I have also listened to enough electric saws in my life,  it is what inhave done for a living for many many years and i just have to escape it.  Plus,  in a weird way i think it separates me too much from nature,  take that how ya will. I really appreciate all of the advice and recommendations, i watched the cordwood challenge and it sure looks tough, right now i am still young enough with enough vinegar leftbin me that if i have to trade the extra work for the peace and quiet, i will.

One of my main reasons for getting off grid is escaping the noise,  i have a Chainsaw, i dont want to use it unless i absolutely positively must,  i dont want to hear it,  i dont want to smell it , i dont want to refill it with oils and fuels etc.  I am looking at getting a Crosscut handsaw to replace the gas saw so i am A.  Looking for recomendations on a good hand saw that will last me.  And B.  I sparked my curiosity.... What if i had no saw? How would one go about proccessing fire wood without one? Would you section them with the axe and then just change the way you split it(no flat ends without saw)? Sorry if all of this has been discussed before,  i used the search and uncovered very little related material.  Thank you.

Just bought land in Wayne County,  on my way there next month.
