00:00:00
in the previous episodes of the series00:00:02
we looked at 10 bushcraft knife skills00:00:04
and 10 bushcraft axe skills both of00:00:06
which can be seen by following the links00:00:08
in the video description below00:00:10
but now it's time to finish the trilogy00:00:12
with 10 bushcraft skills in roughly 1000:00:15
minutes00:00:16
there are a few different types of saw00:00:18
that i use when out in the woods00:00:20
the saw that i choose to take with me00:00:22
will depend on what tasks i'm doing and00:00:24
at what time of year00:00:26
if i'm building shelters i tend to take00:00:28
a large folding pull saw00:00:30
if it's winter camping then i often use00:00:32
a folding bow saw00:00:34
but if it's summertime or if i don't00:00:36
need to be cutting large amounts of wood00:00:38
then i will use a small folding saw00:00:41
each have their benefits and drawbacks00:00:43
without further ado let's learn some new00:00:46
source skills00:00:47
the first skill i'm going to cover will00:00:49
involve the agawa folding bow saw00:00:51
this is a great saw for use on canoe00:00:53
trips and the folding design has been00:00:55
really well thought through00:00:57
there are times when you need to cut00:00:58
short small diameter pieces of wood and00:01:01
it can be really tricky to get any form00:01:02
of good grip for the saw blade to bite00:01:05
but if you have a bow saw you can lay a00:01:08
small flexible stick over the frame and00:01:10
place your feet on it to pin the saw00:01:12
down00:01:13
then you can pinch the top of the saw00:01:14
between your knees to help keep the saw00:01:16
blade straight00:01:18
now all you need to do to cut wood fast00:01:20
is to rub the log up and down against00:01:22
the blade and it will cut in no time00:01:25
this method is totally the opposite of00:01:27
normal sawing as you are moving the wood00:01:29
itself instead of the saw blade00:01:31
doing it this way allows you to put much00:01:33
more power into the cut and you can find00:01:36
that it will cut wood faster than doing00:01:37
it the conventional way of moving the00:01:39
saw back and forth00:01:41
it also means that you can cut much00:01:42
shorter sections of wood that you would00:01:44
not normally be able to do when pushing00:01:46
the saw back and forth one of the main00:01:48
problems when cutting wood out in the00:01:50
forest is trying to keep the wood still00:01:52
whilst cutting it00:01:53
if you have a small diameter log or00:01:55
stick that you need to cut00:01:57
you can tuck them under your leg and00:01:59
pinch them using the back of your knee00:02:00
as a vise00:02:02
now you can cut the wood whilst keeping00:02:04
it still00:02:05
and the saw blade is safely to the side00:02:07
of your body so that when you finish the00:02:09
cut there is no risk of the blade00:02:11
following through and hitting your leg00:02:13
again this method works well for small00:02:16
diameter wood anything that is larger00:02:18
will be difficult to keep locked under00:02:20
your knee00:02:21
but we will look at a different method00:02:22
for larger logs later in the video00:02:25
when making notches in wood for lashing00:02:27
two pieces of wood flushed together i00:02:29
would normally use a saw and then a00:02:31
knife00:02:32
however if all you have on you as a saw00:02:35
you can still create a relatively smooth00:02:37
square notch00:02:38
using a small folding saw i make a00:02:40
number of cuts in the wood all at the00:02:43
same depth00:02:44
then using the saw blade i make a small00:02:47
twist to pry the cut open and the wood00:02:49
will chip off00:02:51
i always make sure i'm not twisting the00:02:52
saw blade too hard and that i use the00:02:55
thickest part of the blade nearest the00:02:56
hinge as this is where you can produce00:02:59
the most force00:03:00
once all of the small pieces of wood00:03:02
have been popped off you can then clean00:03:04
up the notch by doing a number of pull00:03:06
cuts to clear any protruding pieces and00:03:08
square up the notch00:03:11
a similar method you could do00:03:13
is to make a small cut near the end of00:03:14
the wood then twist the blade gently and00:03:17
pop the small first piece off00:03:21
then continue with the next cut and do00:03:22
the same00:03:24
and then the same with the next cut00:03:25
