Saws?

[Johnny]

Another thread gave me an idea for this topic. Do you use saws and particularly what saw can fit in a backpack? Here is mine and I love it! View | Trail Blazer Products | Page 24

This is a nice specimen. I haven't used it myself but I heard a lot about it. I think even nutnfancy uses one of these. Besides 15" I there is also 18" version.

I use a Coleman camping saw. It was about ten bucks, and it works great. It's a little time consuming to get through thick oak with it, but it powers through pine and other soft woods.

My brother carries a folding saw he picked up for about the same price from some place like Home Depot. The thing is a beast.

I strap the hatchet to one side of my pack and the bow saw to the back of it.

The hatchet is heaviest at 1.65lbs. Haven't weighed the bow saw but I believe it is less than 1lb.

I always have a hand saw. I have one of those hatchets that have the saw in the handle, the saw is a little small but works great. Then like mentioned above I also have one of those coleman hand saws for like ten bucks. That little thing is a beast when it comes to cutting. I use it all the time for cutting tree limbs around my house as well. It is probably the best hand saw I have ever owned. I first bought it for going christams tree cutting, but on a 9 foot white firs loaded down with snow it was a little hard to use so I wiped the blade with motor oil and that got it going pretty good.

I use the 21" Sven Saw. It's served me well over the years. I even use it for trail work so its durable.

Since I have several I just carry a Corona Pruning Saw. I like the Sawvivor but just can't convince myself to buy one when I have 4 Coronas laying in my garage.

Hatchets are too heavy and too NOISY. Someone whacking on wood is something I don't want to hear when I backpack.
