fine tooth is better for ribs, just remember not to much pressure ,let the saw do the work

I just grind the rib meat now... BUT when I didn't I just used a proper bone saw.... it is a bit more laborious but there is no bone chips because its manual....
I am very OCD on Ribs and when I want them I buy them.... Deer and moose ribs to me make better burger than they do ribs

You are missing out!
Simply have to learn the proper way of cooking them, and you will never go back to that way of thinking!
Kind of like shanks in that so many really miss out by considering them "lesser cuts" when in fact they are among the finest when treated right.

As for cutting them, I use the fine toothed long blade when I can get the sawzall to them.
And a fine toothed metal blade in the hacksaw when I can't.

I can`t stand deer ribs, too much tallow. Like eating a candle.

I've got a long manual meat saw. I just bring the whole front end (rib cage plus back) of a bear or deer home and we saw strips of ribs off of it that way.

There's nothing like bear ribs smothered in onions, garlic and tomato sauce slow cooked in a clay pot in the oven.

Mrs. loves the fatty deer brisket for Moroccan-style couscous.

any fine toothed saw, and then wipe the bone dust off. I find cutting the meat from between the ribs too laborious, better as a finger food! Moosin

Last year's deer I deboned everything and had the time so cut all the rib meat out too and left the rib bones on the carcass. Anyways I made a stew recently out of the rib meat and it was just awesome, cooked it slow a long time so you could cut the meat with a spoon. Nothing fancy just spuds, celery, carrots, onions, fennel a can of tomatoes and spices but man, that's the way to eat rib meat, almost tasted like Pho which also uses cuts with connective tissue and muscles well cooked.

Eastwing hatchet or any other hatchet, much more versatile for backpacking.

I use it to chop the ribs off, much quicker than a saw, as long as the blade is SHARP!!!

Have not had ribs in years as I do the gutless method and cannot be bothered to pack the bones out. But when I do, trim, smoke, steam and BBQ or broil, not the best, but pretty good!!!

Cheers
