It’s important to note that the Silky saw only cuts on the pull, not the push. I I own just about every size of Silky saws and love them all. Also, I am so glad you pointed out that the knife could be used by a right or left hander. Being a lefty that has always frustrated me. Just found your channel and I am enjoying every video. Thank you so much for the info.
Thanks for the comment. Yes the Silky is really and arborist saw and is great for cutting green wood on the pull stroke. 👍
Im learning now thanks Kevin!
Happy to help!
I've been using a Sven Saw for 40 years or so. Works great and portable.
Thanks Barney, I have heard they are good. Too bad I can't own every saw :)
Yah I prefer saw as I older for solo trip , thanks
You and me both!
Cool stuff Kevin, I would never go on a trip without my swiss army knife, they are so useful. Thanks Kevin, take care 👍🙂
Thanks Mike!
Anyone interested in the Bob Dustrude Saw should also take a look at the new Sleepy Creek Saws. They are a reproduction that uses stronger box tube aluminum across the top.
Thanks for the tip J Renne! I will check them out.
I messed up its Spring Creek not Sleepy Creek. Oops
great video, lots of cool saws and axes here, and good info
also i laughed every time you said 'big wood' lol
Thanks 👍
Great advice here. I haven't spent anywhere near the time you have out in the woods but I learned quickly that a hatchet alone wasn't going to cut it (see what I did there? 😀😐😬). My next purchase will be the Silky but for now I carry my Gransfors SFA and an orange bow saw (around 22") and they've made processing firewood sooo much easier. Great video!
Right on Gus, I love the Silky, it does slow down a bit in dry conifer but that's pretty minor. One of the most recent contestants on Alone brought one and I think she was one who made it 80 days. Thanks!
You're my number one source for canoe and backpacking tips, Kevin. Thank you as usual.
Wow, thanks! I try and do my best :)
Nice selection buddy👍🌲
Thanks 👍 Much appreciated!
Excellent video.
Thank you very much!
Nice collection 👍🏻
Thanks!
Great show-n-tell. (I'm gonna spring for a small forest axe.)
They are very nice!
I have a smaller version of that square fold out saw I have used for years. I almost never bring an axe or hatchet because of the safety factor. I might be days away from help and an axe accident would really spoil a trip.
It sure would, a really good reason not to bring one. There are some good videos on axe safety, if you haven't seen the Ray Mears axe safety video you should. If you chop wood the way he does it is really hard to hurt yourself. Now that I am older I have adopted his style in that matter. I may do a video on that sometime but his video is excellent and I don't think I can beat it.
Another great video! Love the educational content that you share with us. Thanks Kevin!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Great set of tools! I have a SAK Farmer with the aluminum handle that I carry daily. My camp cutting tools are a Silky Gomboy, Husqvarna Carpenters axe, and my Habilis/Pathfinder Trade knife. I also bring a cheap fillet knife. Thanks for sharing your tools, setup, and knowledge!
Nice set of tools, I completely forgot to include my filet knife. I think I was just happy I found the tools I could.
love it all man thanks from Oakville, Ontario!!!!!!!
Thanks for watching!
Good stuff Kevin i have the same Axes that you have the only problem with the Gransfor Bruks is the Sheaths im my opinion you can't buy a better Axe but the Sheaths need to be Heavier im up to two replacements because the Axes cut the Sheaths love that Silky and thirty inch saw as always Kevin thanks Great Channel Earl
Thanks Earl! I appreciate the insight. I guess I am not alone in having my sheath get sliced by the axe.
So good I watched it twice! Stay safe sir.
Twice? Awesome!
Man that’s weird?!? I was looking at the BigBoy saw today! 🤗 You’ve made my mind up! 👍 Love the Channel
Thanks Garry, glad thing fell into place. Enjoy your new saw. I love mine.
Helko Werk axe! It's German steel! They come in a variety of sizes.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Soon Im going back to the woods ! again lol !
Excelllent video Kevin, please don’t make us wait another 2 years for part 3 haha.
Thanks Jay, yes this one took awhile. I think Camp Kitchen will be next in the series.
The Agawa Canyon Boreal 21 folding saw is absolute perfection. It's like the Fred Durst advanced to the ultimate design. No separate parts...all folding. Beautiful. Made in Canada, ey?
I like the Estwing 24A hatchet. all steel handle but overall very light, well-balanced and pretty. good steel easy to sharpen with a file and holds an edge. I don't find a need for a full axe.
Here's an issue I can't seem to solve. You get some 5" to 9" logs bucked up. How do you split those down? The hatchet is not sufficient. An axe is not sufficient. Estwing makes the little Fireside maul but its really heavy. And they are too big for knife batonning.
Lastly, whether you are a beginner or a seasoned pro...the Morakniv Companion is one amazing fixed Scandinavian-grind blade (2 mm thickness) woods knife for $16! Good steel really holds and edge and is easy to sharpen. RAZOR sharp right out of the box. If you don't think you can maintain carbon steel, they also make the knife in a good stainless steel. The knife is made in a thicker (3mm) "heavy duty" version as well for a few bucks more.
Yeah, I need to get myself one of those Boreal 21s! if for nothing more than to show off a good Canadian/Ontario product.
Poor Swiss Army knives aren't in fashion anymore, and it's too bad. They use excellent steel, and are great little folders.
Unfortunately mine has gotten so tight, I almost need pliers to open it. I've lubed it, and even soaked it in my hornady ultrasonic bath, then relubed and it's still hard. I used that knife on many trips. Any ideas?
Oh yeah, I found an antique tool axe for $4. Put a longer handle on it, changed the profile of the edge, and now it's a nice little axe for around camp.
Thanks for the comment Jim. No I don't have any ideas for your knife. I think if you put it in an ultrasonic bath you have gone over and above. All I might suggest is writing Victorinox.
i could not find part 3, 4 ect
They are on the way. I'm a little slow with this series.
Great Video... Bad Hat... just saying... Go Leaf's Go🙄
Thanks Dennis, there is always next year isn't there? 😀
