@Doc.Holiday2 жыл бұрын
I’ve a 650. Here are some random thoughts. From observing you with the 1000 it seems that blade is longer than the human reach. You need to also use legs and rock your body into the process. I think the ergonomic geometry of the 650 is better suited for my tasks. It lives behind the back seat in my truck to process emergency blowdown but I also buck campfire wood. The 1000 would also require more storage than I’d like to dedicate. Great job on the video…

It was seeing the speed and efficiency of a large Silky Saw that made me appreciate the benefits of the larger version. For my usage the Silky Fox Bigboy Outback Saw was perfect, and upon first appraisal I ordered the Silky Gomboy Outback Saw to include in an emergency pack. The capabilities of the Bigboy Outback make having it essential. Along with my Gransfors Bruks Wildlife Hatchet, Mora Companion Heavy Duty knife and Cold Steel Special Forces Shovel, the Silky Bigboy Outback enables virtually everything one could possibly want to do outdoors.

I have bigboy 360 which fits (barely) in my USWE hydration pack... clearing hiking and mtb trails in my area (coast range in the PNW) . We can get a lot of downed trees. HOWEVER for the larger trees I bring a 30" bow saw. Thin kerf means a lot less effort, thus faster only because my arms last longer : ) The silky will cut as fast if not faster but obviously only initially until you need to rest the arms . Make sure you get a very stiff bow saw so you can put some high tension into blade. ALSO sharpen the teeth with a diamond hone. (yes even the new blades need touch up, believe me it's worth it though...). I alway have the big boy with me also. its nice to have both.. just in case and to change things up or widen a kerk or bottom cut etc..

Nice little workout for you there! Thinking I should probably invest in one of those. These older saws I picked up are horrible. We have more Pine and Oak where I live. Do you think the Bigboy 2000 360-6.5 would be more of a manageable saw for a woman to use for building or something smaller? We have hurricanes all the time here, so having one that can cut through a bigger Oak like you did would be great to have, but thinking it might be too much for me to handle.

@jamesellsworth96734 жыл бұрын
I bet you can guess a possible answer: "Watch the right KZbin Channels"; then practice skills systematically, with the intent to learn, whenever you can...at home or in the bush. Check out 'Corporals Corner', where a former Recon US Marine takes viewers through plenty of skills in a teaching format; applies them in the woods and recaps how things went. 'ReallyBigMonkey 1' with David Pearson shows how choices are made on gear selection for various purposes. His inventive nature shows a lot of problem solving, with some informative and entertaining results. 'Simon, Bloke in the Woods' is strong on selecting just the right equipment for hiking and paddling adventures. 'Kent Survival' may surprise you with what can be cooked in the bush--not just MREs or freeze-dried food.

This isn't an idea for the round house, but it could be a fun contraption to build. Perhaps a bit complex, but... Benjamin Franklin invented a device which was essentially a rotisserie spit, but it had a fan attached, so as the wind blew, it automatically rotated the roast (or whatever) was on the spit over the fire. Not medieval, I know. But a fun, challenging project perhaps? Taking bushcraft to its extreme limits?

THANKS for a thorough look at the Silky line of folding saws. Historically, I suppose a Saxon hall would have benches for both sitting and sleeping purposes. I would rather see you build chairs with backs and arms for comfort; maybe a trestle table for food prep and eating (and sleeping on or under.) There could be a lidded chest for storage.
