    im a "construction worker student", i've got one of these my self, used it A LOT, i dont know the size of it but i LOVE it, it saws 2x4" wooden planks without any work at all!!!
    and it's "lightweight" for it's size aswell and very easy to move round and to hang it up, never used one in a camping scenario though!!
    Thanks for the review and greetings from Sweden!!

    Great vid Nutn!
    As a fellow TNPer and being a landscape maintenance contractor here in Chandler,these Bahco products are our number one choice for not only the 30" saw but their hand pruners as well. Though expensive well worth the cost.
    Keep all of your fantastic vids coming! Your biggest fans here in the desert southwest.

    Spent a few summers doing trail clearing for a local state park. Turned them on to these and saved us a lot of time and energy.

    Grabbed a few of these when this video popped up and I am so glad I did. This puppy rips through wood with ease. The weight is an issue for backpacking but I have managed to get it in there with a little forethought. Thanks for this review nutn!

    Great video. I'm with you on keepin' it simple. After hurricane Ike in Houston, I cut down a huge pine tree that had fallen on my neighbor's roof using a small crosscut saw. A neighbor had a chain saw but no gas.

    I use a bow saw from literally 60 years ago for years, With a little practice learning how to sharpen it. I cut faster then most of my friends chainsaw granted they don't know how to sharpen them but mine always starts and works great wouldn't get rid of it for nothing. I will be getting one of these because it would be nice to have a more compact one for hiking. Thanks for the good review.

    Awe, I love the sawvivor. Thats what got me into TNP. I got the 18" version. I actually wrote a college paper on how youtube gives small comapies a chance to compete with larger companies based on quality rather than advertising money based partly on your review. Thanks again Nutn

    I have a Silky Sugoi 360 that is absolutely amazing. I am in the process of thinning out 3 acres that we own and have chosen the Silky in place of a chainsaw. I have yet to regret that decision. It cuts through wood like butter.

    @sierraharvester 11 років тому

    I have been rocking the Bahco saw for a couple years now (based on TNP reference), and I love it. Blade guard is a bear to get back on, but this saw is good firepower for any weight up to a chain saw.

    @darangemaster1 11 років тому

    Hey Nutn thanks for the review on the Bahco bow saw. i purchased mine a short while ago for my kit and ordered it with both blades that way i can use it for either wet or dry cutting. i put the raker blade on it and used it to trim a couple of trees and it worked great. So much so the wife tried to poach it for her use around the yard. i had to go so far as to steal it back i guess ill be buying the wifie her own saw so she will leave mine alone.

    Cool practical video. Been using a 21" Fiskers Bow Saw that I got from either Home Depot or Loew's last year on our camping adventures. It cuts super fast, rust resistant and weighs a pound. I think the price is also under $20.

    Love those old bow saws..good ones have been around for a long time...but for me the ultimate truck saw is a Jonsered 2260, ran one this weekend along side my Husqvarna 555 (Current saw on the farm tractor). Its effectively a Husqvarna 555 with a 562xp top end and ignition wrapped up in the better looking J-red Black and red plastic..:) Good for everything short of felling..where my 2172 and 372xp still rule for most everything under 28in...where my big stuff handle the 28 to 36inch trees....

  • @phab2808
    @phab2808 11 років тому

    Nice I have seen those threw out the years always wondered how they where. Thank you. Also there is a saw that used to be made in denmark the blade still is but it has the same blade as his little saw the folder but it breaks down into its self like a ruler and then you take a bolt off the end and it turns into a triangle it's great does the same but a little more compact I got it at REI for $28 but worth it I keep it in the car or my pack on trips.

Too bad it doesn't breakdown like the Sawvivor that would be awesome. In all the backpacking adventures that you have been on have you ever seen BigFoot or something really unusual ? You know, Art Bell stuff. That would be a video that would be just too excellent!!! Anyhow, Long Live the Republic!!!!!

  • @highonimmi
    @highonimmi 11 років тому

    ty. i really want to go silky due to the slimmer profile and killer sawing action (as opposed to the kind of saw above). they have blades that kill hard wood and those for soft wood. i was thinking a bigboy with two separate blades. have you noticed in your experience whether you needed the different blades? you're rite about a silky...can't go wrong with either! thanks for ure prompt and learned response!

  • @LiveFreeOrRIP

    Nutn its so funny that you can keep making videos this good but simple. You just have this way to explain and pou items like nobody can. You think things in detail and save us Subers money on getting this or that.. Thank you!!

  • @CommonCentsOutdoorsman
    @CommonCentsOutdoorsman 11 років тому

    Try the Fiskars 13" pruning saw for a lighter weight/use option. Great ultralight cutting power but not as powerful and fast as the bow saw. It cuts on the pull only but is effortless, simple and highly effective. For the 7oz weight it gives a ton of capability per weight. Buttery smooth and easy to pack.

    @nutnfancy just saying , your second way of pronouncing the name is the right one AND bahco have had life time garantee on their tools , ive used it couple of times in my life and i LOVE the tools. swedes ROCK.

  • @northcacalacka545
    @northcacalacka545 11 років тому

    How about the silky saws nutn? They have some light folders that are pretty big. They look like they have different type blades for different applications. Maybe you all ready know about them. Thanks for the review, I like a Bahco also.

    I have a Bahco pruning saw 7 1/2" blade. 7 ounces. It is my primary camp saw. Excellent. It weighs less than a Sawvivor and if you ask me it is close in capability.

