something of the sort

Have you checked the Derailment? It's a terrible place to go because wolves are just everywhere but I'm pretty sure there's a hatchet spawn next to a dead guy.

Also, check the Forestry Lookout or whatever. Loot always tends to be random, but there's definitely a pretty high chance of a hatchet spawn in there, as well as a can opener I believe, which you could scrap or save as it sounds like you've not looted CH yet.

And if all else fails, just take that trip across the ravine and into CH. The trailer next to the logs when you first enter has a hatchet spawn, and you can just nab that and head back to ML.

Good luck!

I would suggest hopping over to Coastal Highway if you really can't find one in ML. Check around the netting near the fishing huts in the fishing camp.

Until you find one, sticks! Sticks are your very best friends. Just be in the habit of picking up a few sticks you come across even if your current rreason for being outside isn't for sticks. Each stick is 7 minutes of fire life (unless this has changed and I didn't notice), so you only need 9 for an hour fire! :D
