A single tear ran down cody's face while you cut down that tree.

@RichieR4488 You watch too many nutnfancy videos

OMG, I KNEW I KNOW HIM. Watching Dave on YT and haid no idea your the same guy from Discovery channel:) Great vids, and great program...

this seemed to be alittle nonsense to me...even it is a discount kit, you could afford a 10 dollar cost folding pruning saw. more ergonomic, safer, and will take much less space in the bag.

@BornRandy62 Sorry, didn't see your suggestion of using the handles as a blade guard. :^)

[ThirtyAcrePrep]

A small loop of cordage tied in the middle of the fulcrum could be used to secure the tightening stick so it doesn't wobble loose while sawing.

Also, if the blade were mounted in a slot cut into the end of the handles, they could be folded back and using a slot cut into the edge of the handles, it would act as a blade guard. If the handles were cut to the proper length, they would meet in the middle and cover the entire toothed edge of the blade as a guard when securing it in your pack.

I made one of these with salvaged straight grained oak from an ancient bed box spring. I grooved the center of the uprights and slotted the blade attachment ends. The saw folds backwards on itself protecting everything else from the sharp blade. I used another piece of the same material and drilled a hole into the end and the upright brace. The box spring had huge quantities of mild steel 1/4 inch rod. I glued a short section on each end to fit into the holes. works great

What a fantastic video, the simplicity of it is just mindboggling, with just the blade you could easily make one of these out innawoods by using wood dowels or whatever to secure the blade.

I really liked this idea! So much so that I made my own PVC version that collapses real small, and instructional vid (under Video Responses). Thanks for the inspriation, Dave!

[mogges1]

I would rather carry this bow saw before I would carry and axe. great video.my question is how strong will PVC be, I'm thinking the PVC would break.under the tension

[3kimmber]

think i just found a quick project for tonight. think I'll try the pvc, this should be a nice add-on to my pack basket for trapping. :)
