Next up, the saws. The wire type was an inferior product. It kinked and broke after a single use through a thin sapling.

I can attest the pocket chainsaw works well with just its pull rings. They and the saw pack compactly into a tin can.
I've cut a 5" diameter log with it, but for purposes of this test I used it also to cut a sapling for use as a handle. It did that adequately as well.
With my length cut I delimbed the sapling and cut a notch into one end to slide over the blade. The other had a handy hook in branch I chose to utilize. the problem with this saw came in with bending the sapling I chose. It snapped.
I couldn't keep any tension on the blade like that, so I chose to just use my little folding saw for the duration. Its going to take some more trial and error to select the right branch for using it fully extended, but its length would be a serious force multiplier over the folder. It cuts very well.
