[duckman nale]

i am in the market for a saw to put in my backpack when i go on camping trips or hiking trips and i was wondering what people are using on here i dont want to break the bank my budget is 30 dollars

I picked up a SOG folding handsaw on camofire not too long ago for under 20$  works well and the lock is solid. keep your eyes on camofire as they come up there fairly often.

Those folding-type pruning saws would fill the bill for small jobs.  For firewood cutting, I'd look at one of the throw away handsaws, I think are called "Sharktooth" saws.  Pretty compact, and they have herkin' big teeth!  Just before I retired, a lot of the carpenters were buying them to carry in their tool boxes.  Not much call for them on jobs any more, but handy sometimes.

I use a gerber sliding saw for trimming branches and stuff when I climb, it does a pretty good job.

I also have a Wyoming saw for cutting bigger stuff, its a little bit heavier but works a lot better.  It breaks down so it doesnt take up a lot of space.

I have Wyoming saw too, its great, it came with two blades one for wood and one for bone.  Great saw....I think it was about $30 at Sportco

check out the tree gear sites like  wespur or baileys. fanno makes a real good product and they are cheap

Outdoor Edge griz-saw is within your $30 budget and is very packable at just over 5 oz.

 I have a Gerber Gator II, folding 21" bow saw with carrying case. I think I paid $36 at Sportco for it. The Gator I is the 15" version.

Slightly more expensive but look up the Sawvivor

i found a sven saw in our trailer and i was wondering do they sell extra blades because my blade is rusty and dull.

Get a Wyoming Saw. They can cut through a skull plate in no time, and they work great for cutting fire wood. You won't regret it.
