2 handed saw

Postby justoneguy » Sat Sep 11, 2010 1:39 pm

I just found a 60 inch 2 handed saw at a garage sale for $35.
I had been looking for one of these for a while.
when i'm going to need firewood after tshtf,
no sense drawing attention to my whereabouts for miles around
with the noise a chainsaw makes.

man you had better be a man to use that saw.
are you 6 foot 6 inches tall and weigh about 275 pounds?
if not the saw may be useless to you.

Cool saw, but a new buck saw and a sharp axe are SHTF staples IMO.

Hang the two ender on the side of your building for decoration. ;)

haven't actually tried the saw yet.
but we are over 6 foot and 220.
And have a very physical job.
i think i can, i think i can, i thinki should stockpile with the chainsaw now
i have plenty of other saws around,
but thought this 1 would make short work of big logs.
Probably won't get a chance to try it out till next summer now.
plan on hanging it on the wall for decoration @ my cabin

Pretty cool find. Ive been looking for one of those as well... My dad has one but the handels are both cracked and it is just decoration now.

Two man saws are not as bad as you may think. They will make quick work of large logs. We still use ours every now and then, just for fun. If the blade is rusty, get it cleaned and oil it.
