It’s important to note that the Silky saw only cuts on the pull, not the push. I I own just about every size of Silky saws and love them all. Also, I am so glad you pointed out that the knife could be used by a right or left hander. Being a lefty that has always frustrated me. Just found your channel and I am enjoying every video. Thank you so much for the info.

Thanks for the comment. Yes the Silky is really and arborist saw and is great for cutting green wood on the pull stroke. 👍

Anyone interested in the Bob Dustrude Saw should also take a look at the new Sleepy Creek Saws. They are a reproduction that uses stronger box tube aluminum across the top.

Great advice here. I haven't spent anywhere near the time you have out in the woods but I learned quickly that a hatchet alone wasn't going to cut it (see what I did there? 😀😐😬). My next purchase will be the Silky but for now I carry my Gransfors SFA and an orange bow saw (around 22") and they've made processing firewood sooo much easier. Great video!

Right on Gus, I love the Silky, it does slow down a bit in dry conifer but that's pretty minor. One of the most recent contestants on Alone brought one and I think she was one who made it 80 days. Thanks!

I have a smaller version of that square fold out saw I have used for years. I almost never bring an axe or hatchet because of the safety factor. I might be days away from help and an axe accident would really spoil a trip.

@KevinOutdoors 3 жыл бұрын

It sure would, a really good reason not to bring one. There are some good videos on axe safety, if you haven't seen the Ray Mears axe safety video you should. If you chop wood the way he does it is really hard to hurt yourself. Now that I am older I have adopted his style in that matter. I may do a video on that sometime but his video is excellent and I don't think I can beat it.

Good stuff Kevin i have the same Axes that you have the only problem with the Gransfor Bruks is the Sheaths im my opinion you can't buy a better Axe but the Sheaths need to be Heavier im up to two replacements because the Axes cut the Sheaths love that Silky and thirty inch saw as always Kevin thanks Great Channel Earl

@KevinOutdoors 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks Earl! I appreciate the insight. I guess I am not alone in having my sheath get sliced by the axe.

Great set of tools! I have a SAK Farmer with the aluminum handle that I carry daily. My camp cutting tools are a Silky Gomboy, Husqvarna Carpenters axe, and my Habilis/Pathfinder Trade knife. I also bring a cheap fillet knife. Thanks for sharing your tools, setup, and knowledge!

Nice set of tools, I completely forgot to include my filet knife. I think I was just happy I found the tools I could.

The Agawa Canyon Boreal 21 folding saw is absolute perfection. It's like the Fred Durst advanced to the ultimate design. No separate parts...all folding. Beautiful. Made in Canada, ey? I like the Estwing 24A hatchet. all steel handle but overall very light, well-balanced and pretty. good steel easy to sharpen with a file and holds an edge. I don't find a need for a full axe. Here's an issue I can't seem to solve. You get some 5" to 9" logs bucked up. How do you split those down? The hatchet is not sufficient. An axe is not sufficient. Estwing makes the little Fireside maul but its really heavy. And they are too big for knife batonning. Lastly, whether you are a beginner or a seasoned pro...the Morakniv Companion is one amazing fixed Scandinavian-grind blade (2 mm thickness) woods knife for $16! Good steel really holds and edge and is easy to sharpen. RAZOR sharp right out of the box. If you don't think you can maintain carbon steel, they also make the knife in a good stainless steel. The knife is made in a thicker (3mm) "heavy duty" version as well for a few bucks more.

Yeah, I need to get myself one of those Boreal 21s! if for nothing more than to show off a good Canadian/Ontario product.

Poor Swiss Army knives aren't in fashion anymore, and it's too bad. They use excellent steel, and are great little folders. Unfortunately mine has gotten so tight, I almost need pliers to open it. I've lubed it, and even soaked it in my hornady ultrasonic bath, then relubed and it's still hard. I used that knife on many trips. Any ideas? Oh yeah, I found an antique tool axe for $4. Put a longer handle on it, changed the profile of the edge, and now it's a nice little axe for around camp.

@KevinOutdoors 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the comment Jim. No I don't have any ideas for your knife. I think if you put it in an ultrasonic bath you have gone over and above. All I might suggest is writing Victorinox.
