Pack saw

[EastMont]

Long time creeper of this forum, first time poster.

I have been carrying a foldable cheap saw for a couple years for clearing small trees, but its a chore to cut anything substantial. What do you all carry for a trail saw. I have a couple burros so packing a cross cut really isn't practicle. (See burros below)

I bought a Husky foldable from Home Depot.It cuts through anything.
I call it "Satan" the saw.Has a double row of teeth that cut quickly and
cleanly.Works great on mesquite here in Az.Rubberized handle and hand strap.
Use it instead of my chainsaw in limbs up to 3".

Im looking for a light weight saw for my stove/tipi set up. Heard some good things about Silky, looking on amazon there a a few options at or under 1lb and they say cuts through 6" limbs like butter. Anyone else confirm the Silky?

I have a couple. I use the coarse toothed one. It's awesome. Awesome awesome. I can cut through 2" stuff in one pull 50% of the time. 3" stuff is two pulls. Easily worth the $$.

This is my preferred solution to this question.

Is the crosscut option not practical for you because you are often solo or because most are 72 inches and too large for your burrow? I picked up this one last fall, its 36 inches and fits nicely over the top of our llama saddles.

I use a few different length Silky folding saws, they are awesome.

Love that Dandy saw! Googling one of those immediately!

I’ll second the silky saws..... fast, simple and make the average folding saw look like a gimmick

Yeah I'm glad I found that. It went on two hunts last year and I'm kinda bummed I didn't get a chance to use it. Those dang llamas are too good at going around and over things.

I'll be putting one on my saddle. Probably end up making a leather scabbard for it. Be nice for cleaning up a fallen tree or two.

Thank you everyone, this has been awesome, I might pick up a Fanno, but I like that smaller cross cut.

I like the Fanno saw and scabbard but I use this little saw I picked up at a Stihl dealer more than the Fanno....good saw for smaller trees and beaches

 

[EastMont]

That stihl actually looks pretty niffty. Thanks everyone for the input!

bigbaddad knows which saw to use.

those fanno saws are always on a trip into the mountains when whether we are packing in or doing day trips. that is riding in a saddle though. it's small enough to be out of the way for the most part..... although it isn't near as sexy looking as that Dandy saw.

I am A fan of the Wyoming and wyoming2 saws

I have a couple Silky saws. A small Super Accel 210 for the pack, and a bigger Katanaboy 500.

Check out the 500, it's no joke. I keep it in the truck now instead of a chainsaw for back country travel, where a tree might fall across the road.

I have had great luck with the fanno saw. I have cut trees up to 20". It is work but they cut very well if you are in a wilderness area.
