Snow saw attachment methods?

[Max Gosey]

I keep reading "or you could attach a snow saw to your ski pole" but I think to myself... how???

I know this is a serious JONG question, but it would be some useful knowledge for digging pits...

Here is the end of my snowsaw.





Thanks for the help, kiddos.

Take the basket off the end of the pole. Wrap two straps around the pole and join the snowsaw and pole together. Use ski straps if you have them.

How novel...

Thanks, dood.

Hmm. Do you have something for scale/ maker/model of snow saw? That'd be helpful.

Voile snow saw/shovel combo. The saw came inside the shovel.

It's on tramdock. Too lazy to dig up the link.

Doesn't the saw blade attach to the shovel handle? Which should work as well, if not better than a ski pole.

I've yet to try that... interesting point...

Edit: ya I have tried that, come to think of it because THAT'S HOW THE SAW COMES. I just wanted a method to make the saw longer, i.e. Lurch's method.

I need to remember to ask you about this when I make my purchase, Lurch.

I have that same saw, it’s made to fit inside of a telescoping pole but is a different diameter than my BD flip locks. I wound up buying a piece of pvc pipe, cut it to a length that would just fit in my pack and bored out the inside to the proper diameter to work with the saw.

Yeah well, I have a real flair for the obvious. I just couldn't tell from your post.

I'm not gonna lie, my common sense level sinks to a low sometimes...

This however should not be an indication of my backcountry awareness.
