[QUOTE="hppants, post: 1223080, member: 27852"] Hudson - that article is an excellent source of information. I hope the link stays current indefinitely as a reference for this thread. S/M - I'll try that "Baton" method next time out just to know I have an option. Truth be told, I just recently bought my saw after seeing a buddy with one. I used to just use my feet, a couple of trees very close together, and anything else I could find as leverage to break/snap the sticks of firewood. Other times, we just through the end of the 10 foot stick on the fire, let it burn a break in itself, move the 7.5 foot drop over the fire, rinse, lather, repeat. Maybe I should have titled this thread "Camping on the Cheap"! Especially now (Wifey is not working), I've got to watch the pennies. But even in better times, saving money allows more budget to travel, therefore more trips. I guess necessity truly is the Mother of invention. Whatever it takes to get me on the road more, I'll do it. It's the same reason I don't own a '14 FJR right now, even though it sometimes keeps me up at night (I'm crazy ape shit over that bike, man). If I bought the bike, there would be no budget to ride it, and what the heck is the point in that - especially when I've got a perfectly fine motorcycle now? [/QUOTE]
