  • Processing firewood is a common task in most camp scenarios. Tinder, kindling and fuel are essential for creating a successful campfire. Dave Canterbury discusses how to process wood for a campfire using a saw and a knife as opposed to an axe. An Axe can be cumbersome to carry over distance and poses a higher risk for injury. A saw is a safer alternative and is generally less weight to carry. A successful campfire really hinges on how well you prepare your tinder, kindling and fuel and the conditions that you are presented.

    Good tips Dave.
    I've camped for 45+ years & rarely carried an ax or saw. Wrist size piece of dead wood & a rock on the ground as an anvil. Break it or burn it smaller.
    Cheers 👍

    You can also take advantage of the natural crack by cutting with the saw on one side then rolling over and making another cut at the length you want then smashing the end on the stump or whatever. Continue by making cuts with the saw and leaving enough of the flat to split/ break off another chunk. Much less work

    The most important tool that he used in every technique is the tree stump he's working on. I'm certain he knows that, just pointing out that the base is needed.
    *Lesson learned:* When you know you will process great amounts of wood, find a camping site that gives you access to wood (obviously) and a tree stump or fallen tree you can use as a base. Having a solid base makes wood processing much safer!

    Han pasado más 50 años desde mis aveturas acampando y explorando en una forma muy sencilla y con herramientas básicas los bosques de mi lejana tierra.
    Nunca en aquella época ibamos a tratar un cuchillo para hacer tareas que deberían ser echas con las herramientas propicias. El cuchillo era una herramienta para las tareas delicadas donde nunca se arriesgaría sus qualidades.
    Para cortar leña y maleza se utilizaban machetes y si peso era un probema hachitas livianas y muy filosas.
    Que ha pasado ahora? es el internet que ha fomentado utilizar un cuchillo para hacer el trabajo del machete? Es el internet que ha creado un mercado donde ha obligado a los fabricantes de cuchillos de tener modelos de 10 cm de hoja o menos con un gruesor de 5 mm o más?
    El uso de los pequeños cuchillos ahora es como si uno fuera a forjar hierro con un cuchillo de matricero.

      Same here, there isn't much around my area that can't be cut down with a good machete. I'll take a saw and an axe out if I'm building something with logs that are bigger than 15cm in diameter, but there's no real reason to carry the axe for everyday use.
