Bug hotel’s.

Recycling 2 old Zuperzozial corn starch 3D printed cups into bug hotels ready for winter .

The cups had started to break down after about 10 years of use so we stuffed the cups full of recycled coir (coconut husk ) matting .

I made some tripod legs out off cut hazel poles which were bound at the top with wire all to help encourage bugs to hibernate in the garden .

@ccgearworks recently asked if I thought that the Silky saw Pocket boy folding saw was large enough to work as a possible survival saw .

Seen here 4th saw down and in the company of some very good saws from Bahco , Silky fixed zubat , Opinel , Tops folding saw and the Sere type folding razor saw .

As with the old adage of ‘whats the best survival knife’ the usual reply is ‘the one that you have with you at the time’ that being said I would personal say yes the Pocket boy would make a great dedicated survival saw .

It packs down small so easy to stash in a cargo trouser pocket or small bug- out pouch , car glove compartment  etc as would the Bahco laplander or the Opinel.

It weighs in at 160 grams  so your not really gonna get tired of the weight . The over molded rubberized handle gives superb grip in any environment with little chance of hotspots  . It has a limited life -time guarantee and easy to replace blades that come in 3 different TPI (teeth per inch ) configurations   .

The Japanese steel saw teeth are legendary at cutting  green or dead wood  and the pocket boy comes in 2 sizes  a 5 inch or 6 3/4 inch blade  and don't forget the old technique of cutting one side of the log  then roll it over and cut the other side allowing a 5 inch blade to cut through a 10 inch log if required .
