10 Bushcraft Saw Skills in 10 Minutes

We’ve covered Bushcraft axe skills, Bushcraft knife skills, and now to finish the trilogy we cover 10 Bushcraft saw skills in just 10 minutes. A hand saw is one of the most under rated Bushcraft tools for camp crafts and camping tasks. You don’t necessarily need a large saw, a simple small folding saw can do most of the tasks that you need. Whether it be building survival shelters or going on a solo overnight camping trip. Be sure to look at the playlist link below for more wilderness survival skills and Bushcraft tips.

Another great video 👍 Another wee tip for popping the wood out after doing the cuts with the saw, is to close the saw and use the exposed spine of the saw blade, keeps the blade from flexing and less chance of damaging the blade 😉

[@heatshield]

Great tip. Flexing the teeth inwards by using the cutting edge to pry will lead to the saw getting stuck while cutting.

[@Jackalski57]

I agree. Even though the teeth are usually harder, you can still ruin their "set", which would reduce its cutting ability and could even lead to one or more broken teeth if one gets too aggressive. Your method helps prevent that.

[@RnRJB]

Trying that with a Silky will get you a broken saw...

[@johnnycastellanetta7183]

The efficiency with which you perform these tasks is what separates this video from many others. There were several "why didn't I think of that" moments in this video - well done.

[@longrider42]

My favorite folding saw is the Stanley Folding Pocket saw. Its primarily used by Draywallers. The blade is only six inches long, but it uses six inch long reciprocating saw blades, which you can buy at any box/hardware store. So you can always have a sharp blade. Plus, you can get different blades for it. Rough, medium and fine cut, plus blades for cutting metal. A very handy little saw.

[@1985ThePedro]

Use them all the time. Was a drywaller when I was 17-18, and it's one tool that I've always had with since then

[@ogopp7834]

Interesting thanks for the tip!

[@michaelizzard3623]

Try the stanley drywall saw that allows you to change the blade using reciprocating saw blades you can use any type of blades wood, metal theres even carbide for etching stone 👍 plus when it gets dull you just put a brand new blade on!

[@TNBushcrafter]

I've carried one for over 30 yrs as an electrician. There are pruning blades available too. The tooth pattern is reminiscent of a bow saw although they are longer and won't fit in the handle of the stanley.

[@zgau0817]

Only 6 inches 😢

[@TheSaneHatter]

We came. We saw. We survived.

[@SPARTAN-dj4rv]

I saw what you did there. 😂

[@bwhite429]

He sawz all

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks for this super helpful video!

[@TAOutdoors]

Cheers Felix!

[@Vince26010]

Hello Felix. Hope you're having good quality time off and look forward to see you back soon in a new sak video. Cheers from Belgium.

[@vadim_546]

Magnificent forest! Wonderful job! I returned from the forest yesterday. Recorded a new series. Reboot for a whole week. Good luck to you!

[@jhb1493]

I have to hand it to you mate - I've watched all three of these, and there's not one piece of filler or fluff. So many "10 skills" or similar vids are useless. These are full of great information and techniques that you'd ACTUALLY use. Fantastic. Thanks.

[@timbo4374]

Videos like this are the reason this is my favorite bushcraft channel. You not only put up good entertainment to fill our idle hours, but we can also learn new tips and methods to grow our skills. Many bushcraft channels are just watch me go camping in the woods, which I admittedly do still enjoy watching, but you also do this is how you can accomplish this task in the easiest most efficient way, while still keeping all your fingers and toes. Top notch content!!! Thank you for the hours you have dedicated to teach us how to become better woodsmen or woodswomen for those ladies who also enjoy spending their free time in the forests.

[@jasonjohnson6344]

This particular 3 part series has been outstanding and I believe that this is one of the best I’ve ever seen regarding saw techniques. Great info. 👍👍

[@romac9516]

Pure class, hadn't heard or seen a lot of those methods demonstrated until now and I've used saws in my time.

[@andrewbrown6522]

Ya same. Impressed. Lol

[@etno2010]

@Forest brothers dont be a ...

[@liamstopmotionandfilms7307]

I love these Bushcraft skills so much! Your videos are amazing and have taught me so many things!

[@javcassim13]

Another great video! Thank you for sharing these ideas and tips. You will help me to be more efficient when I’m in the woods next time! Keep them coming Mike!! 👊🏾

[@krister3863]

Got to love that Silky 360 folding saw.

[@Antipodean33]

Mate that bow saw technique of placing it on the ground and between the legs is brilliant. I can't believe I couldn't work that out, or haven't seen it before. Thanks a ton for this clip, it's hugely beneficial to me

[@richardbidinger2577]

I'd never given this any thought until now. This is definitely one of the most useful videos I've ever seen. Thank you for this.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

THANKS for a fine addition to the Ten-Tips Series!

[@garyhomanick6129]

The practical knowledge and methods in these videos can / will save many lives. We thank you, Mr. TA Outdoors!

[@richardlooch2109]

i dont know about saving lives but it will make peoples days in the woods significantly easier.

[@Altriex.]

