>>1409634A folding saw or bow saw/buck saw blade are all you need for processing firewood. You can use a knife to make feather sticks and/or shavings for fire starting. If you bring only a bow saw/buck saw blade you can make a frame for it using tree limbs. The buck saw will also need a cord for tensioning. You can make the cordage onsite if you know how and the right plants/trees grow there.
>>1411471He's right about not going to far on your first outtings. You need to test your equipment or new equipment and new skills. Even when you have tried and true equipment and you are an expert, you should spend the first night not too far from the starting position or local store. That way, you'll use all your equipment the first night and morning and know for a fact you did not forget anything. If you did, you can simply go back and get that one item or two from home or a store.
