Weekenders Kit

[spiritman]

I wonder if there are any really good wire saws out there somewhere, if it worked really well it would be good to have but mine isn't even good for snare wire.

[FVR]

I'll try it tomm., taking my son out to scout for deer. Just may stop, make a flint and steel fire and make a couple cups of hot tee.

I'll use it to cut a log in half and report.

Review on the wire saw. It sucks! Okay, works good on pvc but wood, not. Will be taking off the plastic tube handles and making a snare out of it.

Did not make the tee, 88 degrees, just sucking down the water.

Did find a nice double funnel and a good stand placement for bow season. Cross a stream and you are there. Good sign and water, my kind of place.

[spiritman]

Well thanks for checking your out for us all. Has anybody had any good luck with a wire saw?

[trax]

Probably good if you're into sneaking up and garroting someone, but I'm not and for anything else, they suck. The one I had even sucked for snaring.
