What are hunting saws used for?

Hunting saws can serve many purposes, including cutting firewood, as a survival tool, or solely for hunting. They come in a variety of styles that are compact and easy to for you to take along. Most models can cut through bone, plastic, metal, and wood, but they can differ when it comes to blade sharpness, durability, ergonomics, and strength.

Should I bring a machete while hunting?

Machetes are useful tools to have in the wilderness. As they can work as both an axe and knife, they can help you harvest berries and grapes, butcher wild game, and do a whole host of other things in the outdoors. During a hunting session, a machete can be used for self-defence, to cut and maintain trails, and clearing brush so you get a better view of the animals you’re hunting.

Why would I need an axe while hunting?

Hunting axes are another important tool to have on a hunting trip. They are commonly used for hammering in stakes for snares (traps), making fire starters, and building shelters. You should browse the different sorts of axes and consider their head shapes, sharpness, durability, and handle to suit your needs. Whether a curved or straight handle, a long or short one, it’s all about what you’re using it for. Belt and hunter axes or tomahawks are perfect for smaller tasks, while those with longer handles and larger heads are more suitable for heavier tasks.
