What is the Best, Lightest, most Compact Tree Saw

sledhead ut · Nov 19, 2008

I've never carried one myself, but got into a couple sticky situations last year. The guys I was with had a couple Tree Saws with them and I was amazed how well and fast they worked.
So what's the best one to carry?

I picked up a "Coglins" (?) saw from the army-navy surplus store this summer. Looks to be pretty solid, sharp as all hell, and it folds up nicely. We'll see how well it works.

One thing I don't like about it now is the fact that it doesn't lock closed.

If you have a Ace Hardware store around they make a nice little folding one that works great...we ride the trees a lot and I bet I used mine a half a dozen times last year.

Snowbungie here. Carried one for quite awhile. Use it all the time, damn trees. You would be surprised how big a tree you can cut down with one of these.

Some of the HMK shovels have them built right in. Excellent shovel and a functional saw for the rare times when you have to go logging.

I was surprised last year. I thought they were crazy and next thing I new we had fire wood instead of a road block.

Rob, my wife has the (PINK) shovel you speak of and I think it will be a good saw. My shovel has an Ice Saw in it. So I'll just pack a wood saw separate.

I have a saw that coils up like MMsports above. It's a chainsaw type chain with loops on the ends. I think it says Winchester on it.

Those things are SHARP they cut VERY well.

It's not very light, but it's fast.....sorry just being a smart arse. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60Tamp2fHhg

I got one of these that i velcro to my clutch cover and i carry one of those small folding saws like the sno bunjie. My thought is if you were to have to spend the night out those folding saws would not be able to cut large branches and you would end up cutting wood all night.

I use to have something very similar and LOVED IT! Lost it though and have been looking for a replacement for a few years now..............

Thank you!

We carry a saw like this one: http://www.campmor.com/outdoor/gear/Product___47440

It is VERY lightweight, works incredibly well, and it is a bonus to be able to carry a spare blade - definitely gotten some use out of it...

i got a pretty nice one at the local building supply center/ hardware store, the thing is SUPER sharp, strong as can be, and lasts when used a lot, i must have cut a couple cords down last winter playing in the tigh trees.

cant imagine riding without one.... i think i might try something like that chainsaw one, grab an old blade from around the house, sharpen it and make some handles, would be good for the bigger trees and the ones under load so you dont snap a blade.
