Hand–Powered Chain Saw

I've seen pictures of these but haven't been unable to find an online source until today.

The website selling it, KayakAcademy.com, says, "This one works. We've used it to cut through six–inch thick logs."

No reason not to have a fire just because the power's out.

$27 here. (It's the second item down under "Camping Gear.")

Addendum at 11:20 p.m. the same day the post went up:

Reading the comment by one Waldo Jaquith — about whom more another time — on this post, I couldn't figure out what he meant for a few moments.

I mean, I've never owned a chain saw or even used one so it never occurred to me until his comment that Doh! — you don't plug them in.

So I guess what I should have said is, even if you're out of fuel for your Stihl, that doesn't mean you can't build yourself a toasty fire with wood cut by hand rather than machine.

Lame, but it will have to do as it is my bedtime and I need to get my Oreos and glass of milk and go settle down before sleep creeps up on me.
