Pocket Chainsaw Survival Gear and Supplies - Orange Strap Hand Chain Saw

Good product, does the job.

This is my first pull-chain style saw, so I cant compare to anything... but this thing is small but mighty. It isn't the lightest saw I've carried, but it more than makes up for it in the diameter of what it can cut. I can't speak to durability yet, but I ran it through a dozen 4" - 8" dry limbs and it handled everyone under 30 seconds with consistent pulling. I have not tested on wet wood yet, so we shall see.NOTE: This is not meant to be a "replacement for a 36" bar chain saw. The largest diameter I believe this would be effective to is 10", maybe 12" but that would be pushing it.The fact that I can coil it up and stuff it in the front of a bino harness means that you get a ton of cutting ability for not a lot of weight. If you are counting ounces then maybe keep to an aluminum folding saw or what have you, but this is my new go to if you don't mind a few more oz. I am very excited to be able to clear downed trees that otherwise would turn my pickup/atv back or spend the time axing through. This will make collecting firewood a breeze as well.The one thing to look out for while using these pull-chain type saws is that if you are sawing from a safe position (opposite of which way the tree/limb will fall) then the chain will get pinched in the kerf quite easily. So, you somewhat have to be in the line of fire for a while to use the chain without it binding. To avoid this, I would recommend getting 1/2 way thru on the lean side and then switch to the safe position and finish out the limb. Anyone with experience and common sense would figure this out, but for those brand new to this style saw (like i was) I thought this might help. Happy trails!

Look good on first inspection. Nice handles. And nice case.

Few want to hassle with a large bow saw for cutting tree trunks in the back country. With the pocket chainsaw I can clear fallen trees from a back country bike trail, or I can make quick work of sawing small logs to length for a camp fire or for a bush craft table, etc. This compact saw easily fits into my bikepacking set-up so that it is with me when I need it. So easy to use and cuts quickly and efficiently. Much safer than swinging an ace, amd easier and lighter weight.

Sharp cuts quickly. I tied rope to handles and was able to cut oak limbs 30 foot up from the ground with ease
