See if your life depended on you cutting your arm off, but you could only use stuff in your camelbak - what would you use?

I think I'd be needing to bite it off by virtue of an intense dislike of camelbaks.

How many hands do you need to use a wire saw?

Strip down your rear hub.
Fit the saw tooth rotor the wrong way.
Hand crank like mad.

Since you can clearly do the online equivalent of talking the hind leg off a donkey, talking your own arm off should be a piece of piss.

Zip-tie tourniquet and it would then fall off.

I'm better equipped than you lot anyway.

Got a leatherman with a bone-cutting knife blade on it (bone cutting as it isn't straight but 'rippled') - got some zip ties and other bits plus first aid kit (savlon on the open wound would sort it right out!!!)

I'd go straight for the 7" folding saw I carry around for clearing trails. Reckon that'd get through an arm.

I'd just have to hack at it with my crappy Alien

What if you just pulled at it really, really hard?

Got an aged & fungal cheese sandwich in the bottom of my back. I assume there would be an open cut on my arm I could rub this on. Give it a while and some hideous gangrene type issue would cause my arm to drop off.

I'd get my phone out and call someone else to cut it off.

Paul sometimes carries a pruning saw, I sometimes do too, but never used it. Failing that, I always have a nice sharp leatherman 😀

Would the straps on a Dakine bag get tight enough to use as an effective tourniquet? After that I'd be a bit stuck though as I don't carry anything sharp.

Hmmm don't fancy my options much, the crappy little blade is going to be as much use as a spoon....