GREAT! 💎 As an Arborist I am so glad to see anyone find Silkey saws, best handsaw available! 🔥

[@bushcraftid1117]

I watched the video, as if I myself were a participant in this snowy tale. I directly feel the smell of a fire and its warmth, at that moment when there is snow and frosty air around. Thanks for the great video!

[@LucyFire7]

Thank you for making this series!!! Very valuable knowledge!

[@Thisisnttravis]

Got myself the outback edition and a holster. No regrets!

[@dallasbryan2484]

I love my outback saw-Thanks for the tips!

[@t_n_rasberry8387]

I like how you included different smart cutting ways people don’t usually think about. I’ve sent this to others I know

[@williamharriss3363]

A very helpful trilogy of videos, beautifully done as usual. Thank you!

[@12stepsbeyondtheeventhorizon]

This has been a fantastic series. Would love to see more similar videos in the future.

[@TAOutdoors]

Glad you enjoyed it - more to come.

[@vadim_546]

Magnificent forest! Wonderful job! I returned from the forest yesterday. Recorded a new series. Reboot for a whole week. Good luck to you!

[@steveokon5431]

I love your videos! Lots of great tips! I would like to have the list of the brand of knife, ax and hatchet you have here please.

[@ddoherty5956]

@@TAOutdoors with flicking the sawn section out with the saw would you not be better turning the saw over and using the back blade to protect the Kerf?

[@agesadventures]

Great video and extremely helpful. I'm going to try out the one you did with the Agawa Canyon saw by moving the logs across the blade to cut the wood. Thank you for the video, much appreciated😀

[@SiljeMeum]

Loving this video! Thank you for all you share! :D How about a "What I pack" video? I'd love to see an unloaded backpack for a 1-3 night simple bushcraft camp.

[@theguywitheyebrows]

i like listening to Mike talk. he's got a soothing voice. sometimes, i learn stuff, but usually, im just mellowed by his presence in my day

[@Khryptic]

i don't know why exactly but these video are like therapy to me. Always loved the outdoors but never really prioritized it as an interest until now. Most likely gunna be getting some basic kit soon and spending a few nights in the woods

[@offgridcabinquietadventure3812]

Very clear and helpful and satisfying to watch. Thank you sir!

[@assassinlexx1993]

This was a very useful video. To the point no extra crap about the forest. Old pine stumps are great place for fat wood. The coffee on and the bacon frying. You are always welcome to my camp.

[@DIYDad1]

I’ve really enjoyed this video series. Lots of helpful tips to make tasks so much easier.

[@Tallness1000]

Simple but brilliant. Thank you.

[@MlguelPires]

I love that folding longsaw, it reminds me when I was stuck in the Dream, Hunting beasts in Yharnam

[@mikesather1345]

Thank you for the variety of ideas. It will make my time in the woods easier and more productive. Keep up the great videos.

[@s.campbell6394]

Well done.

[@philholman8520]

Ace! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@jackg7225]

Great tips! Thanks, I’ll have to try some of these next time I’m camping.

[@mtb416]

Thank you for the video. I did a lot of the safety stuff relayed in the video, BUT it also highlighted some of the not so safe things I thought were safe but really not safe enough. Thank you for the correction. Fantastic video. Truly.

[@nunyabusiness863]

Thanks for this well demonstrated and well narrated info. It is timeless info for anyone getting into bushcraft.

[@Dinehtah]

Really love your 10 in 10 series...maybe one on useful bushcraft knots, best insulation tips, finding safe water??? Just some ideas.

[@RoyceKitts]

that first tip is gold.

[@davidhudson7590]

Finding your tips most interesting and make life easier

[@arikjohnson412]

Loved all 3!

[@Redeemed52597]

Your experience and presentation is very educational.

[@revjack1529]

I'm feeling impressed and edified; thank you!

[@sunasuna0075]

simply genius in the making of this helpful video.

[@FidoHouse]

Very good! Thank you. I have just bought an Agawa folding saw...looking forward to trying your suggested method with it.

[@TAR3N]

Make more of these when you can. Please don’t stop at 3 :) I wish you and your family the best of success and happiness in 2022 . Thank you for your channel

[@SonoraSlinger]

Outstanding demonstration! I learn so much from your channel. Excited for more as always

[@tomsterism]

Absolutely SUPERB work! Excellent presentation, communication, and camera work. Perhaps the most eloquently expressed bushcrafting I've enjoyed online. SPLENDID!

[@ArcturanMegadonkey]

Brilliant video once again. Always some really useful tips

[@marknthetrails7627]

I'm working this winter to make my gear for next spring's camping trips. I'm in the process of editing my 1st 8 videos of a 326-mile bike ride and will be switching over to camping and plan on giving your and Bloke's techniques a try on the trail, (hopefully). always a pleasure.

[@TheCatchandTheHatch]

These are amazingly helpful and creative and straightforward change nothing except frequency. I hunger for more! Great job. Going to go saw wood now

[@fearthehoneybadger]

Your videos are always welcome.

[@beauxtx1959]

Best Bushcraft saw video I've ever seen. All very useful tips.

