Velo Orange Piolet mounts
 
Just picked up a built for touring/singletrack/etc Velo Orange Piolet. Use it right now for bad weather riding, trail maintenance, etc. Was wondering if anyone has an idea on mounts for either the fork or the rear of the bike to carry and small axe and a machete in the already available threaded holes. I could probably build something, but then again I'm a slacker so if I can buy, I'm all over it.

Uh, why not install a rack and strap them to a rack or put them in a pannier?

Usually carry other junk in there. Looking at something on a fork mount. Quick access.

Generally in the fall/winter, our local group does the brush clearing etc after bad weather. I always carry folding saw and small axe in my camelback during this time of year when off roading. Trying to mount something on the fork of the new bike.