  • @SavageShooter93
    @SavageShooter93 11 років тому

    Ive yet to find a good folding saw, the laplander is one of the best but its still a pain to use for lots of firewood processing , where Ive found it excels is odd one handed off angle cutting like small branch trimming ect where you make one cut per branch. I really prefer the "hacksaw" form factor for camp/hike use, For me its just the most stable and efficient. Ive never really had an issue with the limited depth because of the back bar unless of course you cant move the log for some reason

  • @highonimmi

    To each their own. In my experience the small hatchet/ tomahawk comes up short. They are very effective at splitting dry wood but I can do A LOT more with my esee junglas.

  • @clamum
    @clamum 11 років тому

    What about Sven Saws nutn? I picked one up off Amazon months ago for about $30 or so (the 15" version). Blade is replaceable and it folds down quite nicely.

  • @ExpertScientist
    @ExpertScientist 11 років тому

    Absolutely, the blade is shorter and thicker i get that, but then it's also much sturdier and just eats up whatever you throw at it.

  • @JoeB191145
    @JoeB191145 11 років тому

    Always had that kind of saw, growing up in the country. With a wood blade and a finer blade. It was used mostly for butchering deer and calves. Skin and gut them, cut off head, quarter them out for meat processing at the table.

  • @leadpelletinass
    @leadpelletinass 11 років тому

    Basically a bow saw with a fancy paint job, molded plastic handle, plastic tightening screw and NOT made in the USA. There are a few videos where you personally disliked a item just because of all the plastic it had. I bought a bow saw that had a mechanical snap over center tightening whose lever also doubled up as a nice contoured handle. It is simple, durable and absolutely long lasting. I personally used it to cut trees down to build a cattle fence over 20 years ago. New blade, ready to work.

  • @beegum1
    @beegum1 11 років тому

    So, I have a large family going camping. I realized I needed a chef's knife. I bought an SOG Aura Camp knife, because the blade style was appropriate. But, it's so short. Maybe, I should have just gotten a sheath for my chef's knife. Mocking TNP, "Plus, I don't like to talk about this, but it would be fine for tactical use as well."

    I really enjoy your video's, and I'm creating a new 3 tool combo, I'm going with a Bacho Folding saw, the 9" closed, 17" opened saw, I'm including my Condor Wilderness Tool, that I had, and when I used it, it preformed well, I recently realized, that it almost weighs as much as my Becker BK-2, I use it as a knife, clearing hook, and the smaller axe head, makes stakes easy, and for the knife, because of one of your video's, I'm including my Bokor Black Rold fix blade, this set, will not be for my serious wilderness trips, but in familiar area's, for my serious trip's, I'll use my Swamp Rat's, especially my new favorite Rodent 6, which I had the top gaurd taken off, and now look's like a beefy Ratmandu on steriods, , my Rodent 9, and my Gransfors Bruks Small Forest Axe, as far as my saw, I chose the Silky Bigboy 2000, it's very portable, and it work's just as good as some of the larger saw's, like in this video, no offence Nut'n, I do respect your opinion on product's, but I try to go compact, not nessaserely lighter, the compact size is more important to me, the weight, using your formula, I agree with, Thanx for a great product information, on some tool's to consider.

  • @RadicalRC
    @RadicalRC 11 років тому

    Just got the saw with the dry wood blade, and the raker (green wood) blade from Greener-Grarden. $33.23 shipped to Ohio. Find the saw first, then hunt the "raker" blade. 23-24 is the part number. Don't remember exactly how I located it, but it's there. Most the other vendors only offer the saws or only the blades. Took some digging to find somebody that had them both and the price is good, shipping reasonable. Good luck.

    @buckarue100 11 років тому

    I've mentioned this to you before. I'll try again. Get a "Bob's Quick Saw" and you will retire all your other saws. It has a 24" cut, folds flat instantly and weights very little. I forgot where I got mine but 4 dog stove sells them.

    Long time viewer (since the inception of the project) with a question. Saws are great for processing wood for fires, but could you use the sawvivor or the a Bahco saw to build a shelter. Realistically, if you can, how would you create a "log cabin" type of shelter?
    Thanks!

  • @calverz
    @calverz 11 років тому

    The Laplander folder is a really nice ultra compact option. Bahco makes awesome gear. I have a full size bow saw that folds down and contains three blades - pops open in seconds and has stood up to hard use for years. Sadly, the label hasn't and I have zero idea who it's made by - which makes this comment less than fucking useful! Lol. Another great review Nutn.

  • @1776login
    @1776login 11 років тому

    I have not used this one so I can't compare, but I do keep Silky saws in my bob's. To date, I have not seen anything that can cut like a Silky. Based on this vid, my Silky versions would cut through the wood Nutn is sawing a lot faster and easier. The folding sheath models are great too. Sorry for the hijack but we are here to help each other.

    Any interest in ever reviewing the best folding saw of all time, the Silky Gomboy Large Tooth 240 or 270 (8 ounces)? I just commissioned a guy to make a custom ATACS FG sheath for my 240mm. They cut through wood like butter. I grew up my dad cutting down and portioning trees from our private property near Provo, and it was my job to axe them into quarters for our fireplace throughout the winters. I love this stuff.

    • @b3nsf

      +Jeremy Madsen which would you go with the GOMBOY 240 or 270 or BIG BOY? or KATANABOY?

    • @Player_Review
      @Player_Review 9 років тому +1

      +Benjamin Hawkins Depends on the task. I was inspired by some obscure, but great videos I watched that the Gomboy 240 large tooth would be most suitable for my tasks (medium portions of wood, green or dry, for batonning). The bigger, the better, but then you're lugging around more weight and real estate than you might need. 210 seems too small, 270 seems too big and the 240 is in the goldilocks zone. Definitely the Gomboy over the Super Accel that Silky makes though (more sturdy).
