We had some tree branches we had to cut in our back yard. These would be the same size as needed for shelter construction. My Leatherman Charge saw would have been slow and painful. The handle on the Leatherman is not designed for prolonged hard use. It has lots of sharp edges on the handle. I used my Gerber Sportsman's Saw and it was amazing how easy it is to cut. It seems green wood is much easier to cut than dry wood. The handle on the Sportsman's saw is comfortable for long, heavy use. I keep one in my Camelbak. It is light and flat. I think it is worth its weight.

With a PSK sometimes I feel like Felix the Cat with his bag of tricks. <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
