I’ve used a Wyoming Saw 2 for over 30 years, compact and comes with a wood blade and bone blade, the wood blade has cleared many trees across roads for me over the years.
gotta agree with these gentleman.....i'm probably 20 years in on mineQuote:
Wyoming saw, compact and easy to use. Had mine for 40 years. Both sons also use them.
Just got a silky this year. Amazing tool. Lee Valley has a knock off that I would have gotten had I seen it before I bought the silky. Price is right.
I'm also a silky fan.
+1 on Silky, if it matters by now.. :-)
Which silky is best for bone and wood? Is there a light weight model for backpacking?
I recently bought one of these Coghlans folding saws at princess auto for about $14 on sale. Used it for a bon fire a few days ago and was amazed at how well it worked sawing through several logs, 5-10 inches in diameter. The teeth chewed through both hard and softwood fallen trees that I dug out of the snow. I just rotated the thicker trees to saw through. Quick work.
Small, lightweight and works well. Best bang for your buck!
i still remember grand pa teaching my younger brother and i to use the bow saw as a team....We were no more than 6 and 7 years old....
I can still hear his voice saying "just pull..don't push"....and " pull sooner or your fingers will get squished" .. i can still picture my 4 year old other brother sitting on the log that was perched on the saw horses we used for cutting up the logs...
used a lot of bow saws over the years....there is something nice about the sound of a bow saw as it cuts through the log...quieter than the ole chainsaw too heheheh
A saw which has a frame is very good but the size of the frame limits the diameter of wood you can saw. A folding blade saw with a 12 inch blade is, in my opinion, a better choice.
