Can’t go wrong with a silky fox saw.

N+1, Ton. N+1.

Silky big boy. Should fold up and fit in your pack too

I use a Silky 180 I think it’s called. Amazing thing!
I also have a Gomtaro, but that doesn’t fold.

I could do with one of these, loads of downed trees by me.

We’re still talking about saws, right?

If it was the other thing, i would expect it to be carried a little differently 😯

the main trunk on my picture is about 5ft in diameter.

I’d just snap that over my knee

Or maybe just let nature take its course and leave it alone, ride around it/somewhere else? There’s enough forest destruction without you adding to it.

do you honestly think that i will be wasting my time chopping up a tree that has fallen on a council bridleway?

have you been drinking?

Yes to both questions.

Looks like beaver damage.

Surely if it’s a council bridleway they should clear it, give them a call, make sure they know about it.

Tucked into your sock?

Silky Big Boy. Not cheap but we got one for my BIL and he was a very happy boy afterwards.

Needs a proper size pack to fit in though, check the length.

never mind the length, feel the girth

As my wife says, mirth, not girth.

Oh. 🙁

on a council bridleway

Not quite sure what this means, but if it’s a bridleway, then I think the landowner is responsible for maintaining it to be useable – if it’s council-owned land then them, if it’s privately owned then whoever that is, resorting to the council for enforcement if they won’t / don’t.

You’d need quite a saw to clear that 😯 For more managable debris I’ve got one if these

As recommended by Ray Mears and cuts beautifully.

Silky is better than a Laplander. Silky cuts on the pull stroke only so less likely to bend

I have both, the latter has been relegated to my wife’s gardening tools, the former is still used for playing in the woods

reminds me, I need to de-obstickalize one of my local trails. will probably take the little collapsible fiskars folding saw and some secateurs to scatter the evidence.

Good luck with yours, ton. Looks like someone’s probably coming back for that one, though!

I have the Laplander as it locks when closed, was a bit worried about the silky opening up in my bag. Don’t think theres much in it cutting wise but the silky has a cleaner finish.
