I got myself in a dangerous situation last year riding a very remote trail,alone, in a wet snow out of gas supply range if I had to turn back due to downed tree that blocked the trail. It was my last ride of year so I threw caution to the wind but I was very conscious that 1 large downed tree & I would be SOL. Locally I just Uturn go home get my huge woods handsaw & remove tree. So what I'm looking for is best tree removal tool that I can fit in my sport bags? What is available?
Trail Tree Cutting Tool?

Saw your folding shovel last year bought that.lol Do you have this saw too? Also saw some hand type saw chains but don't know how effective?
Actually i do but I don't carry it with me on the sled. I have one for cutting branches around the house. maybe I should though....
Maybe should with C on back.... ie drove out our road to get mail last week came back big popple went down across the road in that 5 mins. Parked ....walked home & got my chainsaw cut it up but not pleasant in 40F rain & 40 mph winds.lol On trail alone were we ride have to be prepared!
These work pretty dang good. Small, light and easy to store on the sled. Can be a little tricky at first till you get used to it. Key is to have nice straight and fluid motion, otherwise they like to bind up. It's saved my butt on more than one occasion!

Silky "Big Boy" folding saw, 14" blade, from SherrillTree.com. It's what the pros use.

This little 9 in 1 has an axe and the entire set up is amazingly small. Should be able to chop it down. Or the saw to cut it down. Or the shovel to dig it out. Or the bottle opener if you just want to drink a beer and watch someone else do the work? Endless opportunities.

I got a folding saw.( $10 ) Well worth the money last year, riding after a wind storm. We were stopping every 1/4 mile to cut and get brush off the trail. As a member of the snowmobile club whose trails we were riding, I thought it was for our safety and for the next riders safety.
Picked up one of those chainsaw-on a-rope or pocket chainsaw at a flea market this summer. Will have to see how that works.
