After spending a week of lunch breaks at work making folding bucksaws (thank you Sparky!), I head off to my favourite pine forest with Maggie to show you my favourite kind of saw for camp. After firing up my Kelly Kettle (thank you Ginge!) and making a well needed cup of tea, I explain the features of these age old cutting tools and show you why I love them so much! Cutting firewood is one of those camp tasks that can become a real chore without the right tools, a highly efficient hand saw to cut large logs into manageable sizes and a good quality axe to split those logs into useable fuel make light and enjoyable of work of it.
I would also like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has subscribed to the channel and supported me over the past few years. I reached a huge milestone this last week, topping 50,000 subscribers and the channel just seems to be growing far beyond my wildest dreams! As a thank you, there is a little secret event at the end of the video. This is for those that watch, not simply for a chance of winning something, but because of a shared interest in what I do.
I’ll do the picking on Saturday 14th March 12 noon (GMT).
Good luck and thank you!!
