LOL @ Sarge
And Bears doesn't come with a DVD!:mad:
$200 ??? That's about the dumbest thing I have seen since the Capt. Midnight decoder ring. If anyone I know whipped one of those things out he would be laughed out of the state. If that actually sells he can buy a lodge in the Alps, or maybe he will just use the darn thing to build one.
Why whats Bear's Knife and what does it cost:eek:. Is it like that one blog were that one guy had that titanium 1k knife!:D
A bit over $700 American!!! Want one?:rolleyes:Quote:

Am I really a terrible person for wanting to see what would happen if that crusty lava stuff he's standing on would give way? (Can you say computer generated? I knew you could).
you'd be a bad person if you didn't...
[disclaimer: in all seriousness, i wish no harm on any person, even if they are bear grylles]
Yeh, I'm going to pay 200 bucks for a weird kind of knife that is going to lose all those fancy blade markings. Oh, oh, better yet, pay 700 bucks for a knife that is promoted by some faker.
LOL!
I gotta watch I'll sell you; It's a gen-you-wine Rolex...or was that Rol-a dex?:rolleyes:Quote:

no no: bear grylles personaly chopped down a coast redwood with each one, and hand carved it into a ballista to hunt elk.
When the show first came out, wasn't he using a Gerber? I remember my wife saying that his folder looked just like mine.
He saw me stripping muscadines in the mountains with my knife and copied me. Not only is he a faker, he's a copy cat.
Yup, I havta agree with Survivalhike on the Sierra Saw as a real cool little woodsman's tool. Handy dandy, light, small and very efficient. Oh, and cheap (under $10) to boot.:cool:

This has been my go-to saw for years. Very light and durable!!!!
I just ordered a couple of Gerber sports saws. We'll see how they do.
I have the Browning version of that saw. Very nice, wickedly sharp!!! They both have the same style blades, a sorta offset barracuda tooth with very sharp points plus a bone blade. Nice for light duty work.Quote:

The Browning version I have is a folding lock-blade. Good for small limbs, 1-2 inches in diameter. Many of the hunters I know like it.Quote:

Actually I don't have a chain type saw, I use my hatchet/hawk for everything when in camp and take it everytime I go out. Yes I got a new hawk handle but my son seems to have taken it over, got a new hawk now.
I was tempted to throw a chain saw-blade wire saw into my pack but a friend talked me out of it for various reasons.
Just to clarify the various wire saw uses for people thinking about getting one:
* The fine-toothed default "survival wire saw" will cut hardwoods fairly easy but because of the tiny teeth it'll take you a long time. Don't even bother with resinous woods like pine.
* The larger toothed wire saws are multipurpose. simple
* The chain saw-toothed wire saws are the best for resinous woods but the multipurpose middle-toothed wire saw actually beats in on hardwoods.
One of the flaws with the chain saw blade style, as advertised is that if you wrap it around a standing tree and pull stroke the saw towards yourself, your hand are attached in the loops of some models. When you come close to the end, the tree can close on the hinge and jam the saw. Worse is that if it goes through, the tree can end up butt stroking you in the kisser as it kicks back and being tied to it, you got nowheres to go.
Most peoples would just do the one cut across, rather than also putting in a felling notch.
In my hunt pack I carry the Gerber folding saw with extra blades in the case. In the canoe I carry a 21" swede saw with extra bolts and blades in a tool roll along with an ax, small shovel, pik/matock and a decrating tool.
That's a really great safety observation Carcajou and it does happen. Several years ago a friend I and were removing a tree and he wrapped his safety around the tree about 30 feet up. Unfortunately, he forgot to back cut the top and when the tree went over the bark ran down the back side of the tree taking the safety with it. A real rookie mistake and he knew better but just forgot. It sucked him up tight against the tree until the bark broke. I was working on the ground and turned around just in time to see the action. I thought for sure it killed him but he turned out okay. Damned Lucky.
Never been too impressed with them. I usually can just break or baton wood instead.
I had thought about tossing one in the truck and using it if I needed to remove a downed limb or two to get past.
The ATAX was designed by Ron Hood, and made by Tops Knives from 1095 steel.
I bought and have used many times around the house or campsite, Ultimate Survival Technologies SaberCut Saw. It works great for taking down large or small tree limbs. It's the best one I've used, but, it's heavy to trek around the wilderness with. It's made well.

Well, now don't I feel stupid? That's one of my suppliers. Thanks for the link. That's what I'll go with.:(
Rick, I would rather use that than my gas powered one. No smell, No noise, No $ for gas, and it doesn't take much longer to do the job!!! I don't think any of the Co's that make these hand saws, expect you to be cutting down large trees.
tried them few times but the ones I had were the very cheap flimsy type and broke in short order, do most my stuff with hatchet and knife
Check out the link. This saw is far from flimsy, the web loop handles are bar tacked securely to custom designed steel clips that help prevent the chain from twisting while you cut. The saw blade has bi-directional, self-cleaning cutting teeth.Quote:

We have a nasty little phenomenon around here called a tornado and trying to make it through the streets after one can be pretty hairy. Once you make it home (if it's still there) you can grab the chain saw but you need something to get you there first if you were gone when it hit. It would also make a nice background saw to get down a fire trail.
I completely agree. Their Wetfire tab's has saved my butt twice!!!Quote:

I have a "Pocket Chainsaw" (I think that's the brand) seems to be stout enough, I've used it a few times. Can be sharpened with a chain saw file, or small diamond rod.
depending on conditions, i have a cheapy machete, a cross-cut bow saw, a small tooth keyhole type cross-cut saw with a 10 inch blade and an estwing hatchet.
i'd like to have a full sized axe again but don't have one atm.
The hand axe I carry most often is a small hammer-poll axe made by Joe de la Ronde. I've found this to be an excellent camping axe, useful for pounding in tent pegs as well as spitting firewood.Quote:
