    WASURF63's New ATFlippac

    Edged Tools? What do you use?

    I use a Gerber gator machete: http://www.gerbergear.com/index.php/product/id/151 and for my bow saw, I use a Wyoming Saw II: http://www.wyomingknife.com/saws.htm The Wyoming Saw is pretty cool because it collapses and comes with its own case.
