I've used both the Bacho Laplander and the Unbelievable Pocket Chain Saw. They both cut VERY well. If you want a saw that is used regularly then go with the Laplander - or a Silky saw. If you want a compact saw for emergencies then the Unbelievable Pocket Chain Saw is an excellent choice.

Cutting through something must larger than my arm doesn't do much good in the fire unless I split it ... and I really don't like splitting logs. I find enough smaller stuff to do what I need to do. If I'm cutting something that big I'll bring a larger bow saw such as the Trailblazer Take-Down Buck Saw and bring a maul & wedges.

These days I carry a Silky Pocketsaw, though I can't recall the tooth size - it has a black handle.