after that00:03:27
until you get to the required length of00:03:28
your notch00:03:30
by doing it this way each piece of wood00:03:32
that you are removing is always on the00:03:34
outside and therefore has much less00:03:36
resistance when popping it off00:03:38
once you've tidied up your notch you can00:03:40
then place your sticks together and lash00:03:43
both notches together to create a right00:03:45
angle for things like door or window00:03:47
frames another notch that i often use in00:03:49
a lot of my shelter builds is a saddle00:03:51
notch this involves creating a curved00:03:53
notch that allows the log to sit on top00:03:55
of another round log00:03:57
to make this notch i use the same small00:03:59
folding saw but this time i start with a00:04:02
shallow cut on the end00:04:03
then each cut after that i make slightly00:04:05
deeper00:04:06
with the deepest notch being in the00:04:08
middle00:04:09
once all of the cuts have been made a00:04:11
quick twist of the saw blade removes the00:04:13
wood pieces and gives me a rough saddle00:04:15
shape00:04:16
then it's just a case of doing a number00:04:17
of pull cuts to tidy up the notch as00:04:19
much as possible it will never be as00:04:21
smooth or tidy as it would be doing it00:04:23
with a bushcraft knife or a chisel but00:04:25
it will be enough to make the notch sit00:04:27
firmly on another log of a similar00:04:29
diameter00:04:30
this type of notch is great for rafters00:04:32
in the roof of the shelter00:04:34
in winter when conditions are constantly00:04:36
wet finding dry wood to start fire can00:04:38
be tricky00:04:39
in this particular conifer forest the00:04:41
dominant tree species is the scots pine00:04:44
you can see that there are plenty of00:04:45
protruding branches on each tree that00:04:47
have been broken off or are simply not00:04:49
able to grow into a full branch because00:04:51
of the lack of light00:04:52
there is usually a significant amount of00:04:54
resin in these branches where the00:04:56
shoulder of the branch meets the main00:04:57
trunk of the tree00:05:00
resin can be an excellent natural fire00:05:01
lighting resource and given that these00:05:03
branches are high up in the tree they00:05:05
are often very dry all year round00:05:07
but how do you get them down00:05:09
if you have a small folding saw in your00:05:11
pack you can lash it to a long stick00:05:13
using an arbor knot00:05:14
the arbor knot is simple to tie just00:05:16
make one overhand knot leaving a small00:05:19
tag end and then make another overhand00:05:21
knot in front of it but don't pull it00:05:23
tight then pass this around the stick00:05:25
and handle of the saw and put the00:05:27
working end through the overhand knot00:05:29
ratchet down on the knot to pull it00:05:31
tight00:05:32
then do the same to the base of the saw00:05:33
handle so that it stays straight and00:05:35
doesn't wobble00:05:36
now you have a makeshift extended pole00:05:38
saw to reach those resinous branches00:05:41
when cutting the branches is best not to00:05:43
put any downward pressure on the saw00:05:45
just move it back and forth and let the00:05:47
saw do the work00:05:48
the weight of the stick will help to00:05:49
maintain pressure00:05:51
you can see clearly from this shot that00:05:53
part of the branch which meets the trunk00:05:55
of the tree has red colouring to it this00:05:57
is tree resin and it's highly flammable00:05:59
if you make small shavings from it it00:06:01
will take a spark from a ferro rod or a00:06:03
lighter really easily00:06:05
here is a dead standing pine tree a00:06:07
great resource for shelter building00:06:10
this pine tree has been dead a while it00:06:12
has no canopy and it would never have00:06:13
been able to grow much further due to00:06:15
the other larger trees blocking sunlight00:06:17
from reaching it00:06:19
this one tree can have multiple uses00:06:22
if you are in need of a temporary saw00:06:24
vise you can cut the tree around waist00:06:26
height00:06:27
then cut a v-notch in it00:06:29
you can then use this v-notch as a vise00:06:31
to hold long pieces of wood steady when00:06:34
sawing00:06:35
it's very sturdy because it's still held00:06:37
together by the root system of the tree00:06:39
even though it's already dead00:06:41
you can cut small pieces of wood on it00:06:43
