Instead of a curved folding saw I prefer a rope saw. I've always been able to take down limbs and trees faster.

For those that don't know what that is, imagine a chainsaw chain with handles on either end.

Rope saws are neat as fuck as well.

Do you use one that is actual chain, or braided wire? I've used the braided wire saws, and I like how tiny/light they are, but I've never used one of the chain style saws to see if the weight/volume increase is worth it.

Mine is the chain style. I cannot compare as I have never used the braided wire and I don't have to think about weight savings that much. I don't generally hike far to a camping spot.
