Don't know if anyone has mentioned it but the sap in those pine logs will make a sticky mess of everything it touches , so keep it clean and in a cover of some type

I was at a sawmill where they cooked the sap off on a heating stove.

Appreciate the input fellas. Great pic there, roundoak.
Leanwolf, I'll send you a PM in just a sec. Thank you for your generosity, friend.
Took a couple of horses into Sisters Wilderness this November, about 5800' camp with quite a bit of snow. Stayed a week, cutting our firewood for the wood stove with a saw as I described (but longer). I might be the odd man out, but I genuinely enjoyed it! Thinking that and an ax will stow much more readily in my truck for spring and summer camps than say a chainsaw. Buck saw fits nicely into a scabbard.

I picked it up at a garage sale in Burns, around 1970. Along with a Remington pump, 20guage shotgun! 125$ for both! Simons I think , is what I'm seeing! Old hard to read!

Ah the Misery Whip
Sharpen & set then you’ll be fine. Light strokes and keep that blade from rusting.

I have a 4 ft one man saw and a.6ft 2 man saw both bought at garage sales. Both hanging on walls. But if shtf they would be valuable tools. May have to learn how to set and sharpen.

Last year I bought a couple crosscut saws to be prepared if SHTF. A NOS 1 man and a rusty, but good condition, 2 man. Acquired all of the tools to get them into working condition and tried my hand at sharpening. The result was an overwhelming success! It made me realize that I needed to stock up on long shelf life canned gas for the chainsaws. What would take me a week with a crosscut can be accomplished in about thirty minutes with an Echo and a few bucks worth of fuel.
I also bought a Katana Boy 650, which is pretty impressive for limbs up to around 10".

Ya really need to use a sawbuck so you can cut while standing. Use a chain binder to hold your logs fast and steady on the sawbuck. The "assist" handle is to be pulled on, never push unless your assistant is absolutely a pro. A can of WD40 is your friend, have assistant spray your saw while you're cutting to keep pitch washed off the saw. You'll get 10x the wood cut with a two man saw, still no pushing until you reach professional level. It's better to have 3 people if you want to cut all day, non-stop and produce multiple cords of wood. Third man rotates out from cutting and sits on your log to help steady it and sprays the WD40. Keeping the correct set in a blade can be as important as keeping your saw sharp. Maintenance Tools https://www.forestry-suppliers.com/product_pages/products.php?mi=14681&itemnum=75169&redir=Y

Bow saw is easier and faster for one man than cross cut saw. Cut cords of cook wood for pack trips in the wilderness with a 30 or 36" bow saw way back when. Also, when blades get dull just replace rather than sharpen.

Acquired all of the tools to get them into working condition and tried my hand at sharpening. . I have been ready for SHTF for years. Got enough saws for the neighbors to help out, too. I also have my Greatgrandfather's 6' "bull" saw that he and his brother used to cut oak railroad ties and whiskey bolts.
