It fits into a small tin about 1/2" thick by 3 inches diameter. It is exactly as stated a piece of chain saw with rings at either end that you can eith hold or insert a bowed branch into to make a bow saw. It has has a double set of teeth to cut on both strokes (unlike a normal chainsaw chain which is sharpened for only one direction). They cost about $30 Canadian and are avalailble at many sports /outdoors stores in the Pacific Northwest. This is much more useful to carry than most of the larger folding saws or worse yet an axe! I keep a small survival bag with this, firestarter, dental floss, power bar etc. in a pocket on my PFD so it is with me not the boat. I also have an emergency grab bag stored in my boat behind the seat with a larger set of gear including basic repair kit (First aid materials for human and boat) - Mark :-) *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Fri Mar 27 1998 - 09:56:52 PST
