Just a thought about your bow saw

[Van-Wild]

I was felling a small dead standing tree for a small fire lay later tonight. I thought I'd share my little tip on how I carry the rounds I've made the short distance back to my van/campsite. I slot them in my Bahco bow saw. It does flex the blade but it's not a problem for me as the blade always goes back the right way. Don't over load your saw and don't use this technique if you're a long way from camp. But anyways, if you've never seen it, you may like my tip, you may not. But here it is....

Autsch!

Why don't you use a rope?

 

[Janne]

Ok trick if close to home. Not a good one wintertime in the mountains.

Use a rope.

Or webbing strap

Good experiment if you have to. Hope the blade holds up.
Skidding the whole log with a rope or strap for long distance.

I usually carry wood in the hand or on the shoulder to the tent and after sectioning it the last few meters just in the arm.

you guys! Always with the 'why don't you do this... or do that.... ' like I said, you may like it, you may not. But it works for me.

But we hate it!

Unfortunately we can't force you to do it different, so we can just sit in the sun at the smartphone and hate you, because you torture that poor little saw, who didn't do any thing wrong.

You are a cruel man!!!

;0)

Carrying logs will make it out of tune!

If you need to carry the wood to camp, why not cut it once you get there rather than damaging (or at very least risking damage) your saw. A single log is much easier to carry or drag than a pile the same weight! Sorry, i think it's a silly thing to do.

 

[Van-Wild]

Ahhhh...... the Internet. Of course, maybe a lot of people do not like this idea. That's fine by me! in all the years I have been doing this, I have never had a blade damaged or broken. It is a quick and convenient method for me. Dragging a log is of course a very good option. But I don't do that. I don't think my idea is silly, like I said, it works for me!

Edited as it looks like the OP didn't want alternative suggestions

He just wanted to voice his opininon...

You can always carry the branch back to camp on your shoulder (maybe put a bit of padding on your shoulder first), then cut it up when your back at your camp spot.
Just remember to tell people to 'DUCK!! when you turn!

 

[Erbswurst]

It is silly, cruel and risky for the blade!

It is far better to do it the old way, and carry the branch in one piece to the camp.

Ok, it's risky for your fellows, but that doesn't matter. They will learn it, or you will find new once.

Interesting. I admit that I would be too chicken to try this for fear of the blade starting to cup in the cut afterwards.

Are there any rules about English grammar and orthography ?

 

[Erbswurst]

Incredible.

It's still eastern.

I wouldn't become so angry, if that would have been my saw!

It works of course. But in the long run it isn't good for the blade, that's all.
