One man drag saw.

We have some awesome neighbors. My dad picked this up but did not know what it was. Studied it for a few day and we was talking about it. Ironically, I had just seen a video of one being used. Did a Google search and found out some history that I feel is worth sharing.

What I like is this answers the question I see so often. What kind of wood was cut with a drag saw?

I think people envision them being hauled all over the woods. Spose it happened but not so often. Much easier to bring logs to the saw.

That is one cool saw. It would be great that when you go to a GTG and take that along so some people can try it out! That will have some people really appreciating the gas powered saws!

Reading up on them, it had a lot of thought put into it. But I see it being used like you say, bring the wood the saw.
