I designed this saw in my head while hiking a section of the AT. Since coming back I have been refining prototypes and I now have a final tested design. I know many LNT-minded backpackers never or rarely make a fire. I completely respect and support that decision.
This saw will be useful for BPLers who like to make a fire in an existing fire ring with downed wood that is too big to break by hand. For me, living in the Northeastern US, this would certainly be a woods tool I could use much of the year on my local trail hikes.
It would also be useful for trail maintainers and others who need or want to clear blowdowns and similar trail treadway impediments. Even faster cutting through green wood than dry with its hybrid blade (has raker teeth).
