Recently I have been getting interested in purchasing a new tool for woods use, and while I have some ideas on the matter I would love some advice. I live in NC and am looking for a portable tool or tool system in which to use when I am out in the woods. So without further to do heres my specifications...
1. Must be light enough for me to carry without discomfort.
2. Must be able to promote survival a variety of conditions from hot and wet to cold and snowy.
3. Needs to hold an edge well.
4. Cost less than $70 for either the one tool or the tool system.
5. Needs to be well made and sturdy (function over form)

Thats about all I can think of at the moment. Please comment with whatever ideas you may have. Heck, grab a friend and get them to comment too!

P.S. Any recommendations on sharpening systems would be greatly appreciated as well.
 
Thank you Vanguard for your post! I actually love folding saws and find them vary useful, and love pawning my friends whenever we go out in the woods together. I will definitely purchase one for myself shortly. For anyone that views this thread I just wanted to let you know that I have moved. I changed the thread name to Best Tool for SE US which can also be reached using this link.
