I've used a Sven Saw for decades in Pennsylvania. SAWS RULE! (compared to hatchets). It's collapsable but not light however we were only hiking in 5 miles to hunt or fish.

Dead wood abounds in Penn's Woods and the fire hazard is usually very low. Fresh caught brook took trout cooked over hot hickory coals is beyond compare.

My buddies and & I toted in some cheese fondue in retort pouches and toasted our fishing with a good white wine...before nipping on some "Dr. Daniels".
