Another great video 👍 Another wee tip for popping the wood out after doing the cuts with the saw, is to close the saw and use the exposed spine of the saw blade, keeps the blade from flexing and less chance of damaging the blade 😉
I agree. Even though the teeth are usually harder, you can still ruin their "set", which would reduce its cutting ability and could even lead to one or more broken teeth if one gets too aggressive. Your method helps prevent that.
The efficiency with which you perform these tasks is what separates this video from many others. There were several "why didn't I think of that" moments in this video - well done.
I have to hand it to you mate - I've watched all three of these, and there's not one piece of filler or fluff. So many "10 skills" or similar vids are useless. These are full of great information and techniques that you'd ACTUALLY use. Fantastic. Thanks.
My favorite folding saw is the Stanley Folding Pocket saw. Its primarily used by Draywallers. The blade is only six inches long, but it uses six inch long reciprocating saw blades, which you can buy at any box/hardware store. So you can always have a sharp blade. Plus, you can get different blades for it. Rough, medium and fine cut, plus blades for cutting metal. A very handy little saw.
Try the stanley drywall saw that allows you to change the blade using reciprocating saw blades you can use any type of blades wood, metal theres even carbide for etching stone 👍 plus when it gets dull you just put a brand new blade on!
I've carried one for over 30 yrs as an electrician. There are pruning blades available too. The tooth pattern is reminiscent of a bow saw although they are longer and won't fit in the handle of the stanley.
@@TAOutdoors with flicking the sawn section out with the saw would you not be better turning the saw over and using the back blade to protect the Kerf?
i don't know why exactly but these video are like therapy to me. Always loved the outdoors but never really prioritized it as an interest until now. Most likely gunna be getting some basic kit soon and spending a few nights in the woods
Videos like this are the reason this is my favorite bushcraft channel. You not only put up good entertainment to fill our idle hours, but we can also learn new tips and methods to grow our skills. Many bushcraft channels are just watch me go camping in the woods, which I admittedly do still enjoy watching, but you also do this is how you can accomplish this task in the easiest most efficient way, while still keeping all your fingers and toes. Top notch content!!! Thank you for the hours you have dedicated to teach us how to become better woodsmen or woodswomen for those ladies who also enjoy spending their free time in the forests.
I watched the video, as if I myself were a participant in this snowy tale. I directly feel the smell of a fire and its warmth, at that moment when there is snow and frosty air around. Thanks for the great video!
Absolutely SUPERB work! Excellent presentation, communication, and camera work. Perhaps the most eloquently expressed bushcrafting I've enjoyed online. SPLENDID!
Amazing video! I really appreciate how you’re sharing this knowledge because I’m usually too worried that I’m asking dumb questions or stuff that I should have known. You really make this feel approachable and I NEED to get myself a good saw!
This was a very useful video. To the point no extra crap about the forest. Old pine stumps are great place for fat wood. The coffee on and the bacon frying. You are always welcome to my camp.
I learned 2/ 3 new tricks from this one video, and i consider myself at least reasonably experienced. You've got yourself another subscriber Sir. Thanks. Canada.
10min later: Basically it's a folding saw we need and and a small axe nothing else. Thx for the video it was informative. But for me I will never twist my saw as you did if I were alone "bushwacking" in a survival mode just because I know myself; that It won't last me long (I'm the perfect beta tester I always find the weak spot in everything even a saw hahahah). I would add a 3" head spear (for combat), 2 skinning knife:1 butcher, 1 for small catches. I liked the V notch dead tree idea the most.
Mate that bow saw technique of placing it on the ground and between the legs is brilliant. I can't believe I couldn't work that out, or haven't seen it before. Thanks a ton for this clip, it's hugely beneficial to me
Another great video! Thank you for sharing these ideas and tips. You will help me to be more efficient when I’m in the woods next time! Keep them coming Mike!! 👊🏾
