So, quite a few years ago I bought off of Amazon this product:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Max-Fuchs-Buck ... B00BPO5SXE
This week at my schools Year 6 camp it looked like the second group weren't going to have a fire due to lack of wood. So I thought it would be a good time to see if this could stand up to any abuse (yes I know, I've waited too long to test it properly in a real life situation) so out of it's cubby hole it came and within a minute I'd remembered how to build it and found a nice dead tree.
I have to say, really impressed by it. The fact it packs down to a tube that is about 40cm long and about 3cm wide is brilliant, the fact the blade and the handle held fast and gave me no problems whilst sawing about 20 odd logs amazed me even more.
Thought I'd share, if anyone has any questions or want more info in detail, let me know.
