9 out of 10 of the products on his website is severely over-priced... Must admit I almost facepalmed before I shook my head when I saw that the RM wilderness axe was almost double the price of the axe it's based on... Not trying to undermine Ray or Woodlore in any way, but there are equally good alternatives to be found elsewhere for a lower price. =)
This saw is amazing. I like to carry a small hatchet for firewood purposes, no good for thicker wood but that's where the saw comes in handy. Folds up nicely in my pack, makes light work of gathering wood. It's very sharp. You can also buy replacement blades for it but they tend to be hard to find without going direct to the Bahco Laplander people. Worth it though.
@drago2187 Much of the gear he uses is worth the high prices. I've cheaped out in the past and had to replace stuff that just can't take serious use. It's all about whether you want to pay up front or later. Frankly, I've found using top tier gear pays off long term, as it simply doesn't wear out or need replacement (or break while you're soaking wet and 10 miles from a road, in the pitch black...heh).
@georgewhedge Actually the wood should be very dry. Also, try doing this with the cut facing sideways instead of upwards or downwards. I don't really care about this technique as I prefer to carry a both a folding saw and a lightweight hatchet :) Good luck!
you don't need to bother finding a laplander just buy kershaw folding saw it is much easier to find and it is same as laplander. kershaw folding saw is bacho laplander with kershaw name on it and it is made in sweden just like laplander. i own kershaw folding saw for a year. and i have no problem recommending it to other people as a first choice for first folding saw