[@TrustinTimber]

Love that pole saw tip. Thanks

[@rrcaniglia]

ONCE AGAIN, OUTSTANDING!

[@naomy1701]

i love those little tips and tricks vids, even when knowing a few, its a great help for ppl getting into it at first, and i bet even veterans can learn something new here or there ^^

[@michaeljones5395]

Great Tip Series Mike! Thanks for sharing!

[@GuyHeadbanger]

I needed that one with the pine trees, thank you so much!

[@johnhavel7685]

Really liked the pole saw and the moving wood against the anchored bow saw those were new tips I’ll definitely need to try out

[@danieljames2718]

Blinking Awesome!! Learned sooo much! Thanks for these vids.

[@johnspruit7296]

I learned 2/ 3 new tricks from this one video, and i consider myself at least reasonably experienced. You've got yourself another subscriber Sir. Thanks. Canada.

[@noahrolland5671]

Always elegant and helpful. Thanks

[@ScottMitchell2]

You're the best sir. Thanks for the great ideas that have been making me more productive in the woods 🙏🏼

[@etno2010]

very old things...but refreshed today...still good...

[@Gmar69]

Cutting those small branches like that is just simple geometry that people don't consider. Genius!!

[@tombob671]

Excellent video, thank you. Cheers from Oklahoma

[@kachiri]

My folding saws are _Silky F180 Pro_ and _Silky BigBoy 360 Pro._ I love them! They do a great job!

[@UnfinishedSymphony]

Thanks, great content as alsways! I am a big fan of bushcraft saws also, and I mainly use a small Laplander and a Silky Katanaboy 500. I´d like to add a simple trick which leans on what you show 06:20 onwards. Especially in beech forests, you may be lucky and find smaller trees standing very close together or trees having grown in a sort of v-shape close above the ground. You can then fix / wedge the pole to cut between the trunks, with one hand pulling or pressing to stabilize and the other hand using the saw. Works great in my experience. Stay save and best regards from Germany! 🙂

[@nothyperbole4984]

This was very informative. Looking forward to using these bushcraft skills to make a shelter off the grid. Bugout bag is packed 🌲🌲🌲

[@TS-xj5mt]

First time at your channel and I'm avid outdoorsman and immediately learned tricks haven't seen anywhere else. Brilliant I'm subscribing

ENJOYED YOUR SHOW Greetings from Maastricht NL

[@mortenkalland]

Great tips, and just 10 minutes, its a miracle.

[@Vince26010]

Thank you Mike. Very informative and well made video as always.

[@commentarytalk1446]

These skills are so clever. Thank you very much for sharing! I need to watch then review these videos and then apply the techniques.

[@warequalsnofuture]

Awesome tipps, thanks so much!

[@eriktaylor5704]

Using a folding pruning saw as a part of my kit is relatively new to me (about three years). It’s genius and any techniques are appreciated.

[@kingrafa3938]

Great tips Mike.

[@markjust86]

Thanks, I got a few tips that I never considered before from these

[@withoutdoors5230]

Great tips! Especially the vice!!

[@zeseries94]

Very helpful content. Thank you Mike.

[@jakewade7388]

Excellent tips!

[@orangebanana7129]

These videos are excellent. Thanks Mike!

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Great conclusion to a great series!

[@candicecrawford2996]

This series should be taught in public schools across the world.

[@MrTimstaaa]

Great video. Some of these techniques I've never seen before. Super helpful. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@jeremybryant5778]

Thanks for the tips. I have the exact silky bigboy outback and bahco Laplander you used. I like them both a lot and appreciate some good ideas to put them to use. God bless

[@tikitavi7120]

Wow, a video that actually delivers what it says!

[@JohnERed]

Outstanding tips n tricks. Thanks cheers

[@unknown-fs3hj]

I love this 10 min series

[@pierofavale8043]

Thanks a lot for your tips! that was very useful!

[@luiskunder]

Fantastic tips and tricks! Thank´s for sharing.

[@TheAldzyrdas]

Cool skills, thank you for these videos. I used to make a lot of firewood as a teen using only axe and a saw. For building structures probably these are better saws, but for making firewood there was nothing better for me than a handsaw, these little saws will take your strength very quickly, with sharp handsaw one could take pretty serious logs and work for hours. Better firewood from big logs

[@dakotaovdan]

Saving all these videos for one day when I live off the land!

[@serenelychaotic]

I’m disabled, so getting out to camp is difficult to use these skills. But I enjoy blade making, and these nifty vids informs that craft when making them as rugged tools. Thanks.♥️

[@maartenzeeful]

Nice the sawing while fixating it. Thanks!

[@margaritagonzalez8625]

Beautifully done!

[@matthewortiz7223]

Great video thanks..I learned alot in 10 minutes and for free..

[@sawmillsam7156]

In the past, when backpacking, I have used a 1/4" nylon rope with a rock tied to the end. Then throw it over a branch, and pull it down. Easier than a makeshift polesaw when dry wood is scarce. Its the same 100' rope I use to hang my food.
