I'm considering the merits of a pocket chain saw OR a heavy (at least 3lbs.) khukri for chopping (no splitting) logs no bigger in diameter than your thigh. Lets also include a 27", 4.5 lb. single bit axe to the equation (since I own one).
a) Pocket chain saw
b) 3 lb.+ Khukri (long or stubbie)
c) 4.5 lb., 27" axe (general purpose, single bit chopper, old Craftsman).
SITUATION: Getting married soon and travelling in a camper for the honeymoon. Will be spending most of the time at scenic wilderness areas, campgrounds, and only a few of those days backpacking. MD,WV, Tenn, KY, maybe FL if we get a cold spell in Oct.
QUESTION: In my experience, some of the best fire wood is outside of a 50 yds approx. perimeter of many campsites. Its usually impossible or very difficult to drag back a small tree to the camp fire. I already know what the axe can do. Would there be any advantage of getting a pocket chain saw or a heavy khukri for chopping small logs?
QUESTION 2: Is the "Pocket Chain Saw" any different from a normal chain, other than that it cuts in both directions?
QUESTION 3: IF a Khukri, given the same weight, long or stubbie?
