I thought wire saws were universally considered trash. Why w

It's small, concealable, and better than nothing.

staving alive until rescue is not the same as needing to chop a bunch of wood in the bush methinks.

>wire saws are trash

I don't see your point.

>>34563606
It beats chewing in small trees to cut them down. Don't know how much butter to it would be than a pilots survival knife

Folding saw would be better no? It wouldnt take up to much space.

It's trash compared to a chainsaw, but amazing compared to hands and teeth.

Made in China
Made out of inferior quality materials
Sold on BUDK.com to LARPers
Mall ninja trash

Official U.S. Air force issued tool
American, Japanese or European made
Better than nothing when lost innajungle
Extended use is not desirable

I would have mentioned it but the one in the picture is tiny. If it's in a USAF survival bag they probably expected a user to be in BFE or to avoid to everything.
