RIDING WITH A SILKY SAW OR CHAINSAW? 

Let me know what kind of saws you carry to keep your trails open and safe?

Good choice on the Silky saws. For clearing trails, I would recommend the Silky Ultra Accel 240 7.5 or the Silky Bigboy 2000 with curved blade. The Bigboy blade is also slightly thicker. I use these saws a lot. Also for trail blazing.

For small stuff I had a Corona 10 in. folding saw. Worked awesome, but the end of the blade got broken ( my fault not the saw's) and I replaced it with a Fiskar 10 in. It cuts ok but not as good as the Corona. If we get bigger trees I just hike out with my Husky model 51. Sucks to have to carry the chainsaw but I'm looking at getting a smaller chainsaw that I can put in a backpack and clear my 9 mile loop.

I carry a Stihl 150 tc on the Enduro Engineering mount. It's light, but I do notice the weight on the bike.

I carry the Silky Big Boy for larger dead fall and a smaller saw for the little stuff.

Silky gomboy always on my backpack and rescue me many time👍👌

I went out with a saw to my valley the other day. I Couldn't believe how many trees came down.

The picture quality the opening made me think the video was filmed in 1998.

Seriously tho a brushless Milwaukee M18 Hacksall with a 6tpi blade is probably the happy medium here. 2-3 pounds, tops?

Frank Rizzo! And don't make me come down there for you either, tough guy.

I carry a silky bigboy strapped to my bike all the time, no reason not to have one. If I feel I might need a proper chainsaw i bring a Milwaukee cordless saw with an 18" bar and chain. I keep two batteries and the bar/chain in a cardboard sleeve in my pack. I just strap the saw body to the bike wherever it fits. NJ sucks as I'm sure you know, the cordless saw is quite nice for clearing trails without disturbing others.

It was a little sad to see your guy struggling with that tiny Silky folding saw. Sure it's cheap for a Silky and fits in your pocket, but c'mon. I find that people will clear more stuff from trails if it is quick and easy (and actually kinda fun), and they'll bypass stuff if they think that it is going to take too much frustration and effort. I've been using the Silky Zubat 330mm in a scabbard strapped to my right calf for about a dozen years. I learned about it from a professional tree trimmer that climbs trees with a hand saw. Sure, the cost is up there (~$80), but it is much easier to use and more effective than a short, straight saw, and because the scabbard is strapped to your right calf with elastic/velcro straps, it is as handy as handy can be. You don't even notice it when you're riding, and you can pull it from the scabbard (or stick it back in) in about two seconds. That means that you don't have to take off your backpack, pull it out, fold it out, use it, fold it up, put it back in the backpack and put the backpack back on your back. I strap it on when play riding as well as clearing trail. I even wear it when I have the chainsaw mounted up, as many times it's just easier to do a quick cut with the Zubat rather than using the power saw. Also, if I pinch the chainsaw, I use it to free it. It will even clear surprisingly large stuff if/when you are motivated to do so. You can buy cheaper hand saws, of which I have quite a collection, but none that I know of (even the Stihl copy) has been able to match it. Also, I recommend the chainsaw mount from Midwest Mountain Engineering. No elastic straps needed! It's the cat's meow. Note that you should use a bar cover when riding, as your bar and chain will get full of very gritty dirt if you don't, which is bad for both.

saws and bikes :) all in 1 channel for me :) +1

Ego electric chainsaw for the win. No pull starting needed.

I used to clear trail before then I realise clean trails make easy for environmental police chase me so now I left everything on the way fuck it ,son of bitch almost catch last fall.😅
