That saw looks like too much work.

Is it a reflection on me that every time I see this thread I see Unlock the Secrets of Swearcraft? I consider myself a Grand Master - and of course I can swear in Yank English and the King’s English, but I’ve dedicated my life to learning…

Good article. I was always an ax fan for camping and hunting trip wood gathering. But the older I get the more I appreciate the virtues of a good wood saw. They will keep you warm and fed faster and longer with a whole lot less stress on your body. And believe they are real or not, watch the people on Alone and other survival shows, cutting shelter poles to length with a saw is much faster and calorically efficient than an ax.

I still like axes and belt axes but I have a whole new appreciation for the saw. Am looking for a nice folding saw i have several smaller ones but want a longer model.

I've been a camper my entire life. When my sons were growing up, I spent 12 years as a Boy Scout leader. While axes and hatchets have their place, a good saw is worth its weight in gold around a camp. I'm quite fond of the Sven Saw. Its a good solid, general purpose saw and folds away to almost nothing for carry.
I also have several different types of camp saws around my house for care of my trees.
