Pocket Chainsaw for Camping - 36 Inch Heavy Duty Steel Hand Chainsaw - 48 Teeth Pocket Saw - 65Mn Hand Chain Saw with Handles - Handy Camping Gear - Bushcraft Survival Gear and Supplies

The pocket chainsaw comes in an easy to carry and high quality bag that it can be stored in, which is super helpful so it isn't just sitting around in my backpack, especially after its been used as is covered in bits of tree and branch.The paracord handle is likely the most comfortable to use because of the back and forth pulling, so I'd recommend it over another the other options unless you have gloves.The blade itself is definitely sturdy and strong, but because it is only one-sided there were a couple times when it would get caught, especially towards the ends of branches when the blade would start to reach itself. Even still, it was sharp and easy enough to use that it would cut to a part where the branch or tree could easily be snapped or bent.It's not a necessity, but it is lightweight and fun to bring on a camping trip, and does its job super well! I even think about buying a second one, or maybe gifting one to my friend!

I specifically bought this saw to cut a large branch from a pine three that was around 40’ in the air. The branch turned out to be over 6” in diameter but by tying on a couple ropes to the nylon handles and working it back and forth for about 10 minutes we had the branch down successfully and with little fuss. The saw folds up small and is very simple and well built. The carry case would make it great to throw in a backpack while hiking. One tip though for using. While pulling the saw up into position it flipped over so the cutting teeth were in the air not on the tree. By twisting the rope we attached a bunch of times and gently pulling on the opposite rope, we were able to flip it over so the teeth were biting into the wood. Awesome product. Highly recommend.

We used it to take down a tree that was dead in our front yard. We cut the large limbs off. The only thing that could have made it better was if it was sharp on both sides so that no matter how it landed on the limb it would still cut. It worked well and we learned how to pitch it to do the most work quickly. Otherwise, it would be great for camping and limbs that are on the ground. A good tool for that.

Excellent all around. Sharp, lightweight, compact, well-made, durable, cuts branches, everything it needs to be and do - that's what it is and does. It has been a solution to not going out and buying a gas-powered chainsaw. This will also go right into my camping set of accessories seasonally. Not much else to say other than if you're reading this review, then I would definitely recommend you just buy it.

Was tired of using the Christmas tree fam's dull, used saws. They don't allow any form of powered saw (even battery powered). This baby cuts like butter. So much easier, and it comes in a compact pouch to protect from being cut.

It's light weight, compact, efficient, with a great price point that delivers the capabilities of a chainsaw without the weight, clunky size, noise, and risk inherent in a gas powered chainsaw. Obviously, a gas powered chainsaw is appropriate for many situations, most notably those requiring speed. But for me, a mountain biking enthusiast, the Pocket Chainsaw gives me the power to immediately remove fallen trees off my favorite trails. No longer must I wait months or even years for someone to clear fallen trees off trails. I can do it myself on the same day I encounter the tree. That is tremendously empowering, especially in an area with frequent tree fall where I do most of my mountain biking. I've also used the pocket chainsaw to comfortably lift and move logs out of the way. Just place the smooth side of the chainsaw under the log and lift by the hand straps. I've also used it to create levers (out of smaller dead trees) to lift and move heavy tree sections cut apart by my pocket chainsaw. From my point of view, I'm the primary beneficiary of the pocket chainsaw. But other mountain bikers as well as hikers equally benefit from my immediate removal of these trees that block the trails.

My husband could not figure out how to make it work. I haven't tried it. The handyman pulled out his chain saw and when I gifted the third party- haven't heard back. BUT, it's packaged neatly and I still believe for small saplings and camping it would be ideal.

I bought this for a recent hiking trip where I knew I needed something that could pair with a hatchet for cutting just enough firewood for a day or two.This can cut through 4 inch diameter branches in about 10 minutes and won't leave you sweating like a hatchet would. (But, to be clear, you're still sweating)This comes in a pouch you can put on your hip. The chain easily fits back in the pouch, even with gloves in. It'll weigh very little. My Leatherman probably weighed the same.Biggest problem I had was pulling both sides of the chain at the same angle and force so that my cuts met in the middle. But that's not a problem with the chain, but the user.
