I am partial to a good saw. Very handy and not just for firewood. Once on the Tim river in Algonquin we were able to cut some branches on a fallen tree that spanned the river in order to load up in a substantially safer manner after dragging the boat across.

I also like the saw when trying to set the tarp......can come into play very easily.

I can't remember who turned me onto the Big Boy silky saw which I currently own and love BTW (Prouboy I think). But with a 14" blade it can be a bit overkill unless you are cutting for a group or basecamping.

The f180 seems ideal for solo use. 7" super hi-tech blade (as in dangerous sharp) folding handle and at .5lb it is more attractive than its larger cousin. There is also a new silky product out as well.......Pocketboy........It has a 6.750" blade and 1oz heavier but looks like a better handle design. I am destined to get one or the other.........hmmmm?
