Saw is an item that is active in atividades EDC such as camping and bushcraft besides custom. This time, we picked up items recommended for the outdoors, such as a saw that is compact and convenient to carry. In addition, I will explain the difference from the ax used for chopping wood.
The saw and the ax are different here!
In EDC activities such as camping, we often use firewood for bonfires. Axes and saws are items that are often used when handling this firewood. If the wood is still thick, it is hard to burn, so there are occasional scenes where it is broken into small pieces, but if you use an ax, there is a danger that the wood will fly around due to the impact of breaking it, so it is not recommended in campsites with many people. That’s where the saw comes in.
The saw cuts the wood, avoiding the danger of debris flying around. Also, when using branches that have fallen at a campsite, it is easy to cut the twigs or cut them to a thickness that makes it easy to light a fire. Compared to an ax, a saw is an item that is more suitable when there are people around.
Types of saws that can be used in camping and how to choose
There are three types of saws that can be used in camping: double-edged saws, saws with a torso, and folding saws. Each has its own characteristics, so choose a saw that suits your needs!
Double-edged saw
It is an old saw and is also called a “carpenter saw”. Vertical and horizontal grinding blades are attached to the left and right blades, and can handle both cutting along the fibers of wood and cutting that cuts the fibers. Due to this feature, any kind of wood can be cut straight with a single double-edged saw.
Saw with a torso
The saw with a body has a fine blade and is characterized by being able to cut the cross section of wood so smoothly that it does not need to be filed. Since it can be cut finely, it is also suitable for precision work. The disadvantage is that it is single-edged and has a body, so it is not suitable for cutting thick wood. Let’s use it for thin plates.
Folding saw
O serra dobrável is a type that can be folded so that the blade can be stored in the handle, and it is characterized by being compact and safe to carry. If you put it in a tool bag, you can quickly take it out and use it even in high places such as pruning garden trees. It is a saw that is also recommended for outdoor use.

When do you use a saw in a camp?
Chopping wood
In the outdoors such as camping, there are many opportunities to use it for chopping wood. It is also recommended as a manner to use a saw rather than an ax where broken firewood may fly around. Even if you purchase firewood, it may be thick and difficult to light, so it is safe to have a saw. In particular, we recommend double-edged saws that can be used for vertical and horizontal grinding, and saws that have a large blade that can be cut with a crisp texture.
Bushcraft
Bushcraft is a style of enjoying life by using natural things in nature. Therefore, the minimum number of tools to bring in. Items that can be scraped or cut are indispensable because the branches that have fallen on the bonfire or the pillars for making instant chairs are used. Some people are dexterous with knives, but saws are recommended for beginners. The foldable saw that is easy to carry and does not take up space is perfect.
For custom
A saw that cuts wood is also essential for custom. Depending on the type of saw, metal plates and pipes can be cut, so the frequency of use increases. A saw with a fine blade and a smooth cut surface can be used for finishing cutting. For thin blades, it is possible to make holes in the plate or cut curves. There is no doubt that custom will be fun if you have several types.
Let’s try chopping wood and bushcraft using a saw!
The more you know about saws, the more you will want to use them outdoors. Please enjoy the outdoors by using a saw when chopping wood or bushcraft.
