Or you could go for a better choice and get a Boreal 21.. Takes a standard bowsaw blade and folds down into itself.

It's my winter saw. I use a Bahco laplander in the Summer when I need a saw.

According to this video, a bow saw seems the best for cutting logs.

Why can't use the Laplander in the winter?

>>1067171
Hand chain saw needs efforts and it's difficult to hold wood steady because you always have to use both arms.

>>1067190
seems valid.

Just bring the saw blade.

You need a saw to cut bamboos first.

>>1067200
That's not bamboo. Just wrap your sock around the blade as a makeshift handle or use your knife. You have a knife right?

>And why are the Swedish good at making blades?

We have a tendency to go out in the woods without tents, hence why we need good hand saws to massacre pine trees with.

A bivouac shouldn't take more than one hour to build and may involve 5 to 30 trees needed to build one, cutting off the branches needs to be a fast and efficient process, hence the good blade requirement.

While on the move, this process is repeated very day.

>tfw you are a pine tree genocider

>>1067216
Get a tent, dumb ass.

>>1067216
So when people build these they just dont care about the 10 pounds of bugs that will be dropping in their face/crawling in their clothes everyday?

Doesn't matter. All standard folding saws are the same.

Hardware store vs Bahco vs LIDL all perform the same. Even the €1 store one I have is good when you file the burr from the edges.

Don't bother with brand unless you're spending the money on a Silky or something professional with specialist teeth.

The old emergency bowsaw blade on your belt is always nice to have.
No reason why you shouldn't have a takedown bowsaw as part of your kit though.

Even the saw on the Swiss Army Knives is extremely useful.

It's too small. You need a lot of wood in the winter.

>>1067237
A good post, but please don't buy the cheapest unless you don't have extra money to spend. I don't know about cheap saws, but cheap things generally fall apart. That being said LIDL folding garden saw works just fine.

Chainsaws have too wide of a kerf (blade thickness), and they only cut in one direction unless you take the time to reverse every other cutting tooth. Bowsaw blade ftw, big gnarly tree-eating teeth plus a narrow kerf equals faster and easier felling and limbing.

there are hand crank drills, where are the hand cranked chain saws?!

We sleep with raincoats on.

Now in all seriousness, we do have tents here and we use them whenever possible. Typically with an extra rain roof and thick floor protection against the wet and cold ground, because the weather here is literally shit 340 days per year.

But sometimes, you just have to admit that a hand saw is lighter and more reliable than a tent that may break (or you have to abandon it).

Those are for medical use only it seems. Like childbirth and cutting skulls (no joke).

>>1067276
most packet saws also only cut in one direction so long that is the pull direction i'm okay with it. pushing the sawblade is just asking for it to get stuck and bend. the wideness of the chain won't stop it from biting well into the wood.

>>1067282

Not OP. I watched my friend use his S.B.K. He was able to cut through a foot thick oak tree in less than 3 mins. Pretty fucking neato. I'd take one if I was quad or dirt bike camping, for regular hike and camp, I'll just stick to either a Bahco, or the normal size silky boy.

Nigga, the point is you can claim what you want but we ALL know you ain't making a green wood bow saw from fresh every time you need to saw a piece of fuckin wood.

In fact, I'd go so far as to say you've never even made one ever and probably don't even own a saw, and you're trying to project some try hard elite tier (I MAKE my saw from the woods not buy it from a shop like you fags kinda thing) bush-lord from your mamas basement.

Only way to prove me wrong is provide some OC to back up your meme-charged claims.

I'm man enough to admit I've never made my own bow saw. But that's because I value the convenience and tolerances of my Boreal 21.

Real saws only cut on the pull, pushing a saw blade to cut is dumb.

Western saws cut on the push.

Push saws can have bigger, meaner teeth and be used more aggressively.

You have to be a complete moron to not know how to pack something extremely thin and two feet long. you can literally put it just about anywhere.

This is correct, but in order to finish it, in that amount of time, you are required to be completely full of shit.

It's not as compact as some of the others in this thread, but stored on the outside of a pack proves to make this not an issue.

It has a fine-toothed side that does more intricate cuts, even finish carpentry. It's blade is flexible, so it can do some radius cuts (like around another branch in the crotch of multiple branches)

Not a good choice at all in my opinion. Too fragile to use/carry and probably cuts like shit on green wood.

I have a jamb saw for cutting door jambs to fit tile underneath, I have a folding camp saw for foldy-camp-sawing things. I don't see that pull-saw working well for anything.

hand saw is for the weak, low test beta campee who prefers to flexor his wrists as if he were masturbating. compare and contrast with the SUPERIOR HATCHET STRIKER and his aestheticly pleasing motions will prove beyond a shadow of any doubt that the autism saw must go

"Buck" as in the knives is a reference to a Male animal. "Buck" as a woodworking term means to section logs perpendicular to the grain.

"Jackass" in reference to you, is a term used to describe internet mouthpieces that should STFU and let the adults talk.

>"Buck" as in the knives is a reference to a Male animal. "
You sure it's not a reference to the monetary amount the knife sold for when it was introduced?

"Buck Knife" because it's literally a knife that costs a buck*

*Buck is commonly refers to a US Dollar.

As a fellow tile setter, there are much easier ways to cut those jambs.

>pic related
is a game changer. I've had the circular saw type and the reciprocating jamb saw, but this little vibrating number is just too easy.

>>1070658
It's a great saw for dry wood and perfect for home/shop use.
Has a very fine kerf and leaves a finish that doesn't need sanding.
If I were to have just one saw, that would be it.

I also have a smaller 6" version.
The blade is even thinner and more flexible.
But because it cuts so effortlessly, you can even saw dovetails with it.


The only thing time I reach for push saws anymore is when I need to rip something.
