Are Axes with Wood Handles Easy to Repair in the Field when Camping or Bushcrafting? 

After rehandling ~100 axes I have realised just how difficult the process can be at home with all available tools. Steel Drifts, 3lb hammer and drills and the eye wood can hang on in there stubbornly well past my patience. I think the reality of how difficult the process can be is glossed over and the hazards of trying to hehandle an axe in the field without tools, clamps or a vise could lead to a nasty cut. For that reason I think the traditional slip fit or tonahawk style of handle makes far more sense and the popularity historically in remote places further backs this up.
not saying its impossible only that its far more difficult with a pocket knife or multitool only and would take a long time
