And I third the motion on a folding saw. Batoning is a technique of last resort, IMHO. The Vic saw is good, but only for fine work like shelter building. If you need to make firewood managable, it's a bad joke.


It is not a last resort if what you want to do is SPLIT the wood to get to the drier wood inside...
Also, for some people(myself included) sawing motions will tire me out VERY quickly, while I can chop or baton for MUCH longer before tiring...
