▲ 13 r/Axecraft
Out clearing trail last week with my typical complement of hand tools. 4' crosscut saw, 2.5# Wetterlings Montreal, Silky Big Boy. Much of the woods I hike in Northern Michigan is second or third growth, so few large trees to contend with. These smallish (8"- 16" DBA) trees often start to bind the saw before I can get a wedge in so I do a lot of underbucking off my axe handle. I suppose I could chop them all (this IS an axe site) but the saw is faster on dry, seasoned blowdowns.
