Folding Saw

Processing firewood and building natural shelters are two of the most labour-intensive survival tasks, and a folding saw transforms both from exhausting ordeals into manageable jobs. Batoning wood with a knife risks damaging your blade and is painfully slow for anything thicker than a wrist. A folding saw cuts through 10cm-diameter branches in seconds, giving you the materials for a solid lean-to frame, a raised sleeping platform, or a night's worth of firewood in a fraction of the time. In UK woodlands where fallen deadwood is abundant, a saw lets you capitalise on that resource efficiently and safely.

Deploy your folding saw whenever you need to process wood for fire or shelter in UK woodland and forest environments. It excels at cutting standing deadwood for dry fuel during wet weather, trimming branches to size for a ridge pole, and clearing small limbs from a shelter site. It is also useful for cutting through roots when preparing a flat sleeping area, and for processing kindling from larger pieces of wood during wild camping in areas like the Scottish Highlands, New Forest, or Snowdonia.