That first tip was genius! I would have never thought in a million years to do that. I'm pretty familiar with the rest of the tips but that first one, beautiful job.
@TA Outdoors Ok YOU SIR ???? You are GOOOOOOD 🙌🙌 Thanks for these amazing forest hacks [pardon the pun] LOL Keep up the great work my friend. Hello from Ontario Canada !
I’m disabled, so getting out to camp is difficult to use these skills. But I enjoy blade making, and these nifty vids informs that craft when making them as rugged tools. Thanks.♥️
I don’t even waste my energy cutting wood most of the time, you can just feed the fire from the side. The saw is almost a necessity to making shelters though. It can be done without one, but being about to cut to length is very helpful. Thanks for posting.
Loving this video! Thank you for all you share! :D How about a "What I pack" video? I'd love to see an unloaded backpack for a 1-3 night simple bushcraft camp.
Thanks, great content as alsways! I am a big fan of bushcraft saws also, and I mainly use a small Laplander and a Silky Katanaboy 500. I´d like to add a simple trick which leans on what you show 06:20 onwards. Especially in beech forests, you may be lucky and find smaller trees standing very close together or trees having grown in a sort of v-shape close above the ground. You can then fix / wedge the pole to cut between the trunks, with one hand pulling or pressing to stabilize and the other hand using the saw. Works great in my experience. Stay save and best regards from Germany! 🙂
Ha, that was absolutely brilliant! I am an axe man but I recently purchased 2 Silky saws and am blown away by them (when my back is shot after hours of chainsawing, pulling out the Silky saw is such a pleasure for cross cutting rounds!)...... so to see this video of bushcraft tips for saws is a real eye opener. I had almost binned my old bowsaw in favour of these amazing Japanese pull saws but maybe I'll bring it back given your first tip....I have a ton of wood too small to chainsaw and your tip #1 sounds like a great way of getting through it quick. I also love the various clever and innovative ways of steadying a piece of wood whilst sawing it. I wanna get out there and try them all out now!! All the best, Phil, Snowdonia.
Thank you for the video. I did a lot of the safety stuff relayed in the video, BUT it also highlighted some of the not so safe things I thought were safe but really not safe enough. Thank you for the correction. Fantastic video. Truly.
I'm grateful I don't have to deal with any of this due to the drought and fire hazard here in SW. No camp fires, gas stove instead, and tents for shelter. Where I miss the campfire, I no longer miss the work of bushcraft. Note on using the saw blade as a pry bar. I fashioned a hilt on my saw, and it makes a great chipper.
i love those little tips and tricks vids, even when knowing a few, its a great help for ppl getting into it at first, and i bet even veterans can learn something new here or there ^^
Amazing tips, thanks Mike!So many great tips there. Cue the haters mumbling about snapping off saw teeth, use the back of the blade if you are worried, it's more flexible.
Good job highlighting to cut the stomp off as low as possible. I always wonder seeing other (also great by the way) bushcrafters cutting the stomps off at waist level and leaving them standing. I think we all should cut the stomps as low as possible, otherwise the woods look like a logging area, which is not good I think. Thanks for the video!
Another great video 👍
Another wee tip for popping the wood out after doing the cuts with the saw, is to close the saw and use the exposed spine of the saw blade, keeps the blade from flexing and less chance of damaging the blade 😉
Great tip. Flexing the teeth inwards by using the cutting edge to pry will lead to the saw getting stuck while cutting.
I agree. Even though the teeth are usually harder, you can still ruin their "set", which would reduce its cutting ability and could even lead to one or more broken teeth if one gets too aggressive. Your method helps prevent that.
Trying that with a Silky will get you a broken saw...
The efficiency with which you perform these tasks is what separates this video from many others. There were several "why didn't I think of that" moments in this video - well done.
Thanks for this super helpful video!
Cheers Felix!
Hello Felix. Hope you're having good quality time off and look forward to see you back soon in a new sak video. Cheers from Belgium.
Magnificent forest! Wonderful job! I returned from the forest yesterday. Recorded a new series. Reboot for a whole week. Good luck to you!