too00:06:44
when you are finished sewing be sure to00:06:46
make a final horizontal cut as low down00:06:48
on the stump as possible00:06:50
for some deciduous trees like hazel00:06:52
willow and chestnut there may be a00:06:54
chance of new tree growth from the stump00:06:56
in a few years time00:06:58
if you don't have a need to cut a tree00:07:00
down but you are still in need of a vice00:07:02
to keep wood still when sawing00:07:04
you can use a stick with a y branch on00:07:06
it and place another stick leaning00:07:08
against this y branch to form a frame to00:07:11
rest your log on00:07:13
this form of saw vice works best with00:07:15
long locks as the log you are cutting00:07:17
actually acts as another leg for the saw00:07:19
vice almost like a tripod and it makes00:07:22
it much sturdier00:07:23
this type of sawvise is great as you can00:07:26
adjust the height to whatever is00:07:27
comfortable for your needs00:07:29
whether you're a small or a tall person00:07:31
the height of the vise can be adjusted00:07:33
to fit00:07:34
you can even cut short lengths of log on00:07:36
it00:07:37
but the best part is that when you are00:07:39
done you can simply separate the logs00:07:41
from each other and they become portable00:07:43
you can take them back to base camp or00:07:45
move on to another spot00:07:47
when cutting longer heavier logs the00:07:49
wood will often split at the end of the00:07:51
cut as the weight of the log puts too00:07:53
much downward pressure on the cut as the00:07:55
material removed gets thinner00:07:57
normally when cutting firewood this00:07:59
wouldn't matter00:08:01
but if you are using the logs for making00:08:02
a timber frame for a shelter or even if00:08:05
you are doing diy at home and you are00:08:07
using pre-cut lumber this tip will still00:08:10
help00:08:11
as you saw through the log when you get00:08:13
about three quarters of the way through00:08:15
take your saw blade out and make another00:08:17
cut on the underside of the log00:08:19
you might need to push and pull the saw00:08:21
a number of times to make the undercut00:08:23
once you've done this00:08:25
go back to cutting the wood as normal00:08:27
but towards the end of the cut as you00:08:28
feel it about to split00:08:30
increase the speed of your cutting00:08:31
motion and the log should cut cleanly00:08:34
with no split00:08:35
it's not something that you would need00:08:36
to do often when in the woods but when00:08:38
using pre-cut lumber or when you want a00:08:41
cut to look tidy00:08:42
this is a great tip for making a clean00:08:44
cut without the wood splitting off00:08:47
when making a fire from a bow drill you00:08:49
need to burn in the hole with the00:08:50
spindle to begin with00:08:52
and then you need to create a notch for00:08:54
the wood dust to gather and for your00:08:55
ember to be seated00:08:57
you can use a knife to make this notch00:08:59
but this can be time consuming00:09:01
if you have a small folding saw00:09:03
you can make two cups at angles towards00:09:05
the burnt in hole00:09:07
and then remove the material to make00:09:08
your v-notch00:09:10
it's much quicker and easier making the00:09:12
notches this way00:09:13
as generally folding saws are cross cut00:09:15
saws and therefore they are designed to00:09:18
cut across the grain of the wood00:09:20
which makes it fast to remove the00:09:21
material00:09:22
to create the v-notch on a bow drill00:09:25
you can use just about anything to00:09:26
support wood when making a cut00:09:29
if a branch is slightly off the floor00:09:31
you can place your log or stick over00:09:33
this and saw away00:09:34
more often than not for any small00:09:36
diameter wood that i'm cutting in the00:09:38
forest i will just rest the stick or log00:09:40
across my foot and use this as a support00:09:43
i can raise or lower my foot to open the00:09:45
cup and reduce the friction on the blade00:09:47
to stop it pinching00:09:49
it's simple00:09:50
and unlike all the other vices and00:09:52
supports i don't have to make the00:09:53
support from the forest it's already00:09:55
there with me and that's it00:09:57
like tolkien's return of the king the00:09:59
trilogy is complete 10x 10 knife and 1000:10:03
saw skills in 10 minutes00:10:05
well technically if you add them00:10:06
