At the risk of sounding like I'm saying "git gud", I will share some information. Be aware that my intent is to help, rather than criticize or antagonize.

If you eat Fish n Bread, Mushroom Omelette, and Salad, you can have 305 stamina.

If one is "rested", then stamina regen is doubled. With a roof and a fire, one acquires "resting", which quadruples stamina regen. These effects stack, bringing stamina regen to 5x with nothing more than a campfire and a roof.
Add in the "Tasty" mead for another 100% regen rate (at the cost of half your health regen), bringing you to a total of 6x stamina regen for 10 seconds at a time... with no cooldown.
Stop swinging the axe for just a moment, and your stamina will almost instantly fill.

Admittedly, a lot of this information is usually more relevant to mining than tree-chopping... but adding in the Elder power for a 60% damage buff vs trees, and you can do some serious forest-mowing in a really short period of time.

Infodump complete, please carry on.
