Re: what's faster? axe versus saw
Both require using both hands. How am I going to hold my drink?"Reason and facts are sacrificed to opinion and myth. Demonstrable falsehoods are circulated and recycled as fact. Narrow minded opinion refuses to be subjected to thought and analysis. Too many now subject events to a prefabricated set of interpretations, usually provided by a biased media source. The myth is more comfortable than the often difficult search for truth."

Depends who you're trying to cut up, whether they're gonna resist, and how careful you have to be with the evidence.If I use the word "God," I sure don't mean an old man in the sky who just loves the occasional goat sacrifice. - Anne Lamott

Re: what's faster? axe versus saw
For what? There are times when an axe is faster and times for a saw. Neither is faster all the time.
Not even if you include chain saws. Take for example limbing a down tree. Big tree, already down and chain saw handy and lots of limbs, the chain saw will be faster. Same tree but maybe limbs of such size that one or two whacks is all you need and a hike from nowhere, it's going to be faster and easier to carry the axe in and do it.Comment

'Fargo' had a better solution: a wood chipper!

One of Canada's more entrancing serial killers, pig farmer Robert Picton, tried a different option. Apparently a pig's GI tract isn't as thorough as one might have thought.If I use the word "God," I sure don't mean an old man in the sky who just loves the occasional goat sacrifice. - Anne Lamott

At our local Logging show, the pros can , with a double bit ax chop thru a 24" log in around a minute! Chunks flying off of a couple pounds of wood each.
I did say Pro's right.

Re: what's faster? axe versus saw
Great vids, the Redwood industry vid was incredible...HSE would have a field day with them today, but talk about the days when men were men..!
I was top cut 2 years in a row before I left that kind of work 7 years ago, with an estimated tonnage of 6000 per year on estates with rhododendron clearance programs. The biggest individual we found was over 80 diameter in the crown, 150 years old. I'd get through a pair of chainsaws per year.Comment