Use them all the time. Was a drywaller when I was 17-18, and it's one tool that I've always had with since then
Interesting thanks for the tip!

Only 6 inches 😢
Pure class, hadn't heard or seen a lot of those methods demonstrated until now and I've used saws in my time.
Ya same. Impressed. Lol
@Forest brothers dont be a ...
This has been a fantastic series. Would love to see more similar videos in the future.
Glad you enjoyed it - more to come.
Magnificent forest! Wonderful job! I returned from the forest yesterday. Recorded a new series. Reboot for a whole week. Good luck to you!

As an Arborist I am so glad to see anyone find Silkey saws, best handsaw available! 🔥
Thanks this helped 😊

I didn't even watch that video before I ordered one, but I'm looking forward to the Agawa saw.
Love that pole saw tip. Thanks
Great tips Mike.
Got myself the outback edition and a holster. No regrets!
Well done!
i like listening to Mike talk. he's got a soothing voice. sometimes, i learn stuff, but usually, im just mellowed by his presence in my day
Your experience and presentation is very educational.
Great video….. Thank You

Really love your 10 in 10 series...maybe one on useful bushcraft knots, best insulation tips, finding safe water??? Just some ideas.
simply genius in the making of this helpful video.
Mate that bow saw technique of placing it on the ground and between the legs is brilliant. I can't believe I couldn't work that out, or haven't seen it before. Thanks a ton for this clip, it's hugely beneficial to me
I'd never given this any thought until now. This is definitely one of the most useful videos I've ever seen. Thank you for this.
I like how you included different smart cutting ways people don’t usually think about. I’ve sent this to others I know
Another great video! Thank you for sharing these ideas and tips. You will help me to be more efficient when I’m in the woods next time! Keep them coming Mike!! 👊🏾
That first tip was genius! I would have never thought in a million years to do that. I'm pretty familiar with the rest of the tips but that first one, beautiful job.
Using a folding pruning saw as a part of my kit is relatively new to me (about three years). It’s genius and any techniques are appreciated.
@TA Outdoors
Ok YOU SIR ???? You are GOOOOOOD 🙌🙌 Thanks for these amazing forest hacks [pardon the pun] LOL Keep up the great work my friend.

I saw what you did there. 😂

Always elegant and helpful. Thanks
I love that folding longsaw, it reminds me when I was stuck in the Dream, Hunting beasts in Yharnam
I'm grateful I don't have to deal with any of this due to the drought and fire hazard here in SW. No camp fires, gas stove instead, and tents for shelter. Where I miss the campfire, I no longer miss the work of bushcraft. Note on using the saw blade as a pry bar. I fashioned a hilt on my saw, and it makes a great chipper.
That's a lot of knowledge. Thank You.
Really liked the pole saw and the moving wood against the anchored bow saw those were new tips I’ll definitely need to try out
Good job ❤️
i love those little tips and tricks vids, even when knowing a few, its a great help for ppl getting into it at first, and i bet even veterans can learn something new here or there ^^
One video and instant subscriber this guy's information and knowledge is golden
thank you u are teaching me valuable lessons I hope to be like you one day because u are my role model thank u!
Amazing tips, thanks Mike!So many great tips there. Cue the haters mumbling about snapping off saw teeth, use the back of the blade if you are worried, it's more flexible.
I love these 10skills in 10 mins 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
An excellent presentation. Congrats
My folding saws are _Silky F180 Pro_ and _Silky BigBoy 360 Pro._ I love them! They do a great job!
THANKS for a fine addition to the Ten-Tips Series!
Best bushcraft videos on the net 🤘👍👌
Great end to the series mate. Some handy tips there Mike
Thanks mate!
Very good! Thank you. I have just bought an Agawa folding saw...looking forward to trying your suggested method with it.
Good job highlighting to cut the stomp off as low as possible. I always wonder seeing other (also great by the way) bushcrafters cutting the stomps off at waist level and leaving them standing. I think we all should cut the stomps as low as possible, otherwise the woods look like a logging area, which is not good I think. Thanks for the video!
Simple but brilliant. Thank you.
A very helpful trilogy of videos, beautifully done as usual. Thank you!
Wow, a video that actually delivers what it says!
Blinking Awesome!! Learned sooo much! Thanks for these vids.
Great video. Some of these techniques I've never seen before. Super helpful. 👍🏼👍🏼
