Bushcraft Collapsible Bucksaw. How to make one in camp using basic bushcraft tools.

In this video I will make a green wood collapsible bucksaw using just a few basic tools. I hope you enjoy.

[@richardallis663]

Been watching you and Andy's use of this saw and have been wanting one. I got the general idea just from watching the assembly and still shots but to see you make one just makes me want to make my own. Yeah, I got the shop for it. I got tools that fix tools! My wife and I enjoy the camps, the cooks and the bushcraft. It has inspired me to do the truck camp thing. I will be building a pop up canopy soon. Like you I do a lot of my own makeshift builds and sew my own bags and do my own repairs. We live in the Pacific Northwest in the Mt.s and plenty of overnight spots along the rivers and lakes surrounding us. Thanks for sharing.

[@CFWaittoleave]

It’s a beautiful thing . Rewarding to say the least.

[@darrinrebagliati5365]

I usually carry a bent spiral nail and a couple finishing nails in my repair kit as I am holding the top of my homemade bag open w a 20"(21"?) Utility blade! Great build, thanks!

[@larrybadman9965]

YOU DID A GREAT JOB, AS IT CONCERNS THE BUCKSAW IN THE WOODS AND THE BUCKSAW IN THE LAB WITH ASHWOOD. THE ONLY EXTRA THING THAT I WOULD DO, ACCORDING TO THE BUCKSAW IN THE FIELD IS, TO CUT OFF ALL THE EDGES FROM THE TWO SIDE PARTS AND MAKE THEM MORE CIRCULAR, IN CASE, I USE IT FOR LONG TIME, JUST NOT TO HARM THE PALMS. OTHERWISE, EVERYTHING IS EXCELLENT. THE BEST BLADE SAWS IN THE MARKET, IN MY OPINION, ARE FROM BAHCO AND AUGUSTA. VERY GOOD VIDEO AND YOU EXPLAIN EVERYTHING IN DETAILS.

[@WarrenKimpel]

another nice useful video THANKS

[@lindsaycranch8130]

Just wow! This will be my 3rd make from your vids. 😁

[@annebeginn2034]

Ive been wanting a buck saw for a wee while, my hubby set too and made me one out of an old chair that had seen its best. Fabulous works really well, I just need to make it a bag now. So simple and efficient ☺️

[@ericg1971]

Glad i saw your video.......videos as i saw a few that lead to this one ...........gonna make a few as presents and one for myself , love the whole design etc and thanks for sharing your expertise along with the name of the blade maker ........already searched them out and will be ordering

[@davidstorm4911]

I normally pin my blade but I like the idea of the spilt rings. Build once correctly, it will last a very long time. Enjoyed your videos. Liked mate

[@jacksg1809]

Hi Simon been binge watching Ur videos while I've been sick with flu . Love this saw seen Ur mate Kent survival use one too. Talking of Andy I laugh alot when u two are out together 🤣 .

[@keithanoldguyoutdoors4778]

My next project...great video thanks...👍

[@matthewtanner9823]

I've just been for a walk with my dog up into the hills. It had been snowing and was cold but I felt compelled to sit there and do something. I wish I'd watched this video beforehand and had the right components to make a buck saw. I would still be there now. Thanks for sharing and giving me the insentive, I'll be doing it soon.

[@daviddale260]

I'm addicted to your series!!! I've enjoyed watching what I've seen so far. And great job, dad, teaching your son all of this early. My dad did the same and I have passed skills on down to my son as well. More dads need to do that. Thanks for setting the example.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thank you David! I hope Tom remembers the trips and adventures when he’s older and does stuff with his kids (or I’ll have to do it instead! 😂)

[@danandmoniquecarson7382]

Simon, your great. Thank you

[@marknthetrails7627]

I have 3. Two boys and a girl all between 2 and 13. I work away from home a lot but hopefully for not much longer. I live on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, Canada. 🇨🇦 Perfect for bushcraft. CHEERS

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

dave b - very, very envious of where you live!! If I could emigrate to anywhere in the world, I think it would be B.C. !! I have a friend who lives on Vancouver island, makes me jealous all the time! Atb, and good luck with the change in work situation!

