I have a few camping saws in my collection:
One of those ubiquitous red True-Temper bow saws I inherited from my pop, a bona fide OFG.
A huge two man crosscut I literally fell over when hiking in the snow outside the boundary of Yosemite National Park, and foolishly dug out of the snow with my hands and sugar anted back to our rented cabin .
A folding Sven Saw I've taken back packing numerous times.

What camping saw/saws to you have in your kit?

There is no better folding hand saw than the Silky Gomboy. Bahco's can't compare. Japan for the win.

My favorite is one like Coco's, I can't recall the brand, that we use to cut cane with in the marsh, for impromptu duck blinds.

Otherwise I also have a true temper bow saw, which was once was painted red. I guess you can still tell that it was red, somewhat.

I prefer the SIlky for performance, weight, and bulk. For nostalgia, the bow saw is without peer. All the more so if it was red, but it's hard to tell it anymore.
