Review & Description

New SPECIFICATIONS ? Blade & handle clips: Black oxide coated steel ? Case Color: Black ? Weight (saw and case): 6 ounces (170.1g) Following info from Ultimate Survival Technologies web site The SaberCutTM is designed to cut through the hardest wood and is so flexible that it will work well in tight or confined spaces. Unlike other premium outdoor saws, the SaberCutTM has a flexible blade for cutting from a variety of angles and in places where you have little clearance. The 24-inch patented flexible chain saw blade has bi-directional, self-cleaning cutting teeth to ensure smooth, fast action. While a standard chain saw blade cuts in only one direction, the patented SaberCutTM blade cuts in both directions. The result is more efficient and less strenuous cutting. In addition, the cutting teeth are self-cleaning and require little maintenance beyond standard care and occasional sharpening. When sharpening is needed, use a standard chain saw blade sharpening kit. SaberCutTM is specially treated to help retard rust and corrosion. Web loop handles are bar tacked securely to custom designed steel clips that help prevent the chain from twisting while you cut. The handle clips are specially designed to allow you to hold the saw horizontally when cutting small trees or wood oriented vertically. This allows for a straight cut directly across the grain. Use the SaberCutTM saw to cut down your Christmas tree at a tree farm, prune branches in your back yard, or cut shelter materials in an emergency. It even works under water. To cut high limbs off a tree, just attach a lanyard or light rope to each handle and toss one of the ropes up and over the limb Read more

Good night, laila tov (Hardcover)

Good night, laila tov (Hardcover)
By Laurel Snyder

Buy new: $12.23

First tagged by Laurel Snyder
Customer tags: judaism, earth day, jewish, tu b shevat, siblings, nature, bedtime, camping, parenting, families, outdoors, trees

Review & Description

A family trip turns into an adventure of discovery for a curious and carefree sister and brother. While the two explore the natural wonders of the seashore, woods, and fields, their parents plant trees as an offering of thanks for all they have received. In Jewish tradition, this is called tikkun olam, or repairing the world. As the children settle down to sleep, they are lulled by the soothing sounds around them that become the refrain: "good night, laila tov"—the same comforting words in English and Hebrew that their parents recite to them every night at bedtime.

Laurel Snyder's lilting poem is both a song of praise to the beauty of nature and a gentle lullaby. Jui Ishida's rich, jewel-tone illustrations illuminate the text and incorporate details that readers will love to discover. Read more
