Carrying a hand saw on a walk in the countryside can be really embarassing. Any recommendations for an alternative?
-
I made a sheath for a drywall saw(6"blade) and carry that on my walks. I only cut stuff under 3" with it though.
-
I got a fiskars 10" folding pruning saw. It's very sharp, quiet, cheap. It's like 11 1/2" long. Fits in the inside pocket of my jacket, tucked in my belt, backpack. Or like Don says make a sheath. Cheers- Brendan

Folding saw carried up your sleeve.

Where do you hide the stave on the way out? ;D ;D

Why is it embarrassing to carry a saw in public? And who cares what people think... unless you don't have permission to cut...
I'd be embarrassed to walk down the road with earbuds in...

walking stick :D
There's a huge amount of scrub woodland on brown-field sights around my village which no-one lays claim to, so can't find anyone for permission to cut................

A wire cable saw will roll up, and easily fit in a pouch or pocket - you could wear it as a hat band, as well >:D :). Of course, you would only meet someone on the day you find 3 good staves😂😇. Where's the village?

Where are you? I'm guessing somewhere on the left side of the pond? If you are on this side, you can find out who owns the land by searching property records, usually online. It's possible that the government has taken possession because the polluters are out of the picture. In that case, I'd probably just hike in and cut something I could carry out.

If a pruning saw is embarrassing, you could always carry a ch@!n$@w.

Firstly don't waste your time worrying what other people think and secondly look at 'Silky' saws :)

I've cut some pretty big stuff with a folding pruning saw. Damn sharp, cheap and convenient.

I'm with Mike and Jim.If I have permission there.I really don't care what others think.

My current saw is a contractors panel saw, those Silky pocket saws look very nice; I feel an upgrade coming on ;D
-
Look up the pocket chainsaw. I keep one on my truck, and have cut up to 10" trees with it (takes a while, but it works!)
-
Like Ballasted said, carry a chainsaw, or even better, an axe. People won't talk to you or question you.
And like Jim said, wearing a pair of headphones the size of Princess Leia buns is quite a bit more embarrassing.
-
Get one of those canes with a hidden samurai sword. Those things are SWEEEEET!!!
Seriously though, I carry a small Li ion battery powered chain saw. Fits in my back pack and cuts through a 10" diameter log 4 times on one battery. It's nearly as quiet as a hand saw too. It's also far safer than a gas chainsaw.

Upgraded! Pruned a couple of broom trees - the lengths are about 26" long and 2 or 3" diameter

Nice upgrade, those things cut really nice. I've got some full length broom similar too that. Looking forward to trying it out. Cheers- Brendan

If I have permission I carry the chainsaw in a big duffle bag. Don't care what people think, but I don't want to give any little kids nightmares. :D