[@georgepennington8534]

[@gordonmccalister1892]

Hi Simon, Just looking back through some of your older videos. I am glad that you left teaching and are a happy man/ father/ Husband. I am also happy you are still teaching us all! You have a gift for giving us knowledge, and I for one appreciate it. Please stay safe in this time and when you can keep teaching us. Hello again from Indiana. Cheers

[@charlesmarlett6856]

Absolutely wonderful. I have a buck saw that I purchased ages ago. I love working with wood and my hands. Thank you Simon. I very much enjoy your videos. Cheers! Chuck

[@pedroquiroz3147]

Awesome! You make it look so easy that I'm going to try it my self. I loved your video.

Thanks a million. I was looking for a buck saw video and you came through. Your method is easy enough and it uses some important basic woodsman skills. You're the best.

[@bernarddevera9842]

A double thumbs up definitely..Keep your videos running..

[@circusman6]

Awesome I’m going to build one today!

[@scopex2749]

[@vegasvato55]

USEFUL BUSH CRAFT SKILLS.... YOU GO DAWG... I LOVE IT

[@everready19373]

Very cool. I would have notched the upright for the cordage though. I makes set up and take down a lot easier.

[@mathewhorney3303]

Nice work ! Thanks

[@chrispierce2942]

That's bad ass, great craftsmanship

[@I-am-Sam]

Brilliant. Well demonstrated and made. I like it a lot and will make myself one. Thank you very much.

Just finished making a dry wood saw with a 3' Swedish bushman triumph blade we picked up from an antique store for $3 - and with reference to this video it was an enjoyable project! Thanks as always Simon, God Bless!!! Adam and Katey

[@EvanOutdoors]

Great tutorial there Simon. Thank you !

[@EvanOutdoors]

I'd love to see a tutorial on sharpening knives and axes etc. Something that i can never seem to get right. Cheers.

[@ebony5766]

I really enjoyed this step by step video. I'm at my cabin for a week and this will be a great project!

[@bushcraft_survival]

Perfect! Very useful.

[@Bowwylad]

Thanks do much for this Simon, managed to make one finally, took two attempts and a huge struggle. Do not give up people, its not that easy as Simon makes it look :)

[@zacharyquisenberry89]

I have to practice making one of these until I have the skill. thank you Simon.

[@gregoutdoors7]

Great job Simon! I am inspired, Thanks :)

[@Darltornjacket]

Nice. Very straight forward and doable

It’s good fun too. 👍😁

Cheers Stephen, it’s a nice little camp project for those evenings around the fire! Atb, Simon.

[@earlelzy7243]

I did enjoy this video to give me an idea for my next diy project.

[@nomad211d]

Nice Simon. I'll be in the woods soon, I've already got my blade and a few tools packed, and I'm planning on giving this a try. Thanks for taking the time to show us your method. Wish you the best.

[@stefansprater8259]

Thank you so much, Simon, I love it! As soon as the storm outside calms down, I'll go out and search for an ash-tree to make one of those buck-saws. It is incredible how easy it looks and I think it will take me a little longer as an hour, but I can live with that. Thank you again very much for this instruction and for your complete blog! And give Maggie a hug as well! Greetings from Swizerland, yours Stefan.

[@Bowwylad]

took me two attempts over two days, hours and hours of work :)

[@arcticpara7775]

another "Brilliant" Video,....Simon...Thanks

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thanks Mike! 👍 Atb, Simon.

[@earljames453]

Nice video, answered a couple of questions i had. Very informative. Will save this one for latter.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thanks Earl! Glad it was useful, Atb, Simon

[@MegaAaron42]

Professional wood workers act like its so easy and make it look so easy but the reality of doing this is much different!!

[@keithorbell9500]

Simon, that's brilliant. Very simple, and good tips, such as making the cuts across the grain for the mortise first. I'll definitely give that a go.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thanks Keith. Good luck with yours - a nice little project. Atb, Simon.

[@carpenterpilot487]

Its really essay to make Simon! THANKS for sharing Simon ur Ideal that u came up with and to help others to make!! I Enjoy

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Cheers Jeff! It’s a nice little project. I totally agree, making practical things with just a few simple tools as our ancestors would have done is very rewarding. Good luck with build! Atb, Simon

[@ron78]

Nice. I’ll have to try that. 👍🏻👍🏻 great vid.
