[TheForge] wire tree cutter

[bilcol]

Isn't a chainsaw a string saw with teeth?  Since wood can be cut with teeth
trees can be cut very quickly (unlike rock).  I think that with abrasives
cutting good sized tree would take quite a lot longer.  It would work but
why do it that way?

To: Bruce,
    I know that in an outdoors survival kit I had a good while back they had
a wire with teeth on it that was supposed to be for cutting branches for
firewood. It was about 6 feet long but only about 3 ft of it had any
teeth/grit on it. It cut okay as I remember, had to try it out. I don't have
that kit anymore but I would imagine it might not work so well with full
size trees due to the weight pressing on the wire once the wire is in deep
enough, much like a saw you would need to wedge it, etc. Then of course you
might not know exactly where the tree will fall and that is probably the
biggest problem. 
    Anyway my 2 cents.Vince Nakovics
