The buck saw is an amazing tool for all things outdoors. I especially love to have a buck saw handy for winter camping as they can easily process large amounts of firewood quickly. They are nice to have because it requires far less energy to process wood with a buck saw than it does to wield an ax. Having a saw blade with you is also advantageous in that they weigh only ounces as opposed to an ax weighing pounds. In this video I talk a little bit more about my love for and the usefulness of the bucksaw, and then show you how to make your own using a bit of paracord, a saw blade, Leatherman, and natural materials.
This is a great project for campers, hikers, backpackers, and woodsmen in general. Having a bucksaw handy can save you a ton of time in processing firewood for various uses. I have even seen a video of someone who processed all the wood to make a log cabin using a buck saw.
I'd love to learn from you if you have ever made one of these. This is a simple version, and there are all kinds of other versions out there. If you've made one before, let me know! How did you do it differently? How can they be improved upon?
