Take a look at the "Bob Dustrude" folding saw. Lightweight, stows small and designed so you can use the full length of the blade stroke w/o limit, unlike many folding saws. Comes in different lengths. Blade is replaceable. Love mine.

HA!
Well now... I guess I COULD attempt to clarify but then others would have to trust that my clarification wasn't obfuscation and simultaneously shrouded in metaphor. ;-)
Suffice to say, all I cared about was the dog and I don't mind having my ears boxed by the OP for taking that position.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
My honest mistake was believing that the OP's original post was written with direct clarity about actually BOXING his dog's ears but instead he was speaking with obscure metaphor about correcting his dog in some other unmentioned manner. And if you read my...
Thankfully your name isn't Beethoven, getting his ears boxed didn't go well for him.
Not sure where you grew up, but I've never heard anyone refer to a reprimand of any kind as "boxing" one's ears. Perhaps a lesson in speaking via metaphorical reference vs directly.
Glad this was simply...
Look, I agree some dogs need real force to get them to understand who leads the pack.
But I remain firm. Boxing a dogs ears is NOT the way to do it. Potentially bursting your dog's eardrums is just a completely ill-informed, ignorant, foolish and risky way to make a short term point.

I mostly agree with you, I never said that a dog shouldn't be disciplined.
Dogs need to know who is boss and for some dogs that takes a real level of discipline and that may include a butt kicking.
But BOXING a dogs or a person's ears is NOT discipline and it is not a whoopin', it is cruel and...
Say what you will.
I have NEVER heard of, nor seen any legitimate owner nor skilled trainer "Box" a dogs ears in the name of "discipline" when you know full well that this could burst them.
If you need to call me "Misguided", or a "Snowflake"-- for bluntly questioning your training then do so...
So, you boxed your dog's ears? Seriously?
Genius, rookie move that could permanently damage his hearing.
Sell the dog or get yourself to a trainer.
That was not discipline, it was ignorantly cruel and you should be ashamed.
The dog is/was ruling the house, not you.
Maybe things have changed, but...
I have an X-Mid 2 man and also a 1 man. Fantastic tents. And for comparison sake, I also have a Lunar Duo Outfitter and an REI Half Dome, also a Cuben Fiber tarp + ultra light hammock.
X-Mids are fantastic. Light weight and spacious enough. In fact, 2 men can sleep under the rain fly of the...
Bring an air gauge and a small 12v compressor so you can air down on the back roads and air up for pavement.
Airing down will make the tires more readily conform to rocks rather than puncturing. It will also give you more traction and a greater contact patch. Air down to 20psi or 25psi...
